------------------
Sunday, Dec. 1 at 9/8c
"Passage — Part I"

Sydney, Jack and Irina must put aside their differences and go
undercover as a loving family in order to seize six nuclear warheads
from an unfriendly nation. Meanwhile, Sloane announces to a suspicious
staff that Mr. Sark will be working with SD-6; Vaughn may be forced to
fire Will from his CIA research assignment; and Sloane is contacted by
an unknown group claiming that Emily is still alive.

Thanks to ABC.

2: Latest Episode Summary: “Counteragent”
------------------
Vaughn wraps his bloody fingernails and heads to Irina's cell. She
thanks him for proving Jack's involvement in Madagascar. Vaughn admits
he's sick and asks Irina what Khasinau learned from experimenting on
people exposed to the Red Ball. Irina asks if he loves Sydney, to which
Vaughn replies that he'll tell her if she helps him.

Will tells Sydney that the 1982 standardized test is missing from public
record. Sydney then explains "Project Christmas" and says that Vaughn
thinks Russian intelligence is still running it to recruit American
sleepers.

At the CIA, Sydney, having learned that Vaughn is sick, asks Irina if
there is an antidote. It's in Paldiski, Estonia, she says, at a former
Soviet training base for nuclear submarine personnel. But the antidote
is genetic-specific, meaning Sydney must manufacture it from Vaughn's
blood. With Vaughn now in the hospital and expected to live only three
days, Sydney draws his blood and they hold hands. On her way out, Sydney
meets Alice, Vaughn's girlfriend.

Sloane confesses to Jack that he's insecure about his standing within
the Alliance and that he confessed the Emily issue to Kristof, whom he
must now meet in Tokyo. He tortures Richter, desperately trying to find
the location of Derevko's ops base.

6: Articles
------------------
Here are a select few Alias articles from around the web:

This first one is spoilerish, so skip to the next article if you don’t
want to read spoilers. All I can say is It’s about Weiss and if he is or
is not coming back alive. It is archived here:
http://aliasforum.omahost.net/index.php?ac...t=ST&f=16&t=789


The next one if from a list of five of TV’s biggest surprises this fall,
as ranked by Entertainment Weekly. The fact that Alias isn’t a large hit
comes in at #5. It is archived here:
http://aliasforum.omahost.net/index.php?ac...st=0#entry13053


TechTV has an interesting article about the gadgets on Alias, which you
can read here:

Last (but not least) is a review of “Counteragent” by ScoopMe.com. Read

7: Make it Better?
------------------

I’m interested in hearing from some you (the over 700 subscribers to The
Alias Newsletter) on what you think would make The Alias Newsletter
better. As we continue to grow, I’m always working on ways to improve.
For one thing, I’ve decided to try and always try to come out on
Mondays. This is because I can give you information on the latest Alias
episode. However, it’s sometimes hard for me to make this “deadline”
because of school.

Anyway, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me at
char-@allalias.com . I always love hearing from other fans.
