And now, for the idiots in the audience who haven't watched this damn show since the beginning, Sydney describes how she recognized the man in the archival video as the man who was in the car with Spy Mommy when she "died." In case y'all don't remember, that man's name was "Calder." But his real name is "Igor Sergei Valenko" and he's a KGB operative, just like Spy Mommy.
She's telling all this to Spy Daddy. It would seem that both deaths were faked. Syd assumes that if they find Calder, they'll find Kasineau. Spy Daddy posits that this will only work if these guys still have ties to each other. Syd's ready with the answers: when Kasineau liquidated some of his assets, the initials "I.S.V." appeared somewhere in the documentation. Oh, and, apparently, six months ago, a man matching Calder's description was caught on video entering a known money-laundering outfit in Cape Town. Um, six months ago? Don't you think someone might have, I don't know, MENTIONED THAT BEFORE NOW?
Shhhh. Just breathe. Don't think. Just type.
Blah blah blah -- Syd wants to convince Sloane to let her and Bunny travel to Cape Town in order to seize the records of the money-laundering outfit. She's positive that this will lead them to Kasineau. Spy Daddy bursts Syd's Bunny-bubble by telling her that SD-6 looked into Bunny's records and some of the anomalies suggest that Bunny may have ties to K-Directorate. Duh. Syd gets all twirly about the possibility that her recent boinking partner may be one bad mutha and tells Spy Daddy that he's got it all wrong; her boy's just misunderstood.
Spy Daddy's all, girlfriend! Get a clue! This guy's bad fucking news! Syd's all, but you don't know him like I do! And he's a great kisser (although, I must admit, his teeth kept knocking into mine but, hey, you can't have everything)! Spy Daddy's all, here's a quarter. Go down to the nearest pay phone, plug it in, and call someone who gives a shit. Wake up and smell the java, sweetheart. You don't know the first thing about this dude. Syd's firmly entrenched in her own little fantasy world and totally denies that Bunny may be a backstabbing double agent. Spy Daddy, having existed in the very same fantasy world lo these many years, makes a mental note to start drinking scotch IMMEDIATELY.
