Muck was working as a relief worker at a hospital in Montenegro. The CIA believes that Ice 5 is being secretly developed there by a man named Fintan Keene, a former member of the IRA who claims to have gone legitimate. "Seems to be all the rage among evil geniuses," snits Syd. Hee. Nice one. Sloane just ignores her and states that Fintan runs drugs and arms out of Montenegro, taking advantage of its political instability. The Appleseed Gang is being sent in to obtain a viable sample of Ice 5. Syd's going in as a relief worker, and Sloane wants everyone to understand that this isn't a tactical mission and that their only focus is to get the Ice 5 and get the hell out. The meeting adjourns.
Coffee Corner of Murdering Ex-Husbands. Vaughn's pouring himself a nice hot cup of Guilty Conscience when Jack arrives and sort of sneers, "Something on your mind, Agent Vaughn?" "No, not really," says Vaughn. "Yeah, kind of," says Vaughn's three-day-old stubble and red-rimmed eyes. Jack just takes a long drag off his coffee and stares at Vaughn over the rim of the cup and I just fall out laughing. And then I rewind and play it again. And fall out again. And again. His eyes are just like, "Yeah. Tell it to someone who hasn't killed his ex-wife, dude. Bring it." Vaughn gets the message from Jack's expression and fesses up that he hasn't been sleeping well. "It's [Moronen], isn't it?" asks Jack. Sometimes he sees her, or thinks he sees her, says Vaughn. Well, actually, he definitely thought he saw her in the market in Algeria. "Does that ever happen to you?" Vaughn asks. "Do I ever have visions of [Moronen]?" says Jack. Hee. "I don't know that many men who've killed the woman they were married to," Vaughn snaps with a steely expression, "I was just wondering if that's what happens." Hee hee. "It did," says Jack. "Now it doesn't." Hee hee hee. This whole scene kicked ass. Yay, Jeff Bell! Bring on the Snarky Jack and the Steely Vaughn! Yay!
Ovary Electric. Syd's packing for her trip. She tells Nadia that she's taking the last of the toothpaste and Nadia says it's no prob 'cuz she's going to the store later. Syd says that she's totally excited that she's not the only one going to the store anymore. Yeah, Syd, I used to get excited about that too when I first had roommates. And then they started leaving their dirty bean soup pots on the stove for three days and used my shower scrunchie to wash their pits and that love affair ended pretty damn fast. I imagine you'll go through the same thing, only your problem will be that Nadia rigs your bed to explode and screws your boyfriend while you lie there in little bloody pieces. Or something like that.
