14. I See Dead People

Complete story — includes the ending

Sydney gives Nadia's eulogy. The ME finds circuitry inside Renée's corpse. Marshall discovers "André Michaux" on the thirty-year-old corrupted chip (Prophet Five listens-in, contacting Peyton). Anna-as-Sydney replaces Nepali guide Nabin with another, misdirecting Sydney. Marshall discovers Sloane passively surveils phones; Jack warns Sydney she's "compromised." Disabling Fake-Nabin, Sydney shoots an ambusher; Anna-Syd shoots Sydney's tire, takes the chip, and destroys her SUV. Recalling his childhood accident, Vaughn has Anna-Syd extract his chip-half, revealing a German Cold War COG bunker. Conning a Hamburg jeweler, Vaughn finds an evidence board and intel gathered on Prophet Five by Michael's and Rienne's fathers. Vaughn, "Who are you?" Anna-Syd fires...click. They fight. Sydney kills Anna-Syd, saving Vaughn. Posing as Anna-Syd, Sydney tells Kelly, "Complications." Kelly, "And Sydney?" Sydney, "She's dead. This is what they found inside Renée." Kelly, "the rest should be easy." Meanwhile, Grace decodes Business Opportunities: "contact made awaiting response," replying via classifieds. Kelly pressures Sloane to decipher Page 47. Kelly's sent, unwittingly, to Geneva for Pinara's manuscript (Sloane's agent-to-agent contact protocol). Nadia's ghost haunts, taunting, how much longer Sloane can deceive (having already decoded it), mocking belief in "fate? You were chosen?" Sloane lights a votive candle; Sark retrieves Sloane's dead-drop matchbook.
