I didn't really like Will that much, but I don't like that he's just been written out as being in the witness protection program.

So the "Covenant" DID have something to do with Sydney's disappearance. The guy she killed in the end said she wasn't easy to break. Sounded like she was tortured and brainwashed. Wonder who they are and what their motives are?

I bet Vaughn's wife will eventually get a lead that Sydney was involved in Sark's father's death, and will pursuit it relentlessly just to get Sydney away from Vaughn.

This episode wasn't as good as the premiere, but still enjoyable.

[Illustrious]

Wow... every time I see Syd and Vaughn together, you can just see the heartache. It's just so upsetting! Terrific acting.

sloane is still a suspicious character.
