Jack strolls up. "You hooked it. Try keeping your left arm straight," he says. Didn't she hit it where she was aiming? Wasn't that why Hurley said, "Crap"? Did I miss something? Oh, wait, Jack's just being a know-it-all. Should have known. "You're giving me tips?" says Kate, all incredulous, like maybe I missed the episode where Kate's backstory is that she's Annika Sorenstam or something. Kate, he's a doctor. "Kate, I'm a doctor," he says. She asks if he thinks he could do better, and Jack laughs his silly-woman laugh. He says that anyone can hit a ball, but that's not golf. "Golf is accuracy," he says. It's a real pompous-athon tonight, isn't it? Kate suggests playing a few holes and seeing who's more accurate. And she's flirting with him. So I guess the Kate love train is back on the Jack track. Of course, the writers are only doing this because Sawyer's coming back to the camp this episode. Jack looks over at Charlie and Hurley and grins, and the two of them are over to the side hooting like Statler and Waldorf. Jack thinks she's kidding, but she ain't: "Three holes, no handicap, we play for bragging rights." And hey, what are they waiting for? They stroll off. Charlie looks like he's enjoying this, Hurley looks somewhat nonplussed that his game is over.
The Tailaways are trying to get a still-unconscious Sawyer to drink some water. Libby says they should just continue to the camp, and the Lostaways will understand it was an accident. Sayid's now tied to a tree. So who tied him? "They'll understand? I killed one of them," says Ana-Lucia. Sayid comes to, and seems disoriented for a moment. Ana gestures to Michael and Jin and tells Libby that if those two move, to shout.
She then stomps over to Sayid, who calmly tells her to untie him. She says she won't, so he yells it at her. Ana-Lucia looks mildly surprised that Sayid is upset with her after she shot his girlfriend, knocked him out, and tied him to a tree. And things just keep falling apart; Eko puts Sawyer over his shoulders and starts walking. She asks what he's doing. "I'm taking him back to his camp," he says. She asks him not to go, and says that if things were reversed, Sawyer would leave Eko to die. I don't imagine Sawyer could move Eko, let alone carry him, but I guess that's not the point. "I'm not doing it for him. I'm doing it for me," says Eko, and leaves.
