Jennifer Garner hilariously recreated a steamy scene from her hit show "Alias" 17 years later, with a few adjustments.

To celebrate reaching 10 million followers on Instagram, the 48-year-old actress and mom of three posted a side-by-side video that she wrote in the caption she "promised" her manager and her publicist she'd "never post."

"At some point in 2021, Ladies, I will try to look cute just for you," Garner added.

In the video, the actress channeled her "Alias" character, Sydney Bristow, and recreated a scene from season two, episode 14 (titled "Double Agent") of the hit ABC spy show. The sequence from the 2003 episode showed Sydney emerging from a pool in a bikini, slipping on blue heels, drying off with a towel, and unhooking her top.

The scene itself was a nod to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," in which the character Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates) had a similar slow-motion pool scene.

In Garner's updated version of the scene, the actress wore a black wet suit as stepped out of the pool in a pair of goggles. Instead of putting on heels, she opted for a pair of cozy Uggs slippers.

Garner's friends and followers loved her recreation and called it "the best."

"Grey's Anatomy" star Jessica Capshaw commented: "I. Love. You. THE MOST in a wetsuit and shearling-lined footwear...GG...genius and gorgeous."

"Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts gushed over Garner, saying: "Just when I think I couldn't possibly adore you any more than I already do! Bless you for always making all of us smile. You are a gem, Jen."

"Thor" actress Kat Dennings said the video was "the best thing I've ever seen" and "Alias" alum Gina Torres called it "the best."
