Back at the work camp, Cool Hand Sawyer sees Juliet standing there, and they lock eyes for a moment, and somebody forgot to write some dialogue for this scene or something. Sawyer stands there glaring, and then Juliet tosses him a canteen, and stands there making faces at him. Sawyer unscrews the canteen... and then dumps the water out onto the ground. Yeah, get dehydration, Sawyer. That'll show 'em. Sawyer swaggers back to work, only to notice that Kate's practically dying of exhaustion. Too bad YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WATER TO GIVE HER.
But what's better than water? How about some Sawyer spit? He drops the wheelbarrow, and strolls over and plants a big greasy one right on her lips. Kate's surprised, but not exactly repulsed, and kisses him back. Danny might not have laid down any rules specifically against kissing, but touching is verboten, and he stomps over and delivers a rifle butt to the back of Sawyer's head just as he's coming up for air. Sawyer drops, and Danny keeps going at him, but Sawyer manages to grab the rifle and get in a couple shots of his own. More Others join the fray, and Sawyer holds his own, except for when he tries to taser this hefty guy and realizes that he doesn't know how to use a taser. Still, he finally manages to get enough room to point the rifle at his captors, but before he can do anything with it, Juliet calls out, "James!" He looks over, and Juliet's holding Kate's arm. She's also pointing a gun at her. "Put the gun down. Right now," she says. He doesn't do it right away, so she repeats the command. He tosses the rifle aside, and a bloodied Danny takes out his taser for a little payback. He zaps Sawyer, who writhes around on the ground as a distraught Kate looks on. Way to help him out back there, Kate.
Back at the beach, Jin and Sayid hang out in the trees around the fire, waiting. Nothing could possibly go wrong! Out on the boat, Sun's using a butane lighter to ignite one of the stove's burners, and puts a pot over the flame. She looks like she's about thirty seconds away from kicking back with a good book in one hand and a rye and Coke in the other. She hears something thumping, and we cut to a shot of many people's legs and feet boarding the boat. Sun gasps, and goes for the gun, which is indeed wrapped in the tarp like Sayid said it was. Tarps. Is there anything they can't do?
