Syd's all, Marshall? I love you. Marshall's all, I love you too. But, seriously? DON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE TRACER. Heh. Syd wants to know if he can locate the Cube o' Flesh. Not exactly, says Marshall, but he can narrow it down to a ten-yard radius. Syd just grins through her tears. "Marshall?" she says. "That's called locating it!" Heh. She wants to know where it is. Instead of finding out, we instead switch to a shot of a gloved hand taking the Rambaldi DNA from one place to another in what looks like a lab of some sorts. Well, now, that was an exciting shot. Here's another: David Anders as Sark, pacing back and forth behind the "scientist" who's performing what I assume to be the fertilization. Hell, any shot of David Anders is an exciting shot. But maybe I'm biased. Rowr. While the "scientist" guy, who really looks like a thug, continues his work, just for shits and giggles, we get a close-up of some test tubes with "Sydney Bristow" labels on them. Yeah. We get it. THEY'RE MAKING SYDBALDI BABIES HERE. Moving on.
After a string of rather unimpressive commercials, we're back with Kommandant Kendall and his Krazy Krew of Kut-Ups. Except. Wait. Are they at Oops Center? What happened to Project Black Hole? What, it wasn't in the budget to head back down to Mexico or whatever? Come on! I feel gypped. Anyway, at Oops Center, Kendall orders the troops, which include Vaughn, Weiss, and Syd, to drop onto Patagonia and stop the fertilization. Okay. So now it's okay to talk about Syd's Lost Years and the whole fertilization thing? I don't…what? And how does Vaughn feel about some of his ex-girlfriend's non-Vaughned eggs out there, just running around willy-nilly getting all fertilized an' shit by some dead Italian guy's DNA? He is looking rather, shall we say, green around the gills at the moment…
Kendall picks up a call on his cell phone and walks off. Syd and Vaughn share a couple of rather guilty-looking and slightly hostile looks; then Syd walks off. Agent Sean's all, dude? What is UP with you two? Vaughn's all, tell ya later, dude. They walk off. Elsewhere, Syd runs into Dixon. They're both dressed in swanky black op duds. Syd's all, dude? What're you doin' in op duds? Dix walks over and drops the bomb that the day Syd called Kendall from Rome, he (Dix) was in the office. He knew that Syd was alive. He's known the truth about what happened to Syd all along, but he was ordered to say nothing. He kind of comments that now he knows how she must have felt all those years at SD-6, having to keep the truth from her loved ones. Syd asks if he's coming with them on the op. "Of course I am," he says with emotion. "It's personal for me too." He walks off, and Syd looks after him.
