One down, one to go In Part One of this series finale two-parter, we follow Sloane's actions as he kidnaps Marshall and Rachel, travels to an ice chamber below Mount Subasio, and discovers just what Rambaldi meant by "sky" in his prophecy. In case you were wondering, it has nothing to do with that stuff up above your head with fluffy clouds rolling around in it. Oh, and Sydney falls down a crevasse and is dead. Yeah, because you haven't SEEN the next episode. |

Sydney The Destructor
The Prophecy - Remember that page with Sydney's face on it? Well, that's not ALL that's on it, apparently. Syd's got the goods that prove her to be some sort of prophesized destructor of the planet or something. She tries to clear her name by breaking into the Vatican, but God's not fond of people who burglarize his places of worship so, you know, she's screwed. There's some miniature side plot about "The Man" and how Sloane wants him dead but, really, we're all too interested in how J. J. Abrams is suddenly turning into Chris Carter over here. |

When Good Sketches Go Bad
Page 47 - Syd nabs the Rambaldi manuscript right out from underneath Ewan Deux's snout, Lois Lame gets his sorry snooping ass kidnapped, Vaughn tells Sydney she's real purty, and Amy Irving makes an appearance as Sloane's long-suffering wife. In other news, the CIA drips that perfume crap from the SD-6 vault all over the infamous Page 47 and reveals a billion-year-old sketch of Sydney's angelic visage. Regina calls out for Thai food and a lobotomy. |

Will just waffles around, debating whether or not he should pursue this SD-6 story that he's so curious about. Will? Shut up and go buy a comb, okay? |

Doppelganger
Doppelganger - Sydney and Vaughn screw up a lot. They switch renegade scientists and get the fake to SD-6, only to forget to supply him with key information. Then Sydney sends Spy Daddy in to feed the info to him. Also, Dixon stumbles across Sydney's double-agenthood so many times he practically spends the whole episode picking himself up. Sloane is scary. |
