"Hello Sydney."

"Oh, my God. I don't believe this," Sydney stutters. "Mom?"

"I know I probably weren't the one you were expecting."

"You're dead. I saw you, I saw it happen," Syd tries to rationalize herself. Dixon says something over comms, but Syd is to shocked to hear it.

"Sydney, I'm sorry. I know how difficult it must've been for you to have lost your mother twice, but-"

"No," Syd cuts her off. "Who are you? Irina Derevko died in a fall seven years ago. You're just yet another of her doubles!"

"Sydney, I'm not. I am your mother. I am, sweetheart," Irina says. "We must go, if you'll want Vaughn and Isabelle back."

"You were the one, weren't you? You kidnapped Isabelle – not Elena, she just orchestrated it," Sydney says with resentment.

"Elena found out that you tested Project Christmas on Isabelle, and she's trying to gain her trust," Irina explains as they get into a van.

"Why does she need Isabelle? Just because she was a test subject of Project Christmas? That doesn't make any sense. I mean, there must be hundreds out there who was apart of it. Why Isabelle?"

"Sydney, I need you to look at me, and trust me right now," Irina says.

"Right," Sydney says with doubt.

"Two years ago, when I first came to know that Elena hadn't died in Sevogda, that she had somehow survived, I tracked her down. I learned that she had required a scroll of parchment. Written by Rambaldi only days before he died."

"You gotta be kidding me," Sydney says, not believing her.

"If you want me to help you with this, you'll have to hear me out. We still have thirty minutes to the facility where Elena is. You must know that I tried to prevent this. But you and I have both seen to much, Sydney, to know that the prophecies of Rambaldi will eventually come true. But this one can't."

"What prophecy? What are you talking about?" Syd asks.

"Rambaldi wrote; 'The Chosen One will give birth to a child, that will have the power to finish my final work. Once the child turns ten, she will have altered the world, and she will have found a way to live forever'. Sydney, if we don't stop Elena, in three years, when Isabelle will be ten, no one will survive," Irina says, seeming to fear Isabelle's alleged power.

"If Elena knows that no one will survive, then why is she doing this?"

"Because Elena believes that once she has helped Isabelle endure her fate, and dies, she and Rambaldi will be united within her. Something happend to her after Sevogda. I've never seen her like this before. It's as if she is more obsessed with Rambaldi's endgame than ever."

"How could you not have told me about this?"

"I suppose I could have, but not only was I ordered by Elena not to. I was threatened by someone else not to, as well," Irina says, trying to avoid Sydney's eye.

"This other person, who is that?" Sydney asks.

"I want to tell you, but I hesitate to do so."

"Mom, I need to know," Syd realizes. "Is dad alive?"

"No, Sydney, he's not. But-"

"Well, then who?

"I'm trying to tell you," Irina says irritated. "When Jack died in the cave, he had a belt of explosives. Obviously he knew that since Sloane had become immortal, he had to trap him forever," Irina continues.

"God, don't tell me Sloane's alive!" Sydney pleads.

"No, Sydney. Neither your father, nor Sloane are alive. At least your father isn't. But neither of them are coming back."

"Then who is it?"

"It's…"
