Back at the CIA offices, Sean plays with a yo-yo as Agent Anxious reads through the prophecy again. Your tax dollars at work, Americans. It turns out that there are parts of the prophecy they didn't reveal last episode. How conveeeenient. Vaughn wonders what the heck "vulgar costs" are (I think it's the money you put in strippers' g-strings), and reads this other part: "This woman, without pretense, will have had her effect, never having seen the beauty of my sky behind Mount [something Italian that sounds like 'Sebacio']. Perhaps a single glance would have quelled her fire." Sigh. Pause. Google. "Mountains in Italy." Okay, none of the lists I found have anything remotely close to Sebacio. I think they made it up, just to screw with me. Well, fine, it's Mount Sebacio. Sean tells Vaughn to shut up because "the yo-yo is sleeping." "The Yo-Yo Is Sleeping" is my favorite anti-war folk song. Vaughn comments that Rambaldi was born near Mount Sebacio; then he seems to come to some sort of realization, and rushes off.
Back at the Warehouse of Secret Collaboration, Agent Anxious and Spy Daddy meet up again. Spy Daddy says that SD-6 is still unaware of Sydney's disappearance. Vaughn shows him the prophecy and says that if the FBI takes all parts of the prophecy seriously, that means the woman in the prophecy will never see that mountain. Vaughn's grand idea? Grab Sydney and fly her out to Italy to see Mount Sebacio. They're going to try to trick a prophecy. Well, okay, they're actually just going to try to prove to the FBI that she's not the person in the prophecy, but still. And how convenient that Rambaldi decided to ramble on like a moron for no apparent reason. I bet Vaughn is pissed that he didn't say, "If only she had slept with that large-foreheaded man she worked with…" Vaughn says that Devlin has tried to throw his weight around on Sydney's behalf, but was stonewalled. Jack concludes that they're going to have to "extract" Sydney in order get her to Italy. Jack says they still have the problem of not knowing where Sydney is. Vaughn tells him all about the Weasel, still convinced that Haladki knows Sydney's whereabouts. Spy Daddy says, "I'll talk to him." Did anybody else feel a tingle? Vaughn insists that the Weasel isn't talking, but Spy Daddy purrs, "He'll talk to me." I definitely felt a tingle.
