“Maternal Instinct” · Season 5

In this episode: Irina Derevko (3), Jack Bristow (2), Sydney Bristow (1), Marcus Dixon (1)

I can fend for myself.

But you're not just fending for yourself, you're fending for two. [Glances at Syd] Let's be honest Syd, right now you waddle.

I don't waddle.

Oh ho ho, yes you do.

I'll admit I may be a little less graceful, but I don't waddle.

You're right, [Syd scoffs] actually it's more of a teeter.

You should know something, Sydney. I never wanted to have a child. The KGB demanded it. They knew it would insure your father's allegiance to me. You were simply a means to an end. And then, when the doctor put you in my arms and I looked at you, so fragile, all I could think was: how could I have made such a terrible mistake. And at that moment I was sure of one thing: I couldn't be an agent and a mother. I'd either fail at one or both. And I chose to fail at being a mother.

If Peyton's here, then she's here to kill me too.

Then she'll be very disappointed because I'm about to beat her to it.
