I missed Alias! Again!

Can someone recap for me, please? I was at my dance class, which ended at 8:30, but then the better dancers come in and dance, and my teacher grabbed my hand, and was teaching me all this cool stuff (we learned how to swing dance tonight), and it was totally awesome and fun and AWESOME and why haven't I been doing this my entire life?... but it made me miss Alias, since I just got home.

Could somebody help, and let me know what happened? Please?

I just saw an ad where Dennis Miller was shilling Netzero by saying it had higher customer satisfaction ratings than AOL. Way to set the bar high dude, the killer website from Fear Dot Com had better customer satisfaction than AOL.

Alias = so good. But I'm terrible at recapping. I"d say come over and watch. since we are tivoing. And yet no cause no car/license.

Kat is trying to make me cry.

*sniffle*

Why do you hate me, Kat?

I don't. I just want you to have compelling reasons to one day drive. Alias on tap is one of those.

Do you think I don't want to drive? I know all about all the myriad awesome things I could do, if I only had a license, and a car. Including getting a job which pays more than the one I have now, which would be awesome, because that's the sort of thing that allows one to buy driving lessons or, you know, a car. Or TiVo. Next week I'm setting my VCR for Alias, just in case, though.

AND TWOP will tell me about Alias within the next week anyway. So there.

ETA: Anyway, lucky for you, I just can't be upset right now, because I just had way too much fun dancing. I learned so many cool things! Including how to wind up being spun on the floor and then get back up so quickly, that I didn't even register that I had spun around on my hip until I was already up again. It was really cool. Also, there was this really neat ronde de jambe a terre / grapevine thing that was incredibly nifty, when I was learning the Shag. (My French spellings are approximations, so forgive me if they're total crap. I've never had a ballet spelling test.)

Thanks, Kat. There's nothing I can do about that, though. However, I edited my previous post to explain why I'm not terribly sad about it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, Alibelle, here I go again!

So the theme of this week's episode is SYDNEY FUCKING HATES SLOANE. Cause she comes home to find Sloane chatting with Nadia, and she's all get outta my house you evil bastard OMG I must wipe everything he touched. The MacGuffin this week is a new explosive called Black Taurine, or however they spell it.

The first op is to get the intel, so the gang goes to some hotel to copy the dude's computer and PDA to find out who's buying the boom-boom. Nadia is really hot in a maid outfit, and she vacuums to drown out the sound of Syd drilling a hole through the wall so they can slip in the fiber optic camera. But oh snap the dude gets up and starts watching a soccer game, cause he owns one of the teams. I forget why this fudges up the plan, and what they actually intended to do. I think they thought he was going to leave the room, but in fact, he is going to be there all night. But oh snap part two cause Nadia and Syd are a pair of Sherlocks and deduce that the dude's got a chick he's ditching for a soccer game, so they just have to find her and get her to let her in. Sloane is all no way they'll recognize Nadia as the maid, and Nadia is like shut up dad no one looks at the help. Syd and Nadia look hot in their getups. Nadia finds the dude's chick by smelling for the crappy perfume she saw in the room, and they all get drunk together. They crash the room, and Nadia and Syd totally work it, pickpocketing PDAs and copying computers. Nadia even knows soccer trivia to distract the dude with. And Weiss is ubercute as he fanboys over Nadia's slick spy skillz and wonders to Vaughn if it'd be weird if they were dating sisters. The plan almost goes to shit as Nadia can't get the PDA back in the dude's pocket in time, but then she covers before they die.

Back at the APO, Sloane is all you will respect my authoritah! And Syd starts in on the same speech Dixon gave last week. Anyway, Marshall uses his mad computer skillz and discovers the deal's going down in sixteen hours, so they need to move quickly. Sloane sends Vaughn and Dixon, and then Jack is all bitch send the womens, fool. So he does.

The deal is on a boat, and Syd and Nadia are hot in low-cut wetsuits. Nadia breaks into a safe, and Syd uses a gizmo to get the secret keycard combination to break into the safe inside the safe, which has a whole lot more boom-boom than they expected. Meanwhile, though, Sloane has recognized the buyer as one of his old buddies from his evil days. And the buyer tells the dude he's planning on taking over the dude's operation, so w00t w00t doublecross cause it turns out the dude's chick was in on it too and then everyone's shooting at each other and dying, and Nadia and Syd are hiding. They jump ship, and the dude gets shot the fuck off the boat by his chick. Sloane comes up with a plan and he's all ha ha Syd you have to trust me isn't that ironic. His plan is to make a deal with the buyer to tell him where the lab that makes the boom-boom is. Sloane feeds Syd all these lines about how evil he is, and what he would do to the buyer if he didn't comply, and Syd is way uncomfortable. Finally, the buyer gives in and the dude's chick is like WTF and shoots him in the head. No, really.

So then the dude's chick and Syd fight, and Nadia goes and grabs the rest of the boom-boom and kills some people, and then she comes back just in time to save Syd from getting shot, and then Syd kills the dude's chick. The sisters have a tender moment where Nadia talks about how she thought she was a better spy cause she could be alone but now she thinks she was wrong. Syd and Nadia are hot, and is it wrong that I want them to make out?

Finally, at the end, Sloane tells Syd he's called in to have her transferred, since he figured she'd never work with him again, and then Syd goes even more Dixon on him, and is like I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU YOU EVIL EVIL MOTHERFUCKER SEE YOU TOMORROW OKAY BYE. Sloane smiles a little cause Syd is staying but (continued...)

( continues...) then he goes home and cries himself to sleep. The end. That last part did not actually happen, by the way.

Oh, and somewhere in there Weiss does a card trick for Nadia and it's the cutest thing ever.
