Episode Report Card Erin: A | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT The Long Kiss Goodnight
By Erin | Season 2 | Episode 13 | Aired on 01.25.2003
There's a beat as all parties assess the moment. Then Batty drops the cables and goes for his gun. Too late, bud. Syd shoots the shit out of him. Shoots. Syd. Shooting. And killing. Did you catch that? SYD KILLED SOMEONE. Right in front of us! And it was good, too! Like, it totally made sense! Killing The Sadistic Dentist Of Asian Persuasion would have made sense too, but this is good! I'm happy with this!
With Batty out of the way, Syd runs over to her father; disgusted at the overabundance of petroleum products and the stink of burned flesh, she kind of gags and goes, "Oh...my...god...Dad!" "I'm okay, sweetheart," Jack manages to gasp. "I'm okay." Hee. He called her "sweetheart." Aw. And hee. And sniffle.
Back upstairs, the shit's still raining down. We check in with the Headsetters at Oops Center as they inform Kendall of the casualties. Then we're back with Syd and Jack as she concernedly looks after him. A medic enters and gently moves her out of the way so he can start scooping Vaseline off of Jack's body.
And we're back upstairs again. I think SD-6 has been successfully taken down, because some agents are getting cuffed and the guns have stopped blaring. The Agents of Invention are being kind of rough with everyone, considering that many of them have absolutely no idea about the truth of SD-6. As he and Dix are receiving their own bad treatment, Marshall looks at Dix in shock and surprise and starts to say, "Dix --" Dixon just shakes his head as they're both tugged out of the room.
Syd enters just then and sees all of her fellow agents being carted off like criminals. Regret and resignation play across her face. She moves over to Dixon and says, "Look, this will all be over soon. I promise. Thank you." She's clearly emotional. Unfortunately, so is Dixon. But in the bad way. He glares at her and spits, "Don't. Talk. To. Me." He's carted off, leaving Syd to stew in her own pot of emotions.
Oops Center. One of the Headsetters approaches Kendall and informs him that, while details of the casualties are still sketchy, the CIA now appears to be in control of all Alliance facilities. You know what that means, don't you? Awwww yeah...
IT'S TIME FOR THE KISS!
Y'all. I seriously don't know if I can even write about this. I've already watched The Kiss about seven times now. Just The Kiss alone, mind you, not the entire episode. Every time I watch it, it just makes me all goopy inside. And I am NOT a goopy person. It's just...sigh...
Okay. So. Back at Ess Dee Ex (see what I did there?), Vaughn rips off his clothes -- I mean, "mask"! -- and surveys the damage. It's a wreck in there. Syd also looks around the room. Then Vaughn sees Syd across the room, their eyes lock in on each other, the rest of the room disappears, and Syd looks like she's going to pass out if she doesn't hold him in her arms, like, now. The looks of love and relief on both their faces are almost enough to start me bawling.
