Episode Report Card Erin: A | 1 USERS: B+ YOU GRADE IT Papa, can you hear me? No, seriously. PAPA?
By Erin | Season 4 | Episode 18 | Aired on 05.03.2005
Vaughn sees no sign of the Hydrosec yet. Nor does he see any sign of Nerdy McSpyBoy over by the projector. Elena's goofy little henchman, who apparently did time in Legally Blonde (and, from what I hear about Reese Witherspoon, working on one of her movies really is akin to spending three-to-six in the state penitentiary), is casually placing a bomb beneath the projector and pretending to look like he belongs there, even though he really sticks out like a sore thumb. Or a sore geek. Whatever. Upstairs, Stubbly Lambert gets a call. The Hydrosec has arrived. Syd hears this and nods at Vaughn. Nerdy McSpyBoy somehow hears this as well and drops another bomb into his drink. The Hydrosec comes traipsing in and, while Syd watches it arrive, Nerdy McSpyBoy places his drink on her tray and it starts whirring like the bomb that it is. Man. Are ALL the spies on this show the Worst Spy Ever? Like, if you're gonna plant a bomb on someone, by all means, pick one that DOESN'T ANNOUNCE ITS PRESENCE WITH AUTHORITY. I would have thought that would be in the Spying for Dummies handbook, you know.
Syd hears the rather large "Ding dong! I'm a bomb!" whirring just in time, however, and she manages to chuck the tray away from her, thereby saving herself and countless patrons. All hell breaks loose, and Dix and Stubbly run downstairs to see what's up. Nerdy McSpyBoy detonates the other bomb, and a bunch of people get thrown sky-high. Chaos. Everyone runs. Nerdy McSpyBoy goes after the Hydrosec. Syd puts a stop to that. She tackles him just as he's about to go for it. And then they fight. It's a really weird fight, by the way. And I think Jen's double did most of it. Or Jen's been dead lifting lately because DAMN her legs have gotten husky.
Vaughn goes after the Hydrosec, but Dirty Broderick gets there first and puts a gun to his head. Dix shows up and shoots Dirty, Stubbly shows up and shoots at Dix, another henchman shows up and Vaughn takes him out, and then Stubbly runs away like a little girl. Dix and Vaughn run after him. Vaughn checks in to see how his girlfriend's stunt double is doing with Nerdy McSpyBoy. Not well, as it turns out. He somehow bests her by throwing her against a wall and then, instead of going after the Hydrosec, he just…runs away like a little girl. What is WITH the bad guys on this show lately? They're all little girls! The only one who truly still scares me is Sloane and that's just because he's nuttier than a box of Nutter Butters with a side of pecan pie.
