Episode Report Card Erin: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Who's a Bad Mama Jamma?
By Erin | Season 2 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.28.2002
Well, I guess Mama Bristow isn't about to win any "Mother of the Year" awards. Syd seems to think as much because she gets rather uppity with her mother. But, see, the only problem with this is that when you get uppity with Spy Mommy, you don't get your Shaun Cassidy albums taken away. You get shot. Spy Mommy asks Syd to spill the beans on who sent her. "Or what?" snips Syd. "I'm grounded?" Hee. Spy Mommy's not laughing, however. Bang!
Wendy Kroy: Okay, THAT was fantastic.
Regina: No argument here.
Wendy Kroy: My favorite line of the show. Hands down.
Regina: I might just have to agree with you.
Wendy Kroy: More vodka?
Regina: You need to ask?
Syd's down for the count, bleeding out her hole (heh heh) and wah-wahing about it. Spy Mommy stalks up on her three-inch heels and orders her daughter to think about it and she'll come on back and check on her in a bit. Oh, and does she want anything? You know, like milk and cookies? Or plasma? Spy Mommy hoofs it and Syd continues boo-hooing.
And now for something completely annoying.
Yes, Dr. Nancy's back. And she's leading us on a journey of self-discovery and tedious repetition. For our convenience and my sanity, I will heretofore refer to all useless regurgitation portions of this show as a DR. NANCY MOMENT IN WHICH WE DEAL WITH ____________. The blank will be filled in by whatever topic we already know everything about, i.e. Willage getting 'napped and beaten up. Okay? Okay.
So Syd's in Dr. Nancy's office, her arm all bandaged up. Or didn't you think that Syd made it out of Mommy's clutches? Dudes, it's called Alias, not Spy Mommy. So Dr. Nancy's trying to get all psychoanalytical on Syd's behind but Syd's more concerned with the search for Vaughn. The search for Vaughn that SHE wasn't invited to. She's all squirrelly about it and Dr. Nancy just wants to know how Syd escaped from Spy Mommy. Niiiiice, Dr. Nancy. Syd's just ripe for a little Freudian exploration and you're all, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about the ass-kicking?!"
Wendy Kroy: Yeah. What ABOUT the ass-kicking?
Regina: It's coming.
Wendy Kroy: I'm bored.
Regina: Just drink more.
Wendy Kroy: That'll make it less boring?
Regina: No. But it'll make your vision all blurry which will certainly make it LOOK more interesting.
