Episode Report Card Daniel: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Good…bad…Ana's the one with the gun

Elsewhere, Eko is examining the Dharma swan logo, and the beeping stops. He's looking around, undoubtedly realizing the Tailaways completely got the short end of the hatch stick, when Locke strolls in. They size each other up. "Hello," says Locke. Eko does the same. They look at each other some more.
Bernard approaches Ana-Lucia. "What are we doing here, Ana?" he whispers. "I mean, their camp has gotta be close. I just want to get back to my wife." She asks him how long she's kept him alive (inflated sense of self-worth?) and when he doesn't answer, she's all, "That's right. So CUT ME SOME SLACK." But here comes Libby, who says they just want to know what the plan is. "She has no plan," calls Sayid from his tree. "She only has her guilt. And a gun." Ana's all, you want a plan? Here's your plan! She stomps over to Michael and asks if there's any more ammo for the gun back at the camp. He says there is. She says she wants at least half of it, plus a pack with a blanket, some medicine, and some clothes. "You bring all of that stuff back to me, and I'll let your friend go." Michael says he won't leave Sayid, since they "stick together," but Libby says he should, and then Jin tells Michael to go to, clearly trying to communicate that he'll look after Sayid. So Michael tells Sayid he'll be back, and leaves.
Libby doesn't like this "plan," such as it is, and tells Ana-Lucia that she can't live out here alone. "I'm already alone," she says, and maybe that has more to do with her propensity for getting people killed than she's willing to admit. Sayid watches the disintegration of Ana-Lucia with interest.
Back at Police HQ, Super Trooper and Ana-Lucia are finishing up their shift. Super Trooper frostily says he'll sign them out, and Ana-Lucia sarcastically notes that he's talking to her again. She defends herself by saying she told the guy twice to stop. "So does that mean every time we run into some yo-yo with a TV in his hands you're going to draw down?" They're interrupted by Raggs, who's there to tell Ana-Lucia: "Your guy? We got 'im." Ana-Lucia looks stunned, then brushes past Super Trooper.
Some skell (police lingo I picked up from NYPD Blue) is sitting by himself in an interrogation room, while Captain Foxy Mama fills in Ana-Lucia on the other side of a one-way mirror: "His name is Jason McCormack. We picked him up on an assault on an elderly woman in Echo Park. His fingerprints match the partial from your crime scene. We questioned him, and he confessed. The DA's ready to file charges. All he needs is for you to ID him." Ana-Lucia barely glances at the guy before saying, "It's not him." He confessed, points out Captain Foxy Mama. Ana-Lucia says she doesn't know the guy. Captain Foxy kicks everyone else out of the room, probably since she'd prefer not to discipline her daughter in public.
