Oops Center. Marshall has bad news. Hm. I wonder what that could be? Could it be that the memory card Vaughn and Syd brought back from Berlin was completely wiped? It was as if…it had been hit with a strong magnetic field. Huh. Imagine that. Syd's all, how is that even possible? I mean, even in Alias-land, where pretty much ANYTHING is possible? Marshall's all, uh, considering there hasn't been a solar flare for over 24 hours and this isn't the deck of the Nebuchadnezzar, I'd say it was done intentionally. Vaughn, still living deep in the depths of La La La I Can't Hear You Ville, asks if it's possible that Cypher corrupted the data before he handed it over. Marshall doesn't think so. "So, we've lost everything?" asks Syd. Nope. Looks like Marshall's been able to partially reconstruct the files. Oh, that Marshall. He's so handy. Marshall tells them that he discovered that the worm's real purpose isn't to destroy data, it's to gather it. It's an intelligence-gathering worm. The point? The Covenant's looking for something. "What?" Syd tersely asks. He hasn't figured that out yet. But, until he figures it out, he's set it up so the worm's no longer corrupting data and the information it's gathering? Well, it's coming right into the good ol' CIA databases. Just for safekeeping.
Over in Bomani's Boom Boom Room…Bomani's just discovered that the CIA has cut the feed, so the worm isn't working anymore. He spies Sark milling around on the outskirts of the room, stomps right over, and grabs his twee little neck in one huge manicured hand. "Tell me why I shouldn't snap your neck right now!" he hisses. Well, because Sark hasn't taken his shirt off nearly enough this season, Boom Boom. That's reason enough to spare him. Sark just coolly reminds him that it was he, Sark, who secured Boom Boom's release from the Russian prison, so maybe he should think twice about that whole killing thing. Boom Boom lets him go (and, yes, I am clearly enjoying calling someone as manly as Djimon Hounsou "Boom Boom"; I am also clearly enjoying this nice Pinot Grigio that my ex-boyfriend Ewan McGregor sent me for my birthday yesterday. Thanks, Ewan! You're a sweetie! Kiss kiss!) and steps back. Sark just says that the Rambaldi work means as much to him as it does to Boom Boom and that he clearly overestimated Moronen's abilities. You sure did, bub. Sark's going to make sure that Moronen gets them the intel they're looking for and, once she passes it over, he'll waste her. Thank God. Finally.
Oops Center. The Division Of Dads And Daughters Discussing Evil Wives. Syd and Jack are having a meeting of the minds on Moronen. Syd believes that Moronen corrupted the file while they were in Berlin. Jack's a little more dubious. But Syd basically convinces him that Moronen is, indeed, just that stupid. Jack's all, and what about Vaughn? Is he on board with this evil wife shit? Syd's all, nah. He won't even entertain the possibility. He's such a dumbass. "It's like he can't hear it," she says. "Perhaps he can't hear it from you," says Jack. Ooooh. This oughta be good.
