8. "Why didn't he come back with the rest of you?" Cassidy "The helicopter that we were on was running out of gas, so he jumped so that we could make it to the boat." Kate "What a coward." Cassidy "He was trying to do the right thing." Kate "He was trying to get away from you. I told him he had a daughter. He never so much as lifted a finger to try to call her. So now I'm supposed to think he's a hero because he told you to come here and help us? Hell, I bet this money's not even his, is it?" Cassidy
9. "That's not your baby, is it? Kate, you just told me that you and your friends cooked a story for the whole world about what happened on that island. So you tell me the truth about that? Why are you lying to me about him?" Cassidy "Because I have to." Kate

From Lostpedia
16. "What the hell are you doing, Tubby?" Miles "Checking to see if I'm disappearing." Hurley "What?" Miles "Back to the Future, man. We came back in time to the island and changed stuff. So if little Ben dies, he'll never grow up to be big Ben, who's the one who made us come back here in the first place. Which means we can't be here. And therefore, dude? We don't exist." Hurley "You're an idiot." Miles "Am I?" Hurley "Yeah. It doesn't work like that. You can't change anything. Your maniac Iraqi buddy shot Linus. That is what always happened. It's just...we never experienced how it all turns out." Miles "This is really confusing." Hurley "Yeah, well, get used to it. But, the good news is that Linus didn't die, so that means the kid can't either. He'll be fine." Miles "Didn't look like he was gonna be fine. What if you're wrong?" Kate "Well, if I'm wrong, then I guess we all stop existing, and none of it matters anyway then, does it?" Miles

20. "You heard Miles. We can't change what's already happened. This has nothing to do with me." Jack "Unless you're the one who's supposed to save him." Kate "30 years from now, that boy's gonna be a man...that locks me in a cage because he needs surgery. And then you're gonna come in and you're gonna beg me to operate on him because he's threatening to murder Sawyer. I've already done this once. [scoffs] I've already saved Benjamin Linus, and I did it for you, Kate. I don't need to do it again." Jack "This is our fault. We brought Sayid back. We caused this." Kate "You know, when we were here before, I spent all of my time trying to fix things. But...did you ever think that maybe the island just wants to fix things itself? And maybe I was just...getting' in the way?" Jack "You know, I don't like the new you. I liked the old you, who wouldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen."

22. "La Fleur asked me where my keys were. That bastard doesn't ask any questions he doesn't know the answers to...which means my son stole my keys so he could bust that animal out of jail." Roger
23. "I thought I was gonna be the greatest father ever. You know? [Whispers] I guess it didn't work out that way." Roger "What about his mother? Is she still around?" Kate "No, she's dead. She died the day he was born." Roger "I'm sorry." Kate "Yeah, me, too. [Sighs] I tried to do what I thought she'd want me to do, but...I guess a boy just needs his mother." Roger

Hurley says to get this straight, all this already happened, Miles says yes, Hurley says so this conversation we're having right now, we already had it, Miles says yes, Hurley asks so what he's going to say next, Miles says he doesn't know, Hurley says then his theory is wrong, Miles says for the thousandth time, the conversation already happened, but not for them, for them, it's happening right now, Hurley says if all this already happened to him, then why doesn't he remember any of it, Miles says because once Ben turned that wheel, time isn't a straight line for us anymore, our experiences in the past and the future, occurred before these experiences right now, Hurley says say that again, Miles says to shoot him, gives Hurley his gun, Hurley says that he can't shoot him, because if he dies on the island in 1977, then he'll never come back on the freighter 30 years from now, Miles says that he can die, because he's already come to the island on the freighter, that any of them can die, because this is their present, Hurley says but he said Ben can't die because he still has to become the leader of the island, Miles says because this is his past, Hurley says when they first captured Ben, and Sayid tortured him, then why wouldn't he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid, Miles says huh, he hadn't thought of that, Hurley says huh.
25. "Let me get this straight. [Miles is pacing.] All this already happened." Hurley "Yes." Miles "So, this conversation we're having right now...we already had it." Hurley "[Claps his hands] Yes!" Miles "Then what am I gonna say next?" Hurley "I don't know. [Shakes his head.]" Miles "Ha'! Then your theory is wrong!" Hurley "For the thousandth time, you dingbat, the conversation already happened, but not for you and me. For you and me, it's happening right now." Miles "Okay, answer me this. If all this already happened to me, then...why don't I remember any of it?" Hurley "Because, once Ben turned that wheel, time isn't a straight line for us anymore. Our experiences in the past and the future occurred before these experiences right now." Miles "Say that again." Hurley "[Pauses in exasperation and pulls out his gun and holds it out for Hurley to take.] Shoot me. Please. Please!" Miles "Aha! I can't shoot you. Because if you die in 1977, then you'll never come back to the island on the freighter 30 years from now." Hurley "I can die because I've already come to the island on the freighter. Any of us can die because this is our present." Miles "But you said Ben couldn't die because he still has to grow up and become the leader of the Others." Hurley "Because this is his past." Miles "But, when we first captured Ben, and Sayid, like, tortured him, then why wouldn't he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid?" Hurley "[Miles blinks and looks around. Hurley raises his eyebrow.] Huh. I hadn't thought of that." Miles "Huh. [Crossing his arms.]" Hurley

We were in the supermarket, and I turned around for one second, and he was gone. [Wiping away her tears] And, you know, the crazy thing is, is that...[sitting up] as scared as I was...I wasn't surprised. All I could think was, it's about time. Why would I feeel that way? I mean, why would I expect him to be taken?" Kate "Because you took him, Kate." Cassidy "No, I...Claire was gone. I mean, she left him. I had to take him. He needed me." Kate "You needed him.

• Why did the Oceanic 6 have to go back to the island to save them if the time jumps had already stopped when Locke turned the frozen donkey wheel?
• Where are Charles and Ellie?
• If Charles is their leader, why doesn't he have any authority over Richard?
• Why was Jack supposed to come back to the island?
• Why is Jack such a douche?

Notes:

• Kate sang Catch A Falling Star to Aaron, the same song that Christian Shephard sang to Claire as a child and Claire told the couple that was supposed to adopt Aaron to sing to him.
• I thoroughly enjoy the exchange between Hurley and Miles about time travel, Back to the Future, and what exactly the rules are.
• It seems like we're going to be getting the Ben/Locke and Desmond/Penny stories back next week, so I'm happy about that. Now, just for more Sayid, to find out where Daniel Faraday is now, and to find out where in the hell Rose and Bernard have been for 3 years. Oh, and Vincent!
• Jack is definitely the new whipping boy. What a tool.
• The scene where Juliet walked in on Jack in the shower reminded me of when Locke was shaving when Jack got out of the shower and he checked out Jack's package. It would be have been better if Juliet checked him out and said "glad I never hit that."
• It was nice to find out that Kate is back on the island not for Sawyer, which would have been lame, but for Claire, which is good because it's annoying me that no one is asking about her or where the hell she's been for the past 3 years.
• Roger Linus seemed kind of... human in this episode.
• Patsy Cline was playing in Kate's car.
• So, now Cassidy knows about the island, and so does Carole Littleton, adding to the list of Carmen Reyes, who Hurley told, and Penny Widmore who also knows about the island.
• Okay, whatever happened, happened. So, Sayid always shot Ben, and Jack always refused to save him, forcing him to be brought to the hostiles.
• There's one character inconsistency that's bothering me about this episode. Kate showed no remorse for Jeremy Bentham/John Locke's death, but all of a sudden she cares if young Benjamin Linus dies? That just seems so out of character to me.
• Jack sounded a lot like Locke talking about the island in this episode.
• Also, Jack telling Kate that she didn't like the old him either was a good zing.
• I'm glad that Kate and Juliet are actually getting along somewhat.
• I really want a Richard Alpert flashback. That dude is so interesting.
• "Welcome to the land of the living." Priceless. Now, kick his ass, Locke!

Favorites:

The hell are you smokin'?" Sawyer

Notes:

1. Sawyer was reading Watership Down again.
2. Although, Kate having a flashback entirely devoted to her meeting Cassidy and her mother telling her why she screamed in Born to Run, is kind of lame, I don't really mind this flashback.

From Lostpedia
13. Sawyer is brought back to his cage, where Kate asks what happened, but Sawyer says nothing, that he doesn't tell her everything. They give Sawyer and Kate something to wash off with, and her something new to wear. When Kate undresses, Sawyer's heart monitor goes off.

From Lostpedia
26. "We did all this because the only way to gain a con man's respect is to con him. And you're pretty good, Sawyer. We're a lot better. Funny thing is, us telling you about the pacemaker wasn't what kept you in line. It was when I threatened her. You work so hard to make her think you don't care--that you don't need her, but, "A guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody. It don't make no difference who the guy is, long as he's with you. I tell you, I tell you a guy gets too lonely and he gets sick." Ben

Questions:

1. Is Clementine really Sawyer's baby? Did Cassidy try to con him?
2. Why does Juliet say she not used to death when later, in D.O.C., she says she's lost 9 patients?

3. This is the first episode where Desmond saves Charlie's life.

12. The long con, get somebody to do something like it's their idea, but it's your idea. Sawyer thinks Cassidy has $40,000, but she admits she lied and got $600,000 from her divorce.

    From Lostpedia
    
17. Jack confronts Locke about the guns, but it was Sawyer the whole time.
18. "You were so busy worrying about eachother, you never even saw me coming, did you?" Sawyer
19. "There's a new sheriff in town, boys. You all best get used to it." Sawyer From Lostpedia
20. Sawyer tells Cassidy the truth, that Gordy is going to kill him, that he knew about the money, that she was the long con, tells her to leave, go to Sioux City, Sage Flower Motel off Highway 29, wait for him, says he loves her.
21. Kate figures everything out, that Sawyer played them all. She thinks that he wants everyone to hate him and that's why he did it.

23. Hurley reads a manuscript from the plane, Bad Twin. Sayid tries to fix the radio, listens with Hurley on the beach, find Rousseau's transmission, and they find a station, WXR, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Moonlight Serenade. From Lostpedia From Lost Hatch

25. "How does someone think of something like that?" Charlie helped Sawyer with the guns, he wanted Locke to feel like a fool, he didn't want the Virgin Mary statues. From Lostpedia
26. Sawyer conned Cassidy again in the end, he never gave her the money.
27. "I'm not a good person, Charlie. Never did a good thing in my life." Sawyer

Questions:

1. Did Sawyer plan the long con on Cassidy from the start or did he improvise when she figured him out?

3. How did he know that Locke would move the guns?
4. Did Sawyer con Gordy too?

7. "One second, I'm like this close to the high score on Donkey Kong." Sawyer "Where's Locke?" Jack "I don't know. I think he said something about going to the store for a pack of smokes." Sawyer

Notes:

1. We the viewers are put on a long con because the first person they show when Sun is attacked is Sawyer, leading us to believe that he has nothing to do with it.
2. It's amazing how much Sawyer has changed and grown as a character. He says that he's never done a good thing in his life, but in the end, he does.
3. Sawyer cons Cassidy off-island and knows that she will figure him out and want to work with him, while he cons the survivors on-island and knows that Kate will ask him to help her. They both play into Sawyer's hands.
4. I believe that Sawyer long conned Gordy as well as Cassidy.
