So Satan Vaughn just stares at Sydney until she says, "Vaughn?" Satan Vaughn asks Sydney what's going on. She sits back, her highlights glinting in the fluorescent lighting, and says, "What do you mean?" Satan Vaughn apparently isn't pleased with this answer, because he visits Agent Sean after talking to Sydney and unloads a whole new truckload of lurve-induced bullshit on him.
Agent Amorous tells Agent Sean that, even though he hasn't known Sydney long, he's known her long enough to know that she doesn't just accept problems; she tries to fix 'em. Thank God. A girl after my own heart. Like, me setting up the PS2? Wedge asked me if I need help. Hello? I single-handedly gutted my computer, reinstalled a video card, installed a CD-R, and warped my DSL so it's faster than any other DSL on this block, okay? Yeah. I need your help. I need your help like I need a Dijon mustard enema, okay? I set up the PS2 in under five minutes flat, even though I had to put it through an RF modulator, and I was playing Tricky ten minutes later. I think I can handle it, dude.
Right. So, uh, Agent Sean posits the question that Syd may try to get Willage out on her own. Agent Amorous thinks she may. Agent Sean wants to know why she wouldn't tell her non-boyfriend about her plans. Agent Amorous mentions the whole safe-house debacle wherein her best friend was kidnapped -- meaning, really, what in the HELL is there to trust about the CIA? "Trust is a tricky thing," says Agent Sean, making me believe that not only does J.J. Abrams have a camera situated somewhere in my house, but that Greg Grunberg is watching the surveillance tapes religiously. Tricky, dude! TRICKY!
Heh. Julio! More Sudafed please! And bring Mommy the Robitussin and vodka cocktail! Mommy likes mixing!
So, like, Suspicious Satan Vaughn doesn't like this "trust is a tricky thing" response from Agent Sean. He asks him, "What the hell does that mean?" Agent Sean deftly deflects the question and tells Vaughn that he should tell Devlin (Devil = Devlin; is someone trying to send me a message?) about his Syd suspicions. Vaughn's not digging what Sean's trying to tell him. They argue about how Vaughn's concern for Sydney often clouds his judgement. Agent Weasel appears to put an end to this extraneous exchange.
