…only to wind up in…Wisconsin? Um, what? Okay, I'm sorry. That had to make J.J. and crew laugh their asses off. A push-through with "Wisconsin"? I guess it only makes sense. We've been to Kuala Lumpur, Russia, Iceland, Argentina, and now…Wisconsin. The last exotic locale on the planet. Pass the cheese, people. This is gonna be good.
We're at a construction site. Some bald guy enters and tells someone named "Jonah" that it's quittin' time and they should get something to eat. Just then, we see that "Jonah" is our favorite Willage Idiot. Good GOD he looks hot. Yum. Baldy tries to get Will to leave, but Will says he has to finish some stuff and he'll meet the guys at the bar later. A few seconds after he sits down to go over some papers, Syd slowly walks up behind him. She looks at him for a beat, then says "hi" in a throaty whisper. Will just freezes, taking a second before he turns to look at her. Syd gets that "I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry" face and just says, "I know." Will slowly gets up and takes a step toward her. "You're dead," he says, disbelieving what he's seeing. Syd's all, dude, I know, okay? I wanna tell you everything but, um, I think I'm gonna cry for a bit first. She asks if there's somewhere they can talk. Will's all, oh, yeah, sure, I haven't seen you since, um, YOU WERE DEAD, and now you wanna go somewhere and "talk"? Yeah. I'm thinking I'm just gonna go get my stuff and then pull this gun on you.
Syd wisely puts up her hands, and there's some screaming back and forth about how Will thinks she's dead and Syd says she isn't and that she didn't die and that she's not a clone and Will wants her to GET DOWN ON HER KNEES and Syd falls to the ground and Will picks up his cell and goes to call Langley and Syd's all DUDE DON'T CALL LANGLEY IF YOU DO THAT YOU'LL BURN ME I'M A FUGITIVE and then Syd finally tells him to ask her something only she would know. Whew. Talk about your run-on sentences. Will brings up something that happened to him on the day he interviewed for the newspaper and how she's the only one he told about it. "What was it?" he shouts. Syd tells him about how some dude bumped into him on the elevator, spilling coffee all over his new white shirt, and how he freaked out, but his boss thought it made him look like a real reporter so she hired him. Damn. That's all I have to do to get a columnist job? Spill stuff on myself? Well, if that were true, I think I'd be at the goddamn Washington Post and I'd have three Pulitzers by now.
