Episode Analysis of 1.10 "Raised By Another"

WARNING: If you have not already seen all of LOST, please DO NOT READ THIS.

My LOST re-watch and in-depth episode analysis will include major details from the entirety that was LOST, and will be written with the perspective of having seen everything already. You will be SPOILED if you read any further. It is far better if you learn the story of LOST for yourself, as it is meant to be seen. Trust me on this, and don't say that I didn't warn you first. Seriously. Stop it. Now. Go watch it. Then, come back here.

First off, let's clear the air first. I'm back after taking two months or so off from blogging altogether. While it was much longer than I had originally anticipated, I didn't realize how much time I needed until I actually got back here. Sometimes, I need a break from these things to clear my head and reset. It's good to be back now.

What happened while I was gone? Well, apparently all the actors from LOST have literally lost their damn minds after leaving the Island. First, Doug Hutchison, who played Horace Goodspeed, and is fifty-one years old, married a sixteen year old aspiring country singer. Then, Matthew Fox got arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman on a damn party bus or something. Sounds like he's pulling a Jack Shephard to me. I wonder if he was wearing a fake beard when he did it..

And, in much less disturbing news, Evangeline Lilly had a baby without anyone even noticing she was pregnant. Apparently she's dating Norman Kali, who was a Production Assistant on LOST. I recognized this dude right away because he's in a bunch of the LOST DVD Extras.. Their baby's first words? "We have to go back, Kate." Yes, babies speak immediately when they are born. Evangeline was also cast in the new film, The Hobbit, and was seen in New Zealand with her baby boy. So, that's pretty exciting. Especially for LOTR nerds like myself.. Also, congrats to Evangeline and Norman. And, that's probably the first and last time I will ever write about "gossip" or whatever the fuck that was that I just did..

So, now that we're done with that quick recap and LOST news, let's get back to business as usual, shall we?

To read my original post on this episode, please refer to Raised By Another.

This episode was written by Lynne E. Litt, and directed by Marita Grabiak. It originally aired on December 1st, 2004.

This is a Claire Littleton flashback-centric episode.

We begin with a close-up of closed eye. We hear a baby crying in the distance and a waterfall in the background. Claire Littleton's eye suddenly opens. As she wakes, her eyes shift, looking around to catch her bearings. It's dark, and a baby continues to cry. Claire suddenly springs up from her sleep, short of breath, and looking around the caves. She feels her stomach to realize that she is no longer pregnant.

Initial Reaction to "The Candidate"

WOW. That definitely was the most shocking and emotionally heart-wrenching episode of the season so far. I think that I cried pretty much the entire time that I was watching it. It was beyond incredibly sad. I had to watch the episode three times just to get it to sink in, and I think I'm still in utter shock. I don't even know what to say right now, so let's just get into the episode before the waterworks come...

Initial Reaction to "Sundown"

I enjoyed this episode a lot. It wasn't the best thus far this season, and it definitely wasn't the worst either, but the action in it was just awesome. It also was probably one of the darkest and most disturbing episodes of LOST in a long time (The Man Behind the Curtain always freaked me the hell out.). I strongly disagree with those who are becoming quite frustrated and keep saying that these episodes are "filler" and nothing is really happening. These people need to remember that the reason that LOST drew us all in was its characters. Those wonderful characters lead us to the mythology. That mythology lead us to answers eventually. If I didn't have patience, I would have never kept watching this show. I love LOST for its many questions, its mythology, and the fact that it challenges me to think and to learn and grow as a person, and that is all rooted in the characters. I truly believe that the character and mythology building is going somewhere. Believe me, if it doesn't soon, I will be the first to object. But, the thing is, I've spent six years obsessing over this show. I'm going to let myself enjoy it now. I'm not going to spend what little is left of it complaining. If you want to watch a show that doesn't make you think or leave you wondering, go which HEROES (Sorry to those who still watch it, but it's true.). LOST is still a good show. This is the story that the LOST creators/producers/writers wanted to tell, and I respect that, because for six years they have earned that respect from me. I trust that they will take this where it was meant to go. That's all I have to say about that. Also, Sayid is awesome. Now on with the show...

3. "We don't know yet if another attack is coming. So everybody needs to be ready for your security assignments. Make sure you're in contact with your team leaders. La Fleur's got search parties out, but the hostile's got a good jump on us. We're pretty sure he used this fire as a diversion in order to escape." Horace

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
10. At the Security station, Sawyer looks at the monitors, Kate comes in, asks what happened, Sawyer asks what she's doing there, Kate says that it's Ben, the kid that was shot was Ben, Sawyer says to keep her mouth shut and don't draw any attention to herself, to leave, he doesn't want her around here, Kate says she just wants to know what's going on, Horace comes in, asks what she's doing there, La Fleur says Kate, that she's new at the Motor Pool, he was just seeing if she saw anything suspicious but she didn't, Horace asks if he checked out the hostile's cell yet, La Fleur says he's been too busy trying to keep the town from burning down, they look at the cell, which has keys still in the cell door, they say he didn't break out, that someone let him out, La Fleur says they're janitor's keys, Horace says they only have three janitors, Roger, Willie and that new guy, that he just met him, his name is Jack, La Fleur says that he just brought him in on the sub, he will go talk to him, asks Miles to come with him, Miles says sure, boss.
11. Sawyer tells Miles to find Jack, Hurley and Kate, to put them in a house and sit on them, he doesn't want them talking to anyone, doesn't want this thing to spin out of control, Miles says okay.
12. La Fleur goes to the Infirmary, Roger is waiting there, he asks who did this, La Fleur says he's trying to figure that out, that he's going to talk to Juliet, asks Roger for his keys, but he doesn't have them, says he must have left them at home, La Fleur says it's okay, he goes inside.
13. Juliet is trying to save Ben, but she can't stop the hemorrhaging, Sawyer asks where's the doctor that's supposed to be there, Juliet says he's at The Looking Glass station until Friday, Juliet says she can't fix it, that someone needs to get in there, find the damage, he needs a real surgeon.
14. "No, it's not all right. Someone needs to get in there who can find the damage that bullet did and fix it. [Whispers] He needs a real surgeon." Juliet
15. Miles with gun, Jack says he's telling him they're under house arrest, Miles says they're all free to leave whenever they want, but he'll shoot them in the leg, Jack asks and who's idea is this, Kate says that Sawyer's just doing his job, Hurley looks at his hand, says he's trying to see if he's disappearing, like Back to the Future, he says they came back in time to the island, that it can change stuff, he says that if little Ben dies, then he can't grow up to be big Ben, which means they don't come back to the island, therefore, they don't exist, Miles says that he's an idiot, that it doesn't work like that, you can't change anything, that his maniac, Iraqi buddy shot Linus, but it always happened, they just never experienced how it all turns out, Hurley says it's confusing, Miles says the good news is that Linus didn't die, which means the kid can't either, Kate says it didn't look like that, Miles says if he's wrong then they all stop existing, and then it doesn't matter. 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
17. Sawyer comes in, tells Jack they need his help, he says that the kid is losing blood, Jack says no, Sawyer says if he doesn't go with him, the kid is going to die, Jack says then he dies.
18. "Juliet said the kid's losing blood, and we ain't gone none to put back in him. So, we need you to show us where he sprung a leak." Sawyer
19. Kate asks Jack what he's doing, Jack says he's making a sandwich, Kate says he's just a boy, that they can't just let him die, Jack says she heard Miles, they can't change what happens, Kate says unless he's the one that's supposed to save him, Jack says that 30 years from now, that boy is going to be a man, that locks him in a cage because he needs surgery, and then she's going to come in and beg him to operate on him because he's threatening to murder Sawyer, he already said this once, he already saved Ben's life for her, and he's not going to do it again, Kate says it's their fault, that they brought Sayid back, they caused this, Jack says did she ever think that maybe the island just wants to fix things itself, that maybe he was just getting in the way, Kate says she doesn't like the new him, that she liked the old him, who wouldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen, Jack says she didn't like the old him, Kate leaves.
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." Kate "You didn't like the old me, Kate." Jack
21. Juliet is trying to help Ben, Kate comes into the Infirmary, the nurse tells Juliet that she said Ben needed blood, and Kate's a universal donor, Juliet says that James told her that Jack wouldn't help, but didn't say why, Kate says if she understood why Jack does what he does, she wouldn't be there, Juliet asks if off island something happened with them, Kate says they were engaged, does that count, Roger comes into the Infirmary while Kate is giving blood, he asks what's going on, Juliet says Kate is giving fresh blood so they can transfuse Ben, Roger refuses to leave, so Kate says Juliet can check on Ben, and Roger will keep her company to make sure she doesn't pass out, Juliet says okay, Roger thanks Kate, Roger says Ben stole his keys, La Fleur asked him for his keys, that he doesn't ask any questions that he doesn't know the answers to, which means Ben stole his keys to bust the hostile out of jail, Kate asks why he would do that, Roger says because of him, asks Kate if she has kids, she says no, Roger says he thought he was going to be the greatest father ever, that he guesses it didn't work out that way, Kate asks what about Ben's mother, if she's still around, Roger says no she's dead, that she died that day he was born, Kate says she's sorry, he says him too, that he tried to do what he thought she'd want him to do, but he guesses a boy just needs his mother, Ben starts choking, going into hypoxic shock, Juliet says to get Roger out of there.
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
24. 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
26. Roger is pacing outside the Infirmary, Kate waits too, Juliet comes out, Roger asks how is he, Juliet says he's stable, Roger asks if he's going to be okay, Juliet says that he has some fresh blood running through him, which is a good thing, Juliet wants Roger to go to medical station, she says there are some supplies there that they don't' have here, Roger says he just wants to say thanks, he knows that she's doing everything she can to save him, Roger says he's going to go, Kate asks Juliet if he's better, Juliet says he's stable, but she can't fix him, Kate says what about the sub, that they can take him somewhere, Juliet says no, that the sub is gone, and it won't be back for a few months, Kate says there has to be something they can do, they have an entire camp, Juliet says there may be something they can do, the others.
27. Juliet and Kate take Ben out of the Infirmary, put him in a DHARMA van, Juliet says okay let's go, but Kate says no, that if she gets caught, she doesn't want to get her in trouble, that if Sawyer knew, he'd kill her, Juliet says he's going to find out that Ben is gone, and she'll have to tell, but she'll give her a head start, as much as she can, Kate leaves.
28. "No, no, no, no. If something goes wrong or we get caught, it doesn't matter for me, but you've got a whole life here. And besides, if Sawyer knew that I got you involved in this, he'd kill me." Kate
29. At the Long Beach Marina, Ben talks to Sun, he says the same person that's going to show them how to get back to the island, Kate asks is that what this is about, Jack says that he wasn't pretending anything, Kate leaves, in the car, Aaron says he's thirsty, wants some milk, Kate goes to grocery store, but now Aaron wants a damn juice box, Kate asks a stock boy what aisle they're on, her phone rings, Kate lets go of Aaron's hand, Jack calling her, Kate looks down and Aaron is gone, Kate frantically looks for him, calls Aaron's name, looks down all the aisles, she runs around the store, at the front, she sees Aaron holding the hand of a woman with blonde hair, who looks just like Claire, but it isn't her, says she found him by the fruit, was going to make an announcement, Kate says thank you to the woman, she comforts Aaron.

Kate drives to the pylons, stops there, Ben is choking, says he needs help, to tell his dad he's sorry he stole his keys, Kate says to try not to talk, Sawyer shows up in another DHARMA van, Kate says she knows he's gotta stop her, but that she can't just let that kid die, Sawyer says dammit freckles, that he isn't there to stop her, he's there to help her.
31. "I know you gotta stop me...but I can't just let that kid die." Kate "Damn it, Freckles. I ain't here to stop you. I'm here to help you." Sawyer
32. Kate with Aaron, a few years old, she goes to Cassidy's house, which has a no soliciting sign on it, Clementine says hi Auntie Kate, Kate says hi Clementine, asks for her mom, Clementine says I'll go get her, inside Kate talks to Cassidy, she says they're gong back to the island, Cassidy says why in God's name would they want to do that, Kate says she doesn't know, that Jack says that they weren't supposed to leave, Cassidy says well Jack sounds like a piece of work, that Kate should take a nap, and she'll watch Aaron, Kate says she lost him, that she doesn't know what happened, but she was in the supermarket, and she turned around for one second and he was gone, and the crazy thing is as scared as she was, she wasn't surprised, all she could think was, it's about time, she asks Cassidy why would she feel that way, why would she expect him to be taken, Cassidy says because she took him, Kate says no, Claire was gone, she left him, that she had to take him, that he needed her, Cassidy says that she needed him, that Sawyer broke her heart, she asks Kate how else was she supposed to fix it.
33. "They're going back? To the island? Why in God's name would they wanna do that?" Cassidy "I don't know. Jack says that we weren't supposed to leave." Kate "Well, Jack sounds like a piece of work. You look exhausted. Drink this. Curl up on my bed. Take a nap. [Pours liquid] I'll watch your fella." Cassidy "I lost him." Kate "What?" Cassidy "I don't know what happened. 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. Sawyer broke your heart. How else were you supposed to fix it?" Cassidy
34. Sawyer punches in the Security code, asks Kate if she figured out how she was going to carry him by herself, Kate says that the line is right there, they're just on the other side, asks Sawyer why he's doing this, why he's helping her, Sawyer says when found out Ben was gone, he asked Juliet the same question, why she's helping Ben, and she said no matter what he's going to grow up to be, it's wrong to let a kid die, so that's why he's doing this, he says that he's doing it for her, they walk through the pylons.
35. "Hey. Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?" Kate "When I found out Ben was gone, and Juliet told me what you were up to, I asked that exact damn question. Why are you helping Ben? And she said...no matter what he's gonna grow up to be, it's wrong to let a kid die. So...that's why I'm doing this. I'm doing it for her." Sawyer

37. "We didn't need saving. We've been fine for three years. You came back here for you. At least do me the courtesy of telling me why." Juliet
38. In the jungle, Kate says she can take him for a while, Sawyer says sure she can, they stop at a creek, Kate says his father said he thinks Ben broke Sayid out, Sawyer says that a kid would do almost anything if he's pissed off enough at his folks, Kate asks if that's why he asked her to take care of his daughter, Sawyer says did she, Kate says of course she did, Sawyer asks what's she like, Kate says Clementine, oh she's beautiful, that she looks just like him when she smiles, she says that she's growing up fast, that she already has a little attitude, Sawyer says he bets her and Cassidy had a lot to talk about, Kate says she had an interesting theory on why he jumped off the chopper, Sawyer asks what's that, Kate says Cassidy thought he was worried about what would happen if he didn't, Sawyer says that they would've never worked out, that he wasn't any more fit to be her boyfriend, than he was to be that little girl's father, Kate says he seems to be doing alright with Juliet, Sawyer says he's had a lot of growing up in the last three years.

Kate "I bet you and Cassidy had a lot to talk about." Sawyer "She had an interesting theory on why you jumped off the chopper." Kate "Yeah, what's that?" Sawyer "She thought you were worried about what would happen if you didn't." Kate "You and me would've never worked out, Kate. I wasn't any more fit to be your boyfriend than I am to be that little girl's father." Sawyer "You seem to be doing all right with Juliet." Kate "Yeah. I've done a lot of growing up the past three years." Sawyer
40. The hostiles suddenly come out of the jungle, with guns, approach Sawyer and Kate, they say don't move, that they're in violation of the truce, Sawyer says they know, but this kid has been shot, so unless they want to go to war, they're going to take them to Richard Alpert and they're going to do it now.

When we crashed, your daughter was eight months pregnant, and...she's the one who gave birth on the island, not me. We lied. There were other survivors, too. We just left them behind." Kate "Why? Why would you leave her there?" Carole "Because she disappeared, and she left the baby behind. We looked everywhere, but...that's when I started taking care of Aaron. And when we were rescued, we didn't--we had to decide what to do with him. And I knew that she had wanted him to be adopted, but I couldn't. I had to protect him, so I said he was mine."

Whatever Happened, Happened, Initial Reaction

Questions:

• Was present-day Ben unconscious in the infirmary not only because Sun knocked him out, but because he was shot as a young child by Sayid?
• Why won't young Ben remember anything that happened?
• Why will he always be one of the others now?
• How can the hostiles save Ben's life?
• Um, what are Sawyer and Kate going to tell the Dharma Initiative and Roger Linus about what happened to Ben?
• Was the woman in the grocery store trying to take Aaron?
• Did Ben remember Sayid when he was captured and tortured by 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!
