Sydney's emotions are turned inside-out when she comes face-to-face with Allison, Francie's doppelgänger, who was presumed dead but is now a key figure in The Covenant.

Quotes

(Marshall is explaining something in a briefing)
Weiss: Flinkman you know what would be great, English!
(edit)
Marshall: I don't know if you noticed, but I'm not that smooth around the lady's, in fact I'm a little awkward. Lets face it you got the looks, I've got the brains.
(Vaughn has an insulted look on his face)
But look I wanted to propose to Carrie, so I came up with an idea and I was hoping that you could give me some objective feed back.
Vaughn: (says still with insulted look on his face) I've got the looks, you've got the brains? (edit)
Sydney: Do you have the signal?
Vaughn: (looks at PDA/signal device) Either Allison’s in there or someone’s making microwave popcorn. (edit)
Vaughn: It's been three weeks since I learned Sydney murdered Lazarey. I’ve been lying to my wife for three weeks.
Weiss: Vaughn, I know guys that have been lying to their wives a lot longer then that.
Vaughn: You understand the reason your brother didn't like talking to you was because you say stupid things right?
(pauses and takes some shots)
Vaughn: You know she's going to find out.
Weiss: And that you're protecting Sydney.
Vaughn: Yeah, see where I'm going with this.
Weiss: Well this is why people from the CIA shouldn't get married to people from the NSC. Don't poop where you sleep.
Vaughn: Thanks a lot! (takes a very hard shot at Weiss)
Weiss: (falls over in pain) Uh, ok you know what, that hurts! (edit)
Weiss: (to Vaughn) Well this is why people from the CIA should not get married to people from the NSC. Don't poop where you sleep. (edit)

Trivia

add »
We get to see how Allison killed Francie. (edit)
To further symbolize their fight between good and evil, Sydney was dressed in white and Allison in black. (edit)
We can see a picture of Budapest instead of Zürich when Sidney goes to Switzerland to meet Sloan. In the background the towers of Europe's biggest synagogue can be seen. The scene was shot on the rooftop of the Astoria, a famous hotel in Budapest. (edit)
In Phase One, when Francie get's killed, the trail of blood from her head goes horizontally. In this episode, the trail of blood goes straight down. (edit)
In the office that is supposed to be in London there is a lamp that clearly uses an American plug. (edit)
