Season 3 Episode 1// A Tale Of Two Cities
We're back...in the middle of a suburban home as a woman puts on a CD and prepares her house for guests.Who
is this woman?And why is she upset?She sings along to cheer herself up as she prepares muffins for her book club meeting.During
the meeting, just as a debate gets heated, the room starts shaking.Is it an earthquake?The book club members run outside to
investigate -- and we see they are a part of a small community of houses.Everybody tracks the noises upwards to see a plane
tear apart in mid-air.The fuselage falls in one direction while the tail section falls in another.A familiar face, Henry Gale,
gives orders and we realize what we've just witnessed: the crash of Ocean Flight 815.
Don't let suburbia fool you --
this is the Others' home.We've been on the island all this time.Welcome to Season Three, folks.We're still LOST.
Jack
awakes on a dark steel table in a room with Plexiglass dividing it and a harness hanging from the ceiling.He tries to get
out but the room is secured and locked.
Somewhere outside, Sawyer awakes in a cage with a mysterious food dispenser.In a locker room, Kate awakes
to find Mr.Friendly standing over her.He offers her a shower to freshen up and a new dress.
Jack is visited by the
woman running the book club.She introduces herself as Juliet.She tries to reason with him but Jack stubbornly refuses, demanding
to know where his friends are and what's going on.She offers him food if he cooperates in an attempt to gain his trust.But
Jack isn't playing by her rules and lies when she asks him questions about himself.
In the past, Jack has trouble with
his divorce.He can't let go of Sarah without knowing for whom she left him.He attempts one last reconciliation, but it fails
when he demands the name of Sarah's new love.He even goes as far as cold-calling numbers from an old cell phone bill of hers,
trying to identify the new man.Unfortunately, he discovers one of the numbers to be Christian's, his father.Jack immediately
assumes the worst -- that the new man in Sarah's life is his father.
Sawyer works out the gizmos in his cage and gets a reward: a fish biscuit, water and grain.Mr.Friendly locks
Kate in the nearby cage, mocking Sawyer on his way out.Sawyer throws the biscuit to Kate, and they reconnect over their meal.
Jack
is again visited by Juliet.Beginning to get an idea of what kind of situation he's in, he decides to play by her rules.He
sits with his back against the far wall so she can enter his "room" and bring him food.When she enters, Jack jumps her, threatening
to cut her neck with a shard from a broken plate and demanding to be let go.Henry appears and tells Jack if he tries to leave
through the door Jack's trying to open, they will all be killed.Jack throws open the door anyway, unleashing thousands of
gallons of water.Henry escapes into a room before Juliet can make it.This forces her and Jack to work together.They fight
their way into another room and hit an emergency button that begins to drain the water.Once safe, Juliet immediately punches
Jack and knocks him out.
Flashback to the hospital where Jack overhears Christian on his cell phone.Thinking it's Sarah that Christian
is talking to, Jack follows Christian.He bursts in on his AA meeting, confronts his father, loses control and physically attacks
him.Jack is bailed out of jail by Sarah.Embarrassed about his behavior, Jack follows her outside trying to explain.Then Jack
sees a man stands next to her car waiting.Jack asks if that's him.Sarah doesn't answer but tells Jack his father was so drunk
when he called her that she barely understood him.Now Jack has something new to fix.
Jack wakes up back in his "room."Juliet
is on the other side of the Plexiglass waiting for him.He intuits where they are: underwater in an aquarium.Juliet nods.It's
another Dharma Initiative station: the Hydra.Juliet holds a folder thick with information on him.She explains that she knows
a lot more about him than she previously let on.Broken by this revelation, Jack follows her orders so she may enter with food
and crosses to the opposite side of the room. As she steps into the hallway, Henry greets her with a congratulatory "Good
work."She replies with a simple "Thank you."
Episode 2/ The Glass Ballerina
Little seven-year-old Sun breaks a glass ballerina and lies about it to her father.She blames the maid, knowing full
well she'll be fired.Her father knows Sun is lying and is disappointed with her but accepts her story.

to the sailboat, where Sayid, Jin and Sun still wait for Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and Michael.Sayid is concerned they can't
see their signal fire and wants to sail around the mountains and light another fire.Worried about Sun's health, Jin won't
do it.He wants to leave and claims only he can sail the boat.However, Sun reveals that she, too, can sail the boat and decides
they will do what Sayid wants.
In the Hydra station, Ben learns from Colleen that "the Iraqi" has a sailboat and might
be able find them.Ben tells Colleen to put together a team and go get the sailboat.Colleen tells Pickett about her orders,

Sawyer and Kate witness this interesting moment before they are taken out
to a jungle clearing and ordered to remove the rocks.
Pickett lays down the rules and warns them if they break them
they'll be shocked.Kate tries to stall, but Pickett shows how ruthless he can be by zapping Sawyer for her insolence.
On
the boat, Sayid finds the dock where Michael and Walt were let go and where Jack, Kate and Sawyer were taken captive.He tells
Jin this would be a good place to light the new signal fire.Sayid then confesses to Sun his real plan: he thinks the Others
have their friends captive.He will build the fire to draw them out and then kill all but two, playing them off each other
for information.Jin figures out Sayid's murderous intent, and also realizes Sun lied about it, betraying him.
Flashback

but she refuses.Then they are interrupted - by Sun's father! Sun is embarrassed at being caught.Disgusted, Mr.Paik orders
her to dress and leave.
Later, Paik tells Jin that Jae Lee has been stealing from him and has shamed him.
Paik orders Jin to kill Jae Lee.Jin refuses and quits.Paik tells him he can't quit.He is family now, and Paik's shame
is Jin's shame.
At the jungle clearing, Sawyer sizes up the situation and makes a decision.He crosses to Kate, sweeps
her into his arms and kisses her - a hardcore, swooning kiss! And Kate goes with it, kissing him back.Pickett and two Others
pull him away, but Sawyer fights back, breaking Pickett's nose.Juliet ends the fight by holding a gun on Kate, and Sawyer
gives up.Pickett's hatred boils over, and he immediately zaps Sawyer unconscious.
Back in Seoul, Jin delivers his message
to Jae Lee by savagely beating him.He can't bring himself to kill Jae Lee but warns him to leave the country and never come
back.As Jin returns to his car, Jae Lee's body falls onto the hood.He's dead, and in his hand he holds the pearl necklace
he bought for Sun.
At Jae Lee's funeral, Paik confronts Sun and tells her to go home to her husband.Sun asks if he'll
tell Jin about the affair, but Paik asks her what use that would be?
Then he tells her he knows she broke the ballerina.
On the sailboat, Colleen surprises Sun and won't let her go.Sun
shoots Colleen in the gut and desperately tries to escape.Sayid and Jin hear the shot, and a gun fight breaks out.When the
Others start the sailboat's engine and take off, Jin fears Sun is captured.He then sees her in the ocean swimming towards
him and they are reunited.
Back in their cages, Sawyer reveals to Kate the kiss was a setup to test the Others.Disappointed
but impressed, Kate helps Sawyer plot their escape.But unbeknownst to them, surveillance cameras are trained on them.And in
a room watching the monitors, Ben hears every word of their plan.
Despondent and broken down, Jack learns that all
Ben wants is for Jack to change his perspective.Ben offers to take Jack home if he does what Ben wants - and then he proves
to Jack they have contact with the outside world.He shows Jack a video of the Red Sox winning the World Series.Ben stops the
video and repeats his offer.
He will take him home ...and amazingly Jack starts to believe him.
Episode 3/ Further Instructions
Locke wakes up in the jungle, disoriented, wondering how he got there.Then he hears something in the brush.It
sounds like someone running.He looks over and sees Desmond run by, completely naked.Locke tries to shout out to him but can't.Locke
finds himself mute.
Back at the camp, Locke builds a sweat lodge.Charlie tries to talk to him, but Locke can't speak.He
mimes that he's going to talk to the island, and he asks Charlie to stand guard outside his structure.
Inside, Locke
prepares a bowl of paste and then eats it.Sweating, Locke goes into a trance -- and finds Boone sitting next to him.In Locke's
vision, Boone puts him in his old wheelchair and takes him through the Sydney airport.Boone tells him someone is in danger
and Locke is the only one who can save them.Is it Claire and Charlie with Aaron waiting at check-in?Sun and Jin arguing with
Sayid breaking it up?Hurley and Desmond as Oceanic Air employees?Or Jack, Kate and Sawyer in line at a security checkpoint
with Henry Gale as the security guard?
No, it's none of them.Locke finds Mr.Eko's Jesus stick covered in blood.Boone,
now appearing bloody and mangled, tells Locke he hasn't much time.Locke wakes up in the sweat lodge -- right as a polar bear
lunges at him.Locke stumbles outside where Charlie waits.Locke now knows what he must do: he needs to save Mr.Eko from the
polar bears.
Flashback to northern California where Locke picks up a hitchhiker, Eddie, and takes him back to his "family."Locke
introduces Eddie to Mike and Jan who own the commune-like farm and the twenty or so people who live and work there.They welcome
Eddie with open arms to their family.Locke helps Eddie get adjusted to the place.He even shows Eddie their sweat lodge, where
you can meditate and find out what to do with your life.You can find out if you're a hunter or a farmer.
On the island,
Locke and Charlie trek to the hatch.It seems to have imploded.They continue on and cross paths with a polar bear.They take
off running.They stop in a clearing, but the bear is right behind them.
Locke pulls a knife, throws it -- and Hurley yells out in surprise! Locke pulls the brush aside and finds
Hurley standing there with the knife sticking out of his canteen.It barely missed him.
Hurley continues to the camp
and discovers Desmond naked in the brush.Hurley gives him a shirt to wear and Desmond tells Hurley not to worry about Jack,
Kate and Sawyer.That Locke said in his speech he would go after them.But Locke didn't give a speech.What's Desmond talking
about?
On the communal farm, Eddie notices a greenhouse and asks Locke why everyone is so secretive about it.With all
the fertilizer and guns, he knows they're planning to blow up something and tells Locke he wants in on it.Locke laughs at
the suggestion but promises to talk to Mike and Jan.He finds them inside the greenhouse, which is filled with marijuana plants.They
are frantically stuffing records into bags.They tell Locke that Eddie is an undercover cop, and he's been gathering evidence
to arrest them.
Locke confronts Eddie at gunpoint.
Eddie admits he's a sheriff, and that they chose Locke on
purpose.Locke feels betrayed yet again and threatens to shoot Eddie.But Eddie just backs away, telling Locke he's a farmer,
not a hunter.Locke wants to shoot him so badly but doesn't.He lets Eddie run away as he tries to convince himself he really
is a hunter.
Back to Locke and Charlie on the island as they track the polar bear to its cave.Locke goes in alone,
and finds a yellow toy truck, human bones, a torn shirt with the Pearl station logo on it.He also finds a wounded Mr.Eko.The
polar bear attacks again, but Locke fights it off and drags the unconscious Eko away.
On the way back, they stop for
water.While Charlie fills their bottles, Locke apologizes to Eko.Surprisingly, Eko awakes and tells him that he will find
Jack, Kate and Sawyer because Locke is a hunter.But when Charlie returns, Eko is still unconscious.
They return to
camp with Eko.Hurley and Locke tell everyone what the Others have done.They look to Locke as they would look to Jack -- like
a leader.
Locke steps into the role effortlessly, assures them that they'll go find Jack, Kate and Sawyer and bring
them back -- but for now they need to help Eko.His confidence and leadership comforts them.
Hurley realizes Desmond
predicted Locke's speech.How'd he know?But Desmond stands apart from the group, simply throwing rocks into the ocean...
Episode 4/ Every Man for Himself
Sawyer rigs his cage so he and Kate can escape.Ben approaches, and Sawyer grabs him.However, nothing happens.Ben
tells him they turned off the electricity, and beats Sawyer unconscious.When he wakes up, he's strapped down to a table.They
shove a stick in his mouth and plunge a huge needle into his heart!
Later, Ben shows Sawyer a caged rabbit.Ben scares
the bunny, which falls over and dies.It had a small pacemaker inserted in its heart to give it a kick-start if it gets anxious,
frightened, or tries to escape.Ben gives Sawyer a heart rate monitor and warns him that if his heart rate goes over 140 his
heart will explode.And if Sawyer tells Kate, they'll put a pacemaker in her, too.
Back at the cages, Kate immediately
questions him, but Sawyer ain't talkin'.Kate has an escape plan -- she could squeeze through the bars at the top of her cage
and get them out.Sawyer dissuades her.Kate doesn't understand.They could escape and he's telling her not to?
Flashback
to Sawyer in jail.
The new guy, Munson, stole $10 million dollars from the government and hid it.Munson denies stealing
it, of course.Sawyer guesses Warden Harris is protecting Munson to play him for the money.Sawyer warns Munson that the Warden
will turn his wife against him.When questioned why he's freely offering this advice, Sawyer expresses his hatred for the Warden.Whether
the money's real or not, he doesn't want the Warden to get it.
WHOOSH to the Others returning with Colleen, bloody
and pale from Sun's gunshot.Juliet asks Jack for his help.Jack scrubs in, and notices x-rays on a lightbox.Juliet says those
aren't Colleen's.In the O.R., Juliet confesses she's not a surgeon and couldn't stop the bleeding.Jack finds the bleeder but
Colleen dies on the table.
Pickett goes ballistic, ranting that they did this, and beelines for Sawyer's cage.He savagely
beats him in front of Kate, demanding to know if she loves him.Kate confesses that she does, and Pickett stops.
Back
in jail during visitation, Sawyer sees Munson arguing with his wife.
Sawyer's visitation is with Cassidy, who shows him a photo of their baby daughter, Clementine.Cassidy hoped
Sawyer would write a letter to her, but Sawyer becomes angry.Denies he has a baby.Cassidy gets the message and backs off.
Munson
tells Sawyer he was right about the Warden using his wife against him.Sawyer tells him when you care, that's when they come
after you.Munson wants Sawyer's help moving it.His wife hired a private investigator to find it, and he'd rather Sawyer screw
him over than his wife.
Back to the present, Kate squeezes out of her cage and tries to break the lock on Sawyer's.She
knows he's lying about what happened to him, and that scares her.What did they do to him, and why doesn't he fight back?He
tells her if she really loves him to go without him.Kate claims she said that so Pickett would stop hitting him.She squeezes
back into her cage and tells Sawyer, "Live together, die alone."
Juliet tells Jack she's a fertility doctor, but Jack
wants to know whose x-rays those were.
They're of a man, about 40 years-old, who has a very large tumor on his vertebrate.He wants to know
who he's really there to save.
Desmond tells Claire she has a problem with her roof.He suggests she move down the beach
while he fixes it.Charlie, feeling territorial, says if there's any problem, he'll fix it.
Desmond borrows a golf club
and ties it to a long stick of bamboo.He puts it near Claire's tent and waits.A storm suddenly blows up, and a bolt of lightning
strikes the golf club -- Desmond used it as a lightning rod.Charlie realizes Desmond just saved them, but how did he know
that was going to happen?
In jail, Sawyer reveals he conned Munson to get the last six years of his sentence commuted.Sawyer
gives up the location of Munson's stolen $10 million.He's now a free man.He instructs them to put his commission in an account
with Clementine Phillips' name on it.
On the island, Ben takes Sawyer on a hike.Ben tells him his heart isn't going
to explode -- that only thing they put inside him was doubt.
At the top of the hill, Ben points to a big island across the way.That's the island Sawyer knows and loves.They're
on a smaller island, like Alcatraz.If they escape, there's nowhere to run.Ben reminds him the only way to gain the respect
of a con man is to con him.Sawyer's good, but the Others are better.
Episode 5/ The Cost of Living
Eko is unconscious and dreams about when he and his brother, Yemi, were kids.They broke into the church
pantry to steal food and were caught.He is told hunger is no excuse to sin and forced to confess.He snaps awake -- to find
Yemi is standing in his tent.Dressed in his priest's collar, he tells Eko to confess his sins and be judged.
Ben brings
Jack to Colleen's funeral.Jack asks about the x-rays and guesses that Ben has the tumor.Ben denies it.He then confronts Juliet
about it, but she didn't tell Jack.
Sayid, Jin and Sun return to camp, and Sayid updates Locke.Locke proposes they
go to the Pearl station and use its computer to contact the Others.He hopes to start a dialogue with them to get back Jack,
Kate and Sawyer.Eko mumbled Yemi's name before he disappeared, so Locke believes Eko is going to the Nigerian plane where
Yemi's body rests.The plane also happens to be on top of the entrance to the Pearl station.
Back in Nigeria, after
Yemi is killed, Eko is returned to the church.
Eko walks through it, very aware he was responsible for his brother's death.He finds Yemi's Bible and a photo
of them as kids tucked between its pages.He is interrupted by Amina, who asks about Father Yemi.Eko tells her he is taking
Yemi's place.Amina introduces her son, Daniel, who is an altar boy in the church.
Outside, they hear gun shots.It's
Emeka and his gang who demand the vaccine.Amina tells them it'll arrive on Friday.She explains that the clinic gets ten percent
of the vaccine, and Emeka and his gang get the rest as payment for protection.Eko isn't afraid of Emeka, so Emeka shoots and
kills a random woman.Eko is angry but keeps quiet so he doesn't blow his cover.Emeka promises to return for the vaccine.
On
the island, Eko stumbles through the jungle, dehydrated and delirious.He sees Emeka and his men, bloody and butchered.Then
he sees Daniel, who tells him to confess.He stumbles to a stream for water.While he's drinking, he hears the smoke monster
and sees its reflection looming menacingly behind him.
But then it dissipates, and Locke, Desmond, Sayid, Nikki and Paulo break through the jungle on the opposite
side of the stream.Together they continue to the plane and Pearl station.
Ben talks to Jack and tells him they had
a wonderful plan to break him.But the plan was ruined when Jack saw Ben's x-rays and figured out he was dying.Ben asks Jack
to save his life.Then he asks Jack if he believes in God.Two days after he found out he had a tumor on his spine, a spinal
surgeon fell out of the sky.If that isn't proof of God, Ben doesn't know what is.
Flashback to Nigeria, where Eko plans
to take the vaccine for himself and sell it.Emeka and his men return after hearing about Eko's plans.Believing Eko really
is a priest, Emeka says he'll only cut off Eko's hands.But Eko the war lord emerges, and he slaughters the men inside the
church.
Daniel asks if Eko is a bad man.Eko tells him only God knows.Amina confronts Eko about the vaccine, telling
him Emeka and his men will simply be replaced by similar men.
Eko notices they are boarding up the church.Amina tells Eko it is no longer sacred.He needs to repent because
he owes God for every life he's taken, and he owes Father Yemi one church.
In the Hydra station, Juliet shows Jack
a movie.While the movie is playing, she apologizes to Jack for what they've done to him, and tries to convince him to perform
the operation on Ben.However, the "movie" is actually Juliet holding cards that read the opposite of what she's saying: Ben
is dangerous; people want a change; Jack could make Ben's death look like an accident during surgery; she would protect him.Jack
is stunned.
In the Pearl station, Sayid concludes they can't send a message to the Others.They check the monitors for
other stations on the island, and most of them are blank.But then a live feed reveals another working station on the island
-- when suddenly a face pops into view: a menacing man with a patch over his right eye.He reaches up and turns the camera
off.Everyone reacts.
Outside, Yemi appears to Eko asks him if he's ready to confess his sins.Eko refuses to do so.He maintains
he has not sinned.He killed to save their lives.He is not sorry -- he is proud.He asks what has God done for him.
Yemi
chastises Eko for speaking to him as if they he were brothers.Suddenly the smoke monster coils up before him.It grabs Eko,
and slams him violently against the trees.Locke hears the smoke monster's roar and runs out.By the time he gets to Eko, he
is dying.Locke tries to comfort him, but Eko whispers one last thing to him before he dies: they're next.
Episode 6/ I Do
We open with a flashback -- Kate checks into a hotel room and looks at her wedding veil.A policeman knocks
on the door and demands to be let in.Is she going to be arrested?When Kate opens the door, she jumps into his arms -- they're
a couple! Kate is marrying a cop.Kate has a moment of doubt, but Kevin assures her it's right and real because he loves her.
On
the island, Jack checks Ben's x-rays and medical file.He tells Ben the tumor will be inoperable in about a week and he needs
to be in surgery immediately -- but Jack won't do the surgery.He told Ben this so he would know how he's going to die.
Locke
tells Nikki, Paulo, Sayid and Desmond that Eko was killed by an animal.Sayid doesn't believe him.When they're alone, Sayid
asks Locke what really killed Eko.Locke says people call it the monster but he doesn't believe in monsters.Locke believes
it may be what brought them there and that Eko died for a reason -- he just doesn't know what it is yet.
Suddenly Alex runs out of the jungle holding a slingshot and firing rocks, demanding to know where her boyfriend
is.She's grabbed from behind and taken off.She shouts to Kate that they'll kill her boyfriend, meaning Sawyer, just like they
killed hers.
Juliet tells Kate that Pickett is going to kill Sawyer, but if Kate can convince Jack to do the operation,
Kate can save Sawyer's life.When Jack and Kate see each other, emotion overcomes them.Kate hates being used but she tells
Jack he has to do the operation.Jack is mad she believes the Others...and mad that she's there asking him to save Sawyer's
life.
Flashback to Kate, nervous before her wedding.Kevin's mom, Suzanne, gives her a beautiful gold locket her mom
had given her.Kate tells her mother-in-laws aren't supposed to be so nice.During the ceremony, the Minister talks about Kate's
honesty and faithfulness, and how what you see is what you get.But Kevin, Suzanne and the Minister think Kate's name is Monica,
and Kate is aware of the irony of those words.
After shopping for dinner, Kate calls U.S.Marshal Mars.She doesn't want to run any more, and pleads for him
to stop chasing her.He guesses it's about a guy.She tells him she loves the guy.The Marshal agrees that if Kate can really
stay put, really settle down, he'll stop chasing her.But he and Kate both know that's not going to happen.
Back on
the island, Kate tells Sawyer about seeing Jack and what they want him to do.Sawyer is glad Jack isn't dumb enough to do the
surgery.Kate gets angry, climbs out of her cage and breaks open Sawyer's.If he doesn't want Jack to save his life then he's
going to save his own.But Sawyer finally tells her they're on another island -- there isn't any place to run.This hits Kate
hard.Sawyer didn't tell her this earlier because he wanted her to believe they had a chance.In his own way, he was protecting
her.
The situation, the emotion, the chemistry between them is too much -- and Kate kisses him.Sawyer is surprised,
but he kisses her back.Maybe they think Pickett really will kill Sawyer, or maybe they really love each other, but all that
matters is their moment together.
They fall out of frame as they make love.
Meanwhile, Locke says a few words for Eko and buries him.As
he pounds Eko's Jesus stick in the ground for the marker, Locke sees a message on it: Look north, John 3:05.Locke smiles --
he's finally found his further instructions.
In the Hydra station, someone unlocks the door to Jack's room.Jack gets
out and finds a weapons cabinet and the surveillance room.On one of the monitors he sees Kate and Sawyer together.It's a sucker
punch for Jack.Ben appears behind him and is surprised, too.He thought Kate would've picked Jack.Jack decides to do the surgery.He
promises to remove the tumor and keep Ben alive, but he wants Ben to keep his promise.He wants off the island.
We WHOOSH
back to Kate with pregnancy test results -- she's not pregnant.Relief floods over her.She brings Kevin iced tea and tells
him the truth -- she's a fugitive on the run for killing her father.She can't be tied down to their domestic life, worrying
about getting pregnant and planning dinners.
Kevin protests, and she reveals her name isn't Monica.She loves him but can't stay.Kevin tries to get up but
falls over.She drugged him to protect him.Since he's a cop they'll ask questions and she doesn't want him to lose his job.He
falls unconscious.She put the gold locket his mom gave her in Kevin's hand and leaves.
Back on the island, Jack starts
the surgery.Once Ben is under, Pickett goes after Sawyer.He discovers Sawyer and Kate together.He forces Sawyer to his knees
with a gun to his head.He's going to kill Sawyer and make Kate watch...
...When Friendly calls over the walkie.Jack
sabotaged the operation and will let Ben die if they don't let Kate and Sawyer go.Jack tells Kate to run.When they're safe,
he wants her to radio him and tell him the story he told her on the day of the crash when she stitched him up.Kate doesn't
want to go without him, but Jack tells her to run...

"Kate, dammit, RUN!"
With Ben bleeding out on the operation table, Jack stops the surgery to give
Kate and Sawyer enough time to escape.Juliet orders Ivan to bring them back - to kill them if necessary.Jack warns her he'll
let Ben die.Jack tells Friendly that Juliet asked him to kill Ben.Juliet denies it.Friendly orders Juliet to leave the room.
Kate
and Sawyer make it to the shore but realize they need a boat.With Pickett, Jason and Ivan hot on their trail, they run back
into the jungle to hide.They meet Alex, who hides them in a camouflaged tiger pit.Alex tells them she has a boat they can
use - but only if they help rescue her boyfriend, Karl.
FLASHBACK to Juliet in Miami.She visits her sister, and in
the hallway passes Ethan Rom.He says hello but Juliet doesn't know him.Juliet wakes Rachel and gives her an injection.Rachel
has lost her hair from chemotherapy, so what's the injection Juliet gives her?A cancer drug?Juliet tells Rachel they can stop
if she wants.Rachel asks her if she's worried if Edmund Burke, Juliet's ex-husband who runs the research lab, will find out.
Back on the island, Friendly warns Jack that he dies if Ben dies.Suddenly Ben interrupts them - he's awake
and heard everything.He asks to talk to Juliet alone.After their talk, she tells Jack if he continues with the operation,
she'll help Kate and Sawyer escape.
Alex leads Kate and Sawyer to the compound where Karl is being held.They disarm
the guard and sneak inside, finding Karl in Room 23.He is strapped to a chair with an I.V.drip and being forced to watch a
film.Images bombard him while loud music and a cacophony of overlapping sounds blare out of the speakers.They free him and
head for Alex's boat.
Back in Miami, Edmund confronts Juliet.He knows that she's been sneaking out serum and experimenting
on her sister.If she won't let him in on her research and publishing, Edmund will report her to the authorities.Juliet is
trapped.
She has a job interview with Richard Alpert from Mittelos BioScience.He tells Juliet that Mittelos is based
in Oregon, just outside Portland, and that they are privately funded.
Juliet is not sure why they contacted her.Alpert reminds her she successfully impregnated a male field mouse,
but Juliet brushes off the compliment.Alpert shows her an MRI of a woman whose uterus indicates she'd be in her seventies
- but he tells Juliet the woman is 26.Juliet wants to know what happened.Alpert tells her if she comes to work for them, she
could have complete freedom and all the money she needed to find out.Juliet refuses the offer.She explains her ex-husband
wouldn't let her out of his grant early, that he won't let her do anything.Alpert insists there must be something they can
do.Frustrated, Juliet blurts out that Edmund could get hit by a bus.Embarrassed and starting to cry, Juliet tells Alpert she's
not a leader - she's a mess.
On the island, Jack continues Ben's operation.Jack asks why, if they can get off the island,
they simply didn't take Ben to a hospital.Before Friendly can respond, Jack accidentally nicks an artery, sending Ben into
cardiac arrest.
Alex takes Kate, Sawyer and Karl to the boat she had hidden - when Pickett bursts out of the jungle
and is about to shoot Sawyer - but BAM! Juliet shoots and kills Pickett.
Juliet tells them they can leave now - but not Alex.Her father, Ben, wouldn't let Karl live if Alex goes,
too.Alex says good-bye to Karl.Juliet hands a walkie to Kate and tells her to radio Jack.Kate tells Jack the story of him
"counting to five" to prove they're safe.As she retells it, Sawyer begins to understand the depth of their connection and
is troubled by it.Jack makes her promise they won't come back for him.Kate, Sawyer and Karl sail away.
Back in Miami,
Rachel tells Juliet it was a success - she's pregnant.The serum wasn't a cancer drug but a fertility treatment.Juliet leaves
to tell Edmund the news but informs him she's not interested in publishing.Right as Edmund is about to protest - BAM! He is
hit by a bus!
Juliet goes to the morgue to identify Edmund's body.Richard Alpert appears with Ethan Rom to express
their condolences.Juliet realizes in their interview she said she wanted Edmund to get hit by a bus.Alpert denies that he
or his group had anything to do with the accident, but reminds Juliet that the job offer still stands.
It'll only be for six months.She'll be back before Rachel has the baby.But wait.How did they know Rachel was
pregnant?Alpert tells her they are very thorough in their recruitment process.Juliet wants to bring her sister along, but
Alpert tells her Rachel wouldn't have access to the treatment she'll need.But there are plenty of clinics in Portland, Juliet
points out.Sensing her confusion, Alpert admits their location is not quite in Portland&
On the island, with Friendly's
help, Jack stops the bleeding and saves Ben.Juliet returns, and Jack asks her what Ben said.Juliet tells Jack that she's been
on the island for three years, two months and twenty-eight days.Ben promised Juliet if she let him live, he'll finally let
