Syd monitors Semanko's movements and tells Marshall to make sure the support teams are in place so that they can extract Will ASAP. Semanko meets up with Anna and they discuss Will's location, and Anna says very clearly that he's in Room 147. Duh. What, you were expecting Room 221 or something? Syd heads off to get Will as Rachel and Getty get stopped by some large Russian men. She crashes into Room 147 and Will looks up at her helplessly. She asks if he's okay, but he doesn't have a chance to answer because Anna enters and kicks Syd in the face. D'oh! And then they fight. In a remote room somewhere, Dr. Funboy and Peyton are monitoring the action in Room 147. "How good's your operative?" asks Dr. Funboy. "We'll find out soon enough," says Peyton. "Although, really, how good does she have to be to slice open Sydney's arm in order for us to remotely extract her DNA somehow because we weren't really thinking clearly back when Syd was on the big boat in the middle of nowhere and we could have sucked the DNA right out of her bone marrow if we'd wanted to? Also? Can't you get DNA from a hair follicle nowadays? Or, you know, saliva? Or cheek cells? What?" "Honey," says Dr. Funboy, "you need to stick to decaf."
Anna and Syd continue fighting, and Anna slices Syd's upper arm. "Begin data capture!" snaps Dr. Funboy. A sensor in the fighting room shoots an invisible light at Syd's arm and begins...capturing data, I guess. Will struggles to get out of his Chair of Ineptitude. Anna grabs Syd and holds her still so that the sensor can continue capturing data. Will struggles again. Some more. Anna gets Syd down on the ground and is about to stick her knife right in Syd's eye when Will finally frees himself and begins to kick Anna's ass. Awwww yeah. I likes me some Bradley Cooper, but I seriously likes me some Bradley Cooper kicking ASS. He punches her and kicks her, and it's totally dirty fighting, AND I LOVE IT, and finally he punches her hard across the face, and she goes flailing backwards into the window. Syd gets up and asks Will how he learned to do that and Will hilariously says, all casual-like, "Oh, you know, I've just been taking some Krav Maga classes--" HA! Anna gets up with a chair in her hands and, instead of throwing it at them, she throws it at the window and jumps out. Dr. Funboy looks at what he has on his screen and tells Peyton that they have exactly what they need. Whatever that is.
Plane of Revelations. Syd is swabbing up Will's head and asking him if Anna's people interrogated him. He says they didn't. No shit, dude. They plugged something into your skull; they weren't really interested in asking questions. He asks if it's safe to make a call. "I should probably let my fiancée know I'm okay," he says. "Did you just say 'fiancée'?" asks Syd. Will feigns surprise all, oh, did I? I suppose I must have. How silly of me. Syd beams at him, and Will sheepishly mentions the painter he told her about during Season Three, and how Syd had told him to ask her out so he finally asked her out. Syd's totally happy for him, and he says that he hadn't asked her to marry him yet, but that he'd been planning on asking her last night but then Anna showed up and tasered him and stuck a bomb in his brain.
