Treeline: Faucke exits the jungle followed by Ben and a limping Desmond. They meet Sawyer, Kate, Jack and Hurley on a grassy slope. As Faucke says that it's going to be interesting, Kate grabs Sawyer's gun and starts firing at Faucke, yelling, "You killed them." Des and Ben drop to the ground, but Faucke walks right the faucke toward her. After she fires five shots Sawyer manages to wrest the gun away. Faucke: "You might want to save your bullets." Khaters: For yourself.
Finally, Faucke and newly Jacobized Jack come face to face. Faucke: "So it's you? [...] Jacob, being who he is -- I expected to be a little more surprised. You're sort of the obvious choice, don't you think?" The two-headed Darlton-beast pops its furry heads out of the jungle to do the Dance of Intra-textually Deflected Criticism. Jack makes sure to point out he wasn't chosen; he volunteered. Faucke knows Jack's there to stop him. Jack acknowledges he can't. "In fact, I wanna go with you." Faucke: "I'm sorry, Jack. I think you're a little confused about what I came here to do." Jack knows well enough that Faucke is a glowhole hound. Just because he's just been knighted Human Chastity Belt doesn't mean Jack's above a little trash talk, though. "You think you're going to destroy the island." Faucke: "I think?" Jack says yeah, but it's so not going down like that: "I'm gonna kill you." Desmond, Ben, Sawyer, and Kate all play Look at the balls on Doc. Faucke: "How do you plan to do that?" Jack: "That's a surprise." Pony ride!
Sideways; St. Sebastian's: Juliet and Jack meet up and are all smiles and doctor - doctor to each other. Right after he gives her the tickets to that night's big concert, David joins them and asks about the very same tickets. Jack gets to be our anti-climax boy: "I just gave 'em to your mom." Darlton, being what it is -- I expected to be a little more surprised. That's sort of the obvious choice, don't you think? Nah. I'm so satisfied with this and I'll get to that later, I promise. Juliet hands the tickets to David, who asks Jack: "Who is going to take yours?" Jack suggests they take Auntie Claire. That's fine with Juliet, because this divorce is better than most marriages. "In fact, I'm very curious to meet this mysterious sister you never mentioned the entire time we were married." Jack: "Well, I'm sure you're going to love her. She's extremely pregnant." They laugh together and make me reconsider my long-standing quadrangle division picks (Jack/Kate; Juliet/Sawyer). Stop that, you two. There's not enough time. Seeming to hear me, Juliet puts her arm around her son's shoulder and they head toward the elevator, bless her. I mean, I'm used to Kate and Sawyer messing with my heart weekly; I don't need it from Juliet and Jack, too. When the door opens, Detective James Ford exits. He doesn't seem to notice Juliet. I find the dynamite I squirreled away from the Black Rock and try to blow myself to kingdom come, but the Island isn't done with me, yet. Meanwhile, James asks at the desk for Sun Paik's room.
