Season 2

(2002)

Overview

In the second season, plotting against rogue agency SD-6 keeps superspy Sydney Bristow almost as busy as negotiating a relationship with her long-lost mother and dealing with her growing feelings for CIA handler Vaughn. What Syd doesn't know is that there are lots more changes (costume and otherwise) ahead of her... it's going to be a long year!
