It could and it does. Sydney looks totally grossed out by this realization as her mother asks about the shoulder wound. Considering that Sydney just wore a spaghetti-strap slip in Rabat without any visible indication that she'd been wounded, like, EVER, I'd say the shoulder's fine. Syd's not falling for the Mommy-bait, however, and just asks again about the disk. "Peter Fjordson," states Irina. Syd's all, who? What? The hell? Irina goes on to explain that Peter has a file on the disk and that he's the man SD-6 will go after first. "Why?" asks Sydney. "One step at a time," says Irina. Okay, enough. ENOUGH. Enough with the Lecter-isms, okay? What is this? "Quid pro quo?" "I need to know why," snaps Syd. "No, you want to know why. There's a difference," says Irina. "Go after Fjordson. Trust me."
Oh-ho-ho! TRUST HER? Dude. I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. And with my bad back, I shouldn't be throwing anyone. Syd seems to feel the same way, because she asks Irina why she should trust her. "Because I'm your mother," says Irina. That's it. That's enough for Sydney. And really, who can blame her? In approximately two seconds, Jennifer Garner shows us that Syd's about to hurl right there on the glass separating her from her birth mother.
As quickly as the steel bars can go up, Syd gets the hell out of there. As soon as she's out of the lockdown facility, she breaks. She's crying, but she's trying so hard not to let it out that she's thisclose to spewing all over the nice granite floors. Before we can see that, however, we go to a commercial for a car.
When we return, Syd's getting the lowdown on Fjordson. Okay, so here's what we know about him: he makes doodads. Expensive, ultra-technical, out-of-this-world doodads, but doodads nonetheless. He has this camera that he made that can do serious damage when it's attached to a satellite or some such shit. I don't know what the hell they're talking about. This camera can see into NORAD undetected or something. Fjordson faked production problems so that he could give the camera to Spy Mommy and erase whatever embarrassing information she held on him. Where does SD-6 enter into all this? I'm so glad you asked. With Spy Mommy out of the picture, SD-6 wanted the disk so they could commence with the Fjordson blackmail procedure. So it's now up to Vaughn and Sydney to jet off to Helsinki to get the camera. Yay! Spy Barbie and Action!Vaughn on a mission together! Wheeee!
Helsinki, City Of Icy Cool Decorating Schemes And Smokin' Hot Men. I'm not kidding. Did you even SEE the Olympics last year? Those Nordic men are scarily attractive. And they're all so fucking HAPPY. It's alarming. I turned off all the lights and their smiles provided more wattage than a spotlight. Mmmm…Norsemen…
