Episode Report Card Erin: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Truly, Madly, Deeply
By Erin | Season 2 | Episode 18 | Aired on 03.15.2003
Outside, Syd and Vaughn and other fatigues-clad agents approach the house. Suddenly, Em goes, "Oh, God. I think he's here." Sloane and Irina pull up in a car, get out, and enter the house. After they enter, one of the CIA guys takes out one of Sloane's men. The CIA moves in closer. Inside the house, Sloane tells Irina that the database is in a safe in the study, just off to the left. He hands her a card with the combo on it, and Irina asks if he's sure about this whole thing. He's all, yeah. Pretty much. Or at least I will be until after my wife bites it. Then the whole deal's off and I'm hell-bent for revenge.
The CIA continues to move on the house. Sloane approaches where Emily stands and opens his arms wide, revealing just how cool Ron Rifkin looks in his casualwear. Emily now looks as if she's going to vomit up her lungs and kidneys as well as her liver. Arvy puts his hands in his pockets and declares that there's no use in going on with his plans if she's not going to be with him. Hearing his voice, Syd declares that the op is a go. Em's all, yeah, right, where have I heard THAT before? Arvy's all, it's different this time. Em's all, what, this time you're not wearing a Hugo Boss suit and I'm not wearing a silk scarf around my bald head? Big fucking difference, chief.
Syd tells her troops to move in when Em says something about going to the wine cellar. Back with the Couple That Couldn't, Em's just blathering about how Sloane's a bad dude and she can't put up with it anymore. Sloane counters that with a declaration that he will never leave her again. The what? The who? What's going ON? Arvy's words clearly have an effect on Em, but she tells him that she's there to say good-bye. Arvy moves over to her and brings up the beach talk. Em starts in with the chin-quivering. They're both totally losing it. Arvy basically states that it's all about them and nothing else. Em's all, aw, shit. Here I go with the loving-him-again thing.
Then she opens her top and shows him the wire taped to her chest. For a second, he just looks at it, and looks as if he's going to pop her one, but then she rips it from her chest and starts sobbing big-time. He joins her in the crying game after she tells him that the CIA's been listening and that they're here right now. Syd and her boys realize that they've lost the signal. Sloane takes Em's face in his hands, and I was really thinking he was going to squeeze it like an overripe peach.
