In Alias Official Magazine #15, the story continues with intrigue, action, and unexpected twists. Here’s a synopsis of Season 5 of the TV show “Alias,” which provides context for the magazine:

1. Vaughn’s Abduction and Identity: As Season 5 begins, Vaughn is abducted. Sydney learns that Vaughn is under suspicion of being a double agent, and the crash that occurred earlier may have been a cover for his extraction. Vaughn later escapes and reveals his real name: André Michaux. He’s investigating a secret operation called Prophet Five, which once involved his father.

2. Sydney’s Pregnancy: During a mission to recover a Prophet Five book, Sydney receives unexpected news from her doctor: she’s pregnant (a development created to deal with the actress’ real-life pregnancy). Vaughn is later shot and apparently killed by Prophet Five operative Gordon Dean.

3. New APO Members: Two new members join APO to replace Weiss and Nadia. Thomas Grace, a brash young agent, often clashes with Sydney. Rachel Gibson, a computer specialist, was deceived into working for the real CIA and briefly becomes a mole within The Shed, a criminal organization.

4. Sloane’s Obsession and Betrayal: Arvin Sloane follows his personal obsession: finding a cure for Nadia. He’s released from jail and now works as a mole within APO for Dean. Unaware of Sloane’s new allegiance, Jack allows him back into APO to seek a cure for his daughter. However, Sloane’s ultimate goal is immortality, and he sacrifices Nadia’s life.

5. Series Finale: In the end, Sloane is trapped forever in Rambaldi’s tomb by a critically wounded Jack, who sacrifices himself to avenge the pain Sloane caused Sydney over the years
