and here is season four...going back to basics according to the producers...what is more basic than dressing up as a sexy swedish blonde to entice a hapless scientist?
That is what Syd is doing on a train when we meet her...dressed in revealing lingerie she grabs his....unstable isotope and makes a dash through the train...unfortunalty the sh*t hits the fan and Syd battles a random thug, which unfortunalty ends with her dangling out the train with the netting she clings too...breaking away...and OH MY GOD its 72 HOURS EARLIER!!!!! DUH DUH DUH....Has syd fallen into a mysterious time travelling void beside the train???
No...its old school Alias magic...and we are in Shanghai and here comes Hurricane Syd...chasing a man and being chased by random men.
Hurricane Syd is running through the street, magically shouting at the tops of her lungs at the same time as running as fast as an olympic runner...must be the magic of that train time travelling void she was dangling over a few minutes ago...
Hurricane Syd and Man run into a club to hide from random men. We hear how the mission has gone wrong and Man is slightly pissed off with Syd, Hurricane (andsuprisinglynotoutofbreath) Syd breaks protacal and contacts their contact...only to hear him be shot....bummer...
proving she is still a good spy Hurricane Sydney quickly disgusies her co-spy with some handy window lead and pierces his ear (ouchies!!)...she then borrows a ladies' clothes in exchange for her relief of obvious toliet issues
Back in LA Hurricane Syd has been forced to be a lesser Tropical Storm Syd by Director Chase for f*cking up the mission...her co-spy looks smug...before Tropical Storm Syd is demoted she quits!
Vaughn is gaining a female audienceworking out his inner anger and tells Weiss he quit the CIA...Weiss informs him Syd and Jack quit too! OMFG COINCIDENCE!!!
Meanwhile Sydney is the new poster girl for the undergroundsorry subway and enters a secret facility with a handy sign saying 'spys only'. Behind that door she remeets Director Chase who congratulates her on her stellar performance at the hearing!!! It was all made up!
Anyways...Syd tells Chase how she wants a challenge and a fresh start away from 'personal' complications....Chase tells her this will be a challenge and brings her into a room with Dixon, Jack and Vaughn!!!! Oops! Of course they were hand picked by someone who knows them...Syd turns round and its SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOAAAAANNNNNEEEE!!!!! OMGOMGWESOKNEWTHATWASGONNAHAPPEN!!!
And here is Hurricane Syd again...cept this is Irrate Hurricane Syd who is furious at Sloane's appointment. Sloane tells the new gang (aka APO) about some guy with an unstable isotope on a Train
Vaughn comes round to Syd's and she totally blows him off (omg SOOOOO not in that way!!!)
Back to present time (Syd had been hanging over that great time travelling vortex for a little too long!) and we get to see what really happened on that train...in full and colour (not that the previous verison wasn't in colour)
Anyways...Syd is once again hanging over the time-travelling Vortex (which ironically this time has a hyphen between time and travelling) but Reject!Vaughn takes out the guy and saves Hurricane Syd...they do their best impressions of Eskimo's and that crazy Hurricane blows straight to the Bedroom and Syd forgets her whole moralistic 'lets take it slow' speech earlier...must be all that time-travelling that makes her forget stuff....
After the sex NotReject!Vaughn gets curous and asks Hurricane Syd what she found in that safety deposit box....obviously the time-travelling hasn't worn off and we travel back a couple of months to see Syd all sad after reading whatever the hell is in that document...
