Episode Report Card Erin: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sydney The Destructor
By Erin | Season 1 | Episode 16 | Aired on 03.09.2002
Syd shows up at the disco-fueled Zebu Lounge and spies Francie and Willage across the room. They're doing their best to dance like a couple of epileptic freaks. I'm serious. Willage? Francie? Do. Not. Dance. EVER. They all hug and dance and it is NOT pretty. Just then, Sydney notices some guy in a suit looking at her. And not in a good way. She also sees Note-Taking Guy and The Henchman staring at her as well. Sydney makes some excuse to Francie and Willage about making some Hong Kong phone call and bolts.
She's immediately surrounded by the DSR guys. They escort her out of the club and into a waiting armored vehicle. Vaughn's there, along with Lindsay. One of the DSR guys starts shackling Sydney as Lindsay informs her that she's being taken into custody. Syd's all, DUDE! What in the HELL is going on? Vaughn's all, Syd, I promise, we'll figure this out. Syd's all, what about the code key? Vaughn's all, the code was correct, honey. Those medical tests you took? They were given to you in order to prove three specific physical anomalies that Rambaldi mentioned. They are: 1) DNA sequencing, 2) platelet levels, and 3) the size of your heart. "You match all three," finishes Vaughn. "So, what does the prophecy say?" asks Syd.
Cue The Music Of Mysteries And The Unexplainable. Lindsay clears her throat and recites the prophecy: "'This woman here depicted will possess unseen marks; the signs that she will be the one to bring forth my works. Bind them with fury. A burning anger, unless prevented, at vulgar costs, this woman will render the greatest power, unto utter desolation.'"
Whoops.
Next week on Alias: It's some sort of "blast from the past, blast forward to the future" episode. Unfortunately, I won't be around to recap it for ya. Shack's filling in for me while I jet off to Gay Paree! Have fun, kids! I'll bring y'all some tacky trinkets from the airport, 'kay?
