Paris. Vaughn's hanging out at a café table, looking at his watch. He gets up to leave and that's when Omar shows up. He's all, goin' somewhere? Vaughn's all, you're late. Omar's all, want a beignet? Vaughn's all, why, yes. And do you happen to have a café au lait in a commemorative Café du Monde cup? Because I would LOVE that. Omar's all, no, sadly, I don't. But I've been watching you for a bit and I think I like your style. Vaughn's all, seriously? COULD I GET SOME ANSWERS ABOUT MY FATHER? Omar wants the coil, but Vaughn's not handing it over until he gets some info. "You'll get the coil when you tell me everything you know about my father," he says. Omar considers this as we leave Paris and head back to Hell-Lay.
Ovary Clean-letric. Seriously. Sydney is cleaning everything that has a surface. She has on blue gloves and is holding a spritz bottle in one hand and a heavy-duty scrubber sponge in the other. Heh. I've been there, sister. When I broke up with my last boyfriend, I took every last one of his t-shirts that he'd left behind and used them to clean the toilet, the kitchen sink and underneath my bed. I'm a stress cleaner. I admit it. Syd is too, even though she won't really admit it. As she's cleaning, Nadia and Weiss enter, gibbering about the potential Yellowstone volcano. They start unloading groceries and Weiss finds a bar of fancy chocolate and he's all, dude! Fancy chocolate! I love fancy chocolate! And Nadia's all, um, DUDE. That's not for you, okay? She looks around and says, "Where's the freezer bag?" Wow. She shops according to where things GO in the FRIDGE? I don't even…I'm lucky if I leave the market with toilet paper in the same bag as the bananas. Damn.
So, Nadia goes back out to the car to get the "freezer" groceries and leaves Weiss with Syd. Once Nadia's outside, her cell phone rings. It's a collect call from a prisoner in Quantico. Nadia accepts the charges. It's Katya. What the? It appears that Katya and Nadia have been meeting on the sly now for quite some time. Katya's worried because she hasn't heard from Nadia and Nadia tells her that she's planning to visit tomorrow. Katya's glad to hear it, because Nadia's visits make prison bearable.
Back inside, Weiss watches as Sydney actually scrapes the chrome off the sink. Weiss asks Syd if she's heard from Vaughn. Syd's all, no, SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB. Weiss is all, yeaaaaah. It's gotta be tough on Vaughn, no? Going to see your uncle and all you can do is watch him die? Syd's all, yeah. Totally. Can you leave or something? Weiss is all, yeah, my mom used to clean stuff when she was nervous or couldn't control the outcome of something. Syd's all, I like a clean sink. Weiss is all, I buy that about as much as I buy that Vaughn hasn't contacted you. But you would tell me if there was something I needed to be concerned about, right? Because Vaughn is as much my boyfriend as he is yours. Syd's all, yeah. Okay? YEAH. I'll tell you if your boyfriend is hurt or damaged or not bringing you a goddamn present from Paris, okay? You seriously need a hobby, Weiss. Or, I don't know, A GIRLFRIEND. Oh, wait. You do have a girlfriend. You're just more interested in Vaughn than you are her. Great. Could you pass me the Clorox? I need to bleach the drain. AND YOUR CEREBRAL CORTEX.
Paris. Omar's on his cell phone, talking to his boss. After informing his employer of the current situation, the boss apparently wants to talk to Vaughn, because Omar hands the phone over. Vaughn takes the phone, and the Voice of Distortion on the other end says that Vaughn violated their agreement. Vaughn says that he's sick of the games and he wants some answers. The VOD says that Vaughn needs to channel his anger into his next assignment. Vaughn's like, next assignment? I don't think so. VOD is like, oh, continue to be like that and the information you want just gets more dear. You read what I'm sending you, homes? Vaughn's like, that's it. I'm done. Move on. "Check beneath the table," says VOD. "What?" says Vaughn. "Beneath the table," says VOD, "there's an envelope. Open it." Vaughn reaches beneath the table and grabs a small manila envelope. He opens it. Inside are a dozen or so pictures of a man who could very well be Bill Vaughn. He looks about fifty or so, and he's sitting at a café table. "If you still wish to back out," says the VOD, "feel free to do so." "He's alive," says Vaughn. "Your father is very much alive," says the VOD. "The question, Mr. Vaughn, is how far you are willing to go to find him."
