After the scene that followed (and ruined!) the scene we were all waiting for...
"I guess we're not getting that coffee then, huh?"
"No we're not."
"Okay. I'm going to go..."
"Sydney..."
The next day, in the Rotunda...
All of the regular CIA officers are together in the meeting room...Syd, Vaughn, Jack, Weiss, Dixon, Marshall...another mission is given to Sydney and Vaughn.
Dixon tells them, like every other day at the CIA, "Sydney, Vaughn, plane leaves in 1 hour, you'll have plenty of time to read over the mission and optech on the flight over." Sydney and Vaughn exchange their usual uncomfortable, tense, longing, glances, because again, they will be in the field together. Sydney goes to her desk. A few moments later, Vaughn comes quietly behind her with a cup of coffee.
"This would have been much better 12 hours ago, but at least I can use it as a peace offering, since I was hoping to convince you to hear me out." Sydney sighs.
"We don't need a peace offering, I'm not mad at you, I understand."
"But it's obvious that I hurt you. Again."
"I don't blame you for being there for her. It probably would have been wrong for you not to."
"Look, you've been through the same, if not more, than Lauren has." Vaughn sighs and looks away. "She's my wife, at least she thought she was, and I've just told her I don't want to be her husband. And then her father killed himself. Sydney, she's not more important to me than you, but I brought on some of this myself. I'm the first one who hurt her, and her father's the second one."
"I understand."
"Okay, but it's important for me to know, that YOU know, I'm being there for her. I'm not returning to her. I'm not being a husband to her." Sydney looks at him in relief, but still looks doubtful.
"Okay."
"This didn't help at all did it?"
"Vaughn, Lauren's the one who needs you right now."
"She knows that this doesn't fix anything. She knows...she knows, how I feel about you." Sydney looks into his eyes finally. "Have a little faith in me."
Sydney, almost transfixed: "Okay."
-I like to redeem Vaughn anytime I deem necessary! And this is definetly one of those times. I hope I hope I hope that something like this happens next episode. I HOPE Vaughn lets Sydney know that he will eventually go through it anyways.
