Slumber My Darling (A Picture Article)

She loves him. Is that not what we all were thinking at this moment, Sydney leaning over Vaughn’s bed, tears in her eyes, frightened by the idea that she may lose him? In that moment she knows she loves him, that her feelings for him are more than that of handler and asset, but of friend and ultimately more. It is the first time we, as an audience, are made fully aware of her feelings. Yes, there has been flirting- glances and soft smiles- but this is life and death and faced with that, Sydney let’s her guard down. Remember that Sydney trades Sloane's life for Vaughn's. She hands Sloane over to Sark. That is huge in Alias world!!

I paired this picture with the second one; Vaughn standing in the corridor after chasing Sydney. She is able to save him and after a brief hug and a chat she leaves the floor of the Rotunda. Vaughn, in that moment realizes that he must tell her how he feels, but when he can’t catch her, he seems to know that she knows and is satisfied.

The song playing during the first scene is "Slumber My Darling" by Alison Krauss. The song is so sweet, much like their last moment before Sydney goes on mission. In the second scene, the song playing is Sheryl Crow's "I Will Believe." Oh, I just love that song!!

These pictures appears in 2.07 “Counteragent” and was suggested by Sidewinder. Thanks!
