So, Killjoy's trying to pump (ew!) Sensei for info. But Sensei quickly reverts to that persona we know so well: Evil Uncle Arvin. He goes into full-on Satan Sloane mode here, people. "I must admit," he says calmly, "I was concerned for you when Sydney resurfaced." Killjoy just looks disgusted and starts fiddling with her pen. "I remembered seeing her with Vaughn," he continues, twisting the knife. "Their relationship reminded me of my own with my late wife. It was the kind of bond that…even death cannot sever." Hee. Wow. You can take the man away from evil, but you can't take the evil away from the man. Killjoy's fuming. She's all, yeah, yeah, yeah, he loved her. Whatever. He's with me now. So gimme the info and I can get the hell outta here. Sloane's all, now, now, Mrs. Elephant. "You shouldn't doubt yourself, you're very good at what you do," he says. "Despite how you got the job." D'oh! "What does that mean?" she coolly asks. Sloane ignores her and tells her, after looking at the Walker file, that he'll see what he can do. Then he smiles his evil little smile at her, and we move on.
And before you can diss on the Melissa here, she does a great job of conveying her annoyance and discomfort with Sloane. Really. And I'm not just trying to get into her good books. Call me, Melissa! Please!
Bar of Bad Spies and The Men Who Make Them Badder. Syd's enjoying a nice vodka and tonic (speaking of which…) as Soymoan walks up, with his boys in tow. Introductions are made. Then Soymoan's all, you ready, chickie? Sydulia's all, for what? Soymoan's all, you used to say you were ready for anything. I bet she was. They all stalk out of the reserved area and down into the main bar. They stroll past Vaughn and Weiss, Soymoan grabbing Sydulia's ass as they pass by. Hee. Barely containing his "hey, that's MY ass you're grabbing" facial expression, Vaughn tells Weiss, "Let's go."
Then we're in a Hummer (hee!) with Sydulia and Soymoan and the Boys. Soymoan's all, Princess Demetria's in town. Sydulia's all, how nice for her. Soymoan tells Sydulia that there's a necklace the princess has with her that's just gathering dust in a safe in the penthouse suite. Aw. How sad for the poor necklace. Guess Syd better go and let it out. That's precisely what Soymoan wants her to do.
The Cuban guy in the back hands her a box with what looks like a gun in it. Sydulia's all, you want me to steal the diamonds with this? Cuban guy (or, as I've come to call him, Chavez y Chavez) is all, we have something else for you. Just then, the other Boy picks up the phone and alerts the police to the fact that a theft is going on in the hotel right that second. Since this is sort of her "entry interview" into the gang, Syd rolls her eyes and gets out of the car, Soymoan watching her ass the entire way. She has approximately seven minutes to steal the necklace and get the hell outta Dodge.
