Oh, and during the whole explanation of Vaughn's condition, Killjoy already looks inexplicably pissed off at Syd, as if this whole thing were her fault. Well, I mean, this whole thing was Syd's fault, but Killjoy doesn't know that yet. So she's a premature bitch as well as just a regular one. Nice to know. Syd chooses this moment to tell Killjoy that it was she who did the stabbing, not Soymoan. Killjoy's understandably riled. But before she can slam Syd's head against the nearest gurney a couple times, both their beepers go off simultaneously. "47 911" is what they both read. Would that be another unexplained Rambaldi-esque "47" moment? Yeah. That's what I thought.
Conference Room of Endless Expositions. The whole gang's here, including the Angry Girls of Love's Revenge. According to Dix and some handy satellite footage, it would appear that Sark released his biological weapon somewhere over the Ural mountains. Apparently, the entire population of a prison was killed when the weapon was dropped. That's 300 guards and 500 prisoners. There was one survivor. Djimon Hounsou. Or, as he's known on Alias, Kazari Bomani. Or, as he's known in my house, Hot Guy With Pretty Accent And Big Arms. I haven't come up with a nickname for him yet, so, until I do, we'll just call him "Bomani."
Looks like Bomani is the largest arms dealer in Africa. I don't know about that, but he sure as hell has the largest ARMS in Africa. It also looks like Sark was one of the hazmat guys sent in to retrieve Bomani from the prison. Last time anyone saw Bomani, he was being escorted by the hazmat guys into a decontamination unit. Syd wants to know how he survived. Marshall gets up to blither his way through another trademark Marshall-ism, but Dix cuts him short, and we learn rather quickly that the Covenant hand-tailored the bio-weapon to kill everyone except the person whose genetic profile was encoded into the virus. "I mean, the whole thing's pretty cool," says Marshall. He gets looks from everyone. "In a sick, horrible way…" Hee.
Killjoy speaks up that Sloane has a conference in Mexico and she's scheduled to meet with him the day after tomorrow. Syd's all, um, did I miss something? What does Sloane have to do with this whole Bomani thing? Killjoy's all, oh, nothing, really. Except for that little part where Sloane gave us intel that nailed Bomani, and that was the whole damn reason we pardoned him in the first place. "He might have a lead," Killjoy bucktooths. Dix orders Syd to go with Killjoy to Mexico. What, again with the Mexico? Why? What, Sloane can't go to Marseilles or something? Man. The budget must be TIGHT this season.
