While Vaughn's cultivating facial features, Jack's hanging with Katya, going over Sloane's paper trail. This scene, by the way, is totally unnecessary, and really only serves to give Katya a chance to make a pass at Jack. Case in point, Jack's all business, but Katya just wants to talk about Irina and Sloane's affair and did Jack know about it? Jack's all, uh, yeah, your sister? Had a LOT of secrets, okay? Katya doesn't really give a shit about her sister right now, seeing as she's fairly content to gorge herself on Irina's sloppy seconds. Katya balls-out tells Jack that she finds him sexy. "Deal with it," she smirks. I just…yeah. There's not an actor in the world who could pull off that line. Isabella does her best, but…no. Just. No. Jack, of course, would rather shove a lit tiki torch up his left nostril than acknowledge his own inherent sexiness, so he just asks something about a company called Dayton Electrical. Katya rolls her eyes hilariously and falls back on the sofa, peeved that the throwing herself at Jack plan didn't pan out. By the way, Sloane apparently hired Dayton Electrical for something. Katya reveals that this company is a subcontractor that did work in a bunch of different places, one of them Chamonix. Remember Chamonix? Well, you should, because the central villain in that episode is about to play a very important role here in a few minutes.
After Jack realizes the Chamonix connection, he and Katya conclude that Vivica A. Fox might have designed a security system for Sloane, so she'll probably know where he is. Jack gets on the horn and tells someone that he's going to be dropping by Vivica's cell in a few hours. Jack gets up to leave, and Katya gives the pass thing one more try, this time disguising it as an offer to lend Jack a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on about the whole Irina/Sloane affair. Jack just walks off as Katya stares at his ass.
Cuba. You know, I'd try to come up with something funny for this location, but that would take more time than I care to invest in this recap at the moment. Two guys are sitting in front of a dirty little house on the beach. Syd comes swimming up and lunges out of the water, speaking Spanish. What's she say? I really don't care. This season's almost over, thankfully, and I'd like to get to the end of it (and this recap) with as little annoyance as possible. So, Syd's yammering in Spanish. The two guys try to help her. And that's when Vaughn, looking totally delish in a rubber wetsuit (rubber + Vaughn = Happy Regina), pops up out of the water and drops the two guys with a couple of tranq darts. He and Syd make their way into the house.
