Aaaaaaah, I love Irina so crazy-much. I've started rewatching the beginning of season two -- last night I watched Trust Me and this morning I watched Cipher and I'm saving Dead Drop for later and looking forward to it because oh, that one slays me -- and she is so incredible.
Also, I have my SOS/Maternal Instincts tape in my VCR, paused at the start of the Vancouver mission. :D Just because I feel the need to watch it over. And over. And over. Just 'cause. Of course, I don't really have to explain this to you, of all people.
She couldn't afford to fail as an agent, because the KGB would take none to kindly to it. And, in my obvious to everyone but me realization, the horrible mistake was putting herself in that position, because how could she have this baby with someone she loved and not love it, and want it, and miss it? And this is evidenced by Irina's inability to walk away when Syd was in pain. Because. She. Loves. Her. *tear* Awwww, exactly. I need to watch it again when I'm in a more rational state of mind, rather than just

Ha, I'm so glad it made sense to you, because I was rambling and I was like, am I even illustrating any of what I mean to say?
I watched the beginning of season two last weekend. Man oh man.
My whole thing was that... I didn't want to watch the whole episode again. They were amazing, both of them, don't get me wrong, but they were frustrating and nerve-wracking and I didn't feel up to it. But the mission needed to be watched again. It was completely necessary. And no, you need never explain to me. When they showed Mommy's high heels, I was speechless. And my sister was like, it's MOMMY, I beat you to it, I knew it first, and I was like, omg, I couldn't speak. Because, you know. And I know you do.
And you're right- when she's away, she convince herself that she's a badass and they're so yesterday and whatever, but when push comes to shove, it's like, dammitSee, the people who write Irina? They're hardcore. They can get into her words and just... they're able to put such spins on them that you can get so much out of her lines. And

Thanks for reading- it's too much fun, trying to understand Irina and her motives.
And think of it this way- you still have another year before Alias ends for good. :-(
And I'll get right on adding you ;-)
