Alias: "A Clean Conscience"
Jack is dying! Noooo! Okay, so Sophia (the
woman who raised Nadia and claimed to have seen Vaughn's father bringing
Nadia to the orphanage when Nadia was just a baby) shows up in LA, all beat
up and stuff. I was excited about this because I was really hoping
that someone would discuss the fact that Vaughn's father was connected to
Nadia, but no one did. Turns out that Sophia is actually Yelena Derevko,
the missing third Derevko sister, and she's seriously evil. No one
but the audience knows this, though. Weiss was hardly in the ep, if
at all, and once again, Vaughn and Nadia had zero interaction. This
is getting ridiculous. Oh, and nobody actually told us anything that
juicy this ep. That's next week, apparently. OH! Squick
alert! Sydney must impersonate her mother in an elaborate hypnotism
to get some important information out of Jack. Not enough eww in the
world. I can't even think about that.

Alias: "Another Mister
Sloane"
Okay. Clearly, Sloane is Teh Evol. Clearly.
Well, aside from it being a really interesting episode, what with
the creepy Pseudo Sloane and all, there really wasn't much there. The
good news is that when they were all about to ambush the bad guys, Nadia
and Vaughn were standing next to each other. Of course, they were
all about to be shot by the bad guys around the corner, but I think she
whispered "Vaughn," and that's damn well good enough for me. Yes,
I am THAT sad. Next week: Tell all! Riiight...

Alias: "Pandora"
Okay,
so Vaughn goes all rogue to find out about his father, and even though
he learns that his father is actually dead and has been dead all this time
and it was all a setup, he shoots Dixon in the process. Ohnoes! Anyway,
I am frustrated because there seems to be no breaking Syd/Vaughn up anytime
soon, if ever. They're stubbornly holding on to that stagnant relationship,
it seems. So, once again, Vaughn and Nadia were never even in the
same room. Hey, at least Sydney and Weiss had a conversation alone.
Weiss knew that Sydney was really worried about something because of
the way she was cleaning the sink. Cute! I swear, JJ Abrams had
an opportunity to develop this pair way back in season three when she was
single and he was single, and he missed the boat completely. Ugh. Still
waiting for more development on the connection between Vaughn and Nadia.
