In the season premiere episode, after learning that the man she has known as Michael Vaughn is under investigation and suspected of being a double agent, Sydney begins to question whether their business and personal relationship over the years had all been a lie. When she discovers that she's pregnant with Vaughn's baby, she becomes determined to uncover the truth about him. Meanwhile, because of Jack's past betrayal by Irina, he begins to worry that his daughter may suffer the same fate that he did.

This season, new agents will be introduced and a nefarious organization will come to light in Sydney's life as she fights to protect her unborn child -- all the while traveling incognito, outsmarting the bad guys and keeping the world safe.

It sure looked like Michael Vartan's character was killed in "Alias" shocking season opener. But since when does anyone on this show actually die? "If things go according to plan, he'll be back this season," reveals exec producer Jeff Pinkner. "We're writing an episode right now that Vaughn is in, and we have more planned." Vaughn could return as soon as December, before the ABC spy series goes on hiatus for Jennifer Garner's maternity leave. Vartan's manager confirms that producers have asked the actor to return for up to three episodes, though so far no deal has been signed. Or has it?

Season 5: Episode 1- "Prophet Five"
Sydney regains consciousness after the car crash and instinctively suspects the motives of the paramedics. When a man tries to inject her with a tranquilizer, she swipes his hand away and eludes the other "medics." Hiding in a cornfield, she sees Vaughn airlifted by an unmarked helicopter.

Later, as doctors evaluate Syd, she meets Gordon Dean from the Office of Special Investigations, who grills her about Vaughn's whereabouts and activities. Jack explains that Vaughn is a suspected double agent, and the car crash was actually an extraction.

A bloodied Vaughn, referred to as Mr. Michaux, is given a strip of paper with coded numbers. When Vaughn denies knowing anything about the cryptic sheet, a man named Curtis threatens to cut "the girl's finger off." Vaughn agrees to cooperate and asks for a pencil.

Before Vaughn can write, however, he asks to have his dislocated shoulder popped into place. When Curtis accommodates him, he punches Curtis and makes his escape. He contacts Sydney and asks her to trust him -- and to bring his father's watch when they rendezvous.

At APO Dixon tells a troubled Syd to give Vaughn the benefit of the doubt - as Dixon did for her years ago when he first realized that they worked for SD-6. Meanwhile, Gordon Dean instructs Marshall to pull Vaughn's files.

When Sydney arrives in Rome, Vaughn explains that his real name is Andre Michaux and his father was a mathematician involved with a top-secret project called "Prophet Five." He gleaned this info seven years ago from a woman named Renee Rienne and has been working with her since.

They meet James Lehman, a friend of Vaughn's father. Lehman explains that brilliant scientists and linguists were recruited for Prophet Five in the 70's and were asked to break the code of a 500 year-old document on advanced genetics. After this group succeeded, its members were systematically murdered. As precaution, Vaughn's father changed his identity, as did Lehman. He warns that the murderers are relentless. He tells them the location of a book containing more Prophet Five intel.

In Cape Town, South Africa, Sydney and Vaughn, posing as a French couple attending a party at a mansion, try unsuccessfully to steal the book from the home's vault. As they run towards a cliff, Sydney receives a phone call from her doctor, who tells her that she's pregnant. Sydney shares the good news with Vaughn, who has a muted reaction. They jump.

Meanwhile, Sloane combs through medical journals in jail, desperately trying to find a cure for Nadia, who is still in a coma after being subjected to Rambaldi's device. He denies knowing anything about Vaughn's treachery to Jack, but says that Renee Rienne, an ex-CIA agent, could be a possible lead.

As Sydney and Vaughn sit in a car waiting for Lehman, they talk about her pregnancy. Vaughn says his initial hesitation was because of the complicated world they live in, but he can't wait to be a father. Seeing Lehman in the distance, Vaughn jumps out. Suddenly another car drives by -- Gordon Dean steps out with Curtis and both fire at Lehman and Vaughn. They drop in a hail of bullets.

Waiting in the ICU, Syd tells Jack she's going to stand by Vaughn. As Jack reprimands her, Sydney reveals her pregnancy. Jack softens. Later, he goes to APO and instructs the team to research Prophet Five and retrieve the records in Cape Town.

Later, as Syd watches over Vaughn, he flat-lines. Syd is frantic as the doctors work on him to no avail. He slips away.

After Vaughn's funeral, Syd travels to shady London bar, where she speaks to the bartender. After an initial denial, the bartender admits she's Renee Rienne.

Question: OK, I admit, I was one of those people beating up on you, sending you a harsh e-mail after the season premiere of Alias. However, you have fully redeemed yourself with your latest tidbit about the Michael Vartan saga! Don't stop there, though — any news on the negotiations to bring him back to the show? — Andrea

Ausiello: Were you the one who banished me to a life of eternal damnation? All my hate mail tends to blur together. Anyway, yes, there is a major — major — development on the Vartan/Vaughn front: The deal officially closed late last week and Vartan returned to work on the Alias set yesterday. Please don't ask me who he's playing or how long his return engagement will last, because that I can't tell you. (Mostly 'cause, well, I don't know.)

I have spoken with my source and they have confirmed that Michael is on the set and will be shooting one episode. They also confirmed that this was a last minute decision, and shooting had to be rescheduled due to Michael's schedule, and as they had told me earlier, it was not TPTB original decision to have MV appear.

They have also confirmed that Michael, after considering many options which came his way after shooting the first episode of Alias this season, has decided to sign on for an action/adventure movie which will be shooting in Australia. According to my source it will be taking him out of the country for the next several months, so as far as Alias goes, this episode seems to be it.

As far as the campaign is concerned, all is going forward. The bottom line is, it was not Mr. Vartan's decision to end his contract with Alias and one appearance does not make up for the lack of regard shown to both him and the fans by Disney, ABC, Touchstone and Bad Robot.

*magu* hat geschrieben:wenn sich da jetzt was anbahnen wird zwischen Syd und dem Neuen, dann guck ich mir das nichtmehr an.

I found out earlier that Alias was filming on the Santa Monica Pier and decided to check it out with a friend. As we were waiting, there we noticed that they were setting up to film in the exact same spot as the pier scene from "A Broken Heart." No one seemed to know who was in the scene so we planted ourselves on a closeby bench and waited. And to my complete shock, the first Alias star to walk by me was none other than MICHAEL VARTAN! Jennifer Garner followed and they began to shoot the scene. At first, I thought maybe Vaughn was returning alive and well, but then my friend and I noticed that they were dressed in the exact same outfits as they were in "A Broken Heart." So we're thinking it's maybe a dream sequence, though no one would confirm this.

Jen threw something in the middle of the scene, but I couldn't tell if it was a pager or not. At the end of the scene, though, Michael touched Jen's face and then walked away. She screamed his name, but he kept walking. And Jen was very obviously pregnant, even her photo double was wearing a bump so I don't think they were trying to flashback and hide her pregnancy. And when Michael was done (and I think Jen was done too, but I'm not sure), Ron Rifkin showed up, so he had something on the pier as well. Anyway, just thought I'd share the joy with everyone that, even if it is in a dream, Michael Vartan will appear in at least one more episode this season!
