In this episode: Sydney Bristow (3), Jack Bristow (3), Michael Vaughn (2)

Okay. I'll confer with your father about your countermission.

My father?

He didn't tell you? Based on your father's instincts in the Madagascar incident, Devlin gave him operational approval.

Sydney, Washington has made a decision regarding your mother. What she did to you invalidated her agreement with the CIA. The government is pressing charges. They're going to seek the death penalty.

An operation to train children to be American spies. Project Christmas. Ever since Mom came back, you were afraid she'd figure out what you did to me. You weren't trying to protect me from her, you were trying to protect your secret. So the first opportunity you had, you set her up. In Madagascar.

Sydney, understand something--

No, Dad, you understand something. You took away my choices in life. You programmed me to be a spy. I will never forgive you for this.
