Sideways; St. Sebastian's: Jack watches over a sleeping Locke. The patient stirs, and then begins talking in his sleep. Jack: "Mr. Locke, are you awake." Sleeping-Locke: "Push the button." Jack: "Mr. Locke, can you hear me?" Sleeping-Locke: "I wish you had believed me." The glint from that second mirror is hitting Jack square in the eye, but he's distracted when he hears his brand new sister out in the hall, looking for him.
Claire Littleton has come there just to find him and asks if they can talk. Jack says, "Yes, yes," and takes her to the lounge. Once they're there, he buys an Apollo bar from the candy machine. This time, it doesn't need a little push, neither does Jack. He offers the candy to Claire, who refuses politely. Watching your waistline, Claire? Jack apologizes for running out of the will reading the other day. "I did have an emergency." Claire says, "No worries." She acknowledges this meeting is awkward for both of them and adds that she never met "this man." She then shows him a beautiful inlaid wooden music box their lawyer gave her. Her father especially wanted her to have it. When she asks Jack if he knows anything about it, he laughs. "I have no idea, but then -- I didn't know about you, either." Claire smiles, but then grows serious and asks how Christian died. Jack: "He was found in an alley, outside a bar in Sydney. He drank himself to death. "I flew down to bring his body back, but then the airline lost it." Claire: "I just flew in from Sydney a few days ago." Jack's eyes grow wide. "When?" Claire: "Last Wednesday." Jack blinks and shakes his head. "Oceanic Flight 815?" Claire: "Uh, yeah." They connect the rest of the dots silently, then Jack asks to take a look at the music box. He sits next to her and they open it. It plays "Catch a Falling Star." There's a mirror inside, and this week, we get a reflection of Jack and Claire, together. Then it happens. Jack reaches out to his poor (although probably not financially poor, now that she's in on Christian's will) pregnant bastard sister. He tells her to leave her motel and come stay with him. Claire is surprised: They're strangers. Jack corrects her: They're family. Yay!
Islandways: The Losties hide in the brush and stake out the sub. Sawyer's calling the shots. Oh for Faucke's sake, why are these people not running things past Hurley? Faucke kneels down with his recruits, slips his backpack off, and places it way behind him. No guards are visible, but they know they're there somewhere, so Sawyer says they're going in hard. "Lapidus, Hugo, Jin, Sun -- you're with me. The rest of you -- wait 30 seconds, head down the dock behind us." Then he turns to Jack and Faucke: "Think you two can get our backs?" Jack nods and answers Sawyer with a look, as well as his words. "Absolutely." Sawyer: "All right, let's go home."
