Sorry. Back with Syd. She sees a spider crawling along the sink and just as quickly as it appears, it disappears. Syd looks in the mirror again and…yes, again, she looks like Nadia. She turns to a drawer and pulls out an electronic thermometer. Just then, Nadia and Weiss enter the house. Syd walks out, and Nadia hopes they didn't wake her up. Syd just says she was up anyway because she had a headache. She asks if they've learned anything new since this afternoon. Weiss just says that Cahill's papers make his head hurt. Nadia says that Marshall's making progress with the hard drive situation. Weiss starts to take off his overcoat and Syd makes this face like, "D'oh!" Weiss is all, whuh? Syd's all, are you…Weiss is all, what, staying over? Syd smiles at him. "No," he says, looking over at Nadia. "Unless…unless I am. Am I?" Hee. "You're not," smiles Nadia. Hee some more. "I'm not," he grins. "I'll walk you out," she says, hustling him toward the door. "She's gonna walk me out. She almost said 'yes,'" he says to Syd. "You saw that, right? This close. I was this close. Good night." Hee hee hee. Nadia walks Weiss to the door. Syd suddenly hears a beeping from her hand and opens it to reveal the thermometer. The temperature reads 111°F. Syd feels her head, trying to get a read on her temp. Then the temperature starts going up and up and up, as if Syd's a pot of boiling sugar or something.
Apple Store. Syd's standing in front of a bank of monitors, paging through Cahill's psycho notes. She zooms in on the word "vampire." Hm. Vaughn walks up and startles Syd with a "Hey!" Dude. She was just bitten by a vampire. Try not to sneak up on the poor girl. Syd wonders out loud if Jason Cahill was just delusional. Vaughn says that the CIA is assuming that the Cahills realized they were infected with something they came in contact with, probably a drug from one of their sources, but which drug, which source, they don't rightly know. According to the notes, it would appear that the Cahills were retracing their steps, trying to figure it out, possibly looking for an antidote.
Later, at another troop meeting, Marshall tells everyone that he managed to recover the files on the hard disk. These files include Jason Cahill's itineraries, dead-drop protocols, and routing numbers for discretionary funds. All that matters for the moment is that Jason scheduled a meeting with one of his contacts and that meeting is coming up. The contact's handle? "The Count." Syd's all, "The Count? Are you fucking kidding me with this?" Heh. Glad she said something because, yeah. Not so much with the bloodsucker allusions, okay? This Count dude is for real, and he looks to be one of the Cahill's sources, supplying them with samples of new drugs. Marshall brings up a photo of the Count and it's "Justin" from Party of Five. I never watched the show, but all of the posters who did watch it have stated that the Count was Julia's boyfriend or something. No idea. He's a creepy little dude on this show, however, so I certainly hope he was more likeable on POF. ["He was. Hot, too. Rent SLC Punk!, he's in that and it's Matthew Lillard's only non-annoying role." -- Sars]
