3x18: "Unveiled"
Eeeeee!
I liked the episode, a bit slow but it did accomplish a lot. The ending was action-packed and I guess, to me at least, the episode had a "funny feel" to it.
Well, we start with Syd's bangs brushed to the side which I like much better. But then get this. When Syd/Vaughn go to Marshall for the op-tech, oop! The bangs come outta nowhere and are there to stay for the rest of the episode. Hello.
I kinda forgot that Sloane was going to be executed by lethal injection. Just a minor detail, right? Dixon was being the big kahuna and laying it down for Sloane. I liked how Sloane responded to Dixon: "Oh, you make it very clear." Cracked me up. And then the Dixon smirk? I kind of get that and then don't. It got creepy.
Weiss, my best bud. "Let me ask you this: do you think she's the mole or do you want her to be the mole?" That got Syd thinking.
Aww, Marshall. Those sunglasses were super-swank. "Does a cowboy leave his gun at home when he goes to the saloon?" Teehee.
GOTH! I LOVE THE GOTHNESS. The party freaked me out (who knew Berlin could be this wild!) but I LOVED SYD'S DISGUISE. I loved the wig, the dark make-up, and everything! And then there was Vaughn. I was ROLLING IN THE AISLES. The lip ring and the nose ring! Hahaha! It was so great. And when they sat down on the couch? Vaughn was so laidback and just like "yooooo, man." Hey, that Cipher dude was pretty cute too. Shame he died. But THE GOTHNESS. Eeee!
Anyway, Syd chases the shooter who happens to be Lauren donning a short red-black bob. Lauren turns around for an instant and Syd sees. But just to make sure, Syd keeps going after her to only find more short red-black bobbed girls. Which leads us to what? Syd/Vaughn drama at the CIA safehouse in Berlin. Obviously, Vaughn refuses to accept this but then oh! Surprise! Lauren decides to show up because she was upset. Oh I see. Your excuse for wanting to see Vaughn at the most unexpected places. Of course, Syd being the smart one dials up to make sure Lauren checks out and she does. Like we didn't know that. But ah, sneaky Lauren places the coffee mug right next to the computer and BAM! The files are wiped. I'm pretty sure Syd saw it, but she's just not sure. Two spies being sneaky-sneaky. It's almost thrilling.
Hey look. Vaughn in the shooting range. It was heartbreaking when Jack told Vaughn about his marriage with Irina. But man almighty! Vaughn shot him down like no other! He was like "what 'choo gonna do about that, bee-otch?!" Yeah, that was fun. Props to Vaughn for standing up for himself even though he's gonna end up kicking himself for doing it.
Sark said Lauren will be "eliminated." That made me happy. 'Course we know that won't happen because Sark saves her from Bomani by shooting him. Oh well. Djimon is gone. But we know Sark loves Lauren.
Vaughn following Lauren totally made my day. He looked confused, concerned, and crafty at the same time. It felt like one of those comedy movies with the funny music playing the background, if you catch my drift. OH! Like Santana from "La Catrina" almost. Just not as obvious. Anyhoo, the tailing was fun to watch. Drop #1 is...just a list of things to do. Drop #2...never makes it because she's interrupted by Sark's phone call. Here it seemed like Sark was going to kill her in the parking garage (would've been nice) but she flipped a shit and high-tailed it outta there. Meanwhile Vaughn + Weiss trace the phone call and end up only catching the last bit.
Lunch and Vaughn asks questions about her errands. He's thinking 'bout what Jack said. Beneath that anger is curiosity. And we know curiosity killed the cat.
Oh yeah, Marshall's hacker name is Black Kitty. I had the longest laugh over that.
Milan: Lauren gets there first. I had hope for that doctor dude. He like outran Lauren for a bit with throwing the vase and getting into his secret room. But then Lauren got in and started torturing him like no other. Enter Syd/Vaughn. Enter Rambaldi team. Enter Syd kicking some major ass! (kicking the globe? kickass!) Enter Vaughn on the verge of finding out. Enter the doctor dude shitting his pants when he sees Syd. Enter Vaughn killing the doctor dude. What did we learn? Not much really.
Oh man oh man. Dixon tells Jack about the Sloane/Irina affair. Pissed him off, huh? Sloane's gonna diiiiieee. Syd comes to tell Jack that the doctor shit his pants when he saw her and that the doctor was protecting her from The Passenger. Language lesson, kids! "Peace" traced back to its Greek/Latin roots is "irine." GASP. Irina is The Passenger. Lena Olin, get back here! SpyMommy needs to make an appearance.
Thee best part of the 'sode: Vaughn finding The Wig + other things in Lauren's wonderful green suitcase. Yep. Your wife is a traitor. What are you gonna do about that, man? You are Jack. She is Irina. Hate to say it, but "I told you so." I wonder what's gonna happen next. Will Lauren still be in the bath or will she be right next Vaughn with a gun pointed at him? I think he's gonna shove everything back where it was and pretend nothing happened. I think he's gonna call Syd or Jack to tell them "you were right." Sorry mate.
Actually, I change my mind. I liked this episode a lot; it was great.
Next episode: Vengeance has never been so good.
