Episode 3: The Shed
October 15, 2005 – 5:50 pmI’m feeling quite lazy now, and plus the episode is far from brilliant, so I’ll just give a short recap.
We see Nadia swarmed by zombies (from last season’s finale), but unfortunately, we aren’t going to see Nadia in coma this episode, much less walking around.
Anyway, the new agent Tom Grace and Syd go to somewhere with Marshall to get Dean’s hacker. Yup, they’re still chasing after Dean. Syd isn’t happy to go with Tom, because Tom has always been a loner - working alone. But because Dixon is going to ‘monitor’ Sloane who is getting some kind of cure for Nadia in a trade thingy going to take place in Russia, so Syd has no choice.
They get the hacker - Rachel Gibson. She’s just like Syd-in-the-beginning, not knowing that she works for the bad guy, which in this case is Dean’s ‘black-ops division of CIA’ - the Shed.
Rachel is pretty cooperative, and she helps them download the files. Unfortunately, Dean finds out, and promptly sets the bomb and escapes. With everybody still in the office. Of course Rachel gets out alive, while I doubt anyone else did.
Meanwhile Sloane isn’t having a good time. The cure and everything was just a trick because the contact was angry at Sloane for having released the poison water. Anyway, Sloane gets away fine because the guy wasn’t the killing type.
Rating: 6.5/10
Well, well. At least this episode is a little better than the previous one. Some are speculating whether Alias would be cancelled mid-season, which I do hope isn’t the case. I don’t like Rachel Gibson. And Tom Grace isn’t too high on my ‘like’ list. My problem is that I am against new characters. It may take sometime to settle in, but boy, do I miss Weiss and perhaps, even Vaughn!
Now we just need Irina back to make the whole show much more watchable again.
