9. "There's Only One Sydney Bristow"
Season 5, Episode 12
The series' 100th episode celebrates its heroine, brings back Bradley Cooper's Will and tugs at the heartstrings/gets your heart pumping when Will asks Sydney to be the best man at his wedding... while they're on a mission to defuse the bomb placed in his body.

8. 'The Box: Parts I and II"
Season 1, Episodes 12 and 13
The only thing we love seeing more than Sloane at someone else's mercy — in this case, McKenas Cole (played with oddball glee by Quentin Tarantino) — is Sydney and Jack working together as they slink around SD-6 in an attempt to save their co-workers.

7. "Resurrection"
Season 3, Episode 22
"You really are a Boy Scout," Lauren sneers to Vaughn while holding a gun to Sydney's head. Yeah, and he got his quick-draw badge, so adios, you evil interloper!

6. "Before the Flood"
Season 4, Episode 22
Yes, the giant red ball levitating over Sovogda is a wee bit too much, but the family dynamics in this episode (Jack and Irina kiss! Irina's gentle good-bye to her daughter!) are some good stuff — as is Vaughn's crazy admission about his real name at the end of the episode... and the cliffhanger car crash that follows.

5. "All the Time in the World: Parts I and II"
Season 5, Episode 17
After a lot of death (and one achievement of immortality), the series finale finally gives Sydney the happy ending she deserves: two kids, Vaughn, a remote beach house and another chance to chase Sark. What else could a lady spy want?

4. "Full Disclosure"
Season 3, Episode 11
Watching Vaughn cry onto Weiss' shoulder is rough — and knowing Sydney had to do so, as well, is a gut punch — but at least now we know what happened to her during those two missing years. (That Project Christmas hard-wiring doesn't seem so bad now, does it, Syd?)
alias-top-10-phase-one
3. "Phase One"
Season 2, Episode 13
Come for the opening underwear scene, stay for the long-awaited takedown of SD-6 —"Hey, guys! Did you hear what I just said? Asses. Kicked." — and the highly anticipated first kiss for Vaughn and Sydney.
alias-top-10-pilot
2. "Truth Be Told"
Season 1, Episode 1
Everything about the series' pleasantly packed pilot, especially the dichotomy of Sydney's world and the ease with which Garner moves within it (not to mention the cool costumes, wigs and fights), indicates that this drama is going to be a really, really good time.
alias-top-10-telling
1. "The Telling"
Season 2, Episode 22
We would've chosen this one for that epic girlfight alone. But the Allison/Sydney blowout is just one part of an awesome episode that also involves an Irina confrontation, some sweet Syd/Vaughn moments and a terrible twist that points the series in a very interesting (read: heartbreaking) direction for Season 3.
