In
Berlin, a helicopter lifts an elevator carrying two CIA agents out
of its shaft. Satisfied that Syd is not brainwashed, Jack dissuades
her from admitting to the CIA that she killed Lazarey. Later, Weiss
helps Syd move in to a neighbouring apartment. He says that Vaughn
was reluctant to return to the CIA.
The team learns The Covenant, a loose affiliation of Russian
nationals, is behind the kidnapping. They will execute the
men unless their demands
are met. Syd volunteers to retrieve a package in a Munich adult movie
theatre. Dixon informs Syd of a therapy group for those who
have lost their memory. Jack tells Syd that she was cremated
and Vaughn spread her ashes at sea.

In
the theatre, Syd opens the package — it's the head of one
of the CIA agents. Shoved in his mouth is a note demanding the
CIA exchange Sark for
the remaining agent. Syd objects but Lindsey says Sark has no more
secrets and, based on info provided by Sloane, believes they want
to kill him.
Syd visits Vaughn at his classroom; he's a French teacher. She
tells him she could cope with his return to the Agency. After
her death,
Vaughn says, he lost control and started drinking. He was deeply
in love with her, but he doesn't regret moving on with his life.
Jack confronts Sloane, doubting his redemption and blaming him
for Syd's disappearance. Jack offers to stop his efforts to invalidate
Sloane's pardon if he gives details. Sloane gives Jack a disc
with his own leads into Syd's death. Despite Sloane's denials,
Jack
says
he'll bury Sloane for his involvement.
In
a CIA jail, Sark denies knowledge of Syd's death. At the exchange
in the Sonora desert, Sark is unsure why The Covenant wants
him. The trade is interrupted by a Lindsey-ordered Delta Force
helicopter.
In the confusion, Sark and the CIA agent, a scientist, are
taken by the Covenant. Syd later threatens Lindsey in the men's
room
for pulling that stunt. A man named Ushek San'ko says that
Sark killed
his brother, and demands $800 million. He says Sark, unbeknownst
to him, is worth that much. Vaughn is reinstated while Jack
discovers that Sark and San'ko withdrew $800 million in gold
bullion from
a Grand Cayman bank. The money belonged to Lazarey, a murdered
Russian
diplomat and descendant of the Romanov family. When he died,
it went to his son … Mr. Sark.
Weiss tracked the scientist to a Frankfurt nightclub, run by
Otto Edel, a drug dealer. Jack believes The Covenant is responsible
for Syd's two year absence and compelled her to assassinate
Lazareey. He's contacts Irina, who offers her help.
At the club, Syd poses as a chemist offering to triple Edel's
sales by making his drug more addictive. She threatens to
overdose him,
but he locates the alarm terminal. Vaughn remotely helps
her deactivate the alarm. Syd opens the torture room where
the
scientist is held,
shoots the torturer. The dying torturer remembers her, said
she kept her promise to kill him. He says that she was his
favourite
because
she never broke.
At therapy, others discuss their amnesia and ensuring nightmares.
Syd later interrupts Dixon to tell him that although she
still has feelings for Vaughn, she won't be a part of the
group.
Dixon introduces
Syd to the woman to whom he was speaking, Lauren Reed,
the new NSC liaison, who'll be investigating Lazarey's murder.
She is
also Michael
Vaughn's wife.
