Within the first few seconds of the second part of the Alias extravabonanganza, the CIA stooge whom Jack fingered in the previous episode gets his ambulance ambushed, Lena Olin shows up and asks him if he told Jack anything about The Horizon, he says he didn't, and then she shoots him twice. In the head. In broad daylight. God, I missed her. There are a couple of side plots about Getty and his dead wife and Sloane and Devlin and phone records, but who gives a shit when Lena Olin is around?
Syd, Jack, and Dix meet up on the beach to discuss some old Alliance mission by the name of "Leo 47 Norte" that Prophet Five interrogated Syd about; then they all split off to figure out just what the hell it means. Syd returns home to pack her bags in order to go into hiding, only to find her mother sitting in the middle of the living room all, "Hi, honey! I know about Prophet Five! Can't wait to be a grandmother!" Irina blabbles something about how Prophet Five believes Sydney knows what The Horizon is and that she can lead them to it. Jack shows up ASAP and makes googly eyes at his ex-wife while they talk about being grandparents. Hee.
Dix and Élodie interrogate the guy who was in charge of Leo 47 Norte and they find out that the mission involved a package that he was supposed to deliver in Vancouver. Dix fills Jack in and Jack promptly turns around and announces to Irina and Sydney that The Horizon is in a safety deposit box in Queens Bank in Vancouver. Yes. Because telling Irina ANYTHING is always a good idea. All three of them head off to get The Horizon. Of course, once in Vancouver, that plan goes all to hell when Irina goes to stab Jack in the neck with something and Jack finally figures out that Irina's in cahoots with Prophet Five. She claims she's not, but Jack isn't buying what she's selling. Before he can put a bullet in her brain, however, Sydney goes into labor. Wacky!
Peyton blows up Irina's prearranged helicopter, so the Spy Family has to figure out some other way to get to safety. While Jack's off trying to find a way out, Irina lets slip to Sydney that it was she who ordered Vaughn's death. Oh, and she also never wanted a child and deliberately failed at being a mother. Niiiice. Guess she's not getting a flowery card on Mother's Day, huh? Jack faces off with Peyton, then shows up in time to watch the Mother of the Year actually DELIVER Sydney's breech baby into the world. Good holy Jesus.
Jack and Sydney share a father-daughter bonding moment over the freshly minted baby and Irina makes a break for it, taking the satchel containing The Horizon with her. Syd and Jack get extracted, of course, and Syd makes Jack promise to take care of her baby should anything happen to her. At the same time, an errant monk rides across the wild plains of Bhutan in order to deliver a message to his "brother" that there's good news. He has a daughter. And that's when we see Michael "I'm not dead yet!" Vaughn looking remarkably alive and well. Oh, and hot.
