Episode Report Card Erin: A | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT The Long Kiss Goodnight
By Erin | Season 2 | Episode 13 | Aired on 01.25.2003
Agent Sean says something about how the team has to stay within five thousand feet of the plane in order to receive her signal. Then he pulls out a little makeup case or something and shows Syd a pen and some earrings. "Here's your transmitter, the earrings will give you audio and video and op-tech has the rest of your gear." Syd takes the case and looks baffled for the first time in forever. Agent Sean gets up and tells them that they should get to the plane. They both look after him as the scene cuts out to a title card announcing that we're "OVER THE ATLANTIC." Oh, that's not too GENERAL or anything.
Then there's a shot of a plane that sort of looks like the one that Syd was on at the beginning of the episode, but without all the red lacquered cabinetry. Oh. Wait. It must be the plane that the CIA is on. Oh. Ohhhhh. So we're on a plane, but since there's no lingerie, we must be hanging out with Agent "I've Cheated Death And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt" Sean and Agent "I've Been To Paradise But I've Never Been To Syd" Vaughn. Agent Sean's grilling Virtuous Vaughn for the goods on Syd. "Okay, whenever you want to have that talk..." They're both sitting in sort of combat gear, looking at monitors. Vaughn looks confused, possibly because Agent Sean's developed conversational skills that rival Oprah's. "What talk?" he asks innocently. Agent Sean's not buying it. "About the cologne or whatever the hell you're wearing." Hee. Vaughn's all, I'm not wearing cologne! I'm not! I just smell good! Naturally! Agent Sean's all, yeah, well, something's going on, because, dude? You smell like the bottom of Calvin Klein's laundry basket.
Agent Sean hits a button, and we get a view on the monitor of what Syd must have been seeing when she traipsed down that hallway in her next-to-nothings. And after we get a shot of a plain white cargo plane flying way too close to The Plane Of Red Lacquered Cabinetry, we're once again entertained with a shot of Syd in her next-to-nothings, slapping her whip into her palm.
You see that, Stupor Boys?! And you thought it was okay for you to fall asleep at this point! It's never safe on Alias! Lingerie could appear at ANY moment! PAY ATTENTION!
Of course, during the replay of the first five minutes of this episode, we're treated to Agent Sean's and Vaughn's reactions to what Syd was going through. Like, she enters the room, gets told to put on "the red one," and leaves. And Agent Sean looks at Virtuous Vaughn as he watches it on the monitor, fist clenched against his mouth. "That son of a bitch!" he spits. Agent Sean's all, dude? Easy. EASY. This is a JOB, you know.
