\\<PARITY>//
Sydney                      is holding the nuclear weapon's plutonium core in her hand,                      when Hassan catches her -- and puts a gun to her head. Using                      the core as a distraction, she knocks Hassan out, and dodges                      soldiers' bullets as she escapes...
Upon                      return, Sloane sends Sydney and Dixon to Madrid to steal a                      lockbox, containing a sketch with what appear to be digital                      code...only drawn in the late 15th century by a seer named                      Milo Rambaldi. There are two sketches, containing the entire                      code, only when seen together...and SD-6 needs the second                      one. However, a rival Russian agency is also after the sketch,                      and Sydney discovers that she is up against her deadly K-Directorate                      rival, Anna Espinosa, whom we identify now by the eye tattoo                      on her hand.
In secret,                      Sydney meets Vaughn along the Santa Monica pier, and tells                      him about the sketch...but Vaughn also informs her that he's                      been taken off of her case, and a senior officer assigned                      in his place.
In Madrid,                      Sydney visits a show at the Auto Museo, where the box is hidden,                      while Dixon monitors outside in a van. She discovers that                      Anna is also there and one step ahead &#150; she has the lockbox.                      But only after an intense fight, Sydney takes possession of                      the box.
Back home,                      Will is still curious about Danny's murder...But after requesting                      surveillance footage from traffic cameras around Danny's former                      apartment on the night of the murder, he discovers that all                      of these cameras went out within a mile of the apartment on                      precisely that night.
Later,                      he and Sydney get a little drunk after an evening out, and                      later at her apartment, a playful moment...turns into a kiss...and                      a moment of shocking discomfort for them both.
Meanwhile,                      Francie leaks that she and boyfriend Charlie haven't been                      intimate in a while and that she is worried. Sydney suggests                      it's because he's been busy...until Francie discovers that                      he had no law review the previous night. When Charlie assures                      Francie that he is not having an affair, she is satisfied,                      until later discovering a matchbook with a woman's name and                      phone number...
Back                      at SD-6, Marshall cannot open the lockbox, and if he forces                      it open, a concealed piece of technology inside will destroy                      the sketch. Knowing that Anna has the key to the lockbox,                      Sloane arranges with K-Directorate for Sydney to meet Anna                      in Berlin, open the box and view the sketch together. Sloane                      knows that K-Directorate doesn't know that there are two sketches                      that make the entire code.
Sydney                      meets with special agent Seth Lambert, a senior CIA agent                      who has been assigned as Vaughn's replacement, to go over                      her Berlin assignment...But Sydney takes an intense dislike                      to him, and orders him to get Vaughn back on case...or no                      results!
Arriving                      in Berlin, Sydney is wearing a CIA wire, and is relieved to                      hear Vaughn's voice in her earpiece - he's back. Both SD-6                      and K-Directorate have positioned snipers on the bleachers                      of a stadium, in case either side attemps a double-cross.                      Sydney meets with Anna and exchanges words...an intense psychological                      game is always at play. But when Anna opens the lockbox, both                      agents are horrified, as a sizzling sound emits from inside...
