A Simple Alias

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) love the Bristow family mission SO! VERY! MUCH! It's also the one where Vaughn tells Sydney about his dad's watch (AH!) and the one where Vaughn sort of has to fire Will (except that Will keeps working). And it's just Part 1!

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Sydney chases Sark's car (start at 00:50 right after previously ons): Play Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival starting at 00:00. Will & Sydney talk (start at 18:58 just as the scene changes to Syd's apartment): Play Almost Rain by Josh Canova starting at 00:00. Final scene w/ Bristows (start at 39:54): Play Walk On by U2 starting at 00:00.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) talk about how SO VERY MUCH happens in this episode. Like, so many memorable moments. It's also the one where everyone is very worried about Vaughn, so Sydney ends up working with Sark to get an antidote for him. And by working with Sark, we mean Sydney killed Sloane for Sark?! But then also, Sark revived Sloane and showed up working with SD-6?!?! Oh, it's also the one where Will investigates the inconsistencies and oddities surrounding the standardized tests.

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Sydney explains Project Christmas (start 4:57): Play Home by Debbie Weisberg. We couldn't find the song streaming, so if you can find it it sounds like it might start at the beginning. Vaughn wakes up (start 34:08): Play I Grieve by Peter Gabriel starting the song at 00:00. The music starts at the time stamp above, but they must loop five seconds somewhere as the lyrics start on Sydney. Recommend pressing play on the music at 34:13 to better match timing. Syd and Vaughn at the CIA (start 39:26): Play I Shall Believe by Sheryl Crow starting the song at 00:00. The lyrics should start when Vaughn's lips close.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) are FINALLY back after an unintentional long winter's (autumn's) nap — happy new year! We've missed you! But this is the episode where Sydney turns in SpyDaddy, but then has to go on a mission with him to collect the research about the virus, Vaughn hires Will, Sloane is unraveling over Emily, and Vaughn are suspected of having a virus and have to go in quarantine (relatable content).

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Sydney & Will at Francie's restaurant (start 8:18): Play Blister in the Sun by Violent Femmes starting the song at 00:00. Jack & Sydney on the plane: This one is the same on Amazon, but it's being included as it doesn't sound like the traditional "featured music." It is Go by Andy Hunter. Vaughn and Will meet (start 14:10 right after credits): Play Violent Rain by Gus Black starting the song at 00:00. Vaughn tells Sydney she talks in her sleep (start 31:07): Play A Place Called Home by Kim Richey starting the song at 00:00.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) are so, so sad because Sydney learns about Project Christmas and confronts SpyDaddy and we just want them to love each other. It's also the one where Francie opens her restaurant, we learn the government is seeking the death penalty for Irina, and Vaughn learns that Jack set Irina up.

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Immediately at the episode start w/ Sydney visiting Irina's empty cell (start 2:13): Play This World by Zero 7 starting the song at about 00:15. Grand opening of Francie's restaurant (start 10:02; 10:49): Play Brimful of Asha (Norman Cook Remix) by Cornershop starting the song at about 00:02 (lyrics start when they say "hey"). Play "When I Get You Alone" by Thicke starting the song at about 00:12 on "baby girl, where you at?". Sydney tells Will about her mom (start 25:28): Play The Golden Age by Beck starting the song at about 00:00. Just before Sydney confronts Jack (start 39:36): Play River by Joni Mitchell starting the song at about 00:00. The lyrics should start just before Jack asks "what is it?"

This is the one that introduced Bree (@bleach226) to the show! This is also the one where Bree and Jess (@jesspkoehler) laugh because Sark offers Sydney a job and get *very* emotional about both Vaughn's support of Sydney and Jack's betrayal of Sydney by setting up Irina (because we just want them to love each other!). It's also the one where Will demonstrates his acting chops and totally fools the woman from NA who turns out to be SD-6!

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Will and Sydney talking (start 10:43): Play Oh Do Not Fly Away by The Innocence Mission starting the song at about 00:00. Close up on Irina (start 41:08): Play Stay by Michelle Featherstone starting the song at about 00:00. The music actually begins at 40:40, but there is extra piano that makes it not line up with the lyrical cues if you start the song at that time.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) both totally love when Will and Vaughn meet for the very first time. What else happens? Well, Sark is BACK, Sydney barely escapes on a luge during a mission, *something* is going on with Sloane, and ... Jack and Irina come face to face for the first time since she disappeared and he learned the truth about her. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN. Also, he did WHAT to Sydney?!

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. All featured music in this episode matches.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) talk, again, about how much they love Lena Olin who does SO much with so little in this episode as Irina repeatedly says she won't talk to anyone except Sydney (though, she does spill a smidge to Vaughn). It's also the one where Kendall is back running the joint task force overseeing Irina, Francie is painting her restaurant, and Sydney narrowly escapes running into Sloane on a CIA mission.

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Will picking up trash then talking to Francie (start 28:12): Play Fusco's Song by Catie Curtis starting the song at about 00:00 (we could only find a live version on YouTube, but based on that it seems to start at the beginning). Helsinki, when Sydney is walking in (start 34:38): Play Touch Me by Supreme Beings of Leisure starting the song at about 00:17. The music in the original begins at 34:24, but entire beginning of the song is different from the version found streaming, but starting here the music starts to match and you'll hit the lyrics at the right time.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) freak out because LENA OLIN IS HERE! This is also the one where Will has a great episode, but not a great time, Dixon turns Sydney in (but, it's fine), Sydney finds Vaughn in France and we lose our minds over THE WAY THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER for 12 whole seconds. Plus, screwdrivers have a major moment, Irina kills Khasinau (OMG), and IS WEISS OKAY?! Too many all caps? Or just enough? Hello S2! Oh, it's also the one where we have a super long end of S1 wrap up pre-intro before we get into the episode.

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Will goes through withdrawal (start 28:06): Play Farewell by Rosie Thomas starting the song at about 00:00. Will and Sydney talking (start 38:42): Play I Wanna Stay by Gemma Hayes starting the song at about 00:00.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) have the chance to chat with Kevin Weisman who plays our beloved Marshall Flinkman and is also just, the *nicest* gem of a human. There are SPOILERS in this episode. We repeat, there. are. spoilers.

We had some technical difficulties, so the end of the interview ends sort of abruptly. Fear not, you only missed the "how to find him" (which you'll find below) and our goodbyes. We are SO beyond grateful for the time he spent with us and can't thank him enough. We hope you enjoy! Connect with Kevin on Instagram and Twitter at @KevinWeisman, on Facebook @officialkevinweisman or via his podcast "Did We Do It" at @_DidWeDoIt_. His podcast cohost, Kevin Gass, can be found on Twitter at @GassLeak.

This is the one where Bree (@bleach226) and Jess (@jesspkoehler) record in person!! For the first time! Oh, oh, this episode, right. This is the one where we talk about Sydney's blue hair, how she and Vaughn look SO HOT in Taipei, how freaking delightful the audio commentary to this episode was, and how Bradley Cooper plays broken SO well as Will breaks our hearts when he hugs SpyDaddy. It's also the one where Vaughn gets trapped (OH NO!) and we have no idea how time works in this show (LA to SB in 57 minutes? Never.).

MUSIC: If you're streaming and want to line up the scenes with the original feature songs, here are the sound clips. Syd & Vaughn walk into a club (start 34:34 on Taipei title card): Play Music: Response by The Chemical Brothers. It is not largely different from Amazon in style, but it was tricky to pin the version/timing of this original down. I think it's the Futureshock Main Response remix, but with some music cuts. The closest match might be starting at 2:24. The lyrics are "music that triggers some kind of response" on the title card, then it goes into just music like the remix, but has some beeps, so they seem to have skipped forward (maybe around 3:00?). We get our first "music" on Syd as she walks in. We get our third and final "response" just after Vaughn pushes the guy before looping back to "music that triggers some kind of response" just before they go into the bathroom.
