Synopsis

Teaser

In flashback, a 12 year-old Jack is being told to stay down by a bigger boy as his friend gets beaten by another bully. Jack defies the bigger boy and gets punched in the face.

Returning to the present, Jack is awakened by a panicked Charley. There’s a woman drowning far off in the ocean and Charley says he can’t swim. Jack swims out to save someone…dives down and comes up with…Boone. Boone is obviously drowning too but asks if Jack has saved the woman. Jack then looks about and the woman is still yelling for help some distance off. Boone says to let him swim in and to go save the woman, but Jack elects to swim in with him first and then goes swimming back out to save the woman.

Act One

Boone sits staring off into the ocean, only losing concentration as he silently watches a wet but dressed Jack walk by. Jack and Kate stroll down the beach. Jack asks who the now dead woman was. Kate explains what little history they know of her. The woman had gone swimming and had got caught by the rip tide. Jack feels bad because they have been there 6 days and he didn’t know her, had never talked to her. We learn that there are now only 46 of them left. Kate tells him he tried, but Jack cuts her off saying that he hadn’t; that he had made a decision to save Boone and then go back for her. He says he decided not to go after her.

It is at this point Jack sees the mysterious blue suited man standing in the ocean. He asks Kate if she saw him. Kate obviously didn’t see anyone and she asks when was the last time Jack slept. Jack ignores her and walks away.

It’s still morning and Walt is standing next to his father, brushing his teeth with a plant as Sun had showed him. Michael asks what he is doing and who showed him. He explains that Sun did. His father seems a little surly and tells him gruffly not to drink the salt water. When Walt asks his father why. He tersely says: Just don’t swallow it.” Walt spits it out.

We cut to Sun in the distance watching the father and son on the beach. Jin interrupts her and they converse. He says she needs water. She says that she is alright. Then she asks him when someone will tell them what to do. He looks puzzled. She says that she doesn’t think anyone is coming. He tells her that someone will come. She then says the others ignore them. Jin says that they will be fine… they don’t need anyone else. He then tells her that he will tell her what to do. Sun quiets but doesn’t look happy.

We move down the beach to Shannon striding up to Sawyer who is reading a book. She attempts to get some bug repellant from Sawyer. Sawyer appends the nick-name “Sticks” on her, referring to her legs. They dicker over a price, with Sawyer heavy on the innuendo. Finally he ticks her off enough that she throws the can of bug spray back at him and goes striding off. Sawyer just smiles and continues reading.

Claire walks down the beach and stops at Kate, asking if she has found a hair brush in any of the luggage. She sits down and they bond as Kate sorts practical clothes from the impractical. Claire starts helping her and then starts chattering about astrology, asking if Kate is a Gemini. Kate says she is. When Claire offers to do Kate’s astrological chart, Kate gives her a ‘look’. But they laugh and evidently go on talking.

Hurley finds Jack and explains to him they have a problem. He shows him and Charley that there are only 18 bottles of water left. Charley and Hurley keep tossing out possible ideas about finding water and rationing, mostly not great ones. Jack declines to take charge and walks away saying he refuses to decide anything.

We go into flashback. Jack’s father is drinking a scotch and he questions young Jack about the fight we witnessed earlier. Jack obliquely says he was defending the other boy. Jack’s father goes into a meandering story about losing a patient that day, a boy like Jack. He finally gives Jack the confusing message of “Don’t choose. Don’t try to save everyone. Because, when you fail, you don’t have what it takes.”

We come to the present with Boone castigating Jack for not leaving him to make it back to shore alone so he could save the woman. He says that Jack should have saved her. Then he questions Jack’s leadership. Jack strides off saying “You didn’t save her either.” Boone tells him that he isn’t the only one that knows how to do things; that he runs a business. His voice fades out as Jack’s attention is once more drawn to the mysterious blue-suited man standing in the distance. He follows the man into the forest. He comes up to the man standing with his back to him. As he reaches out to take him by the shoulder, the figure turns and it’s his father. Jack, shaken, stumbles and falls to the ground. Jack’s father walks off.

Act Two

Jack picks himself up from the ground, looking about for his father. He goes into another flashback. A current-aged Jack is being talked to by his mother. She guilts him into going after his father, who is friendless and she says “won’t take care of himself.” It is mentioned that this has happened before. Jack refuses. She very passively/aggressively tells him that he doesn’t have a choice “after what you did.” Jack relents and asks where he is. She says that he is in Australia.

We come back to the present. Claire has collapsed on the beach and Kate takes charge. Charley goes for water and discovers their small stash has been stolen.

We cut to Kate and Sayid talking to Locke. Locke quickly makes decisions, saying basically that the rest don’t need to know the water situation yet. He tells them that they , Sayid and Kate, should stay to be in charge with the doctor gone and that he will go look for water, since he “knows where to look.”

We cut to Jack who is wandering about in the jungle, agitated. He has another flashback. Jack is in an Australian hotel room with the hotel manager. His father has been gone for three days, his belongings still in the room, including his wallet. The manager infers that Mr. Shephard’s (Jack’s) father was drunk and causing a scene a few days before. There are indeed medications on a night stand and booze bottles in a drawer. Jack cuts him off, angrily, saying that his father is a head of surgery. The manager tells Jack that perhaps he should contact the police.

We return to the present. Jack spies his father once more in the jungle and follows him, running after him. He loses sight and then spies him again. As he runs after him, he trips and falls over a cliff, narrowly grabbing a root with one hand.

Act Three

As Jack hangs onto the root, a hand slips over the edge towards him. Then the face of Locke appears and he hauls him back up to safety, both lying on the ground. When asked if Jack is okay, Jack breaks into almost hysterical laughter.

Back on the beach, Charley gives Claire the tiny bit of water they have left after the theft. Charley tries to comfort Claire with the fact that Locke is out looking for water.

We see that Charley has “Living is easy with eyes closed” on his shoulder. Claire and Charleyseem to be developing a real friendship.

Meanwhile Hurley informs Sayid and Kate that Jin and Sun have water. When they go to interrogate the couple about where they got their water, Jin indicates it was Sawyer. But, when Kate makes to go confront him, Sayid tells her to wait, that he would only lie and instead they will follow him to the stolen goods.

We then see Sawyer going to a goods stash in the jungle, where he is tackled by Kate. Both Sayid and Kate look through his stuff, but there is no water. Sawyer says he sold the Koreans his last personal bottle for a fish and that he isn’t the thief. He then gives Kate the old marshal badge saying “seeing as there’s a new sheriff in town, ought to make it official.” Kate looks troubled and angry at him and leaves.

Back in the jungle, Locke and Jack converse. Jack asks about the others on the beach. Locke tells him that the people are thirsty, hungry and waiting to be rescued. And, that they are waiting for someone to tell them what to do. Jack says that he can’t, that he is not a leader. Locke tells him that they all treat him like one. Jack says that he will fail. Locke asks why he is out in the jungle. When Jack tells him that he thinks he’s crazy, Locke assures him that he is not. Jack tells Locke that he is chasing someone that is not there. Locke refers to this as the White Rabbit. Jack postulates that it might be a hallucination due to his tiredness and stress. Locke says that island is “special.” He asks the question “What if everything that happens here happens for a reason.” He says he looked into the eye of the island and what he saw was beautiful. Locke then leaves Jack, telling him to continue his search because “a leader can’t lead ‘til he knows where he’s going.”

Act Four

Later that night as Jack sits in front of a fire, still in the jungle alone, he has another flashback. A coroner tells Jack that the man they are about to see suffered a heart attack probably brought on by his excessive drinking. Jack then identifies the body as his father.

He comes out of his flashback, hearing a rattling noise that sounds very much like the sound of ice tinkling in his father’s scotch glass from earlier in the episode. As he goes to explore the sound in the dark, he comes upon a small waterfall and plenty of clean looking water in a pool. He finds a child’s doll lying in a small stream trickling from there and then more of them lying in a trail. It leads back into the jungle where he spies the remains of part of a jet and what appears to be a cave. As he goes to explore, the first thing he happens upon is a casket, lying in the wreckage. Jack goes into another flashback.

Jack is standing at a desk in an airport. He is arguing with a clerk. In the background, Jin looks on from a line. It seems that they aren’t allowing his father’s body on the plane due to improper documentation. Jack loses his cool for a moment then calms down. He asks her a favor. He explains to the clerk that in 16 hours he needs be in LAX and the coffin to clear customs and a hearse to take the coffin to a cemetery. He says he can’t wait. He says he needs it to be done and to be over; that he needs to bury his father.

Jack comes back to the present. He hesitantly opens the coffin. It is empty. Angrily, he picks up a limb and repeatedly smashes the coffin into splinters.

Act Five

Back at the beach, someone creeps into the tent where the dehydrated Claire is resting, with three bottles of water and offers her a drink. It is Boone. He is discovered in the act by Charley, who is very upset, and Charley tosses Boone out of the tent. People begin gathering as Charley questions Boone heatedly. Boone admits he took the water, that someone had to take control with Jack gone. Charley keeps shoving the disconcerted Boone around and it looks like a fight is going to start when Jack appears and tells them to leave Boone alone.

Jack says it’s been six days and that they are all still waiting. What if they aren’t rescued, he asks. He says that they have to stop waiting and start figuring things out. He tells them they can’t do it “every man for himself” and that they need to start organizing and figure out how to survive. He then tells them that he found water and that at first light he will take some to go fetch it. And for those that don’t want to go, to start doing something else to contribute. He then gives the following speech:

“Last week most of us were strangers. But we are all here now, and God knows how long we are going to be here. But if we can’t live together, we are going to die alone.”

The crowd looks pensive and Kate looks at Jack with great emotion.

The water that Boone returned is divvied among the survivors. Sun thanks Jin for getting her water and he replies, “That’s what husbands do.” Michael gives Vincent some of their water while Walt sleeps nearby. Sawyer walks by Boone who is sitting alone and staring off into the distance. “How does it feel,” he asks. Boone asks what. Sawyer replies, “Taking my place at the top of the hated list. Sucks don’t it?” Boone doesn’t reply and Sawyer grins and moves on. Kate brings Jack a cup of water and, sitting beside him, asks him where he was that day. He said he had to take care of a few things. She gets him to open up. He tells her that his father died in Sydney. She says she is sorry. Jack says he is sorry too.

An Empty Bottle: Coming Out of Denial

A Lot More Than A Three Hour Tour

The Bible says it took 6 days for God to create the earth. In the 6 days that our castaways have been on their island, they are discovering it to be a whole new world. The ways they are dealing with it are as diverse as the people themselves. Some seem to be dealing with reality, like Kate, Sayid, Locke, Claire and Sawyer. Others have been in nearly complete denial like Shannon. They ran out of food in four days. That is somewhat understandable. They were confused, hurt, shocked and were not looking to the future. But then, in two more days, they run into the same problem with water. That simply points to being in complete denial about their circumstance. There are the people that are on the cusp, like Boone, Michael and Walt, Jin and Sun and Charley and Hurley

And then there is Jack, our stalwart Dudley Do-Right, great in any crisis. Except, now that it’s come decision time, instead of reaction time, Jack isn’t fairing so well. He is plagued by self-doubt. When the affair was about the Marshal, we assumed that he was unable to end the man’s life himself because of his medical oath. Now, we can look back on that with some different perspective.

Life Through the Bottom of a Glass

It’s obvious that Jack has come from a highly dysfunctional family. His father is an alcoholic and possibly even more. He definitely has some internal issues and stress that he self-medicated over. It seems that Dr. Shephard’s way of dealing with reality was to not deal at all. He simply did what was expected and then came home and shut down, dulling his mind with television otherness and, presumably, many glasses of liquor. When he chooses to pass on any form of education to Jack, it comes in the form of rambling, vague analogies, that really don’t make much sense, other than “Don’t try; you aren’t strong enough to deal with failure.” Was his father able to deal with failure? From the scene we saw and the aftermath later in his life, obviously not.

But, Jack evidently learned his lessons. As an adult, a medically trained adult, we see him unwilling to go find his father. Was this because he was tired of doing so, knowing it was futile? Or was it because he didn’t want to fail, again? The first scene we have of Jack is him asking the waitress for a stronger drink. Now we know what that was for. It wasn’t to steady him. It wasn’t a temporary fix for aerophobia, but a way for him to shut down. A lesson well learned from his father. Yet, Jack had just learned his father had died from complications due to drinking. He himself, medically trained, knows the long-term effects of alcohol. Yet, he drinks. Jack is in denial.

When his mother browbeats him into searching for his missing father, we see the other side of his psychological make up. She knows all the right buttons to push with Jack. She knows how to use guilt on him. While we are left in the dark knowing just what it is that Jack has done, the tone suggests it was something large and something nearly unforgivable. Jack seems to have grown up in a two parent abusive home. It’s amazing he functions as well as he does, with neither parent being a good role-model.

Jack and the (Pine) Box

There’s no doubt about it, Jack is teetering on the edge. Whether the visions of his father were real, or his dehydrated, stressed out, sleep-deprived imaginations, there is no doubt he was truly pursuing his father. Jack is apparently still trying to learn what it is to be a man himself. I think it is interesting that when he discovers that the man he seeks is his father is when he tumbles over the precipice. And even more interesting to note just who it is that pulls him back up: Locke.

Locke went on his own walkabout only a day or two before and certainly came back a changed man. As unsure as Jack is of any decision, Locke seems to know exactly what he needs to do. And Locke is the one that pulls him into his new world. He confirms Jack’s need to search for what is troubling him, knowing that he will be useless without it. And Locke is practical. He knows that the people follow Jack, regardless of whether he is a good leader. His job, make Jack into the best man he can so everyone can survive. I think it is also interesting to note here that Jack’s last name (spoken by the Hotel manager) is “Shephard.” Jack does have quite a flock that needs tending to back on the beach.

In a story where we are beginning to wonder if what we see is all real and mundane, I think Locke being Jack’s savior from his cliff fall is hugely important. Locke has pulled him into his wonderland of miraculous things. It is from that point on that Jack experiences his successes. The very fact that Locke found him in just the nick of time itself is miraculous. He then finds the water, which often symbolizes life and rebirth.. He was seeking his father and succeeds in finding his casket. Upon opening it, he finds it an empty shell, much like what his father was, especially by the end. I think his crushing that casket was to set himself free. He did his best to find his father, both at his mother’s request in real life and then the vision on the island. I think he knows that his father was beyond “finding” even if he had been alive and that it’s okay to accept defeat when your best decisions don’t pan out. For Jack, this island is a new world and he is a new man within it and within himself.

A Fish Out of Water

At first glance Sawyer seems almost a despicable character. He scavenges from the dead and then turns around and sells his goods to the other survivors. Yet, he is doing what he needs to survive. Indeed, he did a job that others were unwilling to do. It seems only fair that he earn his keep from it. The two instances we see Sawyer selling his goods are very contrasting. First, Shannon comes to him requesting bug repellant. Now, obviously, bug bites are irritating and indeed could be life threatening if one were allergic or if they were swarming. However, being as the others do not seem to be complaining about a pest nuisance or overly itchy, even, I think we can assume that this is mostly a luxury need for Shannon; a comfort purchase, if you will. So what does Sawyer ask for in return: an obscene amount of money. He insinuates that he would be willing to let her take out an IOU repayable in proverbial “trade.” He requests a luxury for him for a luxury for her. Shannon is obviously angered by this and leaves. Sawyer is fairly unfazed. He still has the item and eventually if she wants it bad enough, she’ll meet his price, or bargain with something he wants.

However, when the water runs low, Sawyer trades what little he has left to someone that obviously needs it: Jin and Sun. And he does so for an item that is not a luxury: food. While Sawyer could probably go many days without eating since he appears to be in fine health, he does gamble his water that he would assuredly need in a day or two. And he doesn’t play huge games with it, he trades it evidently fairly for a single fish. Both parties went away satisfied. In his own way, Sawyer is already working for the benefit of the group. In some ways in an even higher plateau. He demonstrated a special ability (his non-squeamishness when it came to dealing with the dead) and sought payment for that from another with a special talent (Jin and his fishing skills.)

It’s fairly obvious that Sawyer came from some sort of tougher life than many of the other castaways. He has learned that you rely on yourself to survive. I think that being involved in a large group of dependable and dependant people is something very new for him. But, he is showing that he knows, if not needing the others to survive, they can at least make it easier for him and he is generous with certain things. His returning of the wallets in “Walkabout” so they could hold a funeral showed remarkable conscience. His talk with Kate about ending the marshal’s life for the benefit of all and then his willingness to do the job himself, when obviously it troubled him afterwards, was also telling. His talk to Boone depicts the fact that he is not only aware of how others have viewed him, but that it concerns him. And at the same time, they can even be looked at as words of comfort to Boone, affirmation that it’s okay to not always be the “good guy” if you are doing what you think is necessary. I believe these are all signs of man that is growing and learning and evolving. And hardly despicable at all. He may not be looking directly into the mirror at himself, but he has tossed himself a few sidelong glances.

Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed

Or, so says the tattoo emblazoned upon Charley’s left bicep. How very true, especially for this little guy. Charley was formerly a in a famous rock band. That is anything but living in the real world. He has had his drug habit for apparently some time. Then, he found himself stuck on this island and his eyes forced wide open. Charley is learning quickly you can’t get by on past deeds, especially when they have no real meaning in the world you are now living. Ability to play a bass or tribal pipes while stoned off your gourd just isn’t going to fill your belly with food or keep you warm at night.

Fortunately, it seems Charley is willing and capable of learning. He does manage to catch a fish even though he has never tried before. And he has been good about following directions and being helpful to the others. Charley is a man that is comfortable knowing he has his limitations. However, he has a good heart. In Shannon he was simply seeking the companionship of a pretty girl. Now, not that I take him for being all innocent in his pursuit of her (He was in a band called Driveshaft!), but there was something honest about it. And he went about it in such a nice and romantic way. . And he was willing to work for it. Then, his comforting of Claire was so sweet. When she said she felt like she was a time bomb, ticking and scaring the others, I took that even deeper. I suspect that the man that got her pregnant left her alone with it and that it wasn’t her choice at all. But when Charley says “You don’t scare me.” I believe him. I think Charley’s eyes are opening up. He knows that he isn’t going to be getting off this island anytime soon and he knows that his little bag of drugs is not going to stretch. I think he is already looking in the mirror at himself and seeing the beast that will soon be chomping at him over his shoulder: a beast he was so afraid of that he was willing to go into the unknown with Jack and Kate in the Pilot and face that beast instead. If he can conquer that beast, then a baby won’t scare him a bit.

Sudden Clarity Can Blind

Boone early on looked at Jack with some sort of idolization. You could see it in his eyes and with his desire to help Jack at every turn. Yet, when he sees that Jack first lets him down by not being able to save the woman and then by taking off, leaving everyone in a lurch, he suffers disappointment. He obviously believed that Jack was Superman, and that he indeed did have all the right answers. When this veil is lifted from his eyes, Boone is blinded by the truth. Instead of being hesitant about choosing the right action or none at all, he jumps to his first assumption that something has to be done …right now! He doesn’t look ahead to the consequences of his actions and how stealing the water will only make things worse. He doesn’t have any kind of plan after securing it at all. While his heart is in the right place, with his trying to help Claire and his admission once he started his course of action it all got out of hand, he is clearly not a visionary and is best suited in that peripheral role of helper.

Reflections

So where does that leave the others? Hurley and the unnamed castaways are pretty sure to follow the lead of these people that are on their own trip to find themselves. They have a leader in Jack and leadership in Kate and Sayid and Locke. They have Sawyer, a man that is not afraid to get things done and a survivor. All in all, they could have found themselves in a much worse predicament. But they have people that are capable of having vision and people that have strength. Hopefully by looking at them, they will figure out for themselves how to act and what to do. Hopefully they can look forward and figure things out. The leaders will have to make tough choices, and assuredly some of them will be wrong. But you can’t live life without making decisions. As long as your eyes are open and you are thinking, that’s about the best you can do. And, you have to be able to live with that.

What Worked?

· This episode had some great depth. Every single storyline thread was about growth and seeing the truth.

· I particularly like how they handled the vision of Jack’s father. They left it still uncertain if it’s supernatural or if it was just a hallucination.

· Let me just say it: “Sticks!” and “Mr Myagi.” Sawyer, you’re my hero!

· “You tell me: would you rather meet in a dark alley whatever’s out there or the old geezer with 400 knives?”

What Didn’t?

· The dialogue from Jack’s father to Jack in the early flashback. Having viewed it now about 6 times, I still don’t quite understand for sure why his Dad was rambling on about how Jack didn’t have what it took to make hard decisions. What was it about entering the fight to save presumably his friend that so irritated his father. It was supposed to have been illuminating about Jack’s indecision problem but it left me going “huh? Was he upset because he entered the fight? Was he upset because he lost the fight? It seemed to me that Jack was faced with a hard decision and made a choice and stayed the course. I just don’t see why his father was disappointed in the decision or action he took.

· Why, oh why, did you feel the need to cut so many of your limited supply of sealable bottles in half to make glasses? Did the little threaded edges hurt your lips? Don’t you think it might be nice to store some of that distant water in sealable containers?

Questions

Where is Jack’s father? Why is that coffin empty? Did you have the body buried in Australia and only ship home a casket to fool everyone else so you could be done with it, Jack?

Were those “hallucinations” or “visions” of Jack’s dearly departed?

Was that the tail of the plane?

What is the meaning of all those dolls?

Is Locke himself now a part of the island’s magic, and is that how he miraculously saved Jack?

The Missing: Update

Jack – Matthew Fox

Jack, you are more of a mess than I ever figured! Sorry about your dad, but, maybe it’s for the best. He wasn’t happy in this life. Maybe next time he will come back as something a little less challenged…say, a shrimp?

Kate – Evangeline Lilly

Darling, just tell the man that you love him and want to bear 8 of his babies. If you make one more googly-eye at Jack, I may get ill. And, you’re a Gemini. Two-faced! Who woulda thought? Well, the marshal, but, he’s gone.

Charlie – Dominic Monaghan

Dude! Like… wow! I was more impressed by you this time than almost anyone else. You soundly attempted to cache the water until a plan was made (okay, an unlocked suitcase in the middle of everyone isn’t a great place, but it was more than the others were doing. Then you really comforted Claire, managing to dredge up water from God knows where. You truly aren’t afraid of that little alien she has growing in her tummy, either. Could see it in your eyes. And finally, whoa! You were doin’ some serious and appropriate tail-whuppin’ on Boone. Shame you didn’t try the same technique on Shannon. Oh well, I guess being a gentleman has it’s disadvantages. Besides, he probably ate that fish with her, didn’t he?

Hurley – Jorge Garcia

Divining rods? Drug sniffing dogs? Of course that latter was a great line. Shame they didn’t make Charley-boy look suddenly a little shifty when you mentioned it *Hee!* Anyway, I think I have finally figured out your position in this bunch: You are the face of the faceless survivors. Born to follow and follow only.

Claire – Emilie de Ravin

You are such the sweetie! Hook up with Charley, please. He’ll be happy to help out with that kiddo for just a few nice words and maybe the occasional romp in the hay. And he can fish now! Sorta.

Boone – Ian Somerhalder

and

Shannon – Maggie Grace

“Sticks” and “Stones for Brains.” Your parents must be soooo proud!

“Sticks,” honey, you really ought go ahead and trade for that bug spray with Sawyer. Something tells me that the sex would be good and it’s not like I think you’ve been saving it all this time anyway.

Boone, stick with the following. Team up with Hurley and then listen to Charley as he forms you into a work detail for Sayid. And what’s up with the nearly drowning while saving the lady? I thought you said you were a lifeguard?

Sayid – Naveen Andrews

Hmmm. Were you getting ready to use some of that “special” training on Sun and Jin? Jin, you can take apart and use for anatomy lessons for all I care, but leave that poor Sun alone. She’s got enough problems being married to that jerk as it is.

Michael – Harold Perineau

and

Walt – Malcom David Kelley

Michael, get the stick out of your butt. The boy was brushing his teeth, all on his own! I know you were gored a couple days ago, but sheesh, did you wake up on the wrong side of the beach or what? And speaking of that goring… what happened to it?

Walt, I liked you better here than at any other time. Oh, wait, you only had two scenes and one was asleep and the other quietly sulking. Oh well, keep it up!

Sawyer – Josh Holloway

My man! Flawless! You’re an “optimist.” *still chuckling* How about “opportunist?” Anyway, I already defended you above. And Shannon? I really hope you are just after her bod, cause I would hate to see you paired for the long term. Now that Kate on the other hand.. you seem to rub her just a little too wrong if you get my drift?

Locke – Terry O’Quinn

You are loving every miunte of this, aren’t you? Way to go, on saving Jack. I noticed you never came back from your water search. Stumble onto a rhino to bring back for a buffet?

Jin – Daniel Dae Kim

and

Sun – Yunjin Kim

She’s not happy with you Jin. Watch out! You might give her water but she needs more than that from her husband. So far, you are one of the ones that has learned the least on this island.

Sun, be patient. Apparently your hubby may soon be “axed” to leave the island.

The Dog (Vincent)

Awww, see, Dad likes you! All the water you can drink, big boy. Maybe next week he will make you a chew toy out of that bastard Jin’s right arm!
