Episode Report Card Cindy McLennan: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT I Will Be Your Father Issues
By Cindy McLennan | Season 5 | Episode 13 | Aired on 04.15.2009
Kate asks Sawyer what he's going to do when they find out. He'll do his best to cover. Then he fans his tail feathers like the big old peacock he is. "In case you haven't noticed..." He pauses to gesture towards his nifty jumpsuit. "I'm the head of security." Kate smiles and thinks what a giant dork! What did I ever see in him? He's all yours, Juliet. I'm busy trying to choose between Baby-Killer Sayid and Baby-Abuser Roger. See ya later, loser. Sawyer heads back to his own van and we cut to...
Miles ejects the video tape from the recorder. Even Dharma's cassettes have custom Dharma labels, pre-printed with a Dharma insignia and "DHARMA SURVEILLANCE TAPE." I wonder if their labeling compulsion was the inspiration for the designer jeans craze that started with Jordache back in 1978? Before he can grab or erase the tape, Horace walks in looking for LaFleur; he can't reach him on his walkie. Miles lies that he must be "out of range." Horace needs something done, and since LaFleur is unavailable, he tells Miles he's going to bring him into the "Circle of Trust." Somehow, Miles manages not to roll his eyes and call Horace out on his hippie dippie dipshit ways, and assures Horace he can "absolutely" trust him. Horace gives him a black package to bring out to Radzinsky in grid 334. "He's gonna give you something in return. I want you to bring it back to me with no questions asked. You understand?" Despite the fact that he nods, Miles seems not to understand, because the first thing he does is question these instructions. "We're not supposed to be in 3-3-4. Isn't that hostile territory?" Horace says, "Welcome to the Circle of Trust," so Miles salutes him with his walkie and goes off on his new mission. The camera zooms in on the security equipment, just in case we forgot that Miles forgot to erase or snatch the tape of Sawyer and Kate out by the pylons.
Miles drives a VW Bus over a dirt road in the jungle until Radzinsky jumps out in front of him, aiming a rifle right at him and yelling, "Stop right there." Duck and floor it, Miles! Duck and floor it. Radzinsky, as friendly as ever, hollers that he was expecting LaFleur. Miles explains that Horace sent him and comes off all awkward, as well he should, when he adds, "I'm in the Circle of Trust." How fabulous would it be if Radzinsky laughed aloud at that? Well, he doesn't, because nothing about Radzinsky is fab and every episode he's in I hope will be the episode in which he commits suicide or even better, "suicide."
