Submarine; 1977: An announcement comes over the P.A. system, blah-blahing about system checks and operational depth. The captain then tells the passengers they'll soon be receiving their sedatives and will be escorted to their sleeping berths. "Have a nice rest. See you on the other side." Kate tells Sawyer and Juliet that they have to get out of there. Sawyer reminds her they're underwater, duh, and asks what she's doing on the sub anyhow. How did she get caught? She tells them (him) that she came back to get them (him) and that Jack's about to blow up a hydrogen bomb. When Sawyer asks why he'd do that, Kate does not, of course answer him, because this is Lost. Instead, she says they have to, duh, stop Jack. Juliet looks to James for his answer. He sighs. "Sorry, I'm gonna pass. [...] You just don't get it, Kate. We were happy until y'all showed up, but now that's all over, so we're going to drink our O.J. and take our chances in the real world. If Jack wants to blow up the island? Good for Jack." Speaking of Jack, we cut to...
The Tunnels Under Dharmaville: Jack wonders aloud how they're going to move a 10 ton bomb across the island, Sayid corrects that it's actually 20 tons. Don't be that guy, Sayid, or I'll exile you to Ted Mosby's Duchy.. He gets over himself quickly enough and informs Jack that Daniel's notes indicate they don't have to take the whole bomb, just the core. And Daniel, being Daniel, left detailed instructions on how to remove it, arm it, dump it in the Swan and make everything go KABOOM. People all over the internet buzz about whether or not that's a workable plan, so I wave my hands until that swarm of mosquitoes leaves me alone, because it's a workable plan on Lost where people travel through time, come back to life, and whatnot, and because if I knew that much about thermonuclear weaponry, I'd be working for the Pentagon, and wouldn't have to pay self-employment taxes.
