Storyline

Sydney and Vaughn tell Jack about Sloane's alleged involvement in Vaughn's search for his father and Irina's contract on Sydney's life. After cornering Sloane, they both conclude that someone is framing him. The APO team set a trap to catch the fake A. Sloane, but they fail. Once they realize what "Arvin Clone" is after, Sloane suggests to step down, temporarily. However, Sydney reluctantly convinces him to stay on the case, since he may the only person able to anticipate "Arvin Clone"'s next move. But Nadia fears that this pursuit may revive her father's past obsession: Rambaldi.

Sloane goes into the field

After the events in the previous episode Sydney and Vaughn are convinced that Sloane is working against them; they bring their concerns to Jack who in turn confronts Sloane. After this meeting Jack is sure of Sloane's innocence but to prove it he arranges for Roberts, the man who said Arvin Sloane had employed him to trick Vaughn into believing his father was alive, to identify Sloane, of course when he sees the real Sloane he can't identify him. Mean while the fake Sloane has kidnapped Dr. Dr. Maggie Sinclair in order to complete a Rambaldi device; the problem is they are still missing the coil. When the real Sloane learns what the impostor is doing he sends Roberts to meet him with the coil but the meeting goes badly, Roberts is killed and the coil is taken. In order to catch the impostor Sloane must go into the field with Sydney, something Nadia is worried about; her father was driven to the brink of madness by his obsession with Rambaldi, the last thing he needs is to get involved again. When they get there it looks as if Nadia's fears were correct, Sloane gets that obsessed look in his eye when he gets close to the device.

It was good to see the story get back to Sloane's obsession with Rambaldi, although I almost felt sorry for him when he got involved again, it was like an addict falling off the wagon. Ron Rifkin plays the character brilliantly, he may not be involved in dramatic action like Sydney but Sloane has a charisma that makes his character more interesting. Joel Grey who played the impostor also did a good job mimicking the mannerisms of Sloane and Michelle Forbes but in a fine guest performance as Dr. Sinclair.
