Brenda Song here. Welcome to the Spy Hard section of the season one rundown. Forgot when the spies first encountered Carly? Or what exactly Project LOA is? Then this is the place for you. Just scroll down to get the facts on the most important spy developments. Each factoid links to the episode in which it occurs.

1. HANOVER RAID (episode two)
On this mission, Angie first encountered the vial of red liquid. She picked it up completely out of curiosity, setting off the alarm in the process. She tried to get her boss Ms. O to tell her what was in the vial, but even Ms. O wasn't privy to that information.

2. DANNY IS KIDNAPPED (episode eight)
Ms. O pulled Angie off probation to help rescue CIA agent Danny Bridges. Begrudglingly, Angie teamed with Danny's partner Nate Beckman to rescue him. The two rescued Danny but they also ran into his kidnapper, Carly Santros, who injected Angie with a toxin. These events also led to Nate joining Ms. O's team at IIA.

3. ANGIE'S DREAMS (many episodes, ends in episode fifteen)
After Carly injected her, the toxin was thought to be completely removed from Angie's system. Then, Angie began to have a series of weird dreams that involved a girl, herself at a younger age, being chased. The dreams haunted her and caused her to lose sleep and act erratically. Finally, she fell into a coma. She only awoke after an IIA doctor found a cure. Curiously, he found the toxin and what caused the dreams to be the very same compound.

4. MARISSA'S CAPTURE (captured in episode eighteen, spills her guts in episode nineteen)
One of Carly's henchmen, Marissa was captured by the CIA. She then proceeded to tell them everything she knew. She revealed there was a government program called Little Orphan Annie (LOA) that drafted orphans and tried to turn them into smarter soldiers. For the most part the program was a success. The program enhanced the participants so they would be a little faster, smarter, and stronger than their opponents. But not everyone was perfect. Another one of Carly's henchmen, Ben, suffers from rage issues, and Marissa's eyes were very sensitive to light. But it wasn't until a child died that the program ended and everyone's memories were wiped. But Carly remembered and she vowed for revenge. So she found a way via the red liquid to get the enchancements LOA gave her back and drafted Ben and Marissa to help her take down those who hurt them. She also revealed that Angie and Nate were a part of the program.

5. GETTING READY FOR A SHOWDOWN (episode twenty)
After Marissa's revelation, Ms. O and the spies were immediately taken off Carly's case and replaced by Harriet Richardson and her team. Ms. O decided to soldier on anyway, and gathered everyone together to devise their own plan to take down Carly. In their research they discovered five LOA kids had gone missing in the last year. Carly also hammered out a plan to take down her new pursuers, Richardson and her team. She was also revealed to have a sister with the same first name as one of the missing LOA kids...
