Alias

We open on Syd and Noah, snuggling in bed. It doesn't last long, however, as Khasinau's men pull up outside the safehouse. Syd and Noah manage to sneak away.

L.A. Vaughn's busy telling Syd that K-Directorate is not so pleased with Khasinau and has hired a freelance assassin, the Snowman, to take out Khasinau. As in kill him, not date him. Though that would be amusing. Anyhoo, Vaughn says Snowy's been on the CIA's most-wanted list for twelve years.

Will and Francie really, really want to ask Syd about that plane ticket stub, but they, uh, don't.

SD-6. Noah asks Syd to run away with him, saying he's been stealing from the Russian mob for years and has piles of cash laying about. Dude, don't mess with the Russian mob! They're crazy! Syd says she can't leave, she needs to find Spy Mama and, like, beat her senseless for abandoning her and murdering all those people. Or something like that.

Syd stops to chat with Spy Daddy, who's in a mood. He pissily tells her he never would have ok'd her latest mission and it was a waste of time. Syd brings up the files she saw of her mother and Spy Daddy says they also have video of Spy Mama taken after her "death" but he has no interest in viewing it.

Sloane calls in McCullough and says he's sure Noah's hiding something.

Syd decides to watch the footage of Spy Mama. She recognizes the man debriefing her mother. It's Calder!

Vaughn tells Weiss he's going to Bogota to speak to someone who used to work with Snowy. Until Snowy tried to kill him that is.

Syd takes her Calder/Spy Mama discovery to Spy Daddy, 'cuz he was in such a cheerful before, this is sure to make him ecstatic. So, anyway, Syd says Calder's real name is Igor Sergei Valenko. Syd thinks if they can find Caldenko, he'll lead them to Khasinau. It seems Khasinau liquidated some of his assets and the initials "ISV" were in the documents. Also, a man matching Caldenko's description was captured on an SD-4 surveillance camera in Cape Town six months ago. Syd wants to go to Cape Town to get a lead on Caldenko. She wants Noah to accompany her. Spy Daddy brings up Sloane's suspicions about Noah. He says they looked into Noah's accounts and it's raised some questions. SD-6 believes Noah may be tied with K-Directorate. Syd says no way. Noah's loyal to SD-6, he believes he's working for the CIA and he's not a traitor. She asks Spy Daddy to speak to Sloane.

Bogota. Vaughn's chatting with Snowy's co-worker/victim. Dude sounds ROUGH! he says Snowy's called the Snowman 'cuz he uses an ice pick. Hey, it's Sharon Stone! She's the killer! No? Okay. Co-Vic says he doesn't know Snowy's identity, but he'll contact some people and see what he can find out. He asks Vaughn to make Snowy suffer when they find him. Dude obviously holds a grudge.

Syd and Noah head to Cape Town. Their mission is successful. Noah downloads data which will hopefully lead to Caldenko, but he injures his wrist.

A somewhat pointless scene in which Spy Daddy watches the Spy Mama video. We don't learn anything new, except Victor Garber can act circles around nearly every Gen X actor around.

Back in L.A. Will and Francie finally confront Syd about that ticket stub. She lies her ass off, but they believe her.

SD-6. Marshall tells Syd there was a computer glitch and they weren't able to pull any data from Noah's laptop. Sloane tells Noah to get ready for another long-term undercover assignment. Syd doesn't like that idea, but Noah says he volunteered for the assignment.

Some beach. Syd guesses that Noah's not gonna go undercover, instead he's gonna disappear. He, again, asks her to come with him. He hands her a ticket and tells her to think about it.

Marshall informs Sloane that he was able to reconstruct the Caldenko data from Noah's laptop.

Sloane tasks Syd and Dixon with finding Caldenko and hauling him back to SD-6.

So Syd and Dixon are off to Mackay, Australia. At the same time, Co-Vic calls Vaughn and says he's got word that Snowy's moving on Caldenko.

Syd enters Caldenko's big-ass house. She finds a guard, dead. And another one. And another one. Syd hears something in the kitchen so she checks it out. She finds a masked gentleman ice picking Caldenko to death. So they fight. And fight. Snowy falls on a knife. Syd spots his bandaged wrist and lifts his mask. Gasp! It's Noah! She cries, he dies and she cries some more.
