Aliens, anyone?
Dix is frantically trying to get Syd on the horn, to no avail. She's too busy entering the code to bother going off radio silent. As soon as she enters the code, the music box starts playing a tune. Syd moves her watch closer to the box in order to transmit the music to Vaughn and Kendall. Vaughn gets this look on his face that's like, "Hey! That's the song my dad used to sing to me when he put me to bed!"
Back out on The Frozen Tundra Of Impending Phantom Attacks, Dix is trying to tell the soon-to-be-dead guys that their invading forces are RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM. Only, they're not. In front of them, that is. Instead, they're UNDER them. As one of the soon-to-be-dead guys quickly discovers. Bullets shoot forth from the ice as Dixon realizes that their enemies are indeed under the ice. He tries to warn the other soon-to-be-dead guy, but he's too late. Guess that takes care of the two soon-to-be-dead guys.
Dixon shoots the shit out of the ice and tries once again to signal Sydney in order to tell her that the threat is beneath them. Syd's finishing up her Sugarcubes recording session and confirms that the CIA received the full transmission. They confirm it, and Syd sprays some corrosive stuff all over the music box, destroying it. She places it into her little metal suitcase and tunes in to her favorite SD-6 station just in time to hear Dixon going apeshit. "I read you, Dixon," she says. "What's wrong?" "Get outta there!" he shouts. "Sark's here!"
And so he is. In all his satiny black-clad glory.
Syd turns to face Sark, her plaster of Paris snow not budging an inch. "Put the case down," Sark instructs. She drops it. "Slide it over," he says. She slides it. "It was you giving us problems at the launch," he says, picking up the case. "I'd offer you passage back to civilization, but my submersible only seats four." Syd just looks at him. "It's the thought that counts," she smirks, grabbing her handy little ice hammer. She flings it at Sark's leg. He falls back in pain, and his machine gun fires in rapid succession. Syd makes a break for it, but the bullets from Sark's gun create a break in the ice. Syd falls through.
Remember that thing Dixon said about the ice freezing over in four seconds? Yeah. That was good to know. Unfortunately, it doesn't help Syd when she's trapped under ice in her pristine snow-bunny outfit and matching white headband.
Next on Alias: Spy Daddy has a secret, and the only one who knows just what it is Mama Hari. Think she's gonna tell Spy Barbie? Yeah, me too.
