Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Sloane makes a deal with Irina for the Rambaldi sphere in exchange for two nuclear missiles he bought with the assets of the murdered members of Prophet Five and are to be targeted at two cities with high civilian concentrations. However, Vaughn gets Sark to end the countdown.

• Sloane is tracked to a Mongolian cave which rests Rambaldi's burial chamber. He places the Rambaldi sphere atop his tomb and above it appears the red hovering ball. Sydney grabs the sphere and the liquid from the hovering ball splatters. This winds up being the recipe for immortality as Sloane discovers.

Characters

• Sloane shoots Jack, leaving him mortally wounded. In retaliation, Sydney shoots Sloane in the head, killing him. After Jack convinces Sydney to leave him, Jack finds that Sloane has been revived and is now immortal. He does his best to prevent him from hurting Sydney by blowing himself up, which causes a cave-in that leaves Sloane trapped. Even the apparition of Nadia leaves him.

• Sydney confronts Irina and during their fight, Irina falls onto a glass skylight. Despite Sydney's pleas, Irina attempts to take the Rambaldi sphere, which causes her to crash through and to her death.

• Peyton is captured.

• Sark tries to work a deal for the codes to shut down the launch, but Vaughn demands the codes and then a negotiation. It's later revealed that Vaughn let Sark go and he is still in the game.

• In a flash forward set about seven years later, Sydney and Vaughn now have a boy named Jack, Carrie and Marshall have four boys, and Dixon is Deputy Director at the CIA. While Rachel is still working for the CIA, it's implied that Sydney and Vaughn have left, but are occasionally approached for assignments.
