I have no idea.
May. 17th, 2006 09:13 pmTiara Girls is a sick, sick program, but it's on and nothing else is, so why not?
Today I stayed home and hung out and it was rainy and Jen was on Regis and Kelly and they made much of what has to be my mother's and my favorite quote from Regis and Kelly, "She's always running down a hallway! Where is she running to?"
And tonight's episode has Sark. So I guess I should just... be glad Sark's there and not pine after Nadia. Right? Is that what you expect me to do, writers? Because until you autopsy Nadia's body, I ain't believin'. And even if you DO autopsy her body, I STILL won't believe you, because? Doubles. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME, writers.
The title of this episode is "No Hard Feelings."
So, back at APO, Daddy has already heard about Sydney's little adventure and no, he wasn't asked for his opinion, DIXON, his daughter chose on her own, and now they have to trace her. Both Dixon and Marshall are glad to hear from Vaughn. Marshall cried at his funeral. Vaughn's all, Er. I'm sorry? And Marshall's all, no no. I need time to cry every now and then.
Back with Peyton and Syd-As-Anna-As-Syd (SAAAS), Peyton's hair is still flat then curly, and oh, that chip? Not so important! Which is bad, because Peyton ruins a good glass of champagne by plopping the chip in there, and ruining the tracking thing APO had on Syd. Which makes Vaughn FLIP HIS SHIT, because, you know, his girl.
So he goes into UBER handler mode, which... I can't tell you how giddy I was... and gets into a lovely BMW and goes after Syd after they find her throught traffic cameras, and does a BRUSH PASS with her at the airport, and it's all season one! And I love it! Love it!
Back... wherever Sloane is... some guy is asking about what Page 47 says, and Sloane says something about a Rose of Somewhere that only Syd can find, and they'd best hope Anna-as-Syd can do it. And when Syd gets there, the strings of This Is Season One All Over Again, Bitch warble. Oh man. Syd has a lot of hate and a hoodie on her leather jacket. Heh.
And is all thrilled that Syd Bristow is dead. Aw.
So, surprise surprise, Sloane wants to kill SAAAS. Color me shocked.
Um... Marshall figured out that Balthazar is most likely bad but since Rachel and Tom are like, dating, she convinced his inherently good character to wait to tell Jack because she "knows." LIKE YOU KNEW SLOANE? LIKE YOU KNEW DEAN? SHUT UP, RACHEL! And now I'm pretty sure Marshall is going to die.
Back home, Jack is making Isabelle giggle for the first time, which makes Syd sad, 'cause that was a first. Dixon meets up with Vaughn (AIEEEE) and he gives him a baby picture of Isabelle! And it was so cute.
Sloane asks SAAAS about how Syd died, and based on her response, now wants to kill her. Brilliant. Oh, I am ever so concerned. No matter, though, 'cause Dixon and Vaughn are going too. Woot, party in Rome!
ETA: I am obviously dumb because I watched the Syd/Sloane/Peyton scene superficially, but apparently the copy of Page 47 was stained with Nadia's blood. And Syd definitely noticed. And I didn't, because I was like, la la la. Poor Nadia. :-(
What a fucking stupid ass plan.
Anyway, Syd comes out, looking all sassy in this cute little sundress, and there's Vaughn! And it's all Season One, talking at a newsstand, and Syd smells good. He tells her he's seen a picture of Isabelle, so... they need to stop flirting with death. Stat. Syd says they need to end things, then tells him about the plan.
She goes in and lo, her contact is Sark. She beats him up. She's like, taking over Vaughn's role. Yaaaaay Syd!
Back in LA, Balthazar, looking very young, meets up with that murderer guy, and Rachel sees it all. He, of course, has a perfectly logical explanation for it, so Rachel volunteers to help. And it's... SO DUMB. SO DUMB. Like, in a way, I'm glad I care at all, because noobs and whatnot, but on the other hand, I don't care and I kind of feel the way I did when Will was doggedly going after Kate Jones. Like, I know I should care, 'cause I like the people but... I don't. So end the storyline, por favor.
Back in Rome, Sark tells Syd that where they were going, that monastery? It's now a federal prisone! And they have to get in there. So they rob the betting place they're in and explode shit and GET ARRESTED. And Sark speaks nice Italian.
And Vaughn wrinkles his forehead 'cause, shit. What a fucking stupid ass plan.
OMG, that bitch is SO Milo Rambaldi it's not even funny!
Um, to summarize, I have absolutely NO idea what the hell Balthazar and Rachel are doing. None. Like, hotwiring a car or something. The HELL? But Balthazar got over his manly thing and let Rachel do it, at least. Hee.
Um, back in Rome, they're in this nice, pretty prison that looks real mean inside. And Sark's roommate wants him to be his "special friend." But then... Sark pulls out his tooth? And starts choking? Or something? To get into a medical room with a computer so he could break Syd out of her room, because for some reason she's in solitary and he's not. And then to get her down to like, the basement.
Dixon and Vaughn are down in the sewers, and their hacking is screwed up by Sark.
But Syd gets down to... Rambaldi's lair... and is met by who must be Rambaldi himself. Good lord.
So, it's not Rambaldi, it's "the Rose." Or whatever. Proven by a tattoo on his arm. Because that so equals proof. Whatever. He leads her down to find this... amulet... thing... that's like... evil. I have no idea. Greatest gift AND greatest curse. Over which there will be a huge battle. I have NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS. I mean, there's a giant Syd poster that Rambaldi drew back in the day. And Rambaldi SPEAKS to this guy, which means he's either seriously old like the clock guy, or just... crazy. Also, he sounds kind of doomed. And resigned. Because everything is all fate and they're just passengers in the car of life. And Syd's chosen. And oh man, are things looking bad.
Oh, and Balthazar feels bad about his wife dying, because the night she died was their six month anniversary and he like, stood her up. Or something. So they steal a car. Woo hoo.
Meanwhile, Sloane is talking to Italian officials about letting Sark and Syd go, and uses Peyton as this... lady Italian guard person, or something important, to get them out, but when she gets them, she only takes Sark. Back in her cell, Sloane is waiting for Syd, and attacks her with an electric baton. He bitches about Anna being a coward in how she killed Syd, jacks the amulet, and is going to strangle her. While Vaughn watches. Lovely.
That was the best ending sequence EVER.
FIRST: Syd is getting strangled by Sloane, and Dixon and Vaughn and Daddy and Marshall are spazzing out, but they create a distraction, and Sloane leaves and these guards try to manhandle Syd BACK into her cell but she's having none of it and then? Vaughn SHOOTS ONE DEAD and gets her out.
SECOND: Balthazar gives that guy some diamonds and asks the real reason his wife was killed. The guy says if he tells Balthazar, he won't let him leave. Balthazar assures him he will. So the guy says that he was going to kill Balthazar, and he was all prepped and had intel he'd be picking his wife up at work. So when he shot her, it was because he thought it was Balthazar and not Mrs. Grace. Which breaks Balthazar's heart. BUT. The guy gets into the ugly stolen car, and drives away... and then Balthazar BLOWS THAT SHIT UP. Oh my lord. ROCK ON.
THIRD: SYD! AND! VAUGHN! AT HOME! WITH THE BABY! Dear sweet baby Jesus, it was PERFECT! And beautiful. And perfect, did I mention the perfect? And Vaughn says she'll be just like her mom, and Syd says she hopes she'd be a doctor or a teacher, just nothing with a wig. And when Vaughn says "Maybe a pink wig," the baby makes the BEST noise and it's so cute, and Vaughn is so enamoured with that baby, and then he's all, those snores kill me, and it's SO cute and he's holding her hand and oh man oh man. And Syd and Vaughn are too adorable, and Syd starts the old, old Season Two tune of the bad guys still being out there, and Vaughn's like, hi? We defintely promised it would just be US, our little perfect family in bed in the daytime and no WORK, dammit. And then the phone rings and it's SO cute and they're so parental and gom, and when Syd picks up it's Sloane, and he's all, oh, Sydney. I so should've known it was you. You're a survivor, like me. And now, thanks to you, I have everything I need to complete my... life's goal. Which, I think, must be something like eternal life or the holocaust of everyone else in the world, or something. I don't know. All I know is that Sloane has that amber amulet and things aren't lookin' so hot for sanity and the good guys.
In next week's previews, I definitely saw Irina, and people with guns, and, oh yeah, Marshall kidnapped. And that crazy, crazy bitch, Sloane.
And I am going to be so sad when it's over.
But right now... I haven't been this happy about an episode in a long time. Like, I've liked them, but this one? I'm just happy. Maybe because I'm in denial about next week, where, at this time, Alias will be over forever, I will be graduated, and Monica will be here.
Whoa.
