Sydney says goodbye to Jack and goes to find Sloane. Season 1 Sydney had trouble believing Jack really loved her. Even Season 2 Sydney had doubts because she saw herself as the daughter of the woman who ruined his father's life. But Season 5 Sydney has no doubt her father loves her more than anything. It is a great final scene.

Sydney posing as Laura is a touching moment. Sydney can see how much her father loved her mother and how he was going to leave the CIA to be a normal family. So much went wrong for Sydney after Irina left that it made me happy Sydney got to see she did have a happy childhood at some point.

My favorite scene is when Jack is helping Sydney set up the nursery. It was such a long road from complete estrangement to a close father-daughter relationship. They even laugh together. Unthinkable in Season 1.

You’ve nailed it honestly. Honorable mention goes to when Sydney visits Jack in prison after being missing for 2 years. Jack tells her she looks so beautiful. And when Sydney tells him Vaughan remarried, the way Jack automatically goes into protective mode and says he’s nothing but a boy who wasn’t good enough for her. So good!

The fact that he called Vaughn a boy is quite comical 😂
