"Superb"

This episode was a good set up forthe JJ Abrams written episode that we will see in the next episode. The episode on its own wasnt all that amazing, but there were some high poitns to it. Arvin coming to Jack was a pretty big scene I think. The episode after Arvin reads something in Rambaldia manuscript he comes to see Jack and tells him that Jack will be working with him soon. I see a betrayal of the CIA from Jack in an upcoming episode, with him being a bad guy and having to watch Sydney go through that. Other then that scene at lunch everything else was pretty filler. Sydney infultrated the place to win the evidence for Will, however her mother beat her there and erased it before she could do anything about it. Francie "Allison" kidnaps Will and leaves him in a bad position for the next episode. I look foward to the finale, but this one was simply okay.moreless

This episode was absoloutly fantastic! I'm sure the finale is going to be even better.

Go Will! His escape was cool & I loved how he handled that rifle. He shot down 2 of Sark's men right from the very first shot. He can't trust Sydney anymore but he trusts evil Francie? Big mistake.

Francie, I mean evil Francie really gave me the creeps. Her evil look while she was pretending to worry about Will & while Syd was comforting her. I'm just glad that after all that happened & with all the proof that Will may be the double, Sydney never doubted his innocence.

Sydney & Vaughn at the leather club was a really cute scene when she had Dr. Jurgens tied up and Vaughn walked in. The "Hello Honey" "Hello Dear" was so cute & waht was even cuter was Syd posing for those photos with the good Doc. She seemed to be enjoying herself.

Sloan & Jack come face to face for the first time since Sloan dissapeared. That scene was very powerful. You could tell Jack was trying to controll his anger, and the urge to kill Sloan with his bare hands.

An even better scene yet, was when Sydney & Irena came face to face. Irena was so evil, there was absoloutly no concern for Syd in her eyes, the way she looked at her daughter, it was like she was looking at a complete stranger, where did all her love for Syd go. Was she only pretending to love her, or is this all a tough act so she can get what she wants. And I'm wondering, why did Irena want Will unharmed? Was it because of Sydney or is there another reason?moreless

- (Jack's having lunch at an open air restaurant, suddenly Sloane appears) Sloane: It's good to see you Jack. Jack: I assume that since you're sitting across from me with so little regard for your life, I'm in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle. Sloane: Two of them. Edit
- (Jack's been punished for Sydney's rogue operation) Kendall: We need to talk. Jack: Yes, I know, I've been sanctioned by the D.O.J. I'm no longer in charge of this operation center, that honor goes to you. Kendall: You know, maybe I'm a slow learner Jack, because I don't understand you. A month ago you were moving me out of my job, and now here you are handing it back. Jack: I belong in the field. Kendall: You know, we can help each other, we don't have to be adversaries. Jack: I appreciate your magnanimity. Kendall (Laughs): Now you're just mocking me. Jack: Yes. Edit
- Sydney: Kendall's going to report you. Jack: I'm aware of the consequences. Sydney: When the D.O.J. hears you initiated an op without their approval- Jack: Sydney, I've been doing this longer than you have... I'm not cut out for management anyway. Edit
