    So.. the leads are back on the book what Sydney got from Argentina and.. they need for her to get the page from there and do the switch.. and that in Sloane's house.. sounds crazy but she manages it.. and the end.. when CIA figures out what to do with that book.. even more crazy.. I am not even sure what it all means but.. Ok.. the best part for me in this episode was Will story what somehow hits the top - he is in position where he has to chose - his and his family and friend's life or the article.. and it looks like there is no choice.. and I have no idea what he should or can do.. he is in trouble.. and that dinner in Sloane's place.. the irony.. meeting those people who are behind it.. trying to kill him.moreless

    Volvieron los viajes relmpago alrededor del mundo, volvi Sidney con todo convencida de que lo est haciendo sirve para salvar al mundo de los malitos, volvi Rambaldi! Y todos despedazndose por tener la mayor parte de la coleccin de objetos maravillosos e increbles. Para m que este tipo (ya s, no me van a dar el Premio Nobel de Inteligencia por lo que voy a decir) est vivito y coleando gracias a uno de sus super inventos, no? Ojal la trama se siga desarrollando por este lado y por el otro que Will siga haciendo de las suyas. Que termine trabajando para la CIA! Por favoooor!!!moreless

    Vaughn asks Sydney to use her friendship with Emily, Sloane's wife, in order to get more photos of the Rambaldi book. She, Jack, and Will go to dine at Sloane's house. There, Sydney gets the photos and the page. Will is kidnapped in order to warn him to stop doing what he's doing with SD-6 or they'll hurt his friends and family. He does stop. He also breaks up with Jenny. Vaughn finds out what the page of the Rambaldi page was: a picture of a woman who looks like Sydney.

    This episode was great! The ending was cool! It was scary when Sloane walked in on Sydney. This episode gets a 10 out of 10!moreless

    Another amazing episode and this season is really starting to become one of my favorite devoloped television series season 1s of all time.Every episode seems to entertain me from beginning to end. Many shows seem to falter once the writing gets into the middle of the season because they want to use all the good ideas in the beginning to draw in people and then big twists at the end to keep those same people interested and coming back. I must say this show never seems to let up on the action and the adventure, every episode seems to be up there and it just seems to be getting better and better. SD 6 kidnapping Will make me think Jack is down deep with some secrets with that man in prison he doesn't want coming up. Sydney getting somewhat caught in the study was kind of surprising. I thought she would have gotten out of there okay, but she got caught red handed. I guess he figured she had just finished talking on the phone, but I would have found that a little odd from the other end of the perspective. Either way great shocking twist for an ending that has me confused and a handful of other mysteries that make me want to keep coming back for more. Fantastic episode.moreless

    • Sydney: So tell me the truth. Who do you like better Mary Ann or Ginger? The question "Ginger or Mary Ann?" is regarded to be a classic pop-psychological question when given to American men of a certain age as an insight into their characters, or at least their desires as regarding certain female stereotypes. The two woman are characters from Gilligan's Island. which ran on the CBS network from 1964 to 1967, and has run more or less continuously since in reruns. Edit
