'Alias' (2003)

The plot: Sydney and Jack are confronted by the new director of SD-6 (a.k.a. Sloane’s replacement), whose motives are unknown. Sydney and Vaughn lead the team to raid SD-6 and shut down the Alliance, and Francie is killed by what appears to be her doppelganger.

How many watched: 17.4 million

Touchdown or fumble: Depends on who you ask. The episode marked a series high from both a critical and ratings perspective, but it ranks as one of the least-viewed post- Super Bowl shows in history.
