She fills a spoon with ice cream and offers Frallison a taste. Instead of going, "Ew! No! I'm not eating off YOUR spoon! And use a fucking BOWL while you're at it!" she just goes, "Sure." and lets Syd feed her. They kind of smile at each other. Frallison returns to her book as Syd watches her. Nothing happens. Finally Syd gets up to go change clothes. As soon as she leaves, Frallison, who's been rolling the ice cream around on her tongue, suddenly gets this look of, "Oh, shit. Was that COFFEE ice cream? Dammit."
Wendy Kroy: Busted!
Rona: Totally!
Regina: Mmmm...coffee ice cream...
Syd quickly enters her bedroom and pulls a gun from under her bed. "I just remembered," says Frallison off-camera. Syd's head snaps up. Frallison's in the doorway, a gun pointing at Syd's head. "Francie doesn't like coffee ice cream," says Frallison. Oops. Syd's all, you got that right, sister. Frallison's all, drop the gun, honey. Syd's all, um, I don't THINK so, and then she leaps across the room, firing off bullets as she goes.
Okay, I'm not really sure that any amount of recapping can do this next scene justice. Really. It's all about the visuals. At least, for me it is. And this entire scene is truly the Best Girl Fight EVER. Or, at least, the best one on TV. And it's fairly clear that both Merrin Dungey and Jennifer Garner are doing most of the fighting. Let me see if I can bring this scene the "awwww yeah" it deserves...
Syd rolls into the bathroom, and Frallison proceeds to try to kick the shit out of her. A couple of punches, couple of stomach kicks, and a floor kick later, and Syd comes upon a bloodied Will lying in the bathtub. Dead? Don't know. Syd grabs what looks like a candlestick off the tub and punches Frallison in the face. They fight and punch and kick down the hallway, until Frallison spin-kicks Syd to the floor. From her spot on the hardwood, Syd sees Frallison grab her gun. Quickly, Syd leaps over the breakfast bar, avoiding the following shots.
Frallison reloads and comes around the corner of the kitchen, ready to do some damage, but Syd heaves a drawer at her, and they engage in some close hand-to-hand. Again, it's actually both Merrin and Jennifer. And it's really fucking cool. Syd manages to knock the gun out of Frallison's hand, and there's a single-shot thing going on here where they beat each other up and Sydney slams Frallison's head into a glass cabinet and Frallison slams Sydney's face into the dish rack and THERE ARE NO CUTS. Damn, this rocks.
