those lyin' eyes
Flashback - oooh baby, the sweet sounds of sexy smooth Korean jazz… not exactly Barry White, but Jin and Sun are turned on. I like the coy, sexy Sun, and so does Jin. “Turn around.” Hot.
Their headboard looks like it was designed by Hildi from Trading Spaces. Fuuugly… They’ve been trying to get pregnant for a year. Jin thinks a kid will improve his standing with her father. He's sure that once he’s the dad of Sun’s father’s grandson, that promotion to a position that doesn’t involve beating people to a pulp will be his. “A baby will change everything. A baby will make it better.”
Now - Jin shows up at Sun’s garden on the island, where she’s planting alone. He yells at her for putting herself in danger, and she tells him she doesn’t need his protection here in her garden. Jin goes nuts and tears up the garden, so that Sun now has no reason to be there. “Shall we go now?”

Looks like Ana Lucia is training for a race around the world. She pulls up to Locke, who’s sitting outside her tent eating a banana. He tells her about the man in the hatch who could possibly be one of “the Others.” Ana is as unhappy to learn that Jack has kept this from her as Locke is happy to be the one delivering the news. (does that make sense? It does in my head…) Locke wants her to talk to Henry, but first Ana wants to know if Jack is aware Locke's asking her to do this. He gets indignant, telling her he doesn’t need Jack’s permission, and he just wants this man out of the room in “my hatch.”. - are they all turning into three year olds? "my garden!", "my hatch!" -
On the beach, Rose and Bernard are doing their best impersonation of The Ropers, or of any older married couple guest stars taking the Love Boat to Fantasy Island. Bernard forgot Rose’s birthday, but he doesn’t think he’s at fault, as he doesn’t even know what day of the week it is (it’s Saturday). It's all just a big misunderstanding. They come across Sun moaning in pain, and tell her to go find Jack. She tells them she’ll be okay on her own, she was probably just in the sun a little too long.
Flashback – Sun back in the ol’ Seoul Gateway Hotel. She cautiously enters a room (#200?), and puts the do not disturb sign on the door before closing it behind her. Oh, shocker, it’s Jae Lee, the guy she was dating in "...and Found". I thought he was going to America? He asks her if she’s told Jin yet. "I couldn’t"
It looks like infidelity, but it may be more innocent than it seems, he’s been secretly tutoring her in English. They’re worried about what Jin will think when he finds out who she was learning from, but neither want to call it off just yet. Maybe not so innocent after all?
Under the hatch, Jack gets out of the shower to find Locke shaving at the mirror. The steam opens up his pores.
He sneaks a look at Jack’s package before telling him he thinks Ana can help them out with their "Henry Problem". Why her, Jack wants to know? “She’s the one you went to to start an army to fight those people, why not her?”
Jack agrees to talk to her about it, and Locke tells him he already has, that she’s in there with Gale right now.
In the cell (we can call it that now, right?), Henry is amazed at Ana’s tale of walking across the island. “It must have been fun.”
“It had its moments.” She wants his story, the one he’s already told to Jack, Locke, the “big black guy that cut off his beard in front of me”, and Sayid. She tells him some of hers, that she put Nathan in the pit and he ended up dead because of her. She tells him he can trust her if he’s got nothing to hide, because she won’t make the same mistake twice. (what, that someone ended up dead because she thought they were an Other? That already HAS happened twice! Three times, really, but once wasn’t a mistake. Anyway…)
On the beach Sawyer is reading “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.”, when “Sunshine” asks him for a pregnancy test from his stash. You could say Auntie Flo packed up and left Sun for a while, so she could go visit Margaret for the very first time. That’s all the pregnancy test you need, right there. Sawyer’s not a Judy Blume fan. Not enough sex.
Under the hatch - is this Geronimo Jackson Locke is listening to? (that sounds like a supergroup itself, Geronimo Jackson Locke. GJL.)
“c’mon (or something similar) – you’re pushing on me
you’re pushing too hard at what you want me to do
you’re pushing too hard about (something)say?sang?
you’re pushing too hard every night and day
you’re pushing too hard – you’re pushing too hard on meeee”
(maybe the name of this song is 'the button'?)
Ana’s been in there with Henry for half an hour, long enough for him to have told her the tale of the smiley-face balloon ride. – this actor reminds me of the husband in Medium, Jake Weber, in the same way Ethan reminds me of Tom Cruise. Are they distant cousins too? – Henry seems to get some sympathy from her when he explains that he brought his wife’s body from where she died to the balloon crash site so she could be buried near the closest thing they had to a home. He tells her he thinks that no matter what he tells anyone, he’s essentially a dead man. Ana says that if he doesn’t draw her a map to the balloon, he’s going to prove himself right.
In the jungle, Hurley and Sun come across each other. Hurley doesn’t notice Sun hide the pregnancy test behind her back, and doesn’t think to do the same with the half-eaten Apollo candy bar in his hand. He does some not-so-quick explaining. “Look what I found… in the middle of the jungle and it’s not even melted or nothing. Crazy, huh?” - At first I thought he was just making a dumb excuse, but his stash was in the jungle under a log or something… do these candy bars really not melt? - Sun doesn’t say much, and they part ways. “Later, dude.”
Flashback – Jin and Sun are in a doctor’s office. He gives them the bad news, advanced endometriosis – scar tissue - is blocking Sun’s fallopian tubes, and it will be impossible for her to ever have a child. Jin gets angry and accuses Sun of knowing this before they were married. “Oh yes, I was trying to trap the son of a fisherman.”
Yowtch, Sun ...harsh. Jin throws a fit and storms off.
Under the hatch, Jack is moping while Locke is literally screwing around with something. Ana pounds on the door to be let out. She tells them she's only gotten the same story they've already heard from him, but she wants some more alone time tomorrow, after he’s had time to think. If that’s alright with Jack. “I didn’t tell anyone, Ana.”
“No worries, man.”
The Professor and Gilligan are making two big dining room tables? Is Eko building a mess hall and not a church? Christmas dinner? Ana summons up her courage to ask Sayid if she can talk to him alone. Charlie spills that he already knows about Henry, so Ana shows both of them the crude map to the balloon Gale drew for her. Nice. Sayid’s got some frigging grody thumbnails… He asks her if Jack and Locke know about this. “Jack and Locke are a little too busy worrying about Locke and Jack.”
Charlie likes that one, and the three of them head off to find the balloon. Later on in the jungle they come across one of the landmarks noted on the map. Sayid is hardly optimistic, pointing out that just because the map is accurate doesn’t mean that it’s leading them to a balloon. “Maybe not, but at least we’re on the right island,” quips Ana.
Charlie likes this one too. As they walk away, Charlie asks Ana if she’s checking out his bum… she’s not, she’s checking out his gun. She tells him he should give it to someone who knows how to use it. (hey, he knows enough to have killed Ethan with one) As Charlie recalls, the last time she had a gun she murdered someone. Sayid comes over, and Charlie starts to hand the gun to Ana… only to pull it away at the last second and hand it to Sayid. Psyche!
Charlie likes his joke the best.
On the beach, Sun and Kate are waiting on the results. Kate tells Sun she’s taken a pregnancy test before, but doesn’t share the results. Maybe that’s why she killed her step-real-dad?? Sun thanks Kate for not asking any questions, and Kate… doesn’t ask any questions. Sun’s pregnant. They go and double check with Jack, who tells them the test is accurate. Sun asks to keep it quiet, and explains that her reasons for not wanting to tell Jin yet are complicated. “As complicated as Jin being the last person on the island to find out you spoke English?” asks Jack. He tells her he’s no expert (as in he didn’t know his wife was cheating on him?), but that she should tell Jin everything, the whole truth. I think he’s talking indirectly to Kate here as well, if she tells him the whole truth about herself, he’ll take down the wall he put up between them. He doesn’t take his own advice when Kate asks him if everything is okay, though.
Flashback – Great shot of Sun’s reflection in a window, set over the Seoul skyline at sunset. Jae appears next to her. She tells him what the doctor told her, and that she was glad for it. When she reveals her plan to leave Jin and move to America, he tells her she can’t run away from her life. “And Jin? Is he my life?”
Again it seems there’s something between these two. hmmmm...
Nighttime in the jungle, and Charlie’s sleeping while Ana and Sayid sit by the fire. This has to be tough for her. She tells Sayid that people don’t like her, – c’mon, if you’re an actress you should know not to read the message boards! – and that she’s given up trying to get people to like her. “I am what I am (and that’s all that I yam!)."
“But you, you got a good reason to hate me. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I did.”
It wasn’t Ana that killed Shannon, says Sayid, it was them. “…and once we find out he is one of them, then something will have to be done.”
The next morning, Sayid is watching over a sleeping Ana, and she wakes as Charlie arrives with some mangos. It starts to rain (oh shit.) so they move out, and shortly thereafter come across the clearing on the map where the balloon supposedly crashed. There’s no large smiley balloon in sight. It looks like a trap, and it’s raining. They decide to search a little more thoroughly before condemning Henry. Possibly a tragic error in judgment here.
On the beach, under a clear blue sky, Bernard is trying to catch some oysters to find a pearl for Rose (he could give her a whole necklace of pearls without involving any oysters at all ...except maybe as an appetizer?) Total cheesy-sitcom-couple-situation-comedy-storyline here. Here comes Sawyer, calling Jin “daddy-o” and “papa-san”. Bernard catches on, as we hear he and Sawyers conversation thru Jin’s ears (it's just played backwards). It seems that to Koreans, all English speakers sound like the little man from another place from Twin Peaks. Good to know. Okay, I can usually figure out Sawyer’s nickname reasoning, but calling Bernard “Suzy”? Does anyone get that?
Awww, Jin’s replanting Sun’s garden. She finds him there, “fixing a mistake.” He needs her, he can’t talk to anyone, he can’t understand them. “I need you, Sun.”
She tells him she’s knocked up, and he’s overjoyed! She still needs to tell him something. Did she sleep with her tutor after all?
Flashback – Sun’s walkin’ the dog, and the doc from the fertility clinic pulls up next to her. He tells her that it’s not her, it’s Jin who’s infertile. He was afraid of what would have happened if he told the type of man who worked for her father he was impotent. He “…would burn my practice to the ground.” (Nice subtitling here… “you’re husband” rather than ”your husband”. D’oh!)
Back in the garden Jin wants to know how she could be pregnant if he’s been shooting blanks. Sun swears to him that she’s never been with another man, and that’s the truth. “Then it’s a miracle!” He embraces Sun, and it looks like the Eagles were right… you can’t hide those lyin’ eyes.
You poor bastard, Jin. They rebuild the garden together while discussing baby names. Jin wants to tell everyone, and she tells him Kate, Jack, and Sawyer know. “Daddy-o”, Jin gets it now, and tells her Bernard knows too. He gets up to go, but Sun wants to spend some time alone up here before she goes back to camp. Testing the new boundaries? She surprises both of them by telling him she loves him as he’s walking away, and he stops to give her a kiss and tell her, “I love you” in English. Sun holds her belly and smiles, but do I still see a little lyin’ in those eyes?
Henry’s reading The Brothers K in the cell. Jack comes in and Henry reads aloud, “Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those whom they have slain.”
So what’s the difference? Either way you end up dead, Jack tells him. “That’s the spirit!” This Henry is one creepy guy. Jack invites him out of the cell (idiot) for some Dharma Initiative Breakfast O’s. Locke’s a little stunned to see that Jack has let Henry out. He asks them what the computer is for, to which Jack replies, “nothing.” Henry is shocked that they aren’t more curious about everything around them. Jack tells him to eat his breakfast. Henry assumes he’s getting this treatment for drawing the map for Ana Lucia, and tells them so, to their amazement.
“Wow, you guys have some real trust issues, don’t you?
“Of course, if I was one of them, these people that you seem to think are your enemies, what would I do? Well, there’d be no balloon, so I’d draw a map to a real secluded place… like a cave, or some underbrush… a good place for a trap, an ambush. And when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them. And then they’d use them to trade for me.
“I guess it’s a good thing I’m not one of them, huh?
“You guys got any milk?”
