Vaughn tells Syd that her father can't be objective where her mother's concerned. "And you can?" snits Sydney. Vaughn claims that Irina has nothing to gain by lying. Kendall orders Syd to pull the fire alarm. Well, that's the kiss of death, right there. There's nothing that makes Syd NOT do something like a direct order from an asshole. She moves to the fire alarm as the device counts down to the final number. She's about to pull it and then, in the final moment, decides against it. The safe code's been deciphered. She opens the safe door and nothing happens. "See what I mean?" she says.
And that's when the alarm goes off.
Syd gets on the horn to Dixon and tells him that she's triggered an alarm. She asks him what he sees. Dixon tells her that Naj and his bodyguard are on their way up. He goes on to tell her to look for the disk and he'll handle Naj. Dixon overrides the elevator control panel and shuts the elevator down that's carrying Naj up to his room. Syd grabs the disk and her various devices and starts to head out, only to be confronted by a couple of guards. Guess what she does next? If you answered "kicks some guard ASS," you win a brand-new set of Space Bags. Complete with the extra set of Travel Bags!
Syd informs the CIA that she has the disk and is heading out. She starts walking down the hallway and sees her contact Schmidt coming toward her. They both smile at each other, and he holds out his hand. Syd's getting ready to hand over the disk when Dixon barrels in between them, interrupting the transfer. Schmidt just turns and walks up some stairs. Dixon asks if Syd has the disk, she answers in the affirmative, and they exit.
Kendall asks Schmidt if he got the disk. Nope. Syd and Dixon leave an elevator, and Syd hands over the disk as Dixon congratulates her on a job well done. Syd just looks after him like she's failed miserably and it's all her mother's fault!
Hell-Lay. Sloane's talking to Alain at the Alliance, telling him that SD-6 now has the blackmail disk. Sloane goes on to say something about a man named Peter Fjordson. I'm assuming the Nordic spelling because, well, because of what happens later in this episode, okay? Like, you all KNOW I don't watch this and recap it at the same time, right? Like, NONE of this is a surprise, right? You do know that, don't you? Sorry if I've burst your proverbial bubbles…anyway, apparently there are some rather, shall we say, disreputable photos on the disk. No, not of Fjordson. They're of his daughter, and judging by the rather smarmy expression on Sloane's face, they're pretty damn depraved. I don't know about you, but I'm thinking farm animals and a can of Silly String. Sloane tells Alain that he's leaving for Helsinki tonight because he wants to deal with Fjordson himself.
