Episode 2

Read the synopsis of Succession if you did not see last night's episode of Alias.

So here is my take on the last 2 episodes of "Alias," my observations and predictions and questions.

Will the relationship between Sydney and

Sark grow? Syd seems to hate him but he seems to have true respect for her. He was surprised she was alive...I think he was truly surprised, and not just faking it. And how can Sark be a Romanov? And where would he get all that money? Didn't the Bolsheviks pretty much clean out the Romanovs?

I think Sloane has something to do with the 2-year hiatus, but I also think he excluded Sark from his machinations with Sydney's missing time. I cannot believe that Sloane is reformed. He has to have something up his sleeve.

It's too bad that they cremated Sydney and scattered her ashes...they could have studied the dead body and seen whose body it really was. And how she died. Here's a question: How could the CIA think it was Sydney's corpse when it really wasn't? Don't they have the technology to keep from making a mistake like that?

In that DNA lab that Sydney busted last year, there were records of 2 people having been cloned; one became Evil Francie and the other is a mystery. I had thought earlier that Clone #2 was the clone of the CIA agent that Syd extracted when she busted the DNA lab, but it seems like Clone #2 is a mystery. Could there be a clone of Sydney out there and THAT is the person Jack has in his little video? OR what if Clone #2 is Sloane, and Real Sloane is out there wreaking havoc while Clone Sloane (haha that rhymes!) is in Zurich running the relief organization.

What is the deal with Jack and Irina? Are they in love again? Why do they miss one another? Is Jack a double agent? Was Irina really in league with Sloane, or is she triple-crossing? If Sloane gave the CIA so much valuable intelligence, then why don't they have Irina in custody? Is the CIA under the control of Sloane or the Covenant? Is Sloane in the Covenant?

Will Sydney run into Will Tippen? I think there is no way that they could just write him out of the show like that...did they? I liked Will, and I think he will end up back in the show, and that he and Eric Weiss (the hefty CIA guy and Syndey's new neighbor) will vie for Syndey's attentions.
