Back on the island, Sawyer tells
Kate about the army Jack and Ana Lucia are forming -- trying to, anyway. Turns
out a chance to tangle with the Others isn't quite as irresistible to everyone
as they thought. Meanwhile Hurley tries to connect with Sayid. He knows
Sayid's been despondent since losing Shannon and he has something he hopes
will cheer him up. It's a radio -- the same one on which the Tailies picked up
Boone's signal from the drug plane. Maybe Sayid can boost the power somehow to
help them send another signal?
Meanwhile, Sun works alone in
her garden when suddenly she is dragged off into the jungle with a hood over
her head. Sawyer and Kate follow her screams from the beach and find her bound
and unconscious in the jungle. They bring her back to camp where Ana Lucia
leads everyone to arrive at the only possible conclusion. The Others are
back…
Ana Lucia wants to go after
them. But Locke argues for caution, at least until Sun wakes up and is able to
tell them exactly what happened. But Sawyer and Kate smell a rat and decide to
do a little investigating of their own. Sun was dragged off by the Others just
as Jack and Ana Lucia are struggling to build a force to go after them?
Hmmm…
In FLASHBACK we see Sawyer
grooming his new pupil in the art of the con. Cassidy's a very bright pupil.
But she's hungry for more. She wants to learn the long con. And she knows how
they can fund it. Cassidy got more money than we thought in her divorce. A
whole lot more.
Back on the island Sun has
woken up. She can't tell them anything about who took them. But people are
tired of waiting around. Jin leads the charge and sums up his idea of what to
do next in a single word: "Gun."
In FLASHBACK we see Sawyer
meet up with his old mentor, Gordie. He's been playing Cassidy like a fiddle,
knowing the whole time there was more money in her. But when Sawyer says he's
having second thoughts Gordie makes the decision real easy for him. Finish the
job or, die. Turns out everybody works for someone…
Back on the island, Jack
arrives at the hatch to find Sawyer sitting at the computer. He opens the
armory and discovers it empty. Sawyer got there ahead of him and warned Locke
that Jack was coming for the guns. And while Jack wants to put his fist
through Sawyer's head, he has bigger fish to fry just now. Jack finds Locke on
the beach and demands to be taken to the new hiding place, but Locke doesn't
want to take him there. In the end, it turns out he won't have to.
Sawyer emerges with a gun
over his shoulder. He played Locke and Jack against each other in a con to win
control of the guns. We don't know how he found the new hiding place, but he's
got a message for the camp. Seems he didn't appreciate having his things taken
while he was away on the raft. But, what the hell, they can keep the shaving
cream and batteries. But if anyone on this island needs a gun? They need to
come to Sawyer.
That's the thing with cons.
In order to work, the victims need to want something. And even on this island
-- lots of people want all kinds of things… |
