Sydney goes undercover as an earthy social worker and Vaughn as a lascivious, semi-tipsy priest to track down a deadly new bio-weapon. Meanwhile, Sydney is frightened when Vaughn's inner-demons regarding deceased wife Lauren come to the surface, and Nadia turns to a reluctant Jack to learn truths about her mother.

(From ABC)
With Vaughn and Dixon covering, Syd tries to buy a bio-weapon called Ice 5 from an American at a foreign bazaar. When thugs disrupt the deal, Syd bolts with the man. As they're running, his leg snaps off. He's then shot - and literally explodes.

Marshall later determines that the biological agent, which the man had swallowed, actually "freeze-dried" him, crystallized him from the inside. He worked as a relief worker in Montenegro hospital run by Fenton Keene, who secretly developed Ice 5. Sloane wants the team to obtain a viable sample of Ice 5.

At Syd's home, Nadia finds a photo of Irina holding a baby. Nadia asks Sloane who the baby in the picture is. He dodges the question.

Syd visits the hospital as a representative of Omnifam and does the grunt work, while Weiss and Nadia put together a list of potential buyers. A patient comes in showing symptoms of Ice 5 infection but the nurse, Kyra MacLane, says he was in a car accident and won't let Syd help treat him.

Vaughn, disguised as a priest with a black eye, flirts with MacLane and convinces her to make confession. Fenton appears, tells Vaughn that he's her brother and asks to see the man in the car accident. Meanwhile, Syd swipes MacLane's card key and passes it to Dixon, who makes a copy and gives it to Syd.

Syd searches the lab and finds 14 tanks of Ice 5. To her horror, she spies Fenton testing it on human subjects. Weiss reports that they found a buyer in Damascus. They find MacLane is really Fenton's sister, and that they're both former IRA. Vaughn feels she can be turned and approaches her during confession.

When they meet, MacLane says her brother has done awful things. With Syd listening in, Vaughn tells MacLane that he's haunted by thoughts of his former wife, whom he killed after she betrayed him. MacLane realizes Vaughn is government. He tells her that he can protect her from her brother should she turn on him.

MacLane takes Vaughn to the lab, where Fenton clobbers him. He's forces MacLane to inject Ice 5 into Vaughn's eye. Syd enters and rescues Vaughn. During the fight, Fenton stabs his sister by accident. She dies in Vaughn's arms, but forgives him before passing.

Jack asks Nadia for the photograph. He said Irina told her she was holding her niece. The next day, he recalls, he proposed. He says he chooses to believe it's true, but says that everyone needs to find our own sense of closure.

On the return flight, Syd, sensing a disconnect, tells Vaughn he can talk to her whenever he wants.
