"Rendezvous" starts with a bang, as Vaughn gets the Rambaldi solution back but loses Sark in the process, as he was also trying to save (the disguised) Sydney who was at the same time having a fight with Dixon! Sark is captured by SD-6 and forced by Sloane to cooperate with them and lead them to Khasinau. A meeting between Sark and Khasinau is arranged in Paris, where Sydney and an increasingly suspicious of her activities Dixon must replace a blank page from another Rambaldi document with a fake one. However, Paris is also the destination of Will and Jack, who are looking for the source that is pressuring Will to expose SD-6. In a very bold and game-changing move, Will finally discovers the truth about Sydney, as she saves his life in a flurry of kicks and bullets (Sydney has rarely been tougher than she is here). Bradley Cooper gives his best performance on the show up to this point - he shows believable disbelief at what he is experiencing. All the separate story lines come together in a very exciting way. And what a shock at the end! ***1/2 out of 4.
