Sawyer's gang is trudging through the jungle. Claire nearly trips, and Miles offers to carry the baby. Sawyer again tells him to back off. And then there's a sound in the trees. It's Frank, the chopper pilot, carrying a first aid kit in his hand. Sawyer doesn't know who he is, but Miles obviously recognizes him. Frank tells them that Keamy is on the way there, so they should hide but quick. Frank has one of the phones with the GPS tracker on it, and he shows them that Keamy and some other little dots are on the way. They hide in some trees, and then just a few seconds later Keamy and four other soldiers emerge from the trees. One of them is injured. Is that the best you could do, Smokey? Keamy asks Frank where the chopper is; it's about a kilometer back in the direction Frank was coming from. Keamy hands the first aid kit to one of his men. And then Aaron makes a noise, which raises Keamy's suspicions but which also sounds enough like a bird chirping to make him uncertain of what he heard. Keamy starts staring around, but Frank tells him that they have to leave before it gets dark because he won't fly again at night. So they leave.
Beach. Kate tells Juliet that the surgical tent is all ready. Juliet asks her if she'll help out by holding the mirror. Kate is uncertain, but seems to agree. They share a laugh over what a stubborn ass Jack is. And then he proves it by stumbling out of his shelter, insisting that he's well enough to walk to the operating table. Juliet leaves Kate to walk Jack to the surgical tent. She tells him, "Looks like I'm going to be your nurse." Jack: "Wouldn't be the first time." He starts go give her an "in case I die" speech, but she shuts him up.
Flash-forward. Jack is sitting in his car/jeep thing, parked in front of Hurley's mental hospital and staring at the bench where Hurley claimed to have spoken with Charlie. He gets back to Kate's house and finds her asleep in bed. So he wakes her up and asks her if she really thinks he'd make a good parent. She does. So he proposes. With a ring and everything. She cries and tells him the answer is "yes." Commercials.
Beach. Nighttime. Juliet is lighting torches when Bernard tells her that the surgical scavengers are back. Juliet takes the supplies and then enlists Sun's help to sterilize the instruments in boiling water. Can't Sun get a rest? Aren't there some unnamed slackers who can sterilize things? As everyone else leaves, Jin asks Charlotte to stay. In Korean, he tells her that he knows she can understand him. She finally remembers to try to act innocent, and tells him she doesn't understand what he's saying. He keeps trying, and she keeps denying understanding him. Until Jin tells her that if she doesn't 'fess up, he's going to break Daniel's fingers one at a time. That does the trick, and Charlotte asks him, in Korean, what he wants. He tells her that when the chopper returns, she's going to make sure that Sun gets on it and gets off the island. He doesn't care what happens to anyone but her. Charlotte agrees.
