Eli Stone returned for its second season bigger and better than ever. The season 2 premiere featured a big musical number, powerful visions and a dramatic court case involving Jordan Wethersby trapped in a collapsing bank. But this wasn't any normal bank, it was Credit Dauphine.
Fans of the J.J. Abrams spy drama Alias let out a collective squeal of delight at the mention of the bank's name because Credit Dauphine was the bank Sydney Bristow pretended to work at as a cover for SD-6. The reason this reference was so positively awesome was that it involved Jordan, played by Alias star Victor Garber.

In the BuddyTV Forum's Question of the Day section on this topic, meimei42 pointed out that “Vaughn is a sexy daddy,” and we can't disagree. Though he didn't become a father until the second half of the final season of Alias, Vaughn (played by the devilishly handsome Michael Vartan) was already the kind of man you'd want raising your kids. He fights for justice, briefly taught high school French, and he's a great ice skater. Whether he's saving the world from SD-6 or feeding Isabella strained peas, Michael Vaughn is the man you'd want by your side, in the field, at home and in bed.

In honor of Mother's Day, BuddyTV has compiled this list of our 10 favorite motherly moments.
There have been some truly awful mothers on TV, but Irina Derevko (Lena Olin) from Alias would probably take the take. After all, she did try to murder her own daughter in the series finale. Regardless, as ruthless a woman as she was, the fifth season episode “Maternal Instinct” showed that there is at least a tiny bit of motherly love in every mom.
