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.
As everyone leaves, Ana-Lucia looks everywhere in the room except straight into her mom's eyes. "Why are you doing this?" asks Mama, and Ana-Lucia repeats that it isn't him. She's clearly lying. "He put four bullets into you. Hollow-points through your vest [side note: I'm told hollow-points wouldn't be able to do that. I'm somewhat concerned when people volunteer information on certain types of bullets]. He tried to kill you." Mama ask if Ana wants to put the guy back out on the street. Ana-Lucia just repeats that it isn't him, and leaves the room. I presume they cut the part where Mama said, "I'm not done with you yet, young lady!" (And then Ana-Lucia shot her.)
Back on Craphole Island, Ana-Lucia examines the body of special guest star Maggie Grace, who didn't have to learn any lines for this episode. Ana-Lucia appears regretful and overwhelmed, if that's worth anything. …Thought not.
