Bus Station of Daddy Secrets. Vaughn heads directly over to the storage lockers and opens the appropriate one. Inside is an envelope held closed by some rubber bands. Vaughn opens it and pulls out a little black notebook that apparently belonged to his father. He pages through it, seeing dates and notes scrawled inside. Then he gets to some pages that are dated 1980 and 1981. Looks like Daddy Vaughn didn't "die" in 1979 so much as he "lived" until at least the early eighties.
Angela Bassett's Office of Clipped Syllables. Dix is playing an audio tape of Devereaux and Sloane talking to each other on the phone about stealing the decoder from police custody. They're both gloating and chortling about how they duped the CIA. Devereaux says that it'll be nice to have Sloane back at the table. The call ends and Dix says, "Sloane is reconstructing the Alliance. Unless you require more evidence." Heh. Angie is sufficiently cowed. She asks where the meeting is taking place and he tells her that it's in Brussels. She orders him to set up a mobile surveillance and track Sloane to the meeting. Once he's there, they'll move in. She asks who else knows about this and Dix tells her only Syd and Nadia know. Angie's all, uh, you told his DAUGHTER about this? Dix just says it was necessary to involve her and she's prepared to accept the truth about her daddy. "All right then," says Angie. "Let's do it." Awwww yeah. Bow chicka bow bow --what's that? Oh. She didn't mean "do it" as in "making the beast with two backs"? Sorry. My bad.
Apple Store. Nadia moves toward the screen, hidden behind the same diffused glowy lights that hid her mother back in Season Two. It's a nice touch, actually, reminding us of Lena Olin at a time like this. It's also really, really mean because WE MISS YOU, LENA. Nadia walks into Sloane's office as he's finishing up a phone call. He hands her the scarf she left behind last night and comments that she seemed like she was in a hurry and is everything all right? Sloane detected some tension between her and Sydney. Nadia just says everything's fine, she was just overwhelmed, and she still has to get used to being around family. Sloane's got his bullshit detector on full power right now, and he's totally not buying any of this, but he plays along and tells her that, if she ever needs to talk, his door is always open. She thanks him and turns to leave, but stops when she sees an overnight bag on a chair. "Are you…going somewhere?" she asks. "Yeah," he says. "Just an overnight." "Where to?" she asks, knowing full well what his answer is. "Brussels," he says. Nadia swallows her pain and says, "Have a safe trip." She walks off and Sloane looks after her with daggers in his eyes. What? He totally does. He's naughty.
