(S05E13) I like the disguise and accent that Syd uses at the start of this episode, on a mission with Renee' to steal a microchip at a call center in Jaipur. I think she was impersonating Kellie Pickler in five years.

While APO searches for Anna Espinosa, Sloane tries to use Prophet 5's cure for Nadia. But he has to kill her first ...

... but only for less than 30 seconds. Then he has to give her the cure. I love Jack's look when, after Sloane jabs a needle into Nadia's chest and it cures her, he looks at Sloane as if to say, "um, OK, now where the hell did that cure come from?" Sloane lies that he's been funding secret medical research to find a cure (he says the cure came out of Barcelona, which is where Payton and Espinosa are - dumb lie!). Jack calls Dixon and asks him to look into Sloane's activities lately.

Dixon tells Jack and Syd that he has found out he's been calling Barcelona a lot lately and been covering it up, and Barcelona is where Prophet 5's headquarters is. I guess they have a city where they have a headquarters, much like Coca-Cola has Atlanta.

Renee calls her French forger friend who is the one who took the call from Payton. He's working on Page 47 of the Rambaldi manuscript. He notices something under a black light.

Nadia goes back to living with Syd. She doesn't want to live with her father because she's not sure she can trust him.

While Nadia catches up with Syd and the new baby, Jack and Dixon and Marshall set a trap for Sloane. Sloane makes a call to someone to meet them. Jack calls Syd to tell her, and Syd tells Nadia. Nadia goes wth Jack to find out what Sloane's up to.

Renee goes to seduce the French forger while Thomas paints a red square on a wall for some reason. It's to blow a hole in the wall to kindap the forger. (Still not sure why they needed a red square on the wall.)

Jack and Nadia follow Sloane. Nadia getsout of the car to see what her father is up to. Sloane goes into a garage and takes out a large package. Jack  and Nadia get into the garage after Sloane leaves and find Nadia's clothing in boxes. They also find clinical studies from a clinic in Barcelona. Sloane has covered his tracks well!

Tom and Renee' are tortuing the forger to find out what he's doing with Page 47. He reveals to them that Page 47 is ... fake! The package that Sloane took out of the garage? The real Page 47! Now what's HE doing with it?

A side note here: ABC just showed a commercial for that Fatal Contact: Bird Flu In America movie, followed immediately by a commercial for Perdue Chicken! Hysterical!

Sloane is trying to figure out the secrets of Page 47 when the doorbell rings. It's Nadia. She wants to spend time with Sloane and get to know him. They talk about her being angry at him for his past misdeeds. Sloane says that he realizes that he needs her more than she'll ever need him. Nadia keeps looking at her hosptial admittance bracelet for some reason. And as Sloane goes to cook dinner, Nadia gets a pair of scissors to clip it off, and she discovers Page 47. Sloane explains that he gave APO all the Rambaldi artifacts, except he substituted a fake for this real one. Nadia is furious. She can't trust him. She makes him make a choice -- her or Rambaldi. She throws Page 47 into the fireplace. Sloane starts to see the hidden message, but Nadia fights with him. He pushes her out of the way, and she walls into the coffee table, shattering it. A big piece of glass jams into her neck.

With the help of his son's toys, Marshall explains to Jack how they will capture Anna.

Syd and Renee set up the plan to take out Anna, and Syd asks Renee again if she wants to join APO. She's still not sure. Meanwhile, Rachel walks around a bazaar, where the forger is sitting as a trap for Anna. Renee goes to a sniper's perch to have a clear shot at Anna. Dixon, Tom, and Syd are in position too.

Anna's car approaches, but she doesn't get out. Anna tries to escape in the car. She knows it was an ambush. Someone tipped her off. Syd shoots the car and it crashes. But Anna's not in the car!

Anna goes to where Renee is. She looks just like Syd. Renee' says "Sydney?" And Anna takes out a knife and slashes her throat and kills her.

Later, Jack and Syd find Nadia's body at Sloane's. She's dead too.

And so Sloane realizes what he has to do. He has to go back to Rambaldi. That's what his life has been about. So he goes to Prophet 5 to join them. They welcome him back ...
