We switch to Syd right then and she's totally bowled over by this speech of Vaughn's. As are we all. Because y'all? Vartan rocked the house on it. Rocked. The. House. I couldn't take my eyes off him during it, and not just because he's Father Hottie McSexy. He nails every last possible emotion he could have during it and it is awesome. Syd thinks so too because she's totally crying right now. Dix kind of looks at her like, damn. Sorry you had to hear that. Back with Kelly and Vaughn, she says, "Forgiveness is a tricky thing, isn't it? Even God can't do it if you won't let Him." She goes on to say that she can't say no to Fintan and that this is her shame and it's the one thing she can't forgive herself for. She wishes there were a way out. Vaughn tells her that there are other ways to get out from underneath her brother's thumb. "I know it doesn't feel like it, but you can leave," he says with a hint of desperation in his voice. Kelly's all, what're you talking about? Vaughn says they should leave tonight. Kelly just looks at him like he's wearing false eyelashes and a mermaid costume.
Sloane's Office of Inappropriate Touching. Nadia enters and hands him freight manifests from their contact in Damascus. Sloane asks her what else she has in her hands. It's the picture, of course. She hands it to him and asks who the baby was. Sloane looks at it fondly and smiles, but he doesn't know who the hell the baby is. She walks off, still in the dark. Sloane looks after her, with a look of the slightest regret.
Montenegro. Vaughn and Kelly enter the dark hospital, and Kelly asks him if he's S.A.S. or MI-5. Yeah. Because those guys all have American accents. Vaughn just says he can make her brother go away, and then he tries to impress upon her the seriousness of what Fintan's involved in and that now she's party to everything he's doing. If she doesn't stop Fintan, thousands of people will die, and she doesn't want that on her conscience, does she? "Help me, and I swear I will protect you," he says, just as a gun appears behind his head. "I can't wait to hear the details," quips Fintan as Kelly just looks at them with a pained expression.
When we return from break, Fintan's strapped Vaughn to a gurney and is incredulously wondering aloud if Vaughn really thought Kelly would betray her own brother. Vaughn makes a smartass remark, and Fintan proves what a big strong man he is when he whacks a defenseless man across the face. Kelly just watches from the background. Fintan picks up a syringe and says that Ice 5 in its liquid form is too unstable and too hard to mass-produce. He's made people drink it, breathe it, eat it on food, you name it. The one thing he hasn't tried is injecting it right into someone's brain. And guess who he wants to try that on? That's right. Father Hottie McSexy. And he wants Kelly to do the honors because it's her fault Vaughn's here. Way to rationalize yourself out of freezing someone's brain, dude.
