Synopsis

 

Teaser

Kate walks down the beach, a large bunch of green bananas slung over her shoulder. She spies a small pile of clothes and possessions lying on the sand. Atop them is a book. She picks it up and it’s Watership Down. A voice comes from the waves saying “It’s a helluva a book.” A swimming Sawyer makes his way up from the water, revealing himself to be nude. “It’s about bunnies,” he says with a smile.” Kate watches him approach, her eyes not averted but sort of shy all the same. Finally when he gets close, she says with a little smile “It must be cold without your trunks.” Sawyer laughs and says, “Why don’t you get closer and warm me up?” Kate retorts, “You know how to make a girl feel special, don’t you Sawyer?” She then resumes her walk down the beach with a contemplative Sawyer watching her retreat. He then goes into flashback:

 

Sawyer and a pretty late thirties/early forties woman have just finished making love. She says he is incredible and he replies that he loves her. He asks her what she wants tenderly and she says,”How could I want anything else?” She then notices the time and that he is late for a meeting. He jumps up, dressing quickly and she says that she will wait there for him to return. As he grabs a large briefcase, it spills open, revealing many bundles of cash. He says that she shouldn’t have seen that.

 

We come back to the present and a now dressed Sawyer is walking through the jungle. He comes upon Boone going through his stash of scavenged goods.

 

We change to Sayid being tended to by Jack for his head wound from being clubbed the day before. They are in the caves. He tells Jack what happened. Jack says he will help Sayid find out what happened but as he cautions him not to do anything reckless, Sayid says he will do what is necessary. Just then Boone appears, beaten and bloodied. As the others rush to his aid, Jack asks what happened. Boone says,” Sawyer.”

 

Act One

We open on the beach. Charlie brings Claire some water and he tells her that he is worried about her. She says she is fine. He makes noises about wanting her to move to the caves but she says she is happy on the beach.

 

As Jack tends to Boone, Jack finds out that Boone was looking for Shannon’s inhaler because she has asthma and has been having attacks. Her inhaler had run out and Boone says she had several packed away in his luggage. He had also had a copy of Watership Down in his luggage, the same one that Sawyer has been reading, so he figures Sawyer had found their luggage and has the inhalers.

 

Jack confronts a relaxing Sawyer on the beach. Jack begins going through Sawyers possessions. Jack asks where the inhalers are. He confronts him about beating up Boone for trying to help his sister. Jack is angry and ready to get physical. Sawyer seems reluctant but won’t back down that anything he has is his by possession. At this point Kate comes along and breaks up what is an imminent fight. Jack stalks off and Kate follows him, giving Sawyer a dirty look. Sawyer goes into flashback:

 

We are back with Sawyer and his pretty bedmate. He is hurriedly dressing. Sawyer explains what the money is for: investment in an oil mining company. He says that whatever money is invested will be matched 2 times by the government. It costs at least $300,000 to invest and he has $140,000 and he is supposed to meet a man that wants in for the other $160,000. He says the $140,000 is everything he has and it’s his big chance. The blonde looks thoughtful and then says, instead, why doesn’t she invest her money with his. When Sawyer asks where she would get that kind of money, she says, “my husband.”

 

Back in the present, Kate is following Jack down the beach. Jack says that he is going to “kill him,” meaning Sawyer. He then says that he wouldn’t because they aren’t savages yet. Kate calms Jack down, and asks for him to let her go talk to Sawyer, because Sawyer seems to think they have a connection.

 

Kate approaches Sawyer, who is chopping wood. She asks what he wants for the inhalers. After a pause, Sawyer tells her “a kiss. From you, right now.” Kate tells him that no one is that disgusting, to want a kiss for helping save someone’s life. She then tells him that he acts too hard. That she has seen his letter. This obviously irritates Sawyer dramatically and he whips out the note and forces Kate to read it out-loud. She reads:

 

Dear Mr. Sawyer,

You don’t know who I am but I know who you are and I know what you done. You had sex with my mother and then you stole my dad’s money all away. So, he got angry and he killed my mother and then he killed himself, too.

 

All I know is your name. But one of these days I am gonna find you and give you this letter so you remember what you done to me. You killed my parents, Mr. Sawyer.

 

Sawyer then says, “About that kiss?” Kate is silent, unable to meet his eyes. “No, I didn’t think so,” Sawyer says as he snatches the letter and walks away.

 

 

Act Two

Sayid comes in on Locke, who is whittling a pungee stick with a large hunting knife. Sayid asks Locke for his alibi for the night before. Locke tells him that unfortunately his only alibi is the boar he had been skinning for dinner. Locke then goes through possible motives and means for someone sabotaging Sayid’s distress signal and implicates Sawyer as his possible nemesis. He then hands Sayid the large knife telling him, “just incase there is a next time.”

 

Back in the cave Shannon is having an asthma attack and Jack is trying to relax her. Just about then, Sawyer comes strolling in, filling some personal containers with water. Jack confronts him again, telling him he wants the inhalers. Sawyer gets lippy and Jack punches him hard in the mouth. Sawyer gets back up, telling him that he didn’t think Jack had it in him. Jack hits him again just as hard. Sawyer, mouth bloodied, makes no move to fight back, instead asking, “Is that all you got?” Jack stares at him, frustrated and storms out of the cave. As Sawyer watches him go, he enters another flashback:

 

Sawyer is eating lunch with the blonde and her husband. Sawyer has been introduced as an office co-worker of the wife. Sawyer is acting reluctant about making the deal with the couple. The husband seems reluctant also. The wife urges her husband to look at the money, which Sawyer has with him in the briefcase. The husband does, but still seems unsure. He asks how he even knows if the money is real. Sawyer tells him to take it home with him and look it over, as he wants. Then, seemingly reluctant Sawyer gets up and says this is a bad idea and starts to leave with his back to the couple. The husband calls out after a second for him to wait. Sawyer, his face unseen by the two marks, smiles slyly.

 

Back in current time on the beach, Charley is helping Claire hang up laundry. They discuss the foods they are missing and craving. Charley finds out that she wants peanut butter. He makes a deal with her: if he brings her peanut butter, she has to pack her things and move to the caves. Claire doesn’t believe he can do this, but laughingly makes the deal with him.

 

Back at the caves, Shannon is having an asthma attack. Jack calms her down and gets her to breath slowly through her nose. He says that part of her problem is a panic attack, not just the asthma. Once she relaxes and starts breathing better, he leaves her in Boones care. Sayid follows Jack out of the cave and recruits Jack into a plan to interrogate [read: torture] Sawyer to give them the location of the medicine. Jack is slightly hesitant. Sayid assures him that in ten minutes Sawyer will give them the medicine. Jack agrees and they move off together.

 

Act Three

Charley is following Hurley through the jungle, asking him if he know where any peanut butter might be stashed. Hurley says everything is gone of the food they had from the plane. Charley offends Hurley by kind of implying he might be hording food. Hurley vents a little in Charley’s direction and tells him that he has lost some weight. Charley apologizes and Hurley seems to accept it graciously.

 

Back at the cave Michael is having a hard time cleaning a fish. Sun comes over and tells him softly that she may be able to help Shannon with her asthma.

 

On the beach, Sayid sneaks up while Sawyer is dozing. Waking him, he quickly knocks him out. Jack and Sayid drag him off to seclusion. Kate sees them go by and calls out, alarmed, “If you do this…!”

 

Sawyer, tied kneeling to a tree, wakes up to Jack and Sayid standing over him. Sawyer recognizes what they are about to do. Jack tells him that he is giving him a chance to do the right thing and asks once again for the inhalers. When Sawyer refuses, Sayid tortures him with some bamboo shoots beneath his fingernails. It is excruciatingly painful but Sawyer refuses to tell them anything. Sayid then threatens Sawyer with the knife, saying he will remove an eye. Sawyer relents and says that he will tell Kate and Kate only. He then goes into flashback:

 

Sawyer is standing in a smoky pool hall talking to a man shooting pool alone. The man knows Sawyer is a con man. The money that Sawyer has was loaned to him by this criminal. He has borrowed it from this man for his con of the rich couple. The man wants his money back by the next day, plus an additional fifty percent, or, he threatens Sawyer, he will hurt him for it.

 

Back in the jungle, Kate approaches Sawyer who is still tied to the tree. She has come for the information. Sawyer tells her that he will tell her for the kiss he asked for earlier. She is in disbelief. He then says he has been tied to a tree and tortured and is serious. He asks her if she is willing to let the girl die because she wouldn’t give him a kiss and says she is lucky he isn’t greedy. Kate agrees and comes to him slowly. She leans in and the kiss, at first slowly and then she leans in more hungrily. They both seem to enjoy it. Finally she breaks away and asks him where the medication is. He smiles at her and tells her that he doesn’t have it. He says the book that Boone saw in his possession wound up on shore, and that he never found the inhalers. An infuriated Kate strikes him hard and storms off.

 

Kate walks nearby to where Sayid and Jack are waiting and announces that Sawyer doesn’t have the inhalers. Sayid says he doesn’t believe him and rushes off saying it was Sawyer that destroyed the transceiver. Jack and Kate chase after him, trying to stop him. Sayid reaches Sawyer, who has just managed to loosen his bonds and the two men struggle. Sayid and Sawyer roll over and over, Sayid armed with his knife. Finally Sayid manages to stab Sawyer in the upper arm. Jack rushes up and sees that Sayid has struck an artery and blood is spurting form Sawyer’s arm. Jack quickly compresses the wound and yells for Sayid to run and fetch his medical bag.

 

Act Four

Sayid rushes into the caves. Boone asks about the blood on Sayid's clothes. He tells him its Sawyers. Boone seems upset that they interrogated Sawyer without him being there and makes to leave with Sayid, who has now found the doctors bag. Shannon begs Boone not to leave her, and he returns to her side as Sayid rushes back to the doctor alone.

 

As Sayid runs by, Michael has returned to camp and shows Sun some small branches with leaves attached to them. She tells him that he has done well and that they are the right ones. Just then, Jin walks up on her and Michael. It is unsure if he heard her speaking English, but he is obviously upset with her. He has some words with her in Korean that are not translated and Sun rushes away with the branches. Michael steps forward and looks Jin in the eye and tells him “Don’t! Just don’t.” Jin stares hatefully at him but does nothing and Michael walks away.

 

Back by the tree, Jack is keeping pressure on the severe wound. Sawyer continually goads him, trying to get him to let him die, finally ending with “if the tables were turned, I would watch you die.” He then goes into another flashback:

 

Sawyer is in the rich couples house. They have given him the money, it’s locked up in his briefcase and it’s a done deal. Sawyer is preparing to leave, saying that by this time next week they will have tripled their money. Just then, a little boy of about four or five walks into the room and asks his mom if she will read to him. She smiles and tells him in a few minutes. Sawyer stares at the little boy and then says, that the deal is off. The man is outraged, asking if Sawyer knows what he had to do to get that money in one day. Sawyer insists the deal is over and he is walking away. He pushes past the man and simply drops the briefcase on the floor, leaving all the money behind. He walks out the front door without looking back.

 

Once again on the beach, a bandaged Sawyer is laying on his pallet. Kate is sitting next to him and tells him he is lucky to be alive. She then tells him that Jack is in the cave attending to Shannon. Kate pulls out the letter, saying she had read and re-read it, trying to figure out why he had gone through everything, when he didn’t have the inhalers in the first place. Then she points out the letter was written in 1976. She figures that letter wasn’t written to him, but by him and that he isn’t Sawyer. Sawyer tells her that he wrote the letter and had intended to find the man who did that to his family. He say then, though, at age nineteen, he had gotten into some trouble and owed some money and he had swindled a couple for six thousand dollars. That the real tragedy is that he had become the man he was hunting. He finishes his story by telling her not to feel sorry for him. He then grabs the letter from Kate and angrily tells her to leave. She walks away and he lays there, letter clutched to his chest, staring off into the past.

 

Act Five

Jack appears at the cave. Sun is rubbing a balm on her chest. Shannon appears to feel better. Jack walks over and smells the compound and then shakes his head: it contains eucalyptus. Boone says it’s like a miracle. Jack thanks Sun for helping and Sun smiles at him and nods. Jin looks on from a distance, seeming thoughtful.

 

Back on the beach Charley strides up to Claire who is napping. He begins gathering her belongings. When asked what he is doing, he says hat she is moving to the caves. Excitedly she says,” You didn’t?” He smiles and tells her it’s extra smooth though. HE reaches into his pack and pulls out an empty clear jar. She says it’s empty; he looks down in seeming surprise and says, “No, it’s full. Full to the brim with stick to your mouth extra smooth." He then pantomimes digging his finger in and slowly licking off the imaginary peanut butter, claiming it is the best he has ever had. Claire watches and begins smiling. He offers her the jar and she giggles then pantomimes like he did, pretending she is eating delicious peanut butter.

 

Kate watches Sayid standing on the beach, staring out into the ocean. He has a large backpack. He tells her that he can’t stay, that he what he did today and what he almost did, he had swore never to do again. If he can’t keep that promise, he has no right to be there. He is going to map the shoreline. He then says that he hopes they meet again and kisses her hand gently before he strolls up the beach.

 

A musical montage plays over the closing scene. It is soft spiritual music that intones: with faith, you “will not walk alone.” Charley carries Claire’s back presumably to the cave, her walking beside. Boone sits down beside a somewhat recovered Shannon and offers her some water and she smiles upon him. Sawyer sits beneath a tree on the beach, his letter in one hand and a lighter in the other. He begins to set fire to it, but at the last minute he close the lighter. Finally, as the sun is riding low in the sky, the camera pans back to show a lone Sayid walking down the beach away from the camp.

Bitter-Sweet Nothings in Your Ear

 

A confidence man: a grifter, a swindler, a cheat. Of all the crimes that one can commit, there are few that are so personal and intimate as the game played by this fraud. He doesn’t use force; he uses your best and your worst traits to his advantage. He will stroke your ego, play upon your sympathy, enjoy your kindness, feed your greed and finally, in the end, use every foible and every grace you have against you. Yet, at the close of every successful swindle, this cad is worse off than his victim, because what he sells to gain in monetary profit is himself.

 

Sawyer: Painting the Fence

Sawyer likes to believe that he confronts the world on his own terms, hence the levity while tortured, the answer of every question with one of his own and the constant use of nicknames. He does this by necessity, because a person that preys on the weaknesses of others cannot afford to let himself get too close. Otherwise his own deficits may be played against him. A good confidence man trusts no one other than himself.

 

In American literature, Tom Sawyer is often considered to be the romanticized ideal of the American male. He is smart, funny, charming and a rogue. The famous scene where Tom is forced to whitewash Aunt Polly’s fence is the perfect primer on playing the “confidence” game. As each person comes along, Tom identifies each need or foible and promises to satisfy it in order to get the 'mark' to do all the work.

 

The moral to Tom Sawyer’s story is about growing up and learning responsibility; to use your talents (including the roguish ones) to make other’s lives better, not just your own. We learn that it’s okay to bend the rules as long as it’s serving good, or at least doing no one any real harm. Tom does this by saving his girlfriend Becky in the cave, and testifying against the murderer, Injun Joe, even though he is threatened against doing so. Later, in the novel Huck Finn, Tom shows up again and, using his rascally ways, saves Jim from slavery and helps his friend, Huck.

 

But, in LOST’s Sawyer, we have a man that never had a chance to grow up, that had no guidance. Instead, another swindler stole not just his family’s money, but also his family. He has no compass and the first time he is in dire straights at age 19, with no one to turn to, he survives the only way he knows how: the way that was taught to him painfully in his youth. Already sparse in his morals, our man Sawyer spends the next half of his life slowly trading away the only thing that was left to him by the original Sawyer: his understanding of honor.

 

A ‘Bunny’ Thing Happened on the Way from Australia…

Sawyer is a survivor by his nature. Bereft of his parents at a young age, he manages to grow up, and evidently by his late teens, is already on the streets. He learns, as most do, by the study and mimicry of others. This is even evidenced by his parroting of Boone’s statement when he sets about teaching him a lesson about messing with another’s possessions. Right before Sawyer apparently begins beating him up, Boone exclaims, “This is gonna hurt.” Then, later, when it’s apparent that Sayid and Jack are going to do him bodily harm, Sawyer says the exact same thing, in the exact same tone. One wonders if that is his innate survival technique operating, saying what the two would probably expect him to say, instead of any real statement of his own.

 

Yet, at the tender of age of 36, he is learning finally that survival isn’t enough. When he sees that small child of the people he is swindling, a connection is made for him. He remembers being that child, and he knows that he wants better for this stranger’s life than the one he has lived. He moves from “empathy”, his tool of the con trade, to “sympathy.”

 

It’s interesting to note that Sawyer says he found the book Watership Down floating out in the waves. That story is about a group of rabbits that have lost their old way of life and seek to survive and to flourish. They set about creating a new society, one of the many obstacles being that there are no female rabbits for this group of males with which to propagate. A society that doesn’t create and tend to its offspring is, in fact, really not a society at all. Sawyer is devouring that book, reading it every time we see him. It is no wonder that he is hitting on Kate every chance he gets; subconsciously, the survivor in him is realizing that to really survive means that your entire group must survive and that children are the best insurance of that happening. This could be yet another example of how the island seems to provide a helpful nudge to the people who need it. Sawyer, lacking familial guidance, never understood about families or living within society before; he always lived off of society. The novel could be seen as a textbook for him.

 

The Pros and the Cons: Sawyer and Kate

Confidence means trust. That is why Sawyer’s particular brand of grift is called playing a “confidence game.” And Sawyer is obviously a pro at gaining other people’s trust. What he lacks is trust for anyone else. That makes life very lonely and it is a combination of this loneliness and guilt that causes Sawyer to reach the self-destructive state he is in when the plane crashes on the island. Examining his life, he has found that there is nothing in it worth living for; finally not even himself. By opening up to Kate, he is finally placing trust in someone else, someone to which he admittedly has a connection.

 

Meanwhile, Kate has trust issues of her own. She is on the run, an escaped con, even on the island where there is no place to really go. Jack has offered more than once to help her, to be there for her and invited her to join him. But she inevitably spurns him each time, even though desire to get close to him is written plainly across her face. The last time we saw her trust anyone was the rancher Ray, who sold her out to the Marshal, which lead to her being on the plane that crashed. She met (and fell for) Jack who seems to be a good and caring man trying to do the right things, but with his recent turn to expediency in the torture of Sawyer, her confidence in him must be shaken. It will be interesting to watch if Sawyer’s confiding in her about his past will help her open up in return with him.

 

The Force of Confidence

 

Jedi Moment #1: The Light of Truth

Jack uses the power of the mind to help treat Shannon’s asthma. Indeed, a part of her problem is the belief that she has a problem. By gaining her confidence, he helps Shannon take control of her world and make it what she needs it to be. By making her confident of her strength, Jack helps her channel it.

 

Perpetuated by his acts with Shannon is the confidence gained by the onlookers to this event. Both Boone and Hurley are impressed and have that much more belief in their leader. Charley has already found strength by listening to Jack’s words of encouragement and belief in the young musician during the cave-in. Jack’s good deeds have entrenched both Boone and Shannon in “his camp” and his disciple Charley has recruited Claire, primarily through the positive use of the mind, of “belief.”

 

Jedi Moment #2: The Distrustful Darkside

Sayid is wary of Sawyer from the very beginning and all it takes are a few nudges to send him over the edge into full-blown distrust and doubt. It is here, like with several others, we see Locke take an active hand in the matters. In the case of Charley and Jack, Locke was basically a benevolent teacher, dispensing advice, wisdom and allegory. With Sayid he takes a much darker method. In fact, notice how he sits in the darkness whittling that pungee stick, creating shadowy apparitions in Sayid’s already dark thoughts of Sawyer.

 

Unlike the helping hand and counseling that saved Jack from falling over the cliff (both real and proverbial) or the care-taking of Charley’s drugs and the truth to him about his choices, this time Locke offers Sayid the means to destroy (the knife) and fills him with half-truths calculated to send him down a dark path. A person that was thinking straight would know that it was impossible for Sawyer to have used a delayed fuse to launch the rocket since the only way he could launch the rocket “on time” was to wait for Sayid’s own signal. But Locke uses the anger and distrust already present in Sayid to cloud his perceptions. This is Locke’s Emperor Palpatine to Sayid’s Anakin Skywalker.

 

Light and Dark Locke-ed Together: Sayid

Locke appears to be living outside either camps domain, or in actuality, in both. Like the white and black tokens in the game of Backgammon, or the concept of yin and yang, Locke appears to be on both sides of a larger game. He seems to embody Darkness in dealing with Sayid where he was the Light of Illumination for Charley and Jack

 

Sayid is also lacking in confidence, both for others and, unlike Kate or Sawyer, in himself. However, the way the course of events unfold, it seems, in the end, that Sayid needed to touch the darkness within himself to gain a better understanding of who he is. Sayid understands that until he is able to control that darkness, he can’t be confident that he isn’t a liability to the group. Leaving that group is the best way he has of helping it survive. Perhaps in the time ahead he will learn better ways of identifying and controlling the darkness within him and it will allow him to rejoin those that are already in the light. Perhaps it was Locke’s actions of giving him the tools to perpetuate darkness that allowed Sayid to desire the Light even more. And perhaps it was Locke’s leading Sayid to the Darkside that enabled the rest of the part to enjoy the fruits of the Light.

The Missing: Update

 

Jack – Matthew Fox

Jedi Jack, I think you slipped over to the dark side here. You let your own personal feelings overshadow the real reason you were attacking Sawyer. While what you did was questionably grey, doing so because you are annoyed and threatened by Sawyer are simply reprehensible. Sawyer took your punishment like a man. Do you think this put you any closer to Kate?

 

Kate – Evangeline Lilly

Your choices are getting harder by the minute! Truly the lines between Sawyer and Jack are thinning by the minute. Each will do what is necessary to survive. Sawyer is the most needing of you, though. He chose to open up to you, a thing he desperately needed.

 

Sawyer – Josh Holloway

Don’t worry, pardner, I ain’t lost one iota of respect for you yet. Takes a special kinda man to take that kinda torture all for the kiss of the gal you are sweet on. And, I think she sorta like wants to rip your clothes off too! That was one HELL of a kiss. ‘Course those sexy wounds and bein’ all tied up mighta been a turn-on too. She knew she could get away if she wanted.

 

Sayid – Naveen Andrews

You know, I saw this coming. I kept mentioning it to you. But, why oh why, did you have to decide it was Sawyer. Come on man, if you are gonna shove bamboo shoots under anyone’s nails it should be that piece of work, Jin. You know… he doesn’t have an alibi, either. And he probably doesn’t want to face Sun’s father now that he got his daughter trapped on an island and full of disobedient notions. Hmmm…

 

Locke – Terry O’Quinn

You always offer choices, sometimes with truth, sometimes with deceit. How much do you really know about what is going on?

 

 

Charley – Dominic Monaghan

I knew it! You chose Claire. I am so happy for the two of you. And that sappy peanut butter ploy: how much it was like the fish for Shannon, but before, when you came back with the prize, she took it and not you. Now you have found a gal that loves your attempt even more than the actual success.

 

Claire – Emilie de Ravin

Can you BE any sweeter? I am very glad you decided to move to the caves and are deepening your relationship with Charley. Give him some love and give him your attention and he will be the peanut butter to your sweet jelly goodness.

 

Hurley – Jorge Garcia

Hurley, dude, you just rock! Jedi moment, indeed! *Hee!* And way to stand up to Charley. The little bugger is just jonesing for some smack. He has no idea what it is like to go 8 days with nary a Zinger, or a Ding Dong or a bag of Doritos. You keep stickin’ it out; maybe you will find your own white moth. Just… don’t eat it; they taste chalky. I ride a motorcycle; I know these things.

 

 

Boone – Ian Somerhalder

and

Shannon – Maggie Grace

Well, Boone, one of these days you might manage to win a fight. How did you expect to take Sawyer on when little Charley already roughed you up a few days ago? And, guy, first with the gun, and then with the water and now going through Sawyers stuff: you might wanna try a new trade rather than thief, ‘cause your stealth sucks!

 

Shannon, you actually seemed human this time. A little frailty and not being able to talk do wonders for your personality.

 

Michael – Harold Perineau

and

Walt – Malcom David Kelley

You are proving to be a huge boon to everyone. Your relationship with Sun facilitated the improvement of Shannon’s life. Be careful where you tread there, though. Jin has unfinished business with you. Nice work with the 'eau de fish' cologne; that is evidently a surefire turn-on for Sun!

 

Oh, and not to worry you, but Walt and Vinnie seemed to be missing all day.

 

Sun – Yunjin Kim

and

Jin – Daniel Dae Kim

Way to lend a hand with Shannon. ‘Course now you know you are responsible for her yapping again. Oh well, you are the “good” one, I guess I should forgive you.

 

Jin, get a life… elsewhere. You know, there’s plenty of room on the beach. You can fish, tend the fire and basically be useful. And you won’t have to watch your wife be inevitably lost to Michael. If it makes you feel better, he can’t clean fish.

 

 

Vincent – The Dog

Boy, you missed all the action! I certainly hope you are watching out for Walt…or maybe tomorrow you will come trotting back into camp trying to tell them he’s down a well. Course be careful who you go to: Jack will organize an elaborate rescue party but probably get stuck himself; Locke may decide you look edible and tell everyone that you are yet “another” white meat; and Sawyer will probably pet you with one hand while he is stealing your ball with the other.
