Weiss walks off to research the Witness Protection Program, and Sloane heads to his office, where Jack is waiting for him. Jack asks if Langley was able to generate any new leads on the Sarajevo theft. Sloane says nope. They got nothin' as far as the theft is concerned. "Then I'm assuming our agenda remains the same," says Jack. "Yes," says Sloane. "We obtain the decoder." Jack says he'll coordinate transport and goes to leave. Before he leaves, however, Sloane remarks that Syd was supposed to hand over her ops report fifteen minutes ago and there's no sign of her. "Any idea where she might be?" asks Sloane. Jack has no idea. Now, if you know the ending of this episode then…well, then this scene takes on a bit of a different shade. Just watch it again after you've seen the whole episode. Trust me.
Annex to the Subbasement of Dreams and Desires. Dix and Syd are meeting once again, and Syd's saying something about how she and Vaughn used to meet like this when he was her handler at SD-6. Hee. Dix is all, must've been romantic, huh? Syd just blushes and smiles widely. Aw. Syd defuses the cuteness of the scene when she pulls out a micro CD burner that she lifted from Marshall's office. With a few adjustments, it'll make a corrupted copy of the decoder disk that they can pass off to Sloane as the real thing. So, if Sloane hands it over to the CIA per protocol, no harm done; but, if he keeps it and tries using it, he'll be sorely disappointed. They'll have to watch and see. Dix pauses and looks at Syd. She's all, what? He's all, now I suddenly realize how tough it must've been for you at SD-6. He appreciates her doing this, even though she has her reservations. She remarks that it's different now because of Nadia; she almost wants Sloane NOT to be guilty. Oh, please. She barely knows her sister and now she's more worried about the girl than Sloane's possible guilt? Uch. Make Nadia evil already and let's get on with it. (And by no means does this mean I don't like Nadia; I do. Love her to bits. But I'd love her more if that Rambaldi juice running around in her veins suddenly kicked into high gear and gave her glowing green eyes and made her all evil and shit. Because that would rock.)
Paris. Mmmm. Paris. As Jet rocks out "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," Syd stomps down a "Paris" street dressed in funky black net stockings, combat boots, a ripped jean miniskirt, and a punky leather jacket. It's a look that went out, oh, around the time Sid Vicious finally silenced that shrieking Mimi, Nancy Spungen, but it looks so cute on her, I'll let it pass. She also has about ninety colored pencils or sticks stuck into her hair and it's adorable. Also adorable? Jet's bass player, Mark Wilson. If you'll excuse me, I just have to pause for a moment to head over to Launch and watch me a little video…
