Episode 10 - Something Nice Back Home

Hello Friends! Sorry for the delay, I've been a busy girl lately but hopefully the summary will refresh your memory. If you feel like you don't need it, feel free to skip to my 10 points. WARNING: there is a lot of gushing about you know who!

Also, I reformatted the summary to try to make it shorter and clearer. Each storyline gets its own paragraph. It's a little choppy but I wanted to keep it free from comments.

Summary:

BEACH
In the beginning of the episode, Jack woke up to find that he wasn't feeling so well and Juliet determines that Jack's ailment is appendicitis. She starts to gather tools to perform the surgery when she asks Sun and Jin to go to the maternity ward to gather things. Daniel and Charlotte agree to go with them to help. Rose and Bernard chat about Jack's illness and that the island doesn't let people get sick. Bernard suggests that Jack offended the gods to get sick. Jack tells Juliet that he wants to watch the surgery by having Kate holding a mirror and Juliet tries to argue but Jack is adamant that Kate be a part of the surgery. As Sun and company reach the medical station, Jin discovers that Charlotte can understand Korean. We also learn that Dan has a crush on Charlotte. They wonder where all the power is coming from and Charlotte wants to add that question to the list. Jin confronts Charlotte about her being able to speak Korean and she tries to deny it but when Jin threatens to hurt Daniel, Charlotte agrees that Sun will be on the chopper when it leaves the island. They begin the surgery and Jack starts to freak out from the pain. Juliette asks Bernard to put Jack out and for Kate to leave. After the surgery Kate goes in to see Jack while Juliette is stitching him up. Juliette assures Kate that everything is fine and she admits that Jack kissed her but it wasn't for her, he was trying to prove that he loves someone else. Kate thanks her and Juliette tells Jack that she knows he heard the whole thing.

FLASH FORWARD
This week's flash forward is for Jack and it begins when Jack answers the house phone and hops in the shower with Kate. Jack is living with Kate and Aaron and Jack reads Alice in Wonderland to Aaron. Kate says she's glad Jack changed his mind about Aaron. Later, Jack thinks he sees his father at his office when he receives a call from Santa Rose about Hurley. He goes to pay him a visit where Hurley explains how he thinks all of the survivors are dead and never left the island. Jack tries to rationally explain that they left the island and Hurley is surprised he is living with Aaron, he equates their life now to heaven and Jack admits he's happy. Hurley says he was happy until he saw Charlie and Hurley explains how Charlie predicted that Jack would come by and to give him a message that "you're not supposed to raise him Jack". A clearly agitated Jack refutes the possibility that this could be in reference to Aaron. Hurley's parting words were that Charlie said someone would be visiting Jack soon. Jack wakes Kate up after his visit to Santa Rosa and proposes to her after she reassures him he's a good father. Off the island Jack is at work late when he is distracted by a broken smoke alarm. He walks outside to discover his father, Christian, sitting in the lobby. He's in his funeral outfit. Before a conversation can begin another doctor comes out and writes a prescription for Jack so he can calm down, per Jack's request. Jack returns home to hear Kate on the phone saying that she can stay for at least and hour because Jack is never home before 8. Jack begins his pill popping. Soon Jack is home waiting for Kate the next day and a dressed up Kate comes in, surprised to see Jack home early. He asks where Kate was and she confesses that she was out doing something for Sawyer. Kate asks Jack to clean himself up before he is around her son to which Jack retorts that she isn't even related to him in front of Aaron.

JUNGLE
Sawyer, Claire, and Miles are walking through the jungle when Miles hears the events that transpired in the place they currently are. He hears the deaths of Danielle and Karl and they discover their bodies buried beneath them. Miles freaks saying he isn't friends with the boaties and he didn't sign up for this. Back in the jungle the newly protective Sawyer gives Miles a restraining order from Claire. Miles, Sawyer, and Claire run into Lupidus, the chopper pilot and he warns them that Keamy is coming and they need to hide because he will kill them. Lupidus urges Keamy's crew to leave saying they need to get back to the chopper before nightfall. Claire & co are asleep in the jungle when Claire wakes up to see Christian holding her baby. She follows him into the jungle. Sawyer wakes up to find that Claire is gone. Miles says she wasn't alone and went off into the jungle with her dad. Sawyer finds Aaron near a tree.


1. OMG OMG OMG, all my lost dreams have come true. The show could end because I know Jack and Kate end up together!! Okay, I know what you're thinking, yes they aren't officially together at the end of the episode but she does choose Jack and they do heart each other. Nice try LOST trying to make me think that it wasn't Kate in the shower. But I'm too smart for you because I knew it had to be her, who else could it be?! So Juliette sucks and her input in the love triangle is ovaaaa! She admitted to Kate that Jack kissed her and it wasn't meant for her. CLEARLY jack has always loved Kate, welcome to the table Juliette. And nice try with the whole shaving his stomach thing, she was just looking for an excuse to touch him! Oh, and one other thing about this little love triangle, what about Kate's husband? I was certain LOST would address this but I think since she wasn't who she said she was the marriage didn't really count. But he was cute so I'd like to see him back again.
2. Okay so as much as I love Jack, he was looking like he put on a few in the opening scene, hello my new love for sawyer, haha jk, Jack and Kate forever! Also, where was his scar from the surgery?? And looks like he brought back the tears. Its been a while since we've seen Jack cry which is weird since he usually does in like every episode. But to be fair this was the first Jack flash forward we got all season. I don't care if he's a cry baby, I still love him.

3. I was right about Danielle and Karl being dead. Sad and shocking. I'm so curious about Miles' ghost whispering powers. Scary talent. Also, I did love how Sawyer gave Miles a restraining order. So Sawyer is super tender, again to my point that I think they will kill him off. Although, Jack did elude at the end of the episode that Sawyer chose to stay and Jack chose to leave the island after he saved Kate. So does that mean that Sawyer chooses not to save Kate? Or that he died and couldn't? I think he died and in his death scene that will come he asks Kate to look after his daughter Clementine.

4. So speaking of Clementine, Kate is sneaking around behind Jack's back to help out Sawyer. So I think that basically she is talking to Cassidy since they helped each other out pre island times. Clearly Jack is pissed that she is still concerned with Sawyer. She even referred to Sawyer as "him" so if he is alive maybe he makes it off the island and that's who Kate is referring to at the end of season 3 at the airport? So the fact that Sawyer is still around theoretically doesn't make me happy but whatever, the mere fact that Jack and Kate are engaged is enough to make me turn a blind eye on all that affects their relationship. PS nice rock and super tender proposal.

5. For this island being remote and what not, they certainly get lucky with their doctors and the fact that they can have multiple complicated surgeries. Granted appendectomies are like the easiest surgery out there, not speaking from experience, but surgery is still risky. If Jack comes bouncing back next episode like nothing happened I'll be a little skeptical. Why did he even get sick if he was on the island? He wasn't on Jacob's list so maybe the island won't help him like it does to others.

6. So Charlotte and Dan. Dan likes Charlotte, it seems like she was please to hear this from Jin. I don't think there's much behind it plot wise but I think the four people who came to the island are the nice ones and the boaties are evil. Also, it looks like they don't really know much about the island and they are just as clueless as the losties.

7. So smokey didn't kill Keamy or any of his men. It looked like only one was injured. Call me crazy but that looked like a pretty bad fight in which Keamy was the loser. I don't think bullets can kill smokey so how they heck did they survive it?

8. Okay so I don't think much theory wise happened in this episode, it was really all about the Jack Kate love triangle. But what I do think is important is that Jack was reading Alice in Wonderland to Aaron and the important quote which sums up a lot of the lost mythology was "who in the world am i? ah, that's the great puzzle". LOST makes tons of reference to this story, so that was an interesting little clue.

9. The great return of Christian Shephard. He appeared right after Hurley said he would and then again in the lobby of Jack's hospital. He was dressed in the clothes he was in his coffin and actually spoke to Jack. My theory on the appearance of people posthumously is that they are the island. Also he appeared not only to Jack but to Claire. Hopefully this will lead to the discovery that Jack and Claire are bro and sis. Perhaps Sawyer is involved in this since he is the only one who knows what Christian looks like as a point of reference other than Jack and Claire.

10. Scenes from the next looked awesome. An appearance by Horace Goodspeed, the man who brought Ben to the island and he admits to being dead for 12 years. I don't think he is Jacob but maybe he and Ben are working together. He does seem like he was the only Dharma that Ben liked. Looks like the rescue is getting closer too. Also, did anyone see the news after LOST? I saw the lead in story was tossing babies off a roof onto bed sheets? haha I was just hoping someone watched it and could explain!

See you all next week! Feel free to add your comments :)
