Ahem. We continue. "Now, at the last moment, your father switched to infrared," Vaughn says, "which is how he saw the explosives. We don't have routine satellite coverage over Madagascar. One had to be re-tasked. Now, the closest one was over the Indian Ocean, yet your father specifically requested the one over the South Atlantic which, of the two, is the only one that has infrared capability." How much do I love you guys, by the way? I recapped that WHOLE goddamn thing. Yeah, I partly did it so I could pause on his face in funny ways. But that's not the point!
Syd's all, he wanted to account for every possibility, and, like, he's my daddy! Vaughn's all, yeah, probably. Or, like, NOT. "Or it's possible," he says, "that he already knew there would be explosives at that entrance." Syd's all, what're you talking about, dude? He never trusted Mom, but, like, wait...you think my father wired that entrance in order to set up my mother? Vaughn's all, I really like my shoes. Syd's all, we were nearly killed, dude! Vaughn's all, I know. Syd's all, blah blah I'm indignant blah. Vaughn's all, he's done it before! Syd's all, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? Vaughn's all, what about Russek? Syd's all, I was a prisoner! Sloane was about to have me executed! Vaughn's all, I don't know why you're denying this possibility! Syd's all, okay, I understand that your authority is being superceded by that of my father, and you're TOTALLY feeling useless right now, but he saved our lives! Remember that, fuckwit! Vaughn's all, uh, yeah, again with my shoes. I really, really love them. Syd's all, I'll wait to hear from you, Captain Can't Touch This.
Foolio's "restaurant." Okay, so it exists. I'm still not sure it's not a front for some underground SD-6 drug operation, okay? Syd walks up, sporting shoulders that a linebacker would be proud of. She enters, and the place is JAMMIN'. She looks around for Foolio and finds her chatting with Will over in the corner. Syd and Foolio hug, both grinning madly, and Jennifer Garner and Merrin Dungey have absolutely gorgeous smiles. Merrin especially. Syd's all, where in the HELL did you find all these people? Foolio's all, can you believe it? I invited a hundred people, thinking, like, maybe, seventy would show up, and then Willage invites his entire NA group. Will's all, they're good people, ya know? Even though they really shouldn't be around alcohol or any other addictive substance. Foolio's all, I'm sure they're FABULOUS but, like, we make ninety percent of our profits off the bar, and they don't drink, okay? So fuck the twelve steps and GET 'EM DRINKIN'!
They all giggle at this realization that half the people in the place aren't contributing to Foolio's overhead, and the scene quickly moves from "restaurant opening" to "dance club disco." Um. Where's the food? Outside, Jack approaches in his Spy Cloak. Inside, Syd's dancing with Will and obviously having a great time, free of her Spy Chains. Spy Daddy enters and stands in the foyer of the restaurant, watching his daughter actually LAUGHING and having a good time. He's torn between doing his job and letting his daughter have three seconds of guilt-free fun. Foolio spots him and walks over. Before she can make it to him, however, Syd spots him, and Spy Daddy gives his head a jerk to the right, which is the universal symbol for "meet me outside NOW because it's really important."
