Episode Report Card Erin: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Box, Part II

Back in MacGyver Land. Okay, now we actually see what's behind the steel wall here. A big honking tower of C-4 with a trigger set dead center. The whole thing's wrapped tightly in plastic, so Syd cuts a hole. Before she can do anything about the trigger itself, however, one of the FLCs' radios emits something, signaling his arrival on the scene. Spy Barbie jumps him, but he's a feisty little bugger and he gives her a few choice gut punches and several ripping facial knocks. None of which, of course, will make any appearance in the form of bruises or cuts, mind you.
Meanwhile, outside the entrance to the private Credit Dauphine garage, Vaughn's pulling out his -- ew! Not that! Don't be gross! Shut up! He's pulling out his KEY CARD and inserting it into the slot. Well, even "inserting it into the slot" sounds vaguely pornographic, so, you know, talk amongst yourselves. Rogue Agent Apathy moves menacingly through the private garage, even though there's nothing around to move menacingly toward. The Russian FLC located in the van ('member him?) sees Vaughn and readies his big-ass gun. Vaughn walks over to Syd's car and feels the hood. Okay, even THAT sounds vaguely pornographic to me. Man, I need to get laid.
After feeling up Syd's car (I know, I know), Vaughn spies the van and moves toward it. He announces that he's a federal officer and tells the Russian FLC to step out of the car so he can ask him a few questions. The Russian FLC calmly agrees, and they go grab some cappuccinos so they can discuss the Scopes trial and its inherent effect on religion in schools in these modern times. Or he slams open the door and tries to kick the shit out of Vaughn. He comes pretty damn close to blowing Vaughn's brains out, but The Little Agent That Could manages to somehow wrangle the gun around and blow a hole right through the Russian FLC. Of course, Vaughn looks just about as shocked as the Russian. So much for Rogue Agent Apathy. He talks the talk, but can he walk the walk?
Back at The Not-Okay Corral, The Weasel's secretary enters and informs him that Vaughn's calling for Agent Sean, but she can't locate the bastard. Weasel helpfully offers to take the call. "Extraction Teams 'R' Us," he smarms. Heh. Weasel's funny. Vaughn's not amused and wants to know where his beer buddy is. "Probably out getting another pizza," Weasel retorts. Again, heh. Vaughn's sense of humor left the building about the same time as the bullet entered the Russian, so he's all, dude, I got confirmation. Oh, and a dead body, just like you wanted. They go back and forth with Vaughn telling Weasel that he's at SD-6 and Weasel getting all pissed off and, you know, whatever. Let's just say that Weasel ain't gonna send in an extraction team and Vaughn's on his own and cut to the chase, shall we?
