Previously on Alias: Anna Espinosa shed her DNA and absorbed Sydney's, so now she's "SydAnna" and she wears the Evil Eyeliner of Evilness.
We begin in Jaipur as Syd is pulling up to some office in a Jeep. She's wearing the loudest, pinkest business suit ever to fall off the Ivana Trump Classics shelf at Sears and has paired it with matching pink sunglasses and a matching pink phone. Her wig, thankfully, is NOT pink; it's blonde. Jennifer Garner pulls out White Trash Accent #988 for this character. Lots of "Hiyas" and "Hey theres" and "ain'ts." Syd's pretending to be a perfume designer who needs to outsource her customer service to India. She meets with the head of the Jaipur call center, and they walk inside the building.
After Syd sees the multitude of operators inside the call center, we switch back in time to Marshall's Garage of Geekiness, where Marsh is telling Syd that they got a lead on Anna, and she's routing her calls through the call center in Jaipur using an encrypted router. She's piggybacking off the call center's system. Syd has to get to the router and remove the encryption key so that they can listen in the next time Anna makes a call. They may even be able to find her location. All Syd has to do is get the bottle of "L'eau de Passion" within five feet of a Wi-Fi access point so they can map the calls. Syd raises an eyebrow at the name of the perfume. Marshall's all, oh, what? Too tacky? "I'll work with it," quips Syd, running off to put on her pink white trash suit.
Back in the present, Syd starts spraying the stanky perfume all over this one poor woman who looks like she thinks the perfume smells like an old lady's crotch or something. Syd drops the bottle on the woman's desk, right next to a wireless router. Elsewhere in the building, Élodie gets the signal Syd just set up for her and starts mapping the system. She discovers that the router isn't outside the building; it's inside. Syd starts to back out of the situation, but Élodie tells her to stay put and follow her lead.
Suddenly, Élodie busts into the call center with her gun held high and starts ordering everyone not to move. Then she grabs Syd and shoves her to the floor when she sees the encrypted router beneath one of the tables. To distract the others, she starts demanding everyone's valuables. While on the floor, Syd quickly finds the router and cracks it open to remove the encryption key. She and Élodie hit the bricks with Syd dropping the bag full of valuables onto a trash can outside the center. Élodie's all, "Hey! I saw a watch I liked!" Syd's all, "This is Jaipur. Do you really think it's not a knockoff?" Then they head to their getaway car with Syd commending Élodie on a job well done and inviting her to join APO. Élodie's like, dude? I'm a thief and an assassin; I'm thinking my skills aren't really suitable to a legal organization.
