Uh-oh.
Montreal. Sloane's hanging out in a park at night, and he's getting his gun ready. He walks up to a fountain, where that Jean guy is waiting for him. They kiss on both cheeks like old friends and then converse for a moment in French. Now, I've been brushing up on my French as of late, but the only words I understood were "friend" and "grandfather." Whatever. Sloane and Jean take a seat on a bench and chat about "the business." Jean's more interested in discussing his new grandson, and pulls out pictures to share with Sloane. Sloane is clearly bugging. Jean sweetly asks if something's wrong. Sloane stands up and shoots Jean a couple of times. Ah, old friends. They mean so much.
London. Sloane is the last one to enter the meeting of The Alliance of Twelve. He takes his place standing behind the table and not-so-subtly glances at Double-Oh-Geritol. The Alliance observes a moment of silence in honor of the now-dead Jean. The speaker says that they've come together to make a decision on Kazanow. Sloane, who's just sacrificed his best bud, seems to think the decision's in the bag. Not so fast. Everyone votes, and the outcome is six votes to five in favor of a diplomatic stand-off, not a war against Kazanow. Sloane glares at Double-Oh-Geritol, who just smiles sneakily at him.
After the meeting, Double-Oh-Geritol exits; Sloane storms up to him. "It wasn't [Jean] getting paid off by Kazanow, was it?" he spits. "It was you." Double-Oh-Geritol feigns innocence. Sloane declares that Double-Oh-Geritol used him to get Jean out of the way. Sloane steps closer to Double-Oh-Geritol and threatens that he'll manage to repay the favor somehow. Double-Oh-Geritol just tells Sloane to give his regards to Emily, and walks off.
Double-Oh-Geritol enters his car, and who should be waiting there for him but Kazanow himself. The crater-faced Kazanow just puffs on a gargantuan cigar and attempts to look fiercely evil. Talk about being in bed with the Devil. Lord.
Warehouse Of Doomed Love Affairs. Vaughn pulls up and walks over to Sydney. He tells her that his people are working on the codes, and in a couple of hours, they'll know exactly what Rambaldi wrote. He says that Sydney should just go home and relax until all this is over. "Next time we're in Rome," says Agent Amorous, "Trattorio Di Notti." "I'd like that," says Syd, the light of love shining in her eyes. Vaughn returns to his car and drives off.
Bungalow Of Best Friends And Painful Memories. Syd walks in and spots a note taped to the fridge. It's from Francie and Willage, and they demand that she meet them at the Zebu Lounge for drinks and dancing. Okay, the thought of Willage dancing is making me sick to my stomach. It's even worse than the cereal-eating debacle that occurred earlier.
