We open with a flashback -- Kate checks into a hotel room and looks at her wedding veil. A policeman knocks on the door and demands to be let in. Is she going to be arrested? When Kate opens the door, she jumps into his arms -- they're a couple! Kate is marrying a cop.Kate has a moment of doubt, but Kevin assures her it's right and real because he loves her.
On the island, Jack checks Ben's x-rays and medical file. He tells Ben the tumor will be inoperable in about a week and he needs to be in surgery immediately -- but Jack won't do the surgery. He told Ben this so he would know how he's going to die.
Locke tells Nikki, Paulo, Sayid and Desmond that Eko was killed by an animal. Sayid doesn't believe him. When they're alone, Sayid asks Locke what really killed Eko. Locke says people call it the monster but he doesn't believe in monsters. Locke believes it may be what brought them there and that Eko died for a reason -- he just doesn't know what it is yet.
While Kate and Sawyer are working, a warning sounds -- it's a compound breach.
Suddenly Alex runs out of the jungle holding a slingshot and firing rocks, demanding to know where her boyfriend is. She's grabbed from behind and taken off. She shouts to Kate that they'll kill her boyfriend, meaning Sawyer, just like they killed hers.
Juliet tells Kate that Pickett is going to kill Sawyer, but if Kate can convince Jack to do the operation, Kate can save Sawyer's life. When Jack and Kate see each other, emotion overcomes them. Kate hates being used but she tells Jack he has to do the operation. Jack is mad she believes the Others...and mad that she's there asking him to save Sawyer's life.
Flashback to Kate, nervous before her wedding. Kevin's mom, Suzanne, gives her a beautiful gold locket her mom had given her. Kate tells her mother-in-laws aren't supposed to be so nice. During the ceremony, the Minister talks about Kate's honesty and faithfulness, and how what you see is what you get. But Kevin, Suzanne and the Minister think Kate's name is Monica, and Kate is aware of the irony of those words.
After shopping for dinner, Kate calls U.S.Marshal Mars. She doesn't want to run any more, and pleads for him to stop chasing her. He guesses it's about a guy. She tells him she loves the guy. The Marshal agrees that if Kate can really stay put, really settle down, he'll stop chasing her. But he and Kate both know that's not going to happen.
Back on the island, Kate tells Sawyer about seeing Jack and what they want him to do. Sawyer is glad Jack isn't dumb enough to do the surgery. Kate gets angry, climbs out of her cage and breaks open Sawyer's. If he doesn't want Jack to save his life then he's going to save his own. But Sawyer finally tells her they're on another island -- there isn't any place to run. This hits Kate hard. Sawyer didn't tell her this earlier because he wanted her to believe they had a chance. In his own way, he was protecting her.
The situation, the emotion, the chemistry between them is too much -- and Kate kisses him. Sawyer is surprised, but he kisses her back. Maybe they think Pickett really will kill Sawyer, or maybe they really love each other, but all that matters is their moment together.
They fall out of frame as they make love.
Meanwhile, Locke says a few words for Eko and buries him. As he pounds Eko's Jesus stick in the ground for the marker, Locke sees a message on it: Look north, John 3:05. Locke smiles -- he's finally found his further instructions.
In the Hydra station, someone unlocks the door to Jack's room. Jack gets out and finds a weapons cabinet and the surveillance room. On one of the monitors he sees Kate and Sawyer together. It's a sucker punch for Jack. Ben appears behind him and is surprised, too. He thought Kate would've picked Jack. Jack decides to do the surgery. He promises to remove the tumor and keep Ben alive, but he wants Ben to keep his promise. He wants off the island.
We WHOOSH back to Kate with pregnancy test results -- she's not pregnant. Relief floods over her. She brings Kevin iced tea and tells him the truth -- she's a fugitive on the run for killing her father. She can't be tied down to their domestic life, worrying about getting pregnant and planning dinners.
Kevin protests, and she reveals her name isn't Monica. She loves him but can't stay. Kevin tries to get up but falls over. She drugged him to protect him. Since he's a cop they'll ask questions and she doesn't want him to lose his job. He falls unconscious. She put the gold locket his mom gave her in Kevin's hand and leaves.
Back on the island, Jack starts the surgery. Once Ben is under, Pickett goes after Sawyer. He discovers Sawyer and Kate together. He forces Sawyer to his knees with a gun to his head. He's going to kill Sawyer and make Kate watch...
...When Friendly calls over the walkie. Jack sabotaged the operation and will let Ben die if they don't let Kate and Sawyer go. Jack tells Kate to run. When they're safe, he wants her to radio him and tell him the story he told her on the day of the crash when she stitched him up. Kate doesn't want to go without him, but Jack tells her to run...
And BOOM! That's it, folks.See you in February.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
Kate never responded, after they made love, when Sawyer told her that he loves her. So, I'm wondering... does she love him, or Jack? Because, when she was on the walkie-talkie, she was like... "I'm NOT leaving without YOU!"
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
I'm pretty sure that she chose Sawyer. Actions speak louder than words, and all that. She doesn't want to leave anyone from the camp with the Others because she may never see them again.
What I'm wondering is if she will be allowed to take Sawyer with her if she goes. Jack is telling HER to go, but saying nothing about Sawyer. I can see Pickett using that as a means of keeping Sawyer to kill.
Jack is one smart cookie. He didn't fold and do what Juliet wanted; he saw the situation and figured out that he could get Kate and Sawyer out, then finish the surgery and, if Ben makes it through and keeps his word, go back to civilization.
Poor Kate! She was really truly happy being married to that guy that played Mal on Firefly. If she hadn't made that phone call then she probably could have lived with him for a long time.
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
Something caught my attention last night, while watching Lost.
When Jack says to Ben that he will do the surgery, and that he will live... but, he MUST keep his promise and get him off of this island. Ben said that he would keep his promise. Well, Jack still doesn't know that they are on a seperate island. So, Ben could send him back to the other island... where everyone else is, and he's kept his promise.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
I don't think that there are two separate islands. I bet that was Ben conning Sawyer; after all, that's the only way to win a con man's respect. When the plane first crashed Ethan and Goodwin ran to the different parts of the plane, and they couldn't have done that if they were on a different island. Also, Michael and Walt took the Others' boat, so they had to walk to the place that they are at now.
Ben knows what Jack means, and the surgery is important enough to him that he will probably let Jack go.

If their aren't two seperate islands, how did they show Sawyer that one, that was a couple miles away? Who knows... they could absolutely be conning them. I guess that we will find out, when the season returns... unless they plan on keeping the three all the way through.

How do we know that they only have one boat? Yes, they got the one that Sun jumped from... but, they could have other boats, hidden. After all, they have tons of things.
:::>^..^<::: ~*~The Journey is more important than the end or the start~*~ :::>^..^<:::
The Others home base is on the main Island. This is the town in the middle of nowhere they lived in with Eathan and Goodwin.
The second Island, where they have Jack and crew, is separate and has the underwater hatch and the cages.
Jack's woman, forget her name, told Ben that Alex was back "home". That meant the other Island.
Also, they have a submarine, as Picketts wife was killed, and one of the others said "the sub is back", then told him about his shot wife who needed surgery. I'm sure they got boats and subs and underwater tunnels, these people are set up.
