"The Shed"? It's more like The Shit. And not in the good way.

Prague. We're at the Au Bon Pain on Monroe Street in Chicago (what? That's what it looks like) and Syd, Getty, and Marshall are watching the building. Marshall says the hacker is inside the Au Bon Pain because he's getting a signal reading from the Wi-Fi Hotspot inside. Or something. Yawn. Marshall glues a microprocessor to the bottom of a tin of mints and if someone gets it within five feet of the hacker, it'll allow Marshall to clone the hard drive. Even better, the mints contain a tracking device, so if they offer the hacker one, they'll be able to locate him no matter where he goes.

Both Getty and Syd reach back for the mint tin and they kind of look at each other and Syd speaks to him in Czech and he's all, what the hell is that? And she's all, it's Czech, stupid, and he's all, oh, durr, well, why don't YOU go hand over the mint tin then? So Syd and her gargantuan belly leave. Inside the Au Bon Pain, she immediately hones in on a guy in a backward baseball cap working on a laptop. She asks him if he's American, he says he isn't, she says she thought he was because of his hat, which is a Boston Red Sox cap, like, it's not enough that we have to endure the Affletus (tm Sars) as part of the storyline, but now we're getting his favorite baseball team too? I mean, couldn't it have been the Yankees or something? Note to writers: We don't need any more in-jokes, people. Garner's pregnancy is one big giant in-joke, so leave the other ones on the cutting room floor, please.

Marshall starts the trace and Syd offers the guy a mint. Marshall then asks Syd if this guy has two computers networked together just as the guy asks Syd if she's pregnant. "No," says Syd, answering Marshall. Cute Czech Guy is all, uh, no? Then what is that, indigestion? Syd says she's joking. She really is pregnant! Isn't that hilarious? HILARIOUS. Marshall tells Syd that someone's hacking into Cute Czech Guy's computer in order to steal the bandwidth, and the hacker could even be on a PDA or cell phone. Marshall says the signal just went dead, and Syd sees a blond woman leaving the café with a cell phone in her hand, and since it's Rachel "Boobs McPhee" Nichols, we know that she's the hacker.
