David Anders' expressions made that episode. I kept rewinding to replay that quietly mortified "yesiknowsoshutup" look.

The only season of Alias I watched regularly was s3, and I have kind of loved Sark in all his stages. But the Sark we know now, who has a knack of making seriously bad choices where women are involved, who falls harder than he ought, who has a habit of underestimating his opponents...he's more interesting to write than the flawless assassin.
