Episode Report Card Erin: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Double Your Francie, Double Your Fun

Sloane yammers on about Rambaldi and how he thought Rambaldi's work was a window to the past. "Today," he smirks, "I am one move away from proving to you that it is so much more than that. And this time, Sydney won't be a pawn in our venture. Jack, sit here for awhile and think about it." Jack's all, yeah. Whatever, freakshow. Go off and build your Rambaldi shit. I don't care. You're still short. And we'll never work together again.
Sloane's all, oh, but we will, Jack. But we will. Before busting into his impersonation of Dr. Evil, Sloane tells Jack that if he makes a move or dials his cell within thirty minutes, the snipers will put a bullet in his brain. Ron Rifkin's got that "I know the secrets of the universe" vibe down pat. He tosses on his sunglasses and saunters off, leaving Jack to wonder just how short Sloane is and, if warranted, how much shorter Jack could make him by, say, cutting off his legs.
Marseilles. Again. Not so much with the funny. ONE WHOLE OTHER RECAP TO GO, PEOPLE. Make up your own funny, okay? Syd and her Boys of Company Boom Chicka Boom Chicka Boom Boom Boom are hanging somewhere down by the docks. Or something. I have no idea. Syd's sporting the black knit cap again, so we know we're in for some ass-kicking and bungled spy maneuvers.
Syd blah blahs something about the chief of security holding a kill switch that can destroy all the data stored on the server in one fell swoop. Syd's going to bust a move and secure the kill switch so no data can be lost. Vaughn lamely announces that, as soon as Syd confirms she has the kill switch, the Boys should move in and consider everyone hostile. Does that include that ugly-ass shirt you're wearing, Vaughn? Dammit. How come he never gets good field costumes like Syd?
After telling the Boys that they'll upload the clone info to the CIA after securing the place, Syd shakes a bottle of champagne, uncorks it, and sprays it all over Vaughn. Hee. It's stupid, yeah, but it's funny. Vaughn looks at her all, dude. You're ENJOYING this. Syd just grins at him all, you bet your ASS I am.
Next thing we know, we're watching as a car careens up to a chain link fence. We get a glimpse of the chief of security watching the action on his monitors, the kill switch conveniently wrapped around his wrist. Back outside, a very drunk Vaughn stumbles out of the car and approaches the security guards. As he distracts the guards, Syd does some shit in the background, breaking into the facility. "I love you, man!" Vaughn drunkenly exclaims. Hee. After the guards shove him off, Vaughn goes, "Why're you so grumpy, man?" More hee.
