Nadia Santos- Favourite Moments
3x20 Blood Ties- First appearance
Sydney finds the great mysterious end-of-the-world Rambaldi mystery girl in one Thalia Kolzhov (is that the spelling?) who, as it turns out just happens to be catatonic. Convinent.
And after a long speech about how they are in fact sisters bla bla and share the same evil spy!mommy blabla, Syd rescues Thalia by scooting her away in a wheelchair...
But she's compromised while she's performing her aerobic gymnastics skills...
and lo and behold, Thalia is not catatonic at all, but is actually another spy! or a supernatural creature. She helps Syd out aaanndd
the two escape, with Syd trying not to show her feelings, which are "Damn, spy sis you sure are heavy!" We find out Thalia's real name is Nadia.
3x21 Legacy- Getting back at her evil spydaddy
Nadia's been captured by her loving, caring daddy, Sloane, and is nagging for more candy begging for him to stop injecting her with green gooness. Fat chance, oh mighty Passenger.
Sloane gives a disturbing evil smik and starts rambling on about sacrifices and Abraham and angels and other jango from the bible. Holy words from possibly the most unholy man alive
.
But while he is rambling on and on and admiring his wisdomisity on all things mysterious, Super Nadia breaks looose and stabs him with a syringe.
She then lets loose and starts destroying all the green goo
and makes a big mess on the carpet.
4x02 APO pt.2 -Operation rescue Spy!sis
Syd smartly gets captured by Tomazaki and is being tortured. Looks like the spy!team needs a little assistance from...
Nadia who's looking as gorgeous as ever and parading around in her sexy top and skirt in...a butchers.
Using her prettiness and some tranq lips from Marshall, Nadia knocks out one of Tomazaki's henchmen and snaps up a keycard to get access to Syd's torture chamber.
And mission completed! =)
4x02 APO pt.2- The start of Neiss
So Weiss is leaving, and he meets Nadia at the door, and he's like woah and she's like hey and Syd gives a meaningful look and Weiss scampers off after giving Nadia big hints that he's single.
4x03 The Awful Truth- How to piss off spy!daddy
So Nadia's joined APO, and Jack uses his chance to debrief her to see how screwed he would be if he told her the truth about who killed Irina.
Very screwed, as it turns out, as Nadia has some smart, snappy retorts to his questions, proving her just as headfast, strong willed and stubborn as her sister. ("Why is my partner a man?") This girl kicks ass!
4x04 Ice- Jack and Nadia bondning time
Nadia asks Jack about a picture she found Irina holding a spy!baby. As usual Jack goes all robot at the mention of Irina but in the end softens and they have a nice heart to heart, in which he reveals he proposed to Irina after he saw this pic. So if Irina had never had an affair with Sloane, Jack may never have proposed? o_o
4x07 Detente- Spy!sis bonding time
Some sisters go shopping, some go to spas and some get manicures together. Nadia and Sydney have fuzzy sister bonding with target practice at the shooting range.
4x07 Detente-Girls just wanna have fun
After the mission to get Tambor into custody, Syd and Nadia think of an alternative way to get in...
involving bitching, alcohol and expensive perfume.
Nadia's all "SHUT UP! You own the SLOVAK DEVILS OMGS?!" in her best squealy fangirl voice, while cloning Tambor's PDA under the magazine.
They also manage Tambor's hard drive which is conviniently sitting right in front of them.
But Tambor finds out his PDA is missing and is all "GUARDS! CHECK THESE SUSPICIOUS GIRLS!" and Nadia's all "Is THIS what you're FREAKING OUT ABOUT?!" and the two storm off in a huffy puff.
And it's all smirks for the sisters as they leave the mission with success.
4x10 The Index- Not her idea of a birthday present...
Syd and Dixon were convinced Sloane was back to evil mode again, so Sydney invited himself to his house and tapped the phone wire. But just as she's getting up she's caught by Nadia, who doesn't look very happy at all, no she doesn't precious.
4x10 The Index- You mess with a Bristow, you mess with a Santos
Thanks to Dixon and Syd's ingenious swap of the blackwell index, Jack is trapped by ex Alliance baddies and is about to be tortured when Nadia blasts through the door in a super swank car.
And in a very super!spy way she guns down the baddies and saves our spy!daddy from peril.
And Nadia's all, well Syd I rescued your dad, so you have to rescue my dad if he's ever in trouble, even though you think he is a psychomaniac sadist.
And Syd instantly regrets ever having met the spawn of Sloane spy!sis because now she actually might have to save Sloane's life one day.eek! Spy!sisters are nothing but trouble.
4x12 The Orphan- Kicking butt before she even was recruited
Even before she was a spy, Nadia kicked the baddies' asses when some of them came to take some kids from the orphanage.
4x12 The Orphan- She's a rebel
In an annoyingly frequent series of flashbacks (is this Alias or Lost?), we see young, rebellious Nadia robbing a till
Then threatening the shop keeper with...a water pistol.
4x12 The Orphan- Wicked pasts save lives
That horrendous wig is tainting my eyes. Die!
Syd's all, oh shit.
Then Nadia comes in to meet the baddie, saying Syd is working with her, and gets them out of trouble.
Turns out the baddie was one of the bad guys from her troubled past.
4x16 Another Mr Sloane- Neiss love
Weiss: This place is a killer;we have to get married here.
Nadia: What? You haven't even proposed yet!
And as usual JJ raises our hopes for a happy ending for the cutest couple in the spy!world, and breaks it off, leaving us deflated in our wasted hopes. Because this is Alias, and true happiness for couples is not allowed unless it is the series finale.
4x19 In Dreams- Nadia brings Sloanedaddy back to reality
Sloane's being hypnotised and Nadia has to get him out of his happy trance...
But Sloane's all, "No! I'm a monster and there's no room for people like me in the world!"
And Nadia's all, "Cheer up, emo kid, you have to get back to reality and fix all the shit your rambaldi craze has caused, mmkay?"
Sloane's like "Fine....i'll come back and be a good man and fix all my wrongdoings" -fingers crossed-
Omg, did i just admit i was going to be a good guy?!
Okay i've always been against the Sloane/Nadia relationship because i knew he was always an evil guy at heart, but i melted at this scene. Awwww. Even psychotic evil masterminds have feelings.
4x20 The Descent- He may be a psychotic, evil, criminal, rambaldi fanatic, mass mudering sociopath, but he's still my daddy
Nadia uses her special Rambaldi given Passenger powers to open a shiny box...
But Sloane's all "No! Mine! All Mine!" and goes after his preciousss himself
Either due to the mysterious forces of Rambaldi or those extra pies he had at lunch, Sloane falls through the glass and is embedded by spiky pieces of glass in his body. Despite all his evilness, Nadia goes after her spydaddy and stays by his side, getting him to a hospital and all in time.
4x21 Search and Rescue- No broken promises
Remember in episode 4x02 where Nadia swears she will avenge Irina's murderer...
Well Jack conviniently admits it was him in the end, and gives Nadia the evil eye.
And when Jack says Irina may still be alive Nadia's all 'I hope she is-and you should be too' in a very threatening voice. Oo-er!
4x21 Search and Rescue- Operation rescue spy!mommy
Syd and Nadia go off to find spy!mommy.
They find her buried in a mysterious hatch located in the jungle...JJ clearly needs to stop confusing his shows together...
And the spy!women make it back to shore.

I brought you your clothes because i'm such a loving, conisderate daughter hinthint

Mother daughter bonding time.
4x22 Before the Flood- The ultimate sacrifice
Nadia throws the switch to get the train moving...
But is caught in a land of the dead moment
And rushes to the train...
But her fingers aren't long enough and she and the rest of the spy!gang are seperated
And suddenly Alias is turned into a horror movie as she is engulfed by a swam or zombies.
4x22 Before the flood- Tap water is bad for your health, kids!
Nadia tries to be kind to a wounded stranger, and what does she get in return? A gun pointed at her head and Elena Derevko's headquaters.
Nadia: You're right . . . I see my future . . . Two minutes from now I see myself killing you--
[Elena slaps her.]
Nadia: The only reason you want me to be on your side is because you believe I'm the one to stop Sydney Bristow. But she's my sister . . . you are nothing to me.
But her spy!auntie is just as evil as the rest of them, and injects her with the infected tap water. Uh oh.
4x22 Before the Flood- Zombie!Nadia
Rambaldi's endgame: Red contacts and a severe case of sibling rivalry.
Sister showdown!
While Syd tries to choose which wire to cut...
Zombie!Nadia sneaks up behind her, grovel creep.
And it's SLOANE to the rescue?! o_o
But turns out Nadia is still alive despite being shot in the back TWICE this season, because this is Alias, and nobody ever really dies.
The big red ball thing explodes and Sovogda faces the worst rainstorm of the century.
--Season 5 Spoilers up ahead--
5x13 30 Seconds- Sleeping Beauty wakes up

AWWW SPYFAMILY MOMENT OF THE SEASON
5x13 30 Seconds- spy!pms
Nadia finally decides to move in with Sloane, so she goes to his study to cut off her hospital tag....
And finds out who had the real Rambaldi manuscript. NOW will Nadia finally get the message that her spydaddy is EVIL? BAD. BAD GUY NADIA, BAD.
Bad spydaddy! Bad spydaddy! Choose- me or this drawing of my sister!
You think my sister is prettier than me! She throws the manuscript into the pit of flames with rage.
Maybe now that her spydaddy has pushed he through a glass table and lodged a piece of glass in her throat, she'll finally realize he's evil. Though i always ask what the hell was the point of spending all that time and money to bring Nadia back if Sloane's just gonna kill her again anyway in the same episode o_o
5x14 I see dead people- Of course she's not gone, this is Alias!
RIP Nadia...
It's Ghost!Nadia. Hello daddy. Like my new tattoo? Looking as pretty as ever despite the fact she's well, dead.
5x17 All the time in the world- Payback time, oh evil spydaddy of mine!
Sloane's trapped in a cave of rocks and Jack's remains...
Cya Daddy
And off she goes, leaving him alone in all his wickedness forever.
Phew that took about forever. If you have any additional favourite moments feel free to comment!
I've signed up for three things on missing artifacts catch up month, and this is actually due last, but i've been quite sick lately and haven't really had the time or energy to muster up any time consuming graphics or soundtracks. I figured i'd at least get this one out of the way first, and complete the other two at a later date. I hope that's okay!
Anyway without further ado, here are the best of the best of everyone's favourite Spy!Sister's short but significant time on Alias.
WARNING: Season 5 spoilers included, but i've put a big warning saying SEASON 5 SPOILERS on the page from when they start, so it is relatively impossible to miss.
VERY image heavy, but intelligent random captions to keep you entertained. click above.
pics curteousy of spy-caps and two evil monks.
