Syd gets flippy with Sloane about how Bunny just got out of deep undercover work and doesn't he think it's just a bit too soon for Sloane to send him out again? Especially considering that this is the first time that Syd's had sex in FIVE YEARS? Bunny drips that he volunteered for the assignment. D'oh!
Then we're on a beach somewhere and Syd's wearing a hideous brown vest. Seriously. It's fugly. Syd rightly assumes that Bunny's not going on deep undercover; he's running away from the big bad SD-6. Bunny wants Spy Barbie to join him. She's still stuck on the whole "My Mother Was a Russian Spy and All I Got Was This Bucktoothed Boyfriend" shtick, however, so traipsing off to some remote island with Spitzy Saliva-Pants isn't really an option for her. Spitzy hands her a ticket anyway, because he's a spit-drenched doofus, and tells her that he'll wait a week for her to make up her mind.
Okay, so, you know how Marshall's just inherently funny, even when he's really annoying? Well, now he's sprinting through the halls of SD-6 and, even though we're supposed to totally take this seriously, like something's rotten in the state of Spyhood, it's just so bloody funny watching Marshall's little wrestler legs pumping up and down so furiously. That's good TV, people.
Anyway, Marshall locates Sloane and gasps, "Mr. Sloane! Listen, I know I've been somewhat impressed with myself in the past, but this time I am like FREAKING OUT about my knowledge --" Sloane resignedly rolls his eyes and cuts in with, "Marshall, could you just tell me what --" Marshall gets to the frickin' point and tells Sloane that he managed to recover the data from Spitzy's computer. What's this mean? That's right. Calder. They got him. Oh, and, by the way? This whole scene between Sloane and Marshall? Hee. Hee hee. And, like, hee.
After a commercial break, during which we are forced to watch a trailer for what will most likely be yet another disastrous attempt made by Sandra Bullock to enter into dramatic non-girl-next-door roles, we're back in the Conference Room of Endless Expositions where Sloane's giving Syd and Dix the lowdown on the Calder situation. Syd and Dix are instructed to fly off to Australia and do a daylight snatch-n-grab and bring Calder back to SD-6 for questioning. Right. That is SO not gonna happen.
Sloane asks Dix to leave for a minute. Ew. Creepy. Dix leaves and Uncle Arvin tells Syd that he told her he'd get her closer to her mother. "I'm always here for you," he says. "You know that." Yuck. Oh, and GAH. And yuck again. And, yes, I still think Sloane's hot. You got a problem with that? Take it up with Dr. Fishcakes, okay? It's not like she hasn't heard THAT one before.
