Seconds later, Vaughn enters Syd's bedroom, where she's sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging her knee to her chest. "What's going on?" he asks. "It was Lauren who told me," says Syd, launching into her "What Jack Did Wrong THIS Time" explanation. So, Sydney tells Vaughn the story of the Wittenberg safety deposit box and how she went to find out what was in it and when she got there and opened it up, inside the box there was a classified file on black paper and…well, you know the rest. Oh, except for the part where Syd discovered evidence that Irina Derevko had been a security risk (well, duh) and how Jack asked for, and got, authority to execute her. Vaughn looks all d'oh! about this, but not nearly as d'oh! as he should, which kind of makes me think…Vaughn maybe had something to do with Irina's death? I dunno. I'm talking out my ass here, people. Anyway, back to the dramatic reveal: "And he did it," says Syd, bringing on the water works. "He killed her. He killed my mother." Vaughn pulls Syd into his arms and she curls up on his lap. "He did it, Vaughn. He killed my mother."
And I think this is an appropriate place to end this recap and go on to the next one and now I'll tell you to turn to page 773 of your Alias textbooks and feast your eyes on Chapter 47: How to End an Episode. Ms. Kroy? Will you kindly read from the chapter, please? And speak up so everyone can hear you!
