Yet elsewhere in the building, Bunny's hanging out at his desk, which just happens to be opposite Dixon's desk. The chill in the air you feel isn't the overly efficient A/C. Bunny tries to open the lines of communication with Dix but Dix ain't having any of it. He blatantly tells Bunny that he doesn't trust him, which kinda sucks considering that, since they're in the spy business, if Bunny sticks around, one day their lives will be in each other's hands. "And in that scenario," finishes Dixon, "the only person truly safe will be you." Awww yeah. Dixon's gettin' commando on Bunny's ass. Love it.
Just then, a couple of badass agents walk up and ask Bunny to come with them. Bunny goes off and winds up back in the Spy Inquisition Chamber. The same crusty old foreign guy is questioning Bunny about his suspicious money operations. Blah blah blah, what's with the accounts? Bling blam blooey, dunno what yer talking about. La la la lamppost, that's NOT the answer I was looking for.
Meanwhile, Sloane's watching the interrogation on the computer in his office along with McCullogh. Sloane's all, this guy's hiding something and I want to know what it is. McCullogh's all, want me to have some words with him? And, because Sloane's a sadistic worm, we can assume from the offhand look that he gives McCullogh that, yes indeedy, he sure does want McCullogh to have some words with ol' Bunny Face.
Over in Syd's office, Syd's checking out the Spy Mommy archival footage. Looks like Spy Mommy is being debriefed by a bunch of KGB guys. She gives her Russian name as "Irina Derevko" and her American name as "Laura Bristow." And, um, dudes? She's speaking in a Russian accent that's so thick I can practically TASTE the borscht. Like, wouldn't ol' Spy Daddy, since he was in the CIA, have had a teensy inkling that his wife could have been in cahoots with the Russians if she had an accent that rivaled Baryshnikov's? Hello?
My disbelief at this situation is further reinforced when Spy Mommy goes on to explain, in detail, her KGB mission objectives. Phase One, apparently, involved Spy Mommy posing as an American student of literature. Right. If this video is ANY indication, she'd have had trouble posing as an AMERICAN, period. See, either they should have had her posing as a RUSSIAN student at an American university or they should have MADE THIS CHARACTER AN AMERICAN. Like, you can't have it both ways, Mr. Abrams. There are plenty of AMERICANS out there who've gone to work at the KGB. Hi. Falcon and the Snowman anyone?
