the dog ate my homework!

i swear!

anyway... way belated recap of collision here.

Ana seems so at home at the firing range. Ah, counseling. She could use that dude on the island. Danny left her, but thats okay, cause she’s one of those people that are better off alone. Whatever happened happened 4 months ago, but the shrink thinks shes good to go now, and gives her badge (# 68631) back. I knew she was LAPD.

Back in the jungle, sayid whips out his piece – eko charges him and they scuffle until ana clocks sayid on the back of the head. Shes in total freakout mode here -I wouldn’t ever want to be near this girl with a gun in her hand– she’s holding everyone at gunpoint now.



L O S T

Michael tries to reason with her, and she fires a warning shot. Psycho. She wants eko to tie up sayid, but he’s having none of it. “he tried to kill you”, she says, and eko just answers “no.” no, I won’t tie him up, and no, he tried to kill you, lady, not me.

Back on the force: ana’s mom is captain (promoted a few times since falling down, I guess). She wants her riding a desk after being part of an officer involved shooting, but ana won’t go for that. Mom signs off on whatever baby wants, and “rags” pops in to set up a surprise party for ana, which her mom tells her about after he leaves. Probably worried (rightly so) that if a bunch of people were to jump out at her, she’d start shooting before asking any questions.

On the beach, kate, hurley and Charlie are betting on bird/jordan mcdonalds commercial type golf shots. "off boones grave, over the black rock, through the hole in shannon, nothing but net!" okay, not really. Charlie jokingly tells kate about hugos $$, and hurley just tells kate to ignore him. Jack walks over… now there’s a doctor in the house, and golf is of course his game. No pun intended.
Back in the jungle, sawyers stretcher is dismantled per ana, so they can tie up sayid. Ekos had enough, and he slings sawyer over his shoulder to carry him to the camp. He’s not doing this for sawyer, he’s doing it for himself. Still got some atoning to do, I guess.

Flashback to ana on the beat, with a super-generic cop partner. The numbers don’t fit if you use 1-adam-12, so their callsign is 8-adam-16. nice. Ana wants some action, and they head over to check out a domestic disturbance call. Guy and his woman are having an argument, nothing physical. Ana sees a baby cradled in the womans arms, and flips the fuck out, pulling her gun on the guy, who was hardly threatening. Her partner has to talk her down.

Back in the jungle, Michael finally calls anas bluff and walks over to give sayid some water and bring him up to speed on their situation. -A side note here: thank god someone finally does this. I was so sick of everyone kowtowing to her. I know she had a gun, but still... arrgh. My least favorite moment in the series so far was when sawyer went along with them after he got taken out of the pit. It was so out of character. He should have just run (or walked) toward the beach. Just walk away from her!!!!!–
Playing some golf now, and of course jacks as shitty as he is cocky. He’s trying to play his ball out of the rough while kates picking on him. She freezes up as she sees eko, with sawyer over his shoulder, emerge from the jungle behind jack.



“where is the doctor?”

locke is working on a crossword puzzle while monitoring the execute computer. It looks like hes having a tough time with it.





42 down should be Gilgamesh, but it’s not fitting with all the other answers he has down. Ghent is a Belgian port, ransacked is robbed… the whole thing is a little strange looking though.
it must have been down there in the hatch, so is it a coinsidence that the correct answer to number 42 seems to throw the whole thing off? is it a mind game, just like the execute button might be? I’ve been away from forums for the past couple of months, so I’m sure there’s wayyy more on this if you want to dig a little deeper (i know i do). anyway, jack, carrying sawyer, and kate come rushing through and put sawyer in the tub. The mug in there has the swan logo.
Eko, locke. Locke, eko.
In the jungle, Ana has decided the only way out of this for her is to be on her own. Some people are better off that way, right? Libby tells her she can’t live on her own. Ana tells her that shes already alone, and sayid files that little tidbit away for the interrogation later. Ana sends mike back to the caves to get her some supplies, when he gets back she’ll go her way, and the rest can go theirs.

Back in LA, ana and her partner pull into the garage. The number on the door of the cruiser is either 41888 or 41688. not that it matters in the least. And it just says “dedicated to serve”. What happened to protecting? The cops have a guy named Jason McCormick, who they have linked to anas 'incident', but she tells them it’s not the guy. Her mom can’t understand what’s going on, why ana would want him back on the street? and we find out she was shot four times with hollow tipped bullets. They do a great job with the slow reveal of what actually happened to ana throughout this episode. In the present, ana walks over to shannons body, which is getting pretty pasty.

Under the hatch, ekos checking out the rack of guns. He knows; more guns = more problems. Locke asks him what happened, and eko fills him in. locke wants to go out there, but eko refuses to take him. Jack tells kate that sawyer is septic. It looks like there’s a pair of baby booties, or a ruffled garter or something, at the head of the bed near a candle? Jack can’t get sawyer to swallow the medicine he needs - dude, just roll it up in some bologna! (Works for my cat.) Or hey, whisper sweet nothings in his ear… that works too. (I’ll have to try that next time with the cat.)
“I never learned the whole whisper in the ear thing in med school”
jack leaves kate cradling the septic sawyer.

Mutiny in the jungle: Bernard and libby have had enough, and are leaving ana. Sayid gives jim the okay to leave with them. He knows he’s got control of this situation, even if he is tied up. Libby has the understatement of the night, to ana. “I just don’t think you’re the best judge of character” Sun’s tending her garden when Michael comes crashing through. He lets her know that jin is okay, but he really needs to find jack. Insane With Barely Controlled Rage Jack&trade is back in action under the hatch, questioning eko.
“anything I say will only make you angrier”
you got that right, mister eko.
Mike shows up, and jacks ready to head out there armed to the teeth… eko stops him, and tells him that ana lucia made a mistake – jack recognizes the name. he agrees to go back sans firearms.

Back to ana and sayid, and she’s asking him if he has kids. Bad sign there, and sayid knows it. He asks the question back at her. He knows shes pondering killing him, and she asks him outright if she should. Sayid tells her hes not a nice person, and that maybe she was meant to kill him. This bit of reverse psychology opens her up, and she tells her story, the ghist of it being that she trusted some guy and he shot her four times. By the time she hit the ground she thought she was dead. “I feel dead.”
“what happened to him?” sayid wants to know.

Flashback to a dive in LA. Anas stalking the guy the cops caught and released earlier. She confronts him in the parking lot… and tells him she was pregnant before shooting him 3 times. Then she walks over and puts 3 more in his head for good measure. You think she might have had some kind of a psychotic break there that she hasn’t yet recovered from? damn.

She tells sayid they never found him, then cuts him loose and gives back the gun.
“what good would it be if I kill you, if we’re both already dead?” hmmmmmmmm
kate n sawyer, she tells him hes gonna be alright, he's home. reminds me of when he called the island home after being adrift. maybe all of them were actually born here, and all of them will die here.
Vincent and mike are reunited, followed in short order with everyone else. Jin and sun, rose and Bernard. Not as touching as it could have been, but nice nonetheless.



Eko and jack get to ana and sayid. Jack and ana recognize each other, and sayid is holding shannons body. The music here sounds almost twin peakish; "She’s dead…" but not wrapped in plastic this time.
