Episode Report Card Erin: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Bitch Is Back
By Erin | Season 3 | Episode 6 | Aired on 11.01.2003
Upstairs, Vaughn comes upon the elevator doors, propped open with a garbage can. He gets on the horn and tells Syd that Francinator's in the elevator shaft and she has Lange. Syd runs down to the basement to catch her, but she's too late. Lange's on the floor of the elevator, dead, his mouth all bloody. Francinator comes up behind Syd and knocks her flat with her gun. She stands there, looking down at Syd like she's a hissing cockroach and Francinator has a nice big can of Raid she'd like to introduce her to.
Commercials. Is it wrong that I love Geoffrey Giraffe? Those commercials are funny. "Hey, this harness is chafing." "Yeah, well, there's a breaking-in process." Heh. Heh heh.
Oops Center. Syd and her boyfriends Sean and Vaughn are tripping the java fantastic as they walk through the facility. Syd wants to know why Francinator just whomped her on the head instead of killing her. Sean thinks it's 'cuz Francinator digs her the most. Syd's all, oh, right, dude. And STOP picturing us fighting in our lingerie, okay? Sean seriously thinks that Francinator, evil though she may be, has developed some sort of attachment to Syd. Syd just says something about how it felt like Francinator had been ordered not to kill her. When'd you get that feeling, Syd? When you were staring down at the dead body of Lange and Francinator snuck up behind you and knocked you out? What are you, psychic now?
Vaughn just wants to know how Francinator survived Syd's three shots two years ago. Well, since Syd's the Worst Spy Ever, I'm thinking her shots had about as much accuracy as a Meredith Vieira report on obesity in America. Sean's all, never mind that -- didn't you say Francinator took Lange's tooth? Syd's all, yeah, she took his tooth. Langley cross-referenced the dude's dental records against the files and found nothing. "But then [Killjoy] was a genius," she says, pointing at Killjoy herself, who's just walked up. Killjoy's all, oh, I wouldn't call it genius, blush blush. Oh, please. Now they're best friends? Just because of a little car chase? Gimme a break.
Turns out, they don't need to find Lange's dental x-rays because they already have them. Remember that little jewel camera around Syd's neck? And those pics she and Vaughn took of him? Bingo. Well, that's not exactly genius, now, is it? More like totally bleeding obvious, and very good for Killjoy for realizing it, but I think I'll wait for further proof before declaring her a goddamn genius and sending her to a MENSA gathering. Anyway, the first, and hopefully final, meeting of the Moronic Mutual Admiration Society comes to an end, and Vaughn and Killjoy walk off. Sean's all, you know, the question really shouldn't be how come Francinator didn't kill you, it should be, how come she's still alive at all? Excellent question, puddin'. And I think we'll learn the answer later on in this very episode.
