Nadia also had mystical ties to Rambaldi, as she was the "Passenger" he'd foretold in his writings, and she alone was able to uncover the location of certain Rambaldi artifacts. Although Sloane claimed to love his daughter, his obsession with Rambaldi ultimately won out, and he accidentally killed Nadia when she tried to force him to choose her over a Rambaldi artifact.
Since her death, Nadia's spirit seemed to haunt Sloane, sometimes offering encouragement and sometimes caution. In the finale, after Sloane was trapped in Rambaldi's tomb, he comforted himself by saying that at least he still had her, but then Nadia faded away, leaving him alone.
It's never made fully clear whether Nadia was a hallucination caused by Sloane's own mind, or if it was really her, perhaps mystically linked to Sloane through their shared Rambaldi connection, although she did say at one point that she was only haunting him because he wanted her to, suggesting that she was a manifestation of his subconscious. Whether she was real or not, Nadia's abandonment of Sloane in Rambaldi's tomb was a fitting payback for the father who repeatedly abandoned her for Rambaldi while she was still alive.
Although Alias never leaned as heavily into flashbacks as that other J. Abrams-created show , the series finale featured a number of glimpses into Sydney's past, beginning with her mother's "death" when she was six and proceeding through Sydney's completion of the Project Christmas puzzle as a child, which showed her high aptitude for spywork. We also got to see her eventual recruitment to SD-6 and Jack's attempts to convince her to quit once he realized where she was working.
Although these are all pieces of Sydney's past, the character at the center of the flashbacks was actually her father, Jack. We've always known that Jack didn't want a life of lies, danger, and espionage for his daughter, but at the end of the series, we saw how inevitable it all felt to him, despite his reluctance. In sacrificing himself at the end of the episode and giving his blessing to Sydney to do what she must to save the world, Jack finally accepted Sydney's chosen path, which had always been the source of the tension between them.
The relevance of the flashbacks became especially clear when we saw Sydney's daughter, Isabelle, demonstrating spy abilities in the episode's final moments, making it clear that Sydney may find herself in a similar position to her father soon enough.
Despite the face-swapping and prophecies and constant triple-crossing, Alias always had a strong theme of family at its core. Never was this clearer than in the finale, which zeroed in on the relationships between Sydney and her two biological parents, contrasting the selflessness of one parent with the selfishness of the other. Sydney lost both of her parents in "All the Time in the World," but while Jack sacrificed himself to save Sydney, Irina turned away from her daughter, despite Sydney's pleas, in pursuit of more power.
Both parents claimed to love their child, but only Jack walked the walk, showing Sydney once and for all what true parental love looks like Nadia's spirit turning away from Sloane after he was buried alive in Rambaldi's tomb also tied into the family theme, echoing the pain of abandonment that the real Nadia felt when her father refused to choose her over Rambaldi, just as Irina did to Sydney.
But while the Alias finale showed how devastating it can feel to be rejected by relatives, it also emphasized the importance of the family we choose, ending on the supportive family Sydney had made with Vaughn and her friends, showing that family doesn't have to be biological, and it can look like just about anything.
Alias was always a series with a strong sense of destiny, due in large part to the show's emphasis on the centuries-old prophecies of Rambaldi, many of which came to pass during the course of the series. Meanwhile, Arvin Sloane's journey throughout Alias was always about twisting fate to his advantage, as he tried to use the prophecies of Rambaldi to bolster his own power instead of bringing about Rambaldi's desired future. However, Alias made a strong case in its final episode for free will's ability to overcome the power of fate.
Sloane believed he was fated to live forever, and perhaps he was, but Jack still managed to thwart him by permanently trapping him underground, a possibility neither Sloane nor Rambaldi ever saw coming. And while Sydney's daughter Isabelle assembled the same Project Christmas puzzle at the end of the episode that Sydney completed as a child, hinting that Sydney's daughter may be destined to follow in her mother's footsteps, Isabelle chose instead to knock over and discard the tower once she assembled it, implying that although Isabelle has the same potential as Sydney did at her age, she'll choose a different path.
What was Sloane trying to do at the end of Alias? What was the deal with Rambaldi? Unleashed by J. Abrams in , the show offered an intriguing premise: Sydney Bristow Jennifer Garner was a grad student moonlighting as an international spook alongside her dad. Soon it transformed into a Bond -meets- X-Files whirlwind of missions impossible, quadruple crosses, and long-lost spy relatives. And almost as many wigs.
Let's take a look Alias' ratings were never all that great. But it did have a very dedicated cult-like following that made the network want to keep the show alive. However, by season 4, the show was moved from a coveted Sunday night spot to Wednesdays at 9 PM. This move was basically ABC telling J. So, they tried. They had Jennifer Garner's Sydney Bristow and the other main cast members joined a black ops division of CIA run by the villain of the previous seasons, Sloane. This opened up the door to some fun storylines that caused the show to start to expire.
