"Call up the onscreen checkout," says Syd, brandishing the remote control and handing it to Will. She continues to do something funky behind the TV. Will presses a button, and the onscreen checkout comes onscreen. He's all, you have to admit, my accent was pretty good. Oh, Will. Your accent was perfect. Melissa? You hearing this? "It was, like, early Stones," says Will. "I thought it was Australian," says Syd. Shout-out? I think we'll take it as such. Will's all, are you kidding? Then he repeats several phrases he spoke while being Rock Star Will that, actually, make him sound like a tool. Sigh. Will picks English from the onscreen checkout menu and goes through the motions as Syd futzes some more with the TV. Syd comes out, grabs her laptop from Will, and parks it on the sofa.
Syd wants to get past the hotel firewalls and see if she was ever in Graz. As her perky pink and black hair goes out for a second cosmo and a cigarette, Syd uses her laptop to hack into the hotel reservation system and find her alter ego, Julia. Will's all, what're we looking for? Syd's all, long-term storage contracts. People who've stored stuff at the hotel for a long period of time. A list flies past the computer screen. Syd finds "Julia Thorne" in a matter of seconds. "Unbelievable," says Will. Oh, Will. You've been away from Alias for too damn long. This isn't unbelievable! It's apropos! Julia Thorne's treasure can be found in Box 23. Syd's all, let's see if they have a floor plan online. Will's all, what if they don't? Oh, Will. Again. Have you learned NOTHING from being in Alias-world? Of COURSE they have a floor plan online! "Think positively," says Syd, as the floor plan comes up on the screen. She's all, subbasement, just past the northeast quarter. Will's all, what about security? He grabs something from the guitar case. Syd's all, I'm almost done with these surveillance cameras, let's move. She closes her laptop. Heh.
Will and Syd exit their hotel room looking extremely hot, both of them, and they walk down a hallway toward a big green door. Will puts something up against the door lock and SHOCKER, it unlocks. That's probably Marshall's doing. Will finds some door that he deems "spy-worthy" and signals Syd. She pulls out a lipstick and runs it along the steel door, creating a red square. Then she tells Will to stand back and sprays something along the lines of the square she's just created. Suddenly, there's the image of a flame crawling along the lipstick trail Syd has left. Syd steps back. Once she does, a rather large rectangle opens up and the steel piece falls down to the floor.
