- DirectorJack BenderStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanThe entire world of 'ALIAS' is turned upside down. Sloane disappears mysteriously and Anthony Geiger becomes the new head of SD-6. As the Bristows struggle to keep their secrets safe and stay one step ahead of Geiger, Will and Francie make a startling discovery of their own while Francie prepares to open her new restaurant. After an airborne mission, Sydney uncovers crucial information that could shut down SD-6 and bring down the entire Alliance.Amazing!!! Finally the big showdown we've been waiting for. That could've made a great finale, except it happens mid-season and with a shocking cliff-hanger.
- DirectorLawrence TrillingStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanWhile trying to retrieve a bomb, Sydney and Vaughn are ambushed by unidentified assailants. Meanwhile, Lauren and Sark continue to solidify their new partnership as the new leaders of the Covenant. Sloane divulges a dark secret to CIA therapist Dr. Judy Barnett about his past involving Sydney and Irina Derevko. Also, Marshall shows the strains of new fatherhood.The narrative was excellently structured. Lauren and Sark make an awesome evil couple.
- DirectorKen OlinStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanSydney is heavily questioned by the FBI concerning her past and her current activities at SD-6. Fearing that the FBI might detain her longer, Jack and Vaughn must find a way to make her escape before she blows her cover with SD-6...Great character development and revelation.
- DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanSydney must confront her mother, who tells a clue about "some Rambaldi artifacts" in Zurich, but it was a trap to capture Jack. As Sloane keeps Jack hostage, Vaughn and Sydney go to Stockholm to capture Sark, who reveals the hideout in Mexico City. Meanwhile, Tippin discovers that Francie is in fact a "double" and is the one who framed him...Great departure for Irina and awesome fight between Sydney and not-Francie, and a shocking twist ending.
- DirectorKen OlinStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanLauren stages a stunning betrayal by impersonating Sydney and blowing up the CIA offices to steal classified materials, and nearly killing Marshall in the process. But Sark is captured during Lauren's escape, and Sydney decides to play the impersonating game herself to learn where Laura is heading off too. Meanwhile, Vaughn comes face to face with his darkest demons in pursuit of his traitorous wife. Nadia must decide whether or not she can trust her father, Sloane, in the pursuit of Rambaldi's most priceless artifact and escape from CIA custody. During a mission to South Africa at a Rimbaldi artifact dig, Sydney has a some help and hindrance from Katya Derevko, as well as a final one-on-one fight with Lauren. Afterwards, Sydney receives a shattering revelation from Lauren that will make her question everything (and everyone) she thought she could trust.Used to be my favourite, but I can see it's not the best. But it's a great finale for Season 3, and great conclusion to Lauren's character.
- DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanSydney Bristow discovers that her job as an agent for SD-6, a top-secret division of the CIA, is not what she thought it was. Sydney's father, Jack, also tells her the truth about his work and she, enraged, seeks help from real CIA and is hired as their double agent under the command of Agent Vaughn. From now on, her job is really simple: she needs to complete her cases at SD-6 while reporting her findings back to the CIA.Brilliant way to start off the show. With it's non-linear storyline going back-and-forth between Sydney juggling her personal life with being a spy and tragic discovery of betrayal to a pink-haired Sydney being held captive.
- DirectorLawrence TrillingStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanIn this episode, Sydney finally learns the shocking truth about her missing two years from an unlikely source: FBI Special Officer Kendall. Kendall whisks her away and talks to her from the privacy of an airborne 757 jet. According to Kendall, Sydney was captured by the Covenant after her fight with Francie/Allison, held captive in Russia for over a year and brainwashed to become an assassin. But Sydney only pretended to be brainwashed and contacted Kendall who became her contact and handler, thus giving him information about the Covenant and about their quest for Rambaldi artifacts. Sydney also staged the murder of Andrian Lazarey, and then deliberately had her memory erased to prevent the Covenant from knowing about secrets she had learned about Rambaldi's findings.Great explanation to where Sydney has been for the last 2 years.
- DirectorLawrence TrillingStarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinMichael VartanJack, Sydney, Irina, Vaughn and Nadia parachute into Sovogda, Russa to dismantle the giant floating red ball of the Circumfrence which is turning people into mindless, red-eyed zombies out to kill. Back at APO, Marshall and Weiss try use the Blackwell Index to blackmail the Russian defense minister into giving them the access codes to a Russian satellite before the local authorities plan to drop a nuclear bomb on the city to destroy it and prevent the spread of the contagion, and they also discover that Elena is up linking the satellite. In the ruins of the city, a CIA agent, Brodien (the one whom Sydney rescued from Shanghai in the season opener) reminds them that the Rambaldi device is broadcasting a sub audible frequency that physiologically alters people who drink the water-like fluid that has infected the city's water supply and it is irreversible. At the same time, Elena learns of the APO team's arrival and sends Sloane and her men to go out to kill them, leading to a three-way war between Elena's henchman, the APO group, and the zombies leading to Nadia becoming infecting and having a final one-on-one confrontation with Sydney atop a building with the red ball Circumference in the balance.Great finale to a pretty mediocre season.

Williams Jr.StarsJennifer GarnerRon RifkinCarl LumblyOne month later, with Sydney on maternity leave, she gets forced back into the field when her old enemy, Anna Espinosa, returns after she's secretly sprung from prison by Peyton who gives her a job offer to work for Prophet Five whose leaders have secretly contact with Sloan to get him to set up Sydney in exchange for getting the cure for Nadia.

Sydney, along with APO, is forced to try to find Anna and save Will before he's killed unaware that Prophet Five has bigger plans for Syd, to take a sample of her DNA.The 100th episode, celebrates the show by bringing back Bradley Cooper as Will.
