And we're back with Vitriolic Vaughn. Oh, lose this storyline already. Vaughn's still trying to save his ass, The Weasel still doesn't buy it, Devlin's fairly cheesed off that Sydney's possibly hiding something from the CIA, and there are many, many moments of angry and silent staring. Many. Did I mention the many moments of staring? Captain Non-Courageous finally fesses up that, yes, he believes Syd's hiding something from the CIA, and it probably has something to do with her and Spy Daddy running Rambo after Willage.
Back in the X-Files storage facility, Spy Daddy removes the ampoule from its hiding place and shoves it in his pocket, next to his pearl-handled switchblade and his house seats to Siegfried and Roy. Next thing we know, Devlin's on the phone to the chick who just let Spy Daddy into the storage facility. He wants her to keep Spy Daddy there, but he's a day late and a dollar short -- Spy Daddy just hit the bricks.
Having completed her page retrieval mission, Syd's shaking out her wet locks on the dock, proud that she's managed to keep her make-up perfect even though she was underwater. Dixon meanders up to say hey. He mentions the whole bluebird/freelancer call sign situation. Dix gets more and more upset as he tells her that he tried to make excuses for her in his head, but he doesn't really believe any of them. Syd finally gets up and walks over to him.
"Who are you working for?" asks Dix. "And do NOT play games with me." Syd, her tear ducts primed and ready for the upcoming sobfest, says that she would never hurt him and that she would never do anything to jeopardize what they believe in. Dixon's all, shut up, bitch! What truth you actually tell couldn't fill a fucking thimble, okay? Syd's all, I'm crying! Oh, and just accept the fact that I can't tell you what all this is about. Like, it's classified. Oh, and I'm crying. See? Tears?
Syd says something about not betraying their country or some such shit. Dixon's all, save the poetry, sweetheart. I'd pretty much just like a reason NOT to report your two-timing ass to security section. Syd's all, sob! Sob sob sob! Sobbing! There is sobbing over here!
Devlin's Office Of Characters Who Make Only Occasional Appearances And Proceed To Drive The Pace Of The Show Directly Into The Dirt. Devlin's phone rings. It's Jack. Devlin's all, dude! What in the HELL do you think you're doing? Spy Daddy's all, I'm saving someone's life, dude. Devlin's all, how is stealing the CIA's shit gonna save ANYONE'S life? Huh? Riddle me that, Batman. Spy Daddy's all, dude, don't worry. You'll get the bottle of goo and a copy of the page, okay? Don't get your knickers in a twist.
