Episode Report Card Erin: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Bitch Is Back

"Rez" by Underworld starts up on the soundtrack. God, I love this song. Over in Evil Land, Francinator's getting a high-powered sniper rifle ready for business. "Let's go," she tells her boyfriend. She's all in black, by the way. I'm sure that's not symbolic or anything. Back with Syd, the music pumps up even more as the camera slides up Syd's white-booted leg to her rock-solid thigh as she shoves her gun into her thigh holster. "Let's go," she says to her non-boyfriend. She's all in white, by the way. I'm sure that's not symbolic or anything. Yeah. The anvils are dropping like rain over here.
Inside the club, the music's blaring and the people are dancing. Syd makes her way through the club, and her white dress isn't nearly as cute as I thought it was in the van. She and Vaughn make quippy tech-op small talk about the camera and the PDA, and Syd tries out the equipment on some random dude at the bar. The equipment works fine. Vaughn keeps telling her to check out different people. "Oh, check out that guy with no rhythm," he says. Heh. We find nose jobs, fake boobs, chin implants, collagen lips, and pretty much everything else you think you'd find at a hip club in Milan. The only purpose of this scene -- I mean, other than the obvious Lange mission -- is to show, once again, how much chemistry Vaughn and Syd have together. They crackle and spark, even when they're not anywhere near each other.
They finally find Lange, and man, does he look BETTER. He looks kind of like a younger Michael York. Hell, I'd take a younger Duke of York, just as long as it wasn't Lange of the Cauliflower Nose anymore. Syd zeroes in on Lange just as Strauss walks up and hands him the identity papers. That's when she sees that someone has a rifle sight on Lange. She tackles him to the ground, and Francinator hits Strauss instead. The crowd scrambles as Syd pulls out her gun and starts shooting up at the balcony where Francinator is. Vaughn runs to apprehend her. Lange runs off before Syd can stop him; Francinator turns her shooting attentions to Syd.
Syd dives behind the bar, pinned down by gunfire. Lange runs down some stairs. Vaughn goes after Francinator. Lange keeps running toward an elevator. He gets in. Syd gets up to take a shot at Francinator, but she's gone. Vaughn goes after Francinator and Syd goes after Lange. Well, DUH. They're probably in the same place, dumb-asses. Lange, in the elevator, watches the counter go down. The elevator stops suddenly, and Francinator smashes down into the box. "Hallo," she says smartly. Oh, hee! She attacks Lange, knocking him to the floor, and then pulls out some really scary looking tooth extractors. She goes to town on Lange. Without Novocain. Ow. Not pretty.
