A Simple Alias

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) go on a long tangent about streaming television shows. In Alias, this is the one where things take A Dark Turn (ba-dum-tss) for Irina, Vaughn, and Bad Francie. Irina escapes (oh no!) from the CIA and we find out she was working with Sloane. Vaughn is under investigation (oh no!) for some seemingly shady activity, but he tells Syd he's been investigating Irina on his own. We learn that Bad Francie has been hypnotizing Will in his sleep (oh no!).

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Bangkok nightclub (start 13:32): Blue by Latour starting the song at about 00:08.

It's also the one where Sydney wants to quit and then doesn't quit because she finds out Sloane has orchestrated everything. We see Marshall is so at home at the CIA (we love to see it), Dixon struggling SO hard with the news about SD-6 (we don't love to see it, heartbreaking), and we see Sloane getting even deeper into Rambaldi (which is why he kidnapped Christian Slater Neil Caplan and his family).
