{{Sidebar |name = Fait Accompli |image = 507.jpg |season = 5 |episode = 7 |airdate = November 17 2005 |code = 507 |writer = [[Andi Bushell]] |director = [[Richard Coad]] }} '''Fait Accompli''' is the 7th episode of [[Season 5]] of ''[[Alias]]'', and the 95th episode overall. [[Sydney]] and [[APO]] attempt to discover whom [[Gordon Dean]] is working for and what their end game is. Meanwhile, when the group, claiming to have a cure for his daughter [[Nadia]], continues to play mind games with him, [[Sloane]] struggles for control. ==Plot Overview== A very pregnant [[Sydney]] chats with a university chancellor in Rome while [[Renee Rienne]] tries to break into the building's underground storage facility. Sydney feigns exhaustion and asks for a glass of water, affording her the chance to steal and duplicate one of his key. She sends the template to Renee electronically. Renee soon finds [[Dean]]'s package - and another man about to steal it. She kicks his butt, grabs it and meets Sydney outside. In her apartment, Sydney discusses with [[Rachel Gibson|Rachel]] the mysterious keycard that is meant for one port among billions. Delivery men arrive with Sydney's baby's crib yet to be assembled. She sadly reveals to Rachel how she envisioned this moment to be very different from what had turned out. She leaves the crib disassembled. After [[Sloane]] receives word from [[Nadia]]'s doctor that she has no hope for recovery, he gets a call from Gordon Dean demanding his keycard. Later, Sloane apologizes and confesses to [[Jack]] and Sydney that he had been working with Dean. When Jack asks him what changed his mind, Sloane admits that he was hoping that Dean could help find a cure for Nadia. Now that he knows she's untreatable, he is more than willing to help them bait Dean with the keycard. In a racetrack at Dubai, [[Thomas Grace|Tom]] and [[Dixon]] take out Dean's men while Sloane hands Dean the keycard. Suspicious, he takes Sloane hostage. The [[APO]] team loses track of them when the track's PA system jams their transmissions. Rachel finds them in an empty stable and knocks Dean unconscious with a shovel. When Sydney interrogates him, he says the keycard will grant them access to his anonymous boss' communication hub. After revealing that the card will expire in 12 hours, Dean offers to work with them in exchange for immunity and protection. Sydney injects him with a drug to encourage him to talk more freely. Meanwhile, Sloane meets with a man named [[Joseph Ehrmann|Ehrmann]], who asks him to eliminate Dean. Sloane refuses. On cue, Sloane's receives a phone call regarding Nadia's condition. He arrives at the hospital to see Nadia waking from her five-month coma. She begins convulsing, however, and must be injected with a sedative and returns to her comatose state. In the APO office, Dean reveals that the communication hub is located on top of the Glenheim Tower, and says that the watchman can help. He also apologizes for killing [[Michael Vaughn]] and warns Sydney that his bosses have plans for her. In Seattle, Dixon and Tom arrive at the tower and plug the access keycard in a port. As they uplink to [[Marshall Flinkman|Marshall]], he discovers that many of the organizations in the database are part of global governments. Marshall is then locked out of the system and presented with a riddle. Sydney recalls that Dean mentioned a "watchman" who can help. Sloane slips inside Dean's interrogation room. Dean says he has the access code and can help take down [[Prophet 5|Prophet Five]], but Sloane forces him to swallow a cyanide pill. Sydney discovers his corpse. Sitting inside a car, [[Kelly Peyton|Peyton]] and Ehrmann drink to her success. He confirms that she now has Dean's operations and warns her of double crossing them. Ehrmann gets out of the car briefly and meets with Sloane, who confirms the assassination. When Sloane asks when Nadia will be cured, Ehrmann says that they will need more from Sloane -and points out that Sloane now has hope for Nadia's return. Frustrated and helpless, Sloane watches him leave. In Sydney's apartment, Jack helps Sydney build her baby's crib. Sydney says that taking down the 12 sources making up Prophet Five will be a challenge since they are embedded inside a global government. Jack remains encouraging and tells her that they've already started their long journey. ==Cast== ===Starring=== * [[Jennifer Garner]] as [[Sydney Bristow]] * [[Ron Rifkin]] as [[Arvin Sloane]] * [[Carl Lumbly]] as [[Marcus Dixon]] * [[Kevin Weisman]] as [[Marshall Flinkman]] * [[Rachel Nichols]] as [[Rachel Gibson]] *[[Élodie Bouchez|Elodie Bouchez]] as [[Renée Rienne]] * [[Balthazar Getty]] as [[Thomas Grace]] * and [[Victor Garber]] as [[Jack Bristow]] ===Special Guest Star=== * [[Mia Maestro]] as [[Nadia Santos]] === Guest Starring === *[[Angus Macfadyen]] as [[Joseph Ehrmann]] *[[Amy Acker]] as [[Kelly Peyton]] *[[Tyrees Allen]] as [[Gordon Dean]] *[[Jay Huguley]] as Dr. [[Peter Marks]] *[[Keone Young]] as [[Choy|Professor Choy]] === Co-Starring === *[[Alex Ball]] as Delivery Man *[[Lorenzo Caccialanza]] as Chancellor *[[Ali Dean]] as Arab Sheik *[[Carl Gilliard]] as Agent #1 ==Trivia== *Gordon Dean says, 'Get a pen.
