Angola. Again. Some more. Sasha enters his office, and Jack compliments him on his choice of wives. Sasha informs him that his wife is pregnant. So the guy who kills the families of his workers in order to make a point is going to have a family of his own. Ironic, no? Sasha blah-blahs a bunch of shit about how Jack trained him to be a man and how those tools will now prepare him to be a good father. Or something. I don't know. I'm still thinking about the World's Tiniest Assault Helicopter. Jack and Sasha share a wordless toast and Jack says, "I gave you the tools. You chose how to use them." It's pretty clear that Jack's no longer fucking around. Sasha says something about how there was one time when they were both working for the higher purpose, but then…their goals suddenly weren't the same. This became perfectly clear when Jack's agency abandoned Sasha. That was the day that Sasha realized he had to pick himself up, stay on course, and be the man Jack taught him to be. I have no idea what's going on.
Jack tries to reassure Sasha with a hand to the shoulder. But then he moves around to the left of Sasha as Sasha says something about how some people in Jack's government see Sasha's business as some form of betrayal but -- GACK. That's right. Jack's moved behind Sasha and started strangling him with the wire. Ew. "But you…betrayed…me," grits Jack as he kills his former protégé. Sasha crumples as Jack finishes choking him with a rather hideous flourish. I'm not joking. It's really…gross, actually. I'm still not sure this whole thing wasn't planned and Sasha's not dead. Or whatever. I honestly have no clue what's going on with the show this season. No fucking clue.
Jack leaves his dead ex-friend on the floor and exits the office. He runs into a soldier and tells him that Sasha requested that he not be disturbed. Whaaaaat? If I were that soldier, my ass would be in that office faster than you can say, "What's with the blood on your hands, STRANGER?" This soldier doesn't seem to think twice about it, though, and then Jack deadpans that he needs a car because he needs to go to town. Okaaaay.
Hell-Lay. Vaughn enters the Apple Store and walks over to Weiss's desk. Weiss hurriedly closes his laptop and that totally makes me think he's up to something. Weiss asks if Vaughn found Murdoch, and Vaughn lies that he couldn't track him down. Huh. Wonder…what in the hell is going on? Nadia walks up and asks if Weiss is ready. They're going to the movies. Would Vaughn like to come? No, really. WOULD VAUGHN LIKE TO COME? That so doesn't bode well for the Nadia/Weiss relationship, wouldn't you say? Vaughn declines and says he'll see them tomorrow. They walk off, and Michael Vartan works his stubble like nobody's business.
