In FLASHBACK, we see Ana Lucia
confronted by her mother -- who's also her captain -- upon returning to the
station after a shift. It seems a body has been found in a parking lot. And it
just happens to be the same guy who confessed to shooting Ana Lucia. But when
Captain Cortez tries to offer her daughter her help, Ana Lucia quits the force
and runs away… all the way to Australia.
Turns out she met a guy at
the airport; a guy who was running away from his own problems and the two of
them forged a dysfunctional partnership. She agreed to go to Australia to
"protect him" and he agreed not to ask too many questions. Hard to
believe it didn't last long…
Michael is being cared for in
the Hatch. He's regained consciousness and the information he presents is
startling. He knows where Walt is. And the Others have been lying about their
strength. As soon as he is strong enough, Michael is going to return to their
camp in force. And he is going to take his son back. The entire camp is
activated, caught somewhere between hopeful and terrified at what this all
means.
In light of her recent
troubles, Ana Lucia is desperate to get her hands on a gun. And when she
barters with Sawyer we learn just how far she is willing to go to get what she
wants.
Hurley attempts to move his
relationship with Libby to the next step and asks her on an honest-to-goodness
date. And we can't help feeling happy to see that, even here, good things can
happen.
But it's just not that simple
now, is it? And this wouldn't be LOST if things ended up happy and hopeful.
So, as the episode draws to a close we are taught yet another lesson about the
dark side of mankind... and what we are capable of doing when there appears to
be no other choice. |
