dad?
Jin's ripped… damn. He and Sun are reunited... and it feels so good Hurley’s gotta take his shirt off. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see it, cause the camera pans to Sayid, digging Shannon a grave. “sorry man, I know this hurts.” Jack’s talking to Sawyer under the hatch, but he could just as well be talking to Sayid above. He’s impressed with Sawyers improvised surgery. What kind of cheap-ass med school did jack go to anyway, without the ‘whispering sweet nothings bedside manner’ and ‘pulling out the bullet with the bare hands’ classes? Fever dreaming sawyer tells Jack he loves “her”. Hard to read Jacks reaction to this…
Kate’s up in a tree picking some fruit. I hear she loves to climb stuff in real life… which is kinda weird. And kinda sexy. Speaking of which, what’s up with this big black horse she’s seeing?
Flashback to a younger Kate in a Janis Joplin t-shirt, sitting on a stoop flicking a bic. A beat up pickup with some bad country music about moving to Montana (gonna raise up a crop of some dental floss?) pulls up, and drunky mcdrunk stumbles out… Kate's step dad. She’s disgusted, but helps him up to bed. We see a shelf with some stuff on it, a little brown horse, a trophy, a couple of family pictures. as they walk thru the kitchen he asks Kate, “what the hell is that smell?”
“probably your breath.” She plops him into bed. He tells her she’s beautiful a few times. this guy is creepy as hell, but hey, he does have a point there. Kate says goodnight, runs outside and hops on her bike. She gives the house an inscrutable looks before she pulls away, and… KABOOOM!
L O S T
Young Kate walks into a diner, and sees Diane behind the counter. Momma. Mom makes some excuses for her injured wrist, but Kate’s having none of it. Mom tells her, “I made my bed Katherine.”
Kate tells her her bed is gone, and hands over an insurance policy on the house she took out in her moms name. Diane asks if Wayne knows about this… and sees something scary in her daughters eyes.
“what did you do?”
but Kate’s gotta go, and mommas not gonna see her for a while.
Back on the island, Kate brings her booty, and a bag of fruit, down under the hatch. My damn tivo screws up for a minute here, but the idea is that there’s a service for Shannon on the beach, and jack wants to watch sawyer while Kate attends.(jealous much?) Kate tells him he’s needed up there, so he reminds her she’s gotta push the button and reluctantly heads up. The person responsible for said funeral is on the beach, pounding sand. Eko comes over to tell her he’s going to the funeral. Ana doesn’t think she’s gonna make it. “I think most of them realize it was an accident, Ana.”
Ana just pounds the sand harder.
Charlie comes running up to the funeral, brushing at himself. Is he tidying up, or sweeping off some heroin induced cockroach hallucinations? It looks like everyone but Ana, Kate and Sawyer are there. Sayid says a few words, about he and Shannon being strangers, and if it weren’t for the… he can’t bring himself to say crash, but he does tell everyone he loved her, before walking away in agony. (I played this back in slo-mo, and you can actually see the exact moment where Sayid’s heart breaks after the speech. D’oh!)
Jack throws the first handful of dirt, and the rest follow.
Kate puts on some walking after midnight (we get it, she’s a country gal) and seems happy, mashing up some food for sawyer and talking to him, even though he’s unconscious. She tells him about the horse, chalking it up to a lack of sleep. Sawyer stirs, and starts mumbling something under his breath. Kate leans in closer to hear him, and he grabs her by the neck suddenly, asking, “why did you kill me?”
Jack and Locke come down some time later to find the counter at 23, alarms blaring, and Sawyer facedown on the floor next to the bed. No Kate. She’s up walking through the jungle, and Charlie (what’s he doing out in the jungle alone?) strolls up next to her, trying to make some small talk. Tells her it seems the tailenders had a rough time of it and went all lord of the flies over there. Kate asks Charlie if he thinks there are horses on the island, and tells him about the one she saw. (Kate’s horse is sawyers pig?)
“seen polar bears, seen monsters… well, heard monsters, but horses, no.”
Kate walks away.
Flashback to a bus station, where Kate’s buying a one way ticket to Tallahassee. The marshall from the plane is behind her in line, harassing her. She gets paranoid, thinking it’s a sting. She’s not paranoid, it is. “Kate Austen, you’re under arrest.”
Looks like momma gave her up.
On the beach, Charlie’s playing guitar. (sounds like the chords to the melancholy lost theme) Jack asks if he’s seen Kate, and Charlie tells him she was in the jungle, acting kinda balmy (?), asking about horses on the island. He tells Jack she was on the path heading to the caves.
How does Jin spell relief? B-o-l-t-c-u-t-t-e-r-s. Locke snaps off his handcuffs with them, and he is free at last, thank god almighty. Jin walks out, flashing the snapped cuffs at Michael (who put them on him in the first place) as he’s inspecting the corridor. He finds blast doors, and asks Locke if Desmond had told him about them. Locke says he hadn’t, then offers to show Michael the orientation movie. Eko wants in, too.
“why not? The more the merrier.”
Kate’s sitting alone in the jungle, looking scared, and Jack comes along. He rips into her for leaving sawyer, and she gives it right back. Jack sees she’s not herself, asks what’s wrong, and she breaks down. Her holds her tight, comforts her, and she plants the mother of all MTV movie award winning kisses on him.
Jack looks kinda confused when she pulls away… Kate comes to her senses and realizes what she did, then walks away.
Eko, Michael and Locke are watching the filmstrip. There’s a slow zoom into eko's face as mike and Locke debate what they just saw. He's just staring straight ahead intensely. Something he saw sparked something in him, has he seen this before? Does he know candle, hanso, the degroots? Locke tells Michael that he set up shifts to enter the numbers, and mike asks if anyone wanted to know why? When Locke tells him, “I think the film’s pretty self explanatory”, eko glances at him for a second before returning to staring straight ahead. Locke doesn’t think the splices mike points out are important. He asks eko what he thinks, and eko just stares at him for a moment before getting up and walking away.
Kate’s sitting by Shannon’s grave as sayid walks up. She tells him she’s sorry for missing the funeral, and that she is going crazy. She asks if he believes in ghosts, and he tells her about seeing Wet Walt just before Shannon was killed.
Does that make him crazy?
Flashback to handcuffed Kate in the marshalls car, on a dark and stormy night. He wants to know why a straight A student with nothing but a couple speeding tickets on her record picked now to off her step dad. He knows her story, white trash mom divorces dad, starts up with a drunk. Marries him, gets beat up by him, and defends him. He understands the why, just not the when. (Did something set her off?)
“why after all these years did you just decide to blow poor Wayne up?” he thinks it was molestation, but Kate tells him Wayne never touched her. Suddenly there’s a deer in the road, and they crash into a tree while swerving to avoid it. –what are the odds of being in a car AND a plane crash with the same person? One of them is baaad luck- Kate grabs the handcuff keys while he’s stunned, and kicks him out of the car after a bit of a struggle. She backs into the road, and hey, there’s a big black horse there!
She drives away.
Under the hatch, Locke shows mike (and us) that you can’t enter anything into the computer until the four minute warning. Locke joins eko in the dining nook while Michael examines the computer hardware. Eko has something he thinks Locke should see, but he wants to begin at the beginning. “Long before Christ, the king of Judea was a man called Josiah.”
“When you say beginning, you mean… beginning.”
He tells Locke a story about a ruined temple (the incomplete filmstrip). Because their temple is ruined, the people worship false gods (the spliced together filmstrip, pressing the button). Josiah tells his secretary of the treasury to give gold to the people to rebuild the temple (are the numbers the gold? they were worth a lot of gold… or is the swan station the gold? the numbers were on the hatch… is Josiah Locke, or is josiah the old transmission? The secretary, is he eko?), but the secretary comes back with a book, the book of law, (the reconstructed filmstrip) the old testament, and they rebuild the temple with that. He hands over the bible they found in the arrow bunker to Locke. It’s hollowed out and inside are, presumably, the missing pieces of the filmstrip.
I guess that explains all of eko’s staring and glancing earlier.
Jack's chopping up some wood, kinda like ana pounding the sand, and hurley comes by with the line of the night (at least until sawyer wakes up)
“So… roses husband is white. Didn’t see that one coming.” He then proceeds to psychoanalyze jack, seeing his chopping at sawyers woodpile as, like, transference. Just a little something he picked up in the mental hospital. Sun’s taking care of sawyer when Kate comes back. Kate asks if she knows where jack is, or if sawyers talked. No on both counts. Sun leaves to get back to Jin, and Kate sits down with sawyer.
Flashback to a recruiting station. We see Sayid, briefly, on a TV in the station, and we meet Kate’s dad, Sam Austen. He wants to know why she came, while the police and us marshals are looking for her. She wants to know why he didn’t tell her. “tell you what?”
It turns out Kate was making a scrapbook for her dads birthday, and asked one of his c.o.’s to send her some pics of him in uniform. There were dates on the back of them, proving that her “dad” was still stationed in Korea at least four months before she was born.
“why didn’t you tell me that Wayne was my father?”
he didn’t tell her cause he knew she would kill him, and knew her mom would then turn her in for it. He loves her even though she’s not his biologically, and he wanted to take her when they divorced, but momma wouldn’t let him. Kate wants to know why he didn’t kill Wayne…
“because I don’t have murder in my heart.”
But Kate does. Nature, not nurture. They tearfully embrace, and he promises to give her an hour before he calls the cops. “Bye, daddy”
Back under the island, Kate starts talking to sawyer/Wayne. (So sawyer is sawyers pig?) she tells him she killed him not cause of chasing her dad away, or the way he looked at her, or because he beat momma. It was because she hated that he was a part of her. “…every time I look at sawyer, every time I feel something for him… I see you Wayne… it makes me sick.”
Sawyer wakes. “that’s about the sweetest thing I ever heard. Who the hell is Wayne? …am I in a bunk bed?”
He wants to know if they are saved, and Kate tells him they aren’t. Not yet.
Eko and Locke are pasting the film back together. What are the odds, Locke asks? someone made this film, someone else cut this piece out. Two halves of the same plane crash on different parts of the island, you there, me here, and now this missing piece is back where it belongs. Eko has to remind him not to go confusing coincidence with fate.
Kate takes sawyer outside, where he sees the big ass horse standing in the middle of the jungle. “you know that horse freckles?”
yeah, she does. Hi daddy. nurture, not nature.
Down on the beach jack is drinking with ana. She actually smiles a few times.
Under the hatch, Michaels fiddling with the computer while Locke and eko are watching the restored film in the other room. Here’s what was reinserted:
“do not attempt to use the computer for anything else other than the entry of the code. This is its only function. The isolation that attends the duties associated with station three may tempt you to try and utilize the computer for communication with the outside world. This is strictly forbidden. Attempting to use the computer in this manner will compromise the integrity of the project and worse, could lead to another incident. I repeat, do not use the computer for anything other than entering the code.”
In the computer room, something is beeping. Michael looks for the source, and sees this on the computer:
hello?
>:
after hesitating for a second, he starts typing.
>:hello?
Who is this?
>:this is Michael. Who is this?
dad?
Damn, there was no filler in that episode.
