The Weasel goes all Jonestown on Spy Daddy's ass and starts blithering on about how Khasinau can save Spy Daddy and how Khasinau is the future and blah blah blah kill the sniveling little prat already, will ya? Oops. Wow. One second The Weasel's slobbering on and on about how he can save Jack and Jack's all, dude? You exposed my daughter. Prepare to die. And the next second, there's a gunshot, a flash of fire, and an expression on Victor Garber's face that manages to suggest both immense relief and total pain.
Unaware that her daddy's just done him some killing, Syd's hanging out at the train station. Valorous Vaughn shows up. Syd's all, how'd you know I was here? Vaughn's all, honey, you told me once that you go to the observatory when you want to disappear, but the observatory was closed, which led me to believe that you might want to be in a place that was really, really huge and busy and had tons of people around and the sound of trains squealing on the tracks. So, here I am.
Actually, Vaughn ran all over Hell-Lay, searching for Syd at her favorite haunts. Syd's immensely touched that Vaughn remembered everything she's ever said since he's met her. We can tell she's immensely touched because -- say it with me -- she starts crying. Vaughn FINALLY cuts to the chase and states flat-out that Khasinau's contacted her, he wants the page, and she's gonna give it to him. Thanks for that nifty wrap-up, Commander Stupid. Was this really necessary? Aw, hell. Who cares? Julio! JULIO! More TheraFlu! And bring the Vicks Vapo-Rub. Mommy needs some TLC.
"You came here to stop me," whispers Syd. Vaughn launches into an epic tale about his father and his father's diary and his father being too hard on himself and you know what? Dud. DUD DUD DUD. Doesn't matter. The theme of the story is that Vaughn's father never questioned orders and it killed him. "If you're doing what I think you're doing," Vaughn FINALLY finishes, "I'm in." Syd thanks him. And cries.
