Episode Report Card Erin: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Who's a Bad Mama Jamma?
By Erin | Season 2 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.28.2002
After a shot of the Barbie jet flying across a matte painting, we get a shot of Spy Daddy giving Syd a shot in the arm. No, not THAT kind of shot. A painkiller kind of shot. Daddy asks about the guy who shot her. Syd's all, wasn't a guy, dude. It was MOM. Victor Garber manages to look both surprised and completely pissed off, while still conveying a moderate sense of, "Oh, reaaaalllly? Wonder what the bitch looks like now?"
Syd goes on to say that she got the impression that Khasinau worked for Mom, not the other way around. Will leans forward and says, "Uh, excuse me, did you say your mother shot you?" Spy Daddy doesn't miss a beat and just snaps, "Sit down!" Hee.
Wendy Kroy: I was wrong. That's my favorite line of the show.
Regina: I might just have to agree with you.
Wendy Kroy: More vodka?
Regina: Questions. Always with the questions.
Wendy Kroy: I'll take that as a resounding yes. Enrique? Mas Stoli, por favor. And this time, shake your ASS.
Just then, Francie calls. Why? BECAUSE SHE'S LAME. There is no reason for her to call right then, except to announce to all of us out there who haven't been paying attention that Sydney has people in her life that she has to lie to about the reality of her situation. Like, Francie's all, "Where are you?" And Syd's all, "Coming back from San Francisco." Then Francie blah-blahs about Will and how he's gone missing and how he published some article on SD-6 and Sydney gets off the phone and both she and Spy Daddy go apeshit all over Willage.
In response, Willage and his mashed-blood-sausage face start asking all the right questions of Spy Daddy and Spy Barbie, namely, what in the hell is SD-6 and do you work for them? This allows for another DR. NANCY MOMENT IN WHICH WE DEAL WITH SYDNEY EXPLAINING TO WILLAGE ALL ABOUT SD-6 AND EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO. Will's terse-yet-hilarious response? "Seriously?" And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known as a "shout-out". Because, seriously? I use "seriously" all the time. And I'm the only person on the planet who does.
Wendy Kroy: Seriously.
Regina: Seriously.
Meanwhile, over at the Center for Spies and the Activities they Think Are Serving Their Country But Really Aren't, Dixon's breaking the cookies to Sloane about Sydney and how he thinks she's a double agent. Luckily, Spy Daddy's one step ahead and tells Sydney back on the plane that he'll handle Sloane. Syd wants to know about Will. Spy Daddy looks over at Will and says, "You're gonna have a hard time." This just makes Wendy and I giggle like school children because the way he says it is sort of like, "Syd - you're no problem. I've got everything under control. But you? Will? You're fucked." Hee hee. I missed Spy Daddy.
