Episode Report Card Erin: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Darkness Falls
By Erin | Season 2 | Episode 17 | Aired on 03.01.2003
Then we're in some room somewhere and some Chinese dude -- I'm thinking it's Chang -- is blathering on about an inspection team and chemicals or something. Irina snaps a microphone to his lapel as Jack sets up a video camera. I have no idea what's going on. Irina nods at Jack, he hits a button on the camera, some stuff shoots out of the microphone, and Chang goes out like a light. Jack then dismantles the camera, pulling out a gun, and Irina grabs a card out of Chang's jacket. Don't even get me started on how she knew exactly where to look; this whole scene makes no sense to me. But oh, how I love seeing Jack and Irina in action together.
They make their way to the room with the Rambaldi manuscript, and Irina looks at it like it's a big juicy t-bone and she's been a vegan for thirty fucking years. Jack pulls out a fountain pen with some glass-cutting acid in it, spins a circle on the top of the glass case, and removes the circle. Irina lifts the book out, practically drooling all over it. Jack sees this, notes it, and then gruffs, "Let's go." They head out.
Oops Center. Vaughn's sitting at his desk, futzing with some papers, as Syd watches from her desk. He doesn't seem to be doing anything remarkably suspicious, but her expression suggests that she thinks he is. She gets up and sees him take a small envelope out of a folder and put it in his inside jacket pocket. He turns, sees her watching him, and smiles. She goes over to him and he asks if she's talked to Will because he was a little freaked this morning. "What was that?" Syd asks, referring to whatever Vaughn put in his pocket. "Oh," he says dismissively, "just work stuff." "Come here," Syd whispers, walking off. Vaughn, thinking they're about to have a little one-on-one in The Conference Room Of Endless Expositions, eagerly follows.
Unfortunately, Syd just walks about ten feet away, turns, and asks, "Are you keeping secrets from me?" Vaughn's all, WHAT? Syd's all, answer the question, Clutch Cargo. Vaughn's all, well, yeah, of course! We just started dating! I always keep tons of secrets from people I've just started dating. Me too, Vaughn. But I always feel it best to wait til after the seventh or eighth date to reveal that I'm the child of circus carnies.
Syd's all, I'm not talking about us, you freaknut! Vaughn's all, what, you mean work? Yeah. There's certain shit I'm not allowed to talk to you about. Syd's all, and that's it? Vaughn's all, okay, sister, here's the thing. I really don't like it when people question my loyalty. It makes me INSANE. Oh, you're already insane, sweetheart. But you're cute, so we'll let it pass. Syd's all, who said anything about loyalty, you drama queen! Vaughn's all, well, when you ask me about keeping secrets, the subtext's pretty damn clear. Syd's all, okay, I've about had it with you and your conclusion jumping. "Secrets will be a problem between us," she says indignantly. "After everything we've been through, you should know that." Vaughn just glares at her, shakes his head, and then reaches into his pocket for the envelope. "This is the key to my apartment," he says in a wounded and angry tone. "I was going to give it to you tonight over dinner. Obviously, an inappropriate move." Syd's all, oh. Oh! Well, that's an entirely different story! That's okay! You can give me the key! Gimme the key! I want it! I WANT IT! Too late, Syd. You lose. And Vaughn's got a meeting with Dr. Nancy, so you'll just have to stew in it for a while.
