georgine asks: What can you tell us about the next episode of Alias?
Kristin replies: Dixon's finally a REAL good guy, as he's welcomed into the CIA. FINALLY, more Lena Olin … she'll be very prevalent in this ep, as she helps Jack try to catch Sloane (I'm still thinking she's working WITH him, but anyway, bygones …) and also share a few tender moments with her daughter. Also, of course, the drama of Vaughn possibly being a traitor (noooooooooooooooooooooooo!) is played out. Don't believe it for a nanosecond.

beckygene asks: Have you heard the rumor that Debra Messing will guest star on Alias?
Kristin replies: Yes, but so far, I haven't been able to find any sort of confirmation. I'd take it with a grain of salt (pot, meet kettle) because the rumor was started on IMDB, which is mostly user- generated information. According to them, a 14-year old actress named Maria Hatzis as "Delia Vaughn" and Will and Grace's Debra Messing as "Katherine Vaughn."
-----
Kristin: Far more reliable are the rumors that Richard Lewis will come on the show … he's in this Sunday's episode, playing an agent who gives Sydney info that makes her question Vaughn's loyalties.

Alias: In "A Dark Turn" episode 668, Sark's double is revealed. He is a Spanish speaker from Panama, at least until the genetic re-engineering. Alias is also looking for a new semi-regular cast member, Gadget Girl, who is a hip and funky techie, one I pray will fall for Marshall.

Sydney is being interrogated by Mitchell Yeager, a Counterintelligence Threat Analyst for the CIA. She has to sign a confidentiality agreement with her thumbprint; it's a felony if she talks to anyone about this. He starts asking her questions about Vaughn, whether she saw him use a pay phone or buy cigarettes when they were on a mission in France and how long he was out of her sight in Cayo Concha and if they're intimate. Syd says it's none of his business to the last one. Yeager says it has come to their attention that Vaughn has been in contact with "a number of unapproved foreign operatives" and that he's been trying to contact a former KGB assassin named Progroski with ties to terrorist organizations.
Will has a nightmare about telling Francie about him and Sydney working for the CIA. When he wakes up (next to Francie), he's in a cold sweat. The next morning, he goes into the kitchen and finds Vaughn eating breakfast and reading the paper. Will tells him about the nightmare, and Vaughn says it's an anxiety dream that's pretty common for new recruits. Will says it was a horrible thing to feel that he was selling out the CIA. "And we're TIGHT ON Vaughn, who hears this... then goes back to the paper -- and in that moment we can't tell: is that just his innocent reaction? Or was that a guilty man hiding his own secrets?"
In Hong Kong, Jack and Irina are posing as U.N. inspectors. Different scene: Jack and Kendall discuss Sark taking the bait and wanting to meet Irina to discuss the sale of the Rambaldi manuscript. Jack says he'll set it up in Panama.
Irina studies the Rambaldi manuscript (a study of the human heart) in her cell. Syd comes in and says she heard they were going to Panama. Irina sees that she's troubled, but Syd says she just didn't sleep well last night. Syd wonders if they'll really get Sloane. Irina says setting the trap will be dangerous, and in case she doesn't come back, she wants Syd to know that she loves her. She tells Syd that she doesn't have to respond. Syd is touched and afraid for Irina, and assures her that she'll be coming back.
