Getty picks up one of those velvet rope dividers and heads off to help Rachel as Syd calmly makes her way down the stairs and out the door, followed closely by Dixon. Rachel comes running around a corner and Getty goes, "Geddown!" He swings the divider into the gut of the following guard and the guy drops like a wet sack of dead chickens. Getty looks down at Rachel and asks if she's okay. "If by 'okay' you mean 'freaked and embarrassed,' then yeah, I'm okay," she says dryly. Heh.
Baby Shop of Sadness. Syd's sitting in a rocking chair, watching a little girl play with dolls. The girl's daddy comes up and puts a cute hat on her and then picks her up and carries her off. Aw. Syd looks hella-sad. The saleslady comes up and asks if Syd's finding everything okay and Syd says she is and that she'll take the rocking chair. The saleslady sees Syd looking sadly at the daddy and daughter and she comments that they get lots of dads in the store these days and that her husband didn't buy as much as a diaper. "Yeah," says Syd, standing up. "My dad wasn't exactly hands-on either." Heh. No shit. The saleslady then asks the totally inappropriate question, "What about your husband? Is he doing his part?" Syd's all, uh, no, thanks, because HE'S DEAD and was shot a bazillion times and THANKS FOR OPENING THAT WOUND and, like, pouring SALT in it, and what if I were a lesbian, huh, and I was having this baby with my life partner and didn't have a HUSBAND and how rude are you anyway? Actually, she just says, "He's been great. Wishes he could do more." But she's totally thinking the other stuff.
Sloane goes to meet with Gordo in the back of some tailor shop and Gordo is less-than-pleased with the fact that Sloane didn't tell him about the Chinese consulate plan. Sloane's like, whatever, dude. You're not the boss of me. You don't need to know every last thing I do. Gordo's like, shut up, shorty. Where's Vak? Sloane's like, the intel was encrypted, homes. I should have an answer for you by the end of the day. Gordo's like, see that you do! Yeah, it's kind of hard to be a badass and lord it over someone when they have you by the short hairs, Gordo.
Apple Store. Syd enters and walks over to Dix and he tells her that they've found Vak. He's in seclusion on an oil rig in the South China Sea while he finishes the software program. Syd's all, fab! How're we going in? Dix is all, uh, "we're" not. Syd's all, the whuh? Who's Jack sending then? Dix is all, uh, well, uh, that's -- Rachel. He's sending Rachel. Syd's flabbergasted. "He's sending her in solo?" she asks. Everybody drink! Syd wants to know why Jack would send Rachel in alone and Dix exposits that shore leave has been suspended for all the crewmembers of the oil rig until Vak finishes the program, but that, every other weekend, Vak is allowed some, how you say, "company."
