Second Double
Episode 2.21

          Our second double is really not playing nice. What’s wrong with this Evil Francie? I like the old one much better thank you very much. This one’s just psycho. I can’t believe she went to so much trouble to get Will accused of being the double. Did she not grow to like him all this time she’s been with him?

 

          Who says it’s time for Francie to get her ass kicked by someone? Hopefully it will be Sydney. I have to admit something though. This Francie is very smart and very scary. She’s obviously highly experienced as she keeps being trusted by Sark and Irina. This is scaring me a bit. If she didn’t have any trouble getting rid of Will, what do you think she’ll do to Sydney? I’m scared just thinking about it.

 

          I love the continuity of the season. The writers are really making sure to clear everything up. All questions are being answered. I loved the return of the Helix protocol and it’s a great way to bring in new stories into an already exceptional show. This season has just been amazing already. I’ve especially loved the character development.

 

          Will has turned into a really fun character. I didn’t think his story was worth the time it got in the first season, but I’m really starting to enjoy him now. Evil Francie really did a deal on him. She’s made him forget everything. He cannot remember any of his personal experiences. I found that scene with Sydney exceptionally beautiful. She’s heartbroken that he couldn’t remember the night they both kissed.

 

          Although all the clues lead to Will’s guiltiness (or doubleness), Sydney doesn’t give up hope for her friend. I can understand that. She says it herself. If he’s been doubled, it means Will’s dead. She can’t live with that. He himself tells her that meeting her has been the worst thing that has ever happened to him. That was a bit harsh. Sydney knows that. What else can she feel? She knows he got him tortured. She knows she’s gotten him in a lot of trouble. When he told her “I can’t trust you,” that even hurt me. I couldn’t believe he would say that.

 

          I loved the Dixon storyline. He’s moved on from the emotional stage and now he’s in the retribution stage. He wants revenge and if that consists of not thinking rationally…so be it! He really wanted to hurt Will and I was scared for his safety. The guard didn’t really care what happened to Will. Dixon refused to let go of Will. He was looking to choke him. Ewww…That’s scary.

 

          I have to give the writers credit for the scene in the sex bar. I can watch that scene over and over again. I got a beautiful Jennifer Garner moment. I can see her in that dress every single day. Did I just say that? We all have to admit though that she did look great. I loved how the writers pushed to make that scene happen. Sydney was having a fun time though. She wanted to go in and put on that leather and work her stuff. Our Sydney has a sexy side we didn’t know she had.

 

          There’s a new Sloane that emerged in the episode. He dared to go into town and sit right next to Jack. You have to love the way he thinks. He’s the one that feels betrayed by Jack. I felt like telling him, “Get over it.” He’s definitely back on track now with his mission. I sure am scared now.

 

Syd’s Tips

 

-          Never lose faith in a friend. If he is being investigated for anything, stick by him until the end. Friendship is all that counts.

Some Final Notes

 

-          Syd and Vaughn need their sex. That opening scene was so hot…and that ends there.

-          Francie was so hardcore with the laser in Will’s eyes. What a bitch.

-          Irina was angry at Sark for ordering Will killed.

-          Will can be really good in the field. He shot those two men in a second.

-          Dixon showed Will pictures of the only reminding parts of Diane from the car. Those made me shudder.

-          Jack doesn’t want to be Head any more. Kendall got his job back. He’s so happy it’s unbelievable.

-          Vaughn acting drunk in front of the French guards was fun.

-          Irina actually electrocuted Sydney. This woman is crazy. And she erased the files off the servers.

-          Sydney kissed Jack on the cheek.

-          Syd’s dominatrix outfit rocked.

-          I gasped when Jack showed Sydney the video of her having sex with Vaughn the first night. That must be tough.

 

Loved it. 5 stars.
