Episode Report Card Erin: A | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT The Long Kiss Goodnight

Seriously, the scene is absolutely adorable. Merrin Dungey's confession of the making out is done with the kind of "dude, I can't believe it either" delivery that all of us have at some point performed. And Jennifer Garner's "oh my god" is delivered in this kind of guttural, looking-at-my-cocktail-napkin voice that is SO hilarious. And even Bradley Cooper's bemused and embarrassed exit is dead-on. It's adorable all around.
Speaking of adorable, Batty's hanging in Sloane's office. Some old dude enters and gasps, "You called for me?" Batty says that he's been reviewing Uncle Arvin's work, and he's found an email that struck him as somewhat interesting. "Is SD-6 running a program recording keystrokes at each desktop?" Old Dude is all, yes, as a matter of fact, they are. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, some hot chick in black showed up a few minutes ago and told me to double-check all of Sloane's outgoing emails. She said it was just a matter of "protocol" or some such shit. She was hot, though. Is that important? Batty's all, yes, yes it is. Could you have a seat here and play back what Uncle Arvin was typing? Because if some hot chick in black tells you to check outgoing emails, you listen, right?
Plot Device Diner. Syd and Will exit, and Syd turns to Will. "Literally," she says, "every detail. Now." Will's all, okay, we were in the kitchen and all of a sudden, Foolio was ON MY FACE! Syd's all, okay. Okay. I can't believe this. I'm, like, in SHOCK. Will's all, good shock? Or bad shock? Like, the kind of shock you get when you put on a pair of pants and find twenty bucks in the pocket? Or the kind of shock where you come home early and find your lover in bed with another woman. And another man. And a sea lion? Syd's all, no, good shock! I mean, is this a one-time thing? Like, are you going to kiss and run? Will's all, I don't know! But you know what was really weird? It wasn't weird! Isn't that weird? As they walk down the street, Syd takes Will's arm and says, "I am going to have SO much fun with this!" And so are we, Syd. So are we.
Back at Sloane's office, Batty's watching as Old Dude click-clacks away on the keyboard. "Here we go," he gasps. "This is a playback of Arvin Sloane as he wrote the email in question." As the words appear on the screen, some sections appear and then disappear. Batty's all, wait! Hold the phone! He wrote something and then erased it! Hello! Play it back. And this time, play it back slooooow. Old Dude complies. The erased section shows up slowly, and we see "Jack and Sydney Bristow are double agents." Batty purses his lips a la Jack, and we flip off to commercial land.
Ess Dee Sex. Jack's walking down the hall. He stalks toward The Conference Room Of Endless Expositions, enters, and sits down at a terminal. He's well on his way to code-discovering when Batty enters and says, "Jack Bristow?" in a way that suggests that not only does Batty know just who in the hell Jack Bristow is, but that he's someone to destroy by slathering large amounts of petroleum jelly upon. Oh. Did I give something away there?
