IF LOOKS COULD KILL

Wow, what a difference a week makes. Or however long it's been since we've seen a fresh episode. This is the LOST we all know and love.

The show starts out with Jack and Locke in the gun locker. Jack asks Locke for the combination, but Locke's worried that once he knows he'll throw him off a cliff. Actually he wants to know if Jack wants it because he doesn't trust him. He eventually gives it up, but not without a few side looks, wondering if this is a good thing. Locke also mentions possibly locking the medicine as well.

Jack looking for Sawyer's mojo

Down at the beach Sawyer has come out of the water and he's half nekked. He could have been giving up the secrets to the island and I wouldn't know. I can't thank the world for Tivo enough, because I paused it, then let it go, then paused it again, then rewound it, and paused it. Ah, yeah. Sawyer sees that Charlie's moved his tent and belongings away from everyone and makes some cute comment. Charlie thinks Sawyer has better things to worry about, like Jack rummaging through his own tent. Sawyer runs up to Jack and asks what the hell is going on. Jack's looking for, and finds, painkillers Sawyer stole. Okay, I know it's not right he stole the drugs, but hello, he's been frakin' shot. He's not taking them to get high. Well, maybe he is, but that's not the point, he's hot. Um, I mean, he got shot. Jack takes the meds back and walks away. Sawyer cuts him a look too. Man, this is a look cutting bunch.

Seriously

In Sawyer's flashback he's in bed with a woman, Cassidy. He looks at the clock and sees that he's running late and jumps up. As he's leaving, his briefcase breaks open. A ton of money falls out and he tells her that she wasn't supposed to see that. She picks up one of the stacks of money and sees that it's fake. She's no dummy and wonders if he's conning her, making her believe he has some scheme to get money and getting her to give up the money she got in the divorce. Apparently he didn't do his homework because she tells him that she didn't get money from her ex-husband. Sawyer's a bit embarrassed until she says that she wants to learn how to con. Seriously, this dude could be gutting fish for a living and I'd want to learn how to do it just so I could hang out with him.


Is it just me or do you see Walt in the background too?

On the island Kate pays a visit to Sawyer. He mentions not having his glasses and wanting her to read him a magazine. She agrees and sits down with him in his tent. Locke walks by and they talk a bit about how he's hanging out with Claire. Sawyer mentions people having needs, and lifts his eyebrow. Yowza. He also mentions the army Jack and Ana-Lucia are putting together. Apparently Kate didn't get the memo, Sawyer didn't either.

Damn you Ana-Lucia

Hurley finds Sayid in the jungle busting up some coconuts pretending they're Ana-Lucia's head. He tells him that Bernard, Rose's husband, is a dentist, and that when he was on his side of he island, they picked up Boone's transmission when he was in the plane. Hurley thinks that maybe they can use Bernard's radio. Sayid doesn't think this'll work and doesn't even want to try. I mean, it's only been a few days since Shannon was killed, the guy is still grieving I guess.

Speaking of that bitch Ana-Lucia, she meets up with Jack in the jungle and wants to know if Locke gave him the combination. He tells her that he did, and she wants to know it. She claims she was just kidding, but you know half of what everyone says in jest is actually true.


Sun and Jin have a freaky side

Sun is over in the jungle gardening. I guess everyone needs a hobby. I'd have an armed guard every time I went gardening, but hey, that's just me. She gets a little nervous, looking around, thinking she hears something. It turns out to be the dog, Vincent. It starts to rain, hard, and then suddenly a bag goes over her head and she starts getting dragged farther into the jungle. On the beach Sawyer and Kate hear her scream and run into the jungle. They find the hood and eventually find Sun who's knocked out on the ground. Sawyer picks her up and carries her to the tent, and they get Jack.

Everyone is wondering what happened and Ana-Lucia thinks it's The Others. She wants to get the guns and go after them. Locke thinks they should wait until Sun wakes up and get the story from her. Kate and Sawyer do a little investigating and find the hood. They realize it's not the same as the one Kate had over her head. Sawyer also points out that Sun getting away is pretty unbelievable, since Kate didn't. He calls her Sheena, how cute. They start to think that maybe it was one of them who did it. Their first guess, and mine too, is Ana-Lucia.


"You wouldn't happen to have loafers would you?"

In Sawyer's flashback he and the lady pull a con on some unsuspecting Yuppies. He goes up to them and offers them fake necklaces he claims are over a grand, and implies he stole them. They don't want to buy until Cassidy shows up and buys one. They fall for it.

I would say it looks like she smells something but that's just how her face is

Sun's pulse is good, so they're optimistic. Kate and Jack talk, and Kate implies that maybe Ana-Lucia had her hand in this. Later, Ana-Lucia and Jack are walking and she tells him that a few more people have signed up for the army, because of what happened. Jack is suspicious and Sun wakes up. She says that she was grabbed, and she was able to get away and ran. She must have been disoriented because she ran into something and knocked herself out. Jin's pissed and wants Jack to give him a gun. Ana-Lucia looks over to Kate, who she knows is suspicious of her. Kate tells Sawyer that they need to tell Locke that the group is coming. She wants him to go and tell Locke, and at first he doesn't want to, but she insists so he goes.

"Like, oh my God"

"You gonna use all the toothpaste?"

Sawyer is with Cassidy still and she's excited about this whole, stealing things from people. She wants to go bigger. He tells her about something called a "Long Con". This is where you get a person do something by making it look like it was their idea. Cassidy tells him that she lied to him, that she did get money from her husband in the divorce, $600,000. She tells him she wants to pull the long con. Hmph.


Look, there's a ping pong table!

In the hatch Locke is organizing the books when Sawyer comes in. He tells Locke about the group coming to get the guns and Locke is a bit worried. Locke wants to move the guns but doesn't know where. He asks how long it's going to be and Sawyer doesn't know. Sawyer reluctantly agrees to stay in the hatch and put the numbers in while Locke moves the guns.


Do you think "Gordie" is his real name? Yeah.

Flashback to Sawyer meeting with his partner, Gordie. Gordie's impressed that Sawyer's been able to con Cassidy, and wants to take the money from her soon. Sawyer's not feeling it anymore and wants to pull out of the scheme. Gordie's disappointed that Sawyer's fell in love with his mark. He says that Sawyer is a con man and a leopard doesn't change his spots and he'll always be one. He then warns Sawyer that if he doesn't go through with it, he'll kill them both.

Jack and the group arrive at the hatch in time to see Sawyer put the numbers into the computer. Jack realizes there're no guns and wants to know where Locke is. Sawyer just smiles and pops a painkiller Jack had taken from him earlier.

Didn't see that one coming

Down on the beach Jack questions Locke about the location of the guns. Locke's convinced there might be another accident if they all get their hands on the guns. They argue about the guns, and Locke asks how many guns Jack wants, Jack says two. All of the sudden gunshots ring out. Sawyer has a gun!!! Everyone is surprised to see him, especially with the gun. He tells them that he's pissed because when he was on the raft, trying to save them, they went through his stuff and took things from him. He says that now he has the guns, they'll have to come to him if they want anything, and now he's in charge. He tells them that a new Sheriff is in town and walks off.

Never go anywhere without the red Sharpie

Sawyer goes to Cassidy's house and confessed everything to her. He says that he has a partner, and she's been the long con. He takes her $600,000 from a briefcase and hurriedly puts it in a duffle bag. He shows her a car outside of the house and says it's Gordie and that if he doesn't come out with the money he's going to kill them both. He hands her the duffle bag and says to go out the back, that down the street there's a rental car. He wants her to drive to some place and meet up with him later. He hurries her out and they say I love you to each other.

Don't get mamma mad

On the island Kate is pissed. She wants to know how Sawyer was able to get the guns since he was in the hatch. Plus she says that he's not a good tracker and couldn't have tailed Locke through the jungle. He admits that he didn't attack Sun though, and Kate knows that's true because they were together when that happened. She walks way and says that she thinks he wants everyone to hate him.

Tune in Tokyo

Hurley is reading a manuscript as Sayid approaches. Sayid says that he's worked on the radio transmitter and tells Hurley that he doesn't think they'll get a signal, but will try. The two sit down and listen to it. Hurley gets excited when they pick up music from what sounds like another era. Sayid isn't optimistic though and says that radio waves can come from thousands of miles away, bouncing off of the ionosphere. I don't know if that's a word, but you get what I'm saying. Sayid says they could be from anywhere and Hurley says, "or any time". He says he's just joking, but you know what I say...


Charlie's in love with that damned hoodie

In the jungle Sawyer is meeting with someone, it's Charlie! Charlie was the one who took the guns and hid them after Locke did. He says he wanted Locke to feel like a fool after what happened with Claire's baby and Locke beating him up. Charlie doesn't want anyone to find out that he's the one who took Sun. Charlie wants to know how Sawyer thought of something like this.

See he does love her

In his flashback it's right after he rushed Cassidy out. He goes out to Gordie's car and gets in the passenger seat. Only thing is Gordie isn't there. Sawyer makes his way back into the house and under the table is the real duffle bag he stuffed with her money.

So sad

Sawyer tells Charlie that a leopard doesn't change his spots. He says that he's not a good person, and that he's never done a good thing in his life. Charlie walks away. Damn this is a good show!
