Vaughn rightly surmises that if they find Elya, they'll find something on his dad. Syd turns a page in the file and shows us a picture of Robin. She says he's Hans Dietrich, a German money launderer, and he's funneled over a million Euros into an encrypted bank account labeled Nightingale. Dietrich's office is in Munich, above a beer hall he runs (what, no nightclub?) on the ground floor. Syd thinks that if they can get into his files, they'll be able to get a lead on Elya, and therefore Vaughn's dad. Vaughn looks at Syd lovingly and asks her how she got all this. "My dad," says Syd. Vaughn's all, THE WHAT IN THE WHO NOW? Did you tell him everything? Syd's all, well, DUH. Vaughn looks pissed.
Sloane's Office of West Elm Furniture. Jack enters. Sloane looks up. "How much do they know?" he asks. "Uncertain," says Jack. "Apparently, there were journals we couldn't account for." Uh-oh. So they both already know all about Bill Vaughn. Huh. "Hmm," grunts Sloane. "Well, we should shut them down." Dayum. "We could turn this to our advantage," says Jack, always trying to save his little girl from that jackass Sloane. "Let Sydney and Vaughn obtain intelligence for us." "I see," says Sloane, hooding his eyes and inking his irises. "And you have no problem with that?" "Of course I do," grits Jack. "But given our current obstacles, they might provide a lead we couldn't get on our own." What in the HELL are these two up to? Sloane agrees to let the kids run with their intel, as long as Jack makes sure to keep an eye on them. "But just so we're clear," sneers Sloane, "we cannot afford to be compromised, not even by your daughter." "It won't come to that," spits Jack, walking off. Sloane just looks after him with an expression of, oh, you are SO dead once I get whatever it is I'm after. Heh. Seriously, though, WHAT IS UP WITH THESE TWO? I'm dying to know this damn endgame.
Ovary Electric. Weiss is hanging out, reading US Weekly, when Vaughn walks through the room, carrying a bunch of luggage. He and Syd are apparently covering their Munich trip with a fake wine country excursion. There's a lot of "will you water the plants" and "just go and have fun" exchanges between Syd and Nadia, until, finally, the happy couple looks like they're ready to go. And that's when Weiss sadly tries to get himself invited to dinner with them. He's all, dudes! We could come up and meet you! And Vaughn and Syd are like, dude? We're going to busy being naked, so, no, you can't come. Even Nadia's like, dude? What is WRONG with you? I seriously can't believe I'm dating you. Syd? Vaughn? Go. I'll make sure to keep him on a leash. Promise. It's all funny and silly and stuff and I love Weiss, but let's get to the beerhaus already, shall we?
