At the CIA, a depressed Sydney confers with Vaughn. Marshall begins
receiving top-secret info — Irina is uploading the double's DNA, as she
said she would. Syd then tells Will that he's been cleared because the
downloaded DNA doesn't match his, it's from one H.E. Doren.

While Syd is unwinding at an ice rink, Irina shows up to call in her favor.
Syd attacks but Irina throws her down and reveals the whole of her plan.
Sloane had 23 Rambaldi artifacts, she says, and the CIA had 24. They had
to be put together in order to work so she proposed to Sloane that they
work together to defeat The Alliance and raid the CIAs storage facility,
which is in an NSA lab in Nevada. Her favor — she simply wants Syd to raid
a warehouse in Zurich where Sloane hides the Rambaldi artifacts.

Sark and Francie meet, and he calls her Allison. He says they can't reverse
the doubling process because Markovic's lab has been destroyed. Sark says
they'll get her back and they kiss.

Will investigates and finds the name Allison Georgia Doren on a list of
children involved in Project Christmas. She was supposed to have died in a
car accident as a child. Will calls Doren's parents and finds that her
body was never identified.

In Zurich, Syd and a team raid the warehouse. Rather than Rambaldi
artifacts, they find kitchen appliances stuffed in crates.

While transporting the Di Regno heart, Jack is attacked and captured by
Sloane, who reveals that in 24 hours the final Rambaldi machine,
called "The Telling," will be complete. He speaks almost mystically,
referring to a "change." Jack, venomous, pities the void in Sloane's life.
For his part, Sloane says they're still friends.

Irina calls Syd and says Sloane switched the crates. She doesn't know where
he is but Sark, hiding in a Stockholm club, does. Although Syd doesn't
trust her, she and Vaughn go and do, indeed, find Sark. Weasel that he is,
Sark quickly offers up Sloane, saying that he and Jack are in Mexico City.
Later, from a CIA prison cell, he directs them to Sloane's hideout.

The CIA team storms an office building and engages in a gunbattle. Dixon
finds Jack. Irina appears, and while she seems to be on Sydney's side, Syd
runs after her while Vaughn goes after Sloane. Syd confronts her on the
skyscraper's rooftop and threatens to kill her. Irina says that Sloane
believes he's been chosen to realize the word of Rambaldi. Only Syd can
stop him, Irina says, because she — not Sloane — is the chosen one of the
prophecy. "I love you," Irina says, and jumps. Holding on to a bungee
cord, she shoots out windows and swings back into the building to escape.

At home, Will finds Provacillium — the medicine needed to counteract the
buildup of proteins in the double's eyes — at nearly the same time that
Francie sees Will's file on Allison Doren. Having finally discovered the
truth, Will makes a quick phone call to Syd and leaves a voicemail
identifying Francie as the second double. It's too late, though. Francie
attacks Will and she stabs him. He crumples to the floor.

Later, Syd comes home and retrieves her messages while relaxing in the den
with Francie. Keeping a poker face, Syd offers Francie a scoop of coffee
ice cream. Francie accepts, and Syd knows — the real Francie hated coffee
ice cream. Syd goes to her bedroom to get her gun but Francie confronts
her before she can. They engage in a no-holds-barred brawl. After much
carnage, Syd finally shoots Francie and collapses from exhaustion.

Syd wakes in Hong Kong wearing different clothes and appearing confused and
worried. She calls Kendall, who directs her to a safe house. She arrives
there and notices a scar on her stomach. Vaughn arrives and appears out of
sorts. He says Will is okay. He's shaken, he says, because he thought she
was dead. He's come back to explain. Sydney notices that he's wearing a
wedding ring. Reluctantly he tells her that she's been missing for almost two years.
