Sydney testifies before a CIA panel, claiming that Jack saved her from a
trap engineered by Irina. Finding Irina's earrings in her now-empty cell,
Sydney thanks Jack for saving her life.

In Vienna, SD-6's Austrian connection Neils Haber is murdered by Triad — a
coaltion of drug and flesh peddlers nove moving into weapon sales — for
selling intel. He had said Triad was developing 16 "next generation"
weapons hidden in a bomb shelter under the Magistrate's Bureau in
Budapest. Sydney's SD-6 mission is to photograph the weapons and retrieve specs.

Vaughn, who has now lost countermission approval to Jack, angers Sydney
when he suggests that Jack had set up Irina during the Madagascar mission.
At Francie's restaurant opening, Jack gives Syd her countermission — to
hack into the computer, steal the files for the CIA, and download dummy
files for SD-6. He also tells her that Irina is facing the death penalty
for breaking her agreement with the CIA.

Vaughn speaks to Manolo Souza, a US national being held for transporting
explosives in Madagascar. Souza tells Vaughn that he was working for Jack,
confirming Vaughn's suspicions.

In Budapest, Syndey, wearing a blond wig and glasses, infiltrates the
Magistrate's Bureau by claiming to be working on her family tree. She
hacks the computer and downloads the files, but when Dixon leads her to
the research room, she finds a man instructing young students how to
assemble a gun. The weapons are children!

Sloane explains that they're being trained as sleeper agents. European
standardized tests locate the brightest children, who are then given a
month-long training program that's erased from their memory and sent back
home. Supposedly, the KGB was developing a similar program in the 80s.

Sloane tells Jack that Emily's name was forged on a B&B registry weeks
after her death. He admits that he poisoned her with sodium morphate, but
only after doctors confirmed that her lymphoma would return. He asks Jack
to find out who else was in the running for Alliance membership. At home,
Sloane finds a glass of wine ominously waiting for him. When he has the
wine analyzed, he finds that it contains VTX, an antidote to sodium
morphate that simulates death.

At the CIA, Vaughn identifies the instructor as former KGB psych ops agent
Valerie Kolakov. Against Jack's wishes, Sydney offers to get Kolakov,
who's now in Buenos Aires. Later, Vaughn tells Jack that he'll go to
Sydney if Jack doesn't tell her about Madagascar.

In Buenos Aires, Kolakov attacks Syd with a stun gun but is electrocuted
when she throws him into water. She finds a spatial relations puzzle and
completes it in seconds. When Sydney undergoes hypnosis back home, she
sees herself giving a gun to her father! Syd confronts Jack with her
memories — Irina's mission was to uncover "Project Christmas," a plan Jack
developed to train kids to become American spies. Syd claims that Jack has
been afraid she would figure it all out. "You programmed me to be a spy,"
she says, "I will never forgive you for this."
