SD-6 are the bad guys, her father has been misleading her about his own identity for years and her fiance is dead because of SD-6.<\/p>\n<p>*: More details on the show, <a href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/alias\/\">visit here.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_97\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97\" style=\"width: 198px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97\" title=\"Victor Garber as Jack Bristow in Alias\" src=\"http:\/\/zoeyclark.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/08\/all-the-time-in-the-world-20060523034321178-000.jpg?w=198&#038;resize=198%2C300\" alt=\"all-the-time-in-the-world-20060523034321178-000\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-97\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Victor Garber as Jack Bristow in Alias<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li> * So she\u00a0goes to the real CIA, and joined their quest in bringing SD-6 down. And She\u00a0starts to have \u00a0feelings for\u00a0her CIA\u00a0handler: Michael Vaughn. (Michael Vartan)- The feelings are mutual and growing stronger everyday but there\u00a0is\u00a0no way Vaughn and Syd can be seen together. If they were, SD-6 will kill them both. Oh and CIA will not be so pleased either&#8230;<\/li>\n<li> * Oh, and Syd learns that her mother wasn&#8217;t a primary school teacher who died in a car-crash as she was led to believe. Her mother-played by Lena Olin- was\u00a0 KGB. She was sent to USA to seduce and marry a CIA operative. But before they learned teh truth, the evidence kind of pointed towards her dad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>*Michael has to sit in the office while Sydney risks her life on every mission. He sometimes has to risk his career and\/or his life to get her out of trouble. Although she is great at her job, sometimes she has to undergo unauthorized operations to satisfy her own curiousity or save her dad&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0\u00a0Michael knows everything about her, yet\u00a0their conversations usually take place in CIA storage rooms. They can not go out. They do help out each other with risk operations that are dangerous and personal. They have complete faith in each other. But their most romantic lines can only be: &#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;ll break into the Vatican with you.&#8221; They can not go see a movie but they do get to diffuse a\u00a0bomb together. How romantic and safe.<\/p>\n<p>*\u00a0\u00a0At the end of season 1, Michael drowns. Or so Syd thinks. She has to go through a painful period-and so do we- when she thinks all is lost, while trying to make CIA thinks there is nothing going on between her and Michael. While they are not acting on their feelings, they both want to be like two normal people, having a chance to date.<\/p>\n<p>* Season 2 finally gives them a chance to get together.
