Next thing we know, we're hanging out near an oil field as a car approaches Syd while she's waiting by her big-ass SUV. The car stops and Dixon gets out.
Okay, now, the following scene between Syd and Dix is absolutely fantastic. Really. Best acting I've seen in a long time. Does it require recapping? Fuck, no. It's seriously a lot of back-and-forth and emotions and yelling and more exposition than you can shake a stick at. We've all seen the episode, haven't we? I mean, other than the people Down Under. I mean, basically? Syd tells Dix she's a double agent and that SD-6 has nothing to do with the CIA. Now, we all already knew that, didn't we? No matter how well acted this scene is, it's pretty much just tossed in here to explain to the Stupor Boys, if they even care, that Syd's one of the good guys and that even though he's working for the bad guys, Dixon's a goodie too. Also, in case you haven't noticed, SD-6 is EEEEEVIL. And so is the Alliance. Thus endeth the lesson.
After lots of back-and-forth ying-yang, Syd finally screams at Dixon that she needs his help because Batty's gonna spark her dad to death, and her ass is grass too if she goes back to SD-6, and if Dix has a few extra minutes in his schedule, could he maybe go back to SD-6, hack into the system, make a hidden file visible, retrieve some secret code, and shoot it over to Syd via email? She's crying. Dix is fuming. We're wondering how it's possible to love a scene while at the same time screaming at the television to "GET TO THE KISS." Syd hands Dix a piece of paper with the hacking instructions on it, and after staring at her for a good solid moment, he stomps off.
Ess Dee Sex. Dix enters in slo-mo and looks around at the other agents as if he can't believe they're all eeeevil. He sits down at his desk, glances at the piece of paper Syd gave him, and logs on to his computer. When he's logging on, the CIA logo is in the background. After he enters some special password, the screen changes and says, "Alliance Secure Network - Cell - SD-6." You know, just in case we weren't clear on the whole "SD-6 is eeeevil" thing. Dix stares at the computer screen in shock, and the dawning of realization spills across his face. Meanwhile, over at Oops Center, Spy Barbie and her GI Joes are just sitting around, staring at Syd's computer. The screen reads, "Your mailbox is empty." You know, just in case we weren't clear on that whole "Syd's waiting for Dix to figure shit out and send her the code so we can GET TO THE KISS" thing.
