Uncle Arvin's Office of Underhand Tactics and Meddlesome Methods. Some random agent hands Sloane a file on Bunny. Sloane looks it over as the Ominous Music of Good Agents Gone Bad plays. Did anyone else out there even DOUBT that Bunny was a bad egg? Didn't think so. Sloane instructs the random agent to tell McCullogh (the Spy Inquisitor) that Sloane needs to see him, and not to let Bunny leave the building.
Elsewhere in the building, Syd drops in on Spy Daddy. Syd hesitatingly asks Spy Daddy about his therapy. Spy Daddy cuts her off, telling her that he took care of it. Syd changes tack and mentions something about Marshall unlocking the core computer. Once again, Spy Daddy cuts her off, spitting out something about how, if he'd been consulted about her last mission, he wouldn't have let her go. He goes on to say that the information recovered from the core computer revealed nothing about Kasineau's whereabouts, operations, plans, or cache of Rambaldi artifacts.
Syd's not giving up that easily. She mentions that she saw some files on her mother. Spy Daddy's all, yup, we saw that. We also recovered some useless archival video footage of yer mom that was taken AFTER she was supposedly dead. Wanna see it? Syd's all, hey, unless it's porn, I'm not really all that interested. Spy Daddy storms out after announcing that, since the core computer didn't have anything helpful in the Kasineau situation, the entire operation was a useless risk. Spy Barbie just stares at the floor in a futile attempt to locate the central plot line of this episode.
Yet elsewhere in the building, Bunny's hanging out at his desk, which just happens to be opposite Dixon's desk. The chill in the air you feel isn't the overly efficient A/C. Bunny tries to open the lines of communication with Dix but Dix ain't having any of it. He blatantly tells Bunny that he doesn't trust him, which kinda sucks considering that, since they're in the spy business, if Bunny sticks around, one day their lives will be in each other's hands. "And in that scenario," finishes Dixon, "the only person truly safe will be you." Awww yeah. Dixon's gettin' commando on Bunny's ass. Love it.
Just then, a couple of badass agents walk up and ask Bunny to come with them. Bunny goes off and winds up back in the Spy Inquisition Chamber. The same crusty old foreign guy is questioning Bunny about his suspicious money operations. Blah blah blah, what's with the accounts? Bling blam blooey, dunno what yer talking about. La la la lamppost, that's NOT the answer I was looking for.
