Institute for Weepy Guitar Solos and Failed Relationships. Syd enters and comes upon Francie and Willage playing a video game. Francie's sporting big frizzy pigtails that only serve to make her look like an adorable six-foot eight-year-old. Again, she and Willage are TOTALLY more fun to watch when they're together. Syd greets them and they both kind of look at her funny. Because she's an international spy who's adept at reading situations, Syd asks them what the hell is going on and why are they looking at her like that?
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to welcome you to a little bit of enjoyment that we call "The Story Line that Sucks Wind and Takes Far Too Long To Explore." Seriously? Willage and Francie confront Syd about the infamous ticket stub and she tells them this big freakin' lie that makes NO sense and just rambles on and on and on. Something about international clients and non-disclosure agreements and blah blah fucking BLAH. It's, like, the dumbest fucking lie EVER. The only thing keeping me interested in this scene is Francie's pigtails and if that isn't the fucking SADDEST THING EVER, then I don't know what.
After Syd retires to the Bathroom of Open Wounds and the Music that Seeps from Them, we're back at Credit Dauphine. Syd enters Marshall's cubbyhole and asks about the Calder situation. Marshall informs Syd that there was no data recovered from Bunny's laptop. Oh, really? What a shocker. Except, like, NOT. Syd scoots on over to the Conference Room of Endless Expositions where Bunny's kickin' it old style. Syd asks him if he's heard about the computer fiasco. Of course he has, you international spy idiot. HE'S THE ONE WHO ERASED IT. Like, DUH. If there's anyone out there who hasn't known that Bunny and his buckteeth were bad news all along, well, I want to shake your hand and buy you a king-sized margarita, my friend. Cluelessness like that should really be rewarded.
Syd's still under the impression that Bunny's a good little boy and talks to him about the whole Spy Mommy hunt. Bunny drools out that Syd will find her mother some day. Shut up, Spitzy. Syd sort of touches Bunny's wrist, which is bandaged, and asks how it's feeling. Bunny says something about stitches but, since I honestly can't even WATCH Peter Berg's mouth without wanting to run over to Target to pick up a turkey baster so I can DRAIN HIS MOUTH OF ALL FLUIDS, I'm not even paying any attention.
Uncle Arvin enters and says that, while he's disappointed about the computer glitch, he's confident that they'll get Calder. Sloane goes on to say something to Bunny about leaving the country and entering some program at a university, which, if I'm not mistaken, means ol' Bucky McBuckerton is heading back into deep undercover work. Uh-oh. No more nooky-nooky for Syd.
