The New-Fangled Ovary Electric. As Sarah McLachlan warbles over a product-placed iPod, we watch as Sydney packs for the upcoming mission. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Syd's post-fire apartment is effin' COOL and I want it for my very own. This is why I must be very, very rich very, very soon. Do you think I'd get any money for one of my kidneys? How about both? Ponder that and get back to me.
So, we spend a solid minute trailing Syd around her gorgeous apartment, then the doorbell rings. Syd answers it and Vaughn's there. He apologizes for dropping by, she says it's okay, and an awkward moment follows. "I miss you," says Vaughn. "I wanted to say that I miss you." "I miss you too," says Sydney. "I didn't realize how boring Ben Affleck was." Score! Point! Thank you! I'll be here all night. No. She doesn't say that. Basically, we learn through some nice, natural dialogue that Syd has pretty much been avoiding Vaughn because she was afraid that they'd jump right back into the relationship pool they'd been drowning in before Syd went on that two-year walkabout. Syd thinks they can't just start up where they left off and pretend that those years didn't happen. "Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it?" says Vaughn. The entire viewing audience screams, "HELL, YES, IT WOULD! AND COULD YOU ERASE THE CHARACTER OF 'LAUREN' WHILE YOU'RE AT IT? THANKS!"
