By LuluBates | Season 3 | Episode 19 | Aired on May 1, 2007
Back at the beach, Charlie is scavenging for food in the canteen. Jack comes over and asks Charlie all about the camping trip that he was totally left out of. Awkward! Charlie hems and haws his way out of the conversation, grabs the food, and heads to the tent. He tells Desmond and Hurley that they have to tell Jack about the pilot. Maybe they should have the doctor look at her giant wound? Desmond says he is fine telling Jack so long as they swear that they trust him after his intensive tour of duty with the Others. He was with Them for ten days, and now he only hangs around with Juliet, the woman who had their friends in cages just days ago. Naomi the pilot is potentially their only way off the Island. Do they really trust Jack? Sadly for Jack, no one is willing to swear to his trustworthiness. Poor Jack; no way is he getting invited to any sleepovers now! Let alone the All-Island Jamboree planned for the season finale! Desmond says to bring him someone they do trust. Hurley goes off looking for the one friend he can always count on: Mr. Giant Jar of Peanut Butter.
When Sawyer chased after Locke, he did not pass Go, he did not collect two hundred dollars, and he did not stop to put his shoes on. No one thinks this is a particularly good situation, but they keep on trekking while Sawyer adds to his collection of ringworm, hookworm, and giant-ass splinters. As Sawyer tiptoes through the underbrush, he asks Locke what else is in the file on him. Locke says that he knows Sawyer's parents died when he was very young, but it doesn't say why his dad killed his mom and then turned the gun on himself. They have his high school transcripts too. Fuck, those things never go away! Okay, I will just tell you now, because apparently it's going to come out eventually: I got a C+ in Drama. I am not theatrical, okay? Geez. Damn permanent record. Sawyer is as happy at the prospect of reviewing his high school transcript as I am. As Locke continues recounting Sawyer's personal information, Sawyer whips out his gun, knocks Locke in the back of the head, and takes him down. He was conned once by Ben and he is not going to be conned again. He pins Locke, grabs his knife, and demands to know why Locke came back for him. Locke says he can't do it -- he can't kill him! As Sawyer gets off him, Locke punches the ground in frustration. Sawyer says they will go get Ben and bring him back to the camp, but that he isn't killing anyone. Locke says he understands, but that Sawyer will change his mind when he hears what he has to say.
