POV from camera looking right to left through jungle floor. Camera pans up tree to find Kate picking guavas. She slides down and has a drink of water. She starts to walk away. Whatever is watching her is following right behind her. A twig snaps. She knows someone is following her. She picks up a rock and throws. It hits Sawyer's knee.
I think that I'll give the 5 cent tour for this episode.
It's a Kate centric episode with a flashback. Sawyer and Kate find the waterfall. SPOILER: This location is the site for the return to the island in S5 for Kate, Hurley and the guitar. The pond holds two bodies, a man (red tie, wrong choice mister) and woman (does that look like a gray jumpsuit?) still in plane seats. Lodged under the man is a silver Haliburton case. Inside the case are four 9mm guns, ammo and personal effects. Kate runs a con on island paralleling her flashback. She uses men to get what she needs. She lies. Except when she tells the truth. Kate has serious trust issues. So both cons result in her getting the same object, a toy plane.
I have lost track of this plane. It is still on the island as far as I know. Let me know if you think otherwise. Maybe that's why she had to go back . . . . . lol
The guns will play a part in upcoming episodes.
Secondary story lines abound: Sayid gets Shannon to help translate Danielle's scribbles - however I am not sure that Danielle is the originator of the maps. Unclear. Shannon gives us another full body sun bathing experience. Boone stares creepily at Shannon and Sayid as they start to get cozy.
Boone and fLocke have been 4 days trying to open the hatch. Looks like Boone is doing the work and fLocke still giving the orders. Boone brings the yellow handled axe to fLocke. This parallels Sawyer's attempts to unlocke the case.
If you are lucky enough to remember the ape v. Samsonite commercials of the 70s 80s then you would get the humor of the Sawyer v. Haliburton case in the rocky ravine. Michael suggests that only "impact velocity" would work when no key was handy. Apparently Haliburton's can't be picked. SOB. Michael: if you pick the lock "I'll put you on my back and fly us to LA" Sawyer: "You better find yourself a runway daddy, cuz there isn't a lock I cant' pick." Just interesting given that there is a runway being built and Sawyer's about to join that crew.
Kate tries, unsuccessfully, to steal the case. So she get's Jack to do it for her.
Jack and Sun play medical charades.
Jack threatens to withhold medical treatment (antibiotics) to get the case. Wow, what happend to 'do no harm' vows, Dr. Shephard.
Rose helps Charlie deal with his recent ordeal by suggesting that he is not special and must work like everyone else. Rose also reiterates that she thinks Bernard is alive. She leads Charlie in prayer after Charlie cries, "Help me."
An unnatural (prop reduction program) tide takes away the fuselage and survivors move down the beach to set up new camp.
Question: If Jack buried the Marshall, dug him up to get the key, did they rebury him? Why wasn't he buried instead of burned with the rest of the bodies in the fuselage?
Kate's got palming skillz. Case is open. Envelope with "Personal Effects" and then a smaller envelope with the toy plane. Add these to our envelope collection.
Again, season 1 hair and makeup were seriously glam.
I like Jack's shaved head better.
Montage of campfire scenes and Shannon singing La Mer. Jack passes by Kate. Kate flies plane in firelight.
