The third season starts two years after the end of season two with Sydney waking up in Hong Kong with no idea how she got there or what has happened in the past two years. During the course of the episode she learns that a lot has changed in those missing years; she was believed dead, Vaughn has left the CIA and is married, her father is in jail and perhaps the biggest shock of all; her nemesis Arvin Sloane is not only free but is CEO of a humanitarian organisation.
While in hospital she eavesdrops a conversation between Dixon and Weiss about a CIA operative transporting a chip with important data about a drone aircraft. When the operative is killed in France and the chip stolen by a shadowy organisation know as The Covenant Sydney uses this information to claim to have memories involving the CIA agent and France so that she can visit her father in prison before going to France to retrieve the chip; unfortunately the operation does not go well and she is forced to turn to Sloane for help.
As one would expect in Alias the plot is fairly complex and allegiances fairly fluid. The acting continues to be solid with Jennifer Garner leading a fine cast. There is also plenty of action involving shoot outs, explosions, hand to hand combat and a wince inducing interrogation scene.
