i think from a writers viewpoint i would have to say, you just cant kill off all sydney's friends... i mean geez. I know they're trying to whittle the world of alias down to a more manageable size, but i think the fact that they're bringing will into the cia more fully now proves that they dont plan to kill him. They're consolidating... now everything in sydneys life has something to do with the cia.
Besides, i smell a massive cat fight coming up where... every since good francie died i've been itchin for a battle royale. I also want charlie to come back and try to get with evil francie.. ha.. that would be great.
