Well, since so few are watching SC, I don't think I can call these
spoilers.  And there is enough detail not to call them highlights.  I
hope no one minds - I will add spoiler and control l's if you really want
them.

Whew!  Poor Glory!

Well, Tuesday's episode was another of the 'dark' series that is
tough for me to figure out.  Here goes.  Oh, this probably will be
out of sequence - too many interruptions for me to keep everything
straight.

We see Glory in the net, snakes all around, and the two baldies -
in Ninja gear (ie black shirts, pants, shoes, socks, face masks...) -
trying to get Glory to tell them about the rocket fuel, her drop
points, the equations being used for the heat shield, the use of
the various elements, who Professor Van is, what the face on her blind
is for, etc.  Glory does quite well at attempting to answer their questions,
considering how scared she is (of being tied up, in a net, in a dark cage,
surrounded by snakes, being questioned by two guys in black with knifes
who refuse to believe her...).  Nothing she says convinces them she
is telling the truth.  She doesn't even know what they are talking about!
The men force Glory to give them her book of poems, which she does quite
reluctantly.

Meanwhile, Sydney is putting her note to the Countess into a small bag
just as Mila enters her room.  She starts Mila looking through clothes to
pick out an outfit while she runs off to attend to 'one last detail'.
She stops at the Swan and calls Garrett's.  For some reason, she asks
for Glory - supposedly just in case Garrett's dad answered the phone.
Garrett is too distracted about Glory to talk much.  But after Sydney
leaves the phone, the camera pans up to a Swan on the wall, whose glass
eye 'blinks' several times...

Meanwhile, Garrett, JT, and Neil are seen talking to a 'suit' (ie guy
wearing a suit who looks 'official').  He indicates that normally in
such cases, his agency doesn't get involved so early, 'but the gentleman
who notified us stressed the urgency' - interesting since it was Barek
supposedly who called the authorities.  (Neil has been freaking out since
he realized that the FBI or some other similar agency was being called in -
it is doubtful he is going to be able to maintain a low profile with
investigators digging all around!)  The suit asks the guys about Glory; when
they last saw her, where she was, did JT and Glory have a fight; did
Garrett and Glory have a fight; did anyone and Glory have a fight - 
interestingly enough, no one mentioned Calley and Jimmy's fight to the suit!
The suit asks whether Glory might have been unhappy at home.  Then he
asks if she had any enemies.  While Neil looks VERY uncomfortable, Garrett
just obliviously indicates no.  The suit gives Garrett a card and asks that
if Garrett hears of anything, or wants to tell them anything, to give
him a call.  Garrett wants to know what suit is going to do next - and
gets very little info.

After suit leaves, Garrett, JT and Saja (who just arrives, indicating that
Glory left no traces around the woods) decide to go out and do some more
looking.  Neil volunteers to stay at the house and man the phones.  JT
and Saja take off on motorcycles.

Neil runs off upstairs and starts searching Glory's room, looking for 
something.  He asks himself where a girl would hide something very 
dear to herself.  After digging around under the bed, through boxes, etc.
he finds on the back of JT (or was that Garrett)'s picture another 
notebook taped.  (Hey!  I thought Baldy looked there last night!)
He opens it and we fade to commercial.

Sydney gets back home and shows Mila that she bought a rub on tattoo of
a knife and a snake for Mila.  She promises Mila that tomorrow will be
a day she will not soon forget.  The small bag with the note to the
Countess is no where to be seen now that Sydney has returned.

We get one glimpse of Jimmy at the die shop.  Barek of course is not
there - he is out looking for Glory.  I doubt in fact that Jimmy knows
what is going on yet.  Anyway, he tries on Barek's jacket and starts
'playing' international jewel thief.  He puts on Barek's magnifying
glasses, and while tightening the head band, realizes that they are MORE
than glasses - there is a camera embedded in them!

We see JT and Saja on one of the backroads around Swan's Crossing.  Saja
stops to catch his breath and JT pulls up.  They are just about to 
turn around when Saja notices.... a cotton ball on the road.  This is
the second one he has found on this road - so he convinces JT to continue
on a bit longer.

Our last scene is that of Glory.  The two men question her some more,
make some more threats and then leave her there, in the dark, with the
snakes crawling all around - and it SEEMS to me, (me not being able to
see what's going on all that well) that the ropes on the net holding
Glory are moving a bit like they might be breaking.  Since Glory is being
held OVER a 'pit' of snakes, and she is shown unconscious, asleep, passed
out) it doesn't look good!
