Frallison heaves Syd over the breakfast bar (I saw the stuntwoman on this one, but I don't give a shit) and Syd rapidly gets to her feet, just as Frallison swings over the bar and kicks Syd in the face. Then we're in the living room and more combat keeps coming. What I'm digging about this scene is that they're really trying to kill each other, and they're using everything they can find to do it. Like, Frallison grabs the gun again, and Syd grabs a fireplace poker and knocks it out of her hand and then tries to kill her with the poker. That's very Jackie Chan of her.
Once Frallison's knocked into a glass table, Syd spies the gun and goes after it. Frallison's onto her, however, and attacks, knocking them both out onto the patio. They're using every square inch of this damn apartment. We watch the majority of the patio action from inside, namely because there are a couple of stunts that require us to see them from far away: the one where Syd springboards to her feet from the ground, and the one where Syd pulls a running-up-a-wall-to-a-back-flip thing. Don't know if it's really Garner or not, but at this point I could care less, because the whole thing's totally wicked.
Somehow, they bust through the patio doors into Syd's room, and the gun goes flying under the bed, landing against the opposite wall. In an effort to prevent Frallison from getting to the gun, Syd valiantly tries to kick her ass, even jumping up on the bed to get a better vantage point. But this just lets Frallison grab her around the middle and tackle her into her floor-length mirror. Syd collapses, and Frallison backs off and smiles evilly at Syd.
Frallison makes a move toward the gun, but Syd gathers her wits and slices Frallison's cheek with a mirror shard. Frallison backs off again. And then Syd shoots her. Not once, not twice, but three times. Of course, Syd proves, once again, that she really IS the Worst Spy EVER, because, even with a clear shot, and an unmoving target, Syd can only manage to shoot Frallison in the left shoulder, in the upper left chest, and then the upper right chest. By the way, the head? NOT EVEN A TARGET.
Sure, we can reason that Syd's exhausted, has bad aim, not really trying to kill her, WHATEVER. I think the REAL reason is that the powers that be weren't sure just WHO was coming back next year, so they had to make any end-of-season deaths potentially reversible. Will? Could be dead. Could also NOT be dead. Frallison? Could be dead. Could also NOT be dead. You think about it for a while. I'll be over here going, "What the FUCK?"
