Uncle Arvin surmises that Sydney wants to have Bunny involved in the operation she's putting together to nab Calder. Sloane also remarks on how Spy Daddy continues to come to him and ask for special consideration for the men in Sydney's life. Whatever. Plot? Anyone? Gimme a call if you find it. Sloane makes some rather seedy remark about how Sydney's been intimate with Bunny, creating a problem. Spy Daddy's all, that is SO none of my business and it sure as HELL isn't any of yours. And, while we're at it? Don't EVER mention anything about my sweet little girl knockin' da boots with ANYONE, okay? She's a virgin and will be until the day I walk her white-gowned ass down the aisle. Got it?
And now it's time for our favorite activity: The Music Montage. As Jeff Buckley's beautiful song "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" plays, Sydney slow-mos through the halls of SD-6. She spots Spy Daddy and they look at each other across the room. Before their rather loving glances can take on a tinge of creepiness, Spy Daddy glances off in another direction, leading Sydney to look the same way. She sees Bunny, shooting the shit with Marshall in his office. They're hootin' it up and Sydney smiles, glancing back at Spy Daddy. Spy Daddy just gives her this sour expression and looks down. Syd totally doesn't get the meaning of his expression and walks off to join Bunny and Marshall. Spy Daddy just watches her sadly. Victor Garber? You rock.
The music continues over another slow-mo scene in which Sloane hands out mission folders in the Conference Room of Endless Expositions. Sydney voice-overs that Sloane accepted the mission, and she and Bunny are heading off to Cape Town to break into the money-laundering outfit. What's her counter-mission?
Ah, so she was voice-over-ing to Vaughn down in the Subbasement of Dreams and Desires. Vaughn goes ballistic, saying there shouldn't BE a counter-mission. This just leads to a really stupid mini-fight between the non-lovers. Vaughn's all, when you found out the truth about Calder, you should have come to me! Syd's all, whatever, dude. Bring it down a notch. If I'd come to you, you would have had to turn over the info and we'd be kicked out of any future Kasineau-hunting operations. Vaughn sucks it up and sheepishly gives her some sort of device for recording information gleaned from Calder. He supposes, correctly, that Syd won't use it. What the hell are they talking about? Yeah, I don't know either. Suffice it to say that, even though Syd's not gonna share her Calder stuff with anyone, she won't let Kasineau walk. Or something. Don't care. End scene.
