Bluffing (?)
1 October 2009 | by See all my reviews

Sydney returns to Los Angeles with Dixon shot and in critical condition. Based on her "too perfect" results on the lie detector test, Sloane suspects that she may be a double agent, and orders her assassination after the completion of her latest mission - or does he? His bluff completely tricks the viewer, but not Jack Bristow, who insists that the CIA should not get involved and expose Sydney, despite agent Vaughn's intense objections. Meanwhile, Will Tippin's story finally seems to be going somewhere, as he receives obscure instructions from an unknown person who can hear him through the bug that he found in Eloise Kurtz's car. Tobin Bell returns as the supremely creepy security officer Dreyer - when he shares a scene with Sloane, their combined creepiness is off the charts. Sydney has practically no action scenes in this episode, but she does get to do a little parachuting! *** out of 4.
