So Jack’s moving – into Sawyer’s old bear cage. Juliet’s taking his old cell. There was a woman he passed in the hallway on the way out… Was she the jewelry store woman from Desmond’s “flashback” last week? The temptation is strong to go check out the fan forums right now, to see what everyone else thinks, but I’m trying to stay disciplined so I don’t become swayed before viewing the episode in its entirety. And she’s “the sherriff?”
Attractive Asian Woman from the promos helps Jack fly his kite on a beach – a much more pleasant beach with cold beers where people don’t get randomly attacked and abducted. And she’s showing a lot of breast. I didn’t quite catch her name – and even if I did, I’m sure I wouldn’t spell it properly.
Karl seems to have absorbed a bit of his brainwashing, quoting “God loves you as he loved Jacob,” to Sawyer. But he’s also quite helpful, answering questions for the freshly escaped Sawyer and Kate. For the record, the Others only work on Alcatraz. “Projects.” The Others do live on the original plane crash island. And Karl has a backyard, where he and Alex named a constellation “the teddy bear.” Aww, how sweet.
Isabel. No, not the jewelry store woman. Just a vague resemblance in passing. And she knows that Jack is lying about Juliet asking him to kill Ben. Did Juliet already confess the truth? Or was she in on it?
Cindy, the kids, everyone who was taken… they’re all there on Alcatraz. The kids want to know how Ana-Lucia is. I don’t think they’d like how that conversation went. Oh, and the boy has his teddy bear back – after Jin and Mr. Eko saw it being toted through the jungle way back when.
I’m very curious as to the reason why the Others will kill Karl if he goes back “home” to find Alex. We’ve got twenty minutes left; I wonder if that answer is forthcoming this week. I hope it is.
Jack and Alex have a heart-to-heart. I’m thinking that he’s going to go fix Ben’s infection so he’ll recover and tell Isabel not to kill Juliet for killing Pickett.
Ethan was their surgeon. That makes sense, considering what we saw in “Maternity Leave.”
It was hard to tell because Attractive Asian Woman was whispering and my furnace came on during the scene. I think she said that her Gift – I heard the capital – was that she sees people and marks them. That’s what her tattooing is. And that, apparently, is what Jack’s tattoos are – the mark of what he is. I will be looking up exactly what she said he is, because I caught none of her words after “leader” except for “angry.” So Jack got marked – and quite a beat down for it.
And Juliet got marked – I guess branded would be more specific. Ouch. Better that than executed, I suppose. At least it’s on her back, and not like the scarlet letter or something.
Juliet just confirmed that Ben considers their little village from the book club flashback “home.” Thinking back, Ben promised he would take Jack off the island, that he would take him home. But they were on Alcatraz when he said that – unbeknownst to Jack – so going back to the village now would fulfill the letter of Ben’s promise, if not the spirit in which Jack understood it.
I can’t wait to see where this goes.
