Episode 6: Solo
November 12, 2005 – 6:41 pmRachel’s family is ‘kidnapped’ by the CIA for witness protection sort of thing. So of course Rachel is really sad. And starts crying.
Sloane continues to meet Dean and tell stuff. Dean wants to find Vak, some weapon designer. So Sloane makes that into an APO mission. They have to find Zigza Zidane (I know, weird name) first, though. Syd gets Renee to get Zidane and he blabs about some intel someplace. So Syd, Dixon and Tom go to some India place where there’s this Chinese general about to marry an Indian girl. So Syd goes into the general’s office and speaks some yucky Chinese (but not so bad) and Marshall tries to unlock the safe. Unfortunately, the frequencies are jammed and stuff so Rachel runs out and gets the receiver closer to the building. She sees a guard and bolts in fright, getting rescued by Tom.
Now Vak is on a oil-rigging thingy in the middle of the South China Sea, where he sees no one but a girl per week. And Syd can’t go, cause she’s pregnant. So the only person is Rachel. Everyone doubts her ability (except probably Jack cause he sent her), but fortunately Syd will be on comms.
Rachel gets to Vak and successfully steals the thingy, but at that moment, her former friend from the Shed arrives. Dean did not believe Sloane and had personally sent the girl to get the thing. Rachel does some lousy fighting, but is successful in the end when Dixon and Tom save the day in a helicopter.
In between those action scenes are some Vaughn-mentions. Syd even plays a Vaughn tape to her baby at the end. We also get to see a glimpse of Nadia in coma, Sloane watching her.
Rating: 6.5/10
I am hating Rachel more and more with each episode. Blond character that seems so…just arrgh. Nothing exciting about her, cries every episode just like Syd some seasons ago. And Vaughn and Nadia will be in the next episode. Hopefully the next episode will be much better. I want more of the old people in action.
