I hope Jack brings the smackdown on her :p ;) Don't wanna see Vaughn or Sydney do it though, it would be too predictable.

Dixon in the field again was a nice change of pace. My fiance noted that the series is starting to get back to its roots with the types of fast action sequences they're injecting into each episode recently. For a while it seemed they had been moving away from that and the show was getting predictable. All new Alias for the rest of the season makes me a happy camper!

That was a pretty good episode. Finally they are starting to advance the plot a little bit, for a while there it was just Sydney and Lauren bitching at each other.

Great episode! Finally, an Alias episode that isn't too dramatic or mushy. Jack definitely knows that Lauren's involved with the Convenant; Syd and Vaughn are going to get together (even if it is predictable); Sloan is definitely still a baddy and Sark is the ultimate jelly fish :D

Earlier in this episode...Sark, I believe, said it during the phone conversation they picked up whilke searching for the location of Dixon's kids.

Actually while they were searching the audio for when Sark ditched the plane...

But anyway... I know they had to tie it together somehow, but really... if that "blah blah blah, love" phrase belongs to Lauren, why in the hell would Sark use it, even if talking to Lauren ? ;)

I gotta say the guy who plays Dixon is a pretty good actor. I hope with Lauren and Sydney fight each other I hope it is in a shower.

Yeah it was a pretty good episode. A couple other things:

Lauren's dad is in on it with her.

Why doesn't he have a british accent?

I'm not sure they've even explained why Lauren has an accent. I think they might have said something earlier this season about her being born in Virginia but raised in the UK. The actress who plays her is Australian so maybe she just couldn't do a good American accent.

I don't think Lauren's dad knows what is going on with her and the Covenant, but he is someone who's going to get knocked off (probably by SarK) sooner or later. The actress who plays Lauren, her contract runs through only the end of this season so we should start to see how they're going to get rid of her sooner than later. It's pretty obvious to me that Jack overhearing Lauren make that comment to Vaughn at the end is the start of the plot to have her whacked before the end of this season.

Lauren's accent was described to have come from going to school in the UK as a child because her father worked in the UK as an ambassador(?) before he become a senator. She is austrailian in real-life though.

I don't really like Jennifer Garner too much that way, but hey, if it's gonna happen, SWEET!

And I know it's not good for the show if they keep the villianess around too long, but it'd be a sad thing to get rid of all the gratuitous lingerie shots of Ms. Reed.
