She goes to see Jack (big surprise) in the bathroom section of his cave, where Jack is shaving. "Say you're having really bad headaches, every day," says Kate, and Jack, assuming she's doing that "my friend" routine that people use with doctors sometimes, asks if she's all right. So who are we talking about, asks Jack. Kate, who smiles all the time when she's delivering her lines for some reason, says it's Sawyer. "I just think there might be something really wrong with him," she says. Something more wrong than normal, I guess she means. Jack asks what Sawyer thinks. "He says he's fine, but..." says Kate, and Jack interrupts to say that then Sawyer is fine. Kate says she thinks Sawyer's playing it down. Jack says he'd like nothing more than to check Sawyer out and see if he's not got a screw or two loose somewhere, but all he's going to get for his trouble is a "snappy one-liner" and, if he's lucky, maybe a new nickname. Shit, what a crybaby. My GP, Dr. Crustyface, never complains about that, as far as I know. "I'm just over it," says Jack.
Back at the trebuchet factory, Locke's working his ass off when Boone comes strolling up. "You're late," says Locke, like maybe Boone took a longer lunch hour than Locke allows. How nice that Locke is becoming the Dave Grohl of the island. Boone says he thinks he's done working. "This is useless. You can't open this thing. You say you can, but you can't," says Boone, and as we know, Locke hates to be told what he can't do, and he says that he and Boone were supposed to find the hatch, and blah blah blah, and Boone wants to know, if the two of them were "supposed" to find the hatch, why haven't they been able to open it. Locke can't answer, so he says, "The island will send us a sign." Not surprisingly, Boone ain't buyin' that. And since he's showing a backbone, how much do you want to bet this is a dream sequence? "All that's happening now is our faith is being tested, our commitment. But we will open it! The island will show us how!" Boone wants to know what kind of sign the island's going to send. And we hear the sound of a propeller engine. Locke looks up and sees a low-flying plane, black smoke trailing behind it, cross the sky. He points at it, and asks if Boone saw that. Boone doesn't respond; he's looking to the sky, but in a different direction. And we see a quick flash of Boone, still looking to the sky, only now he's covered with blood, then back to normal. And then there's Swoosie, fur coat and all, standing in the jungle, pointing to the sky. And Bloody Boone again, repeating over and over, in a deep voice, "Theresa falls up the stairs, Theresa falls down the stairs." Locke's back in his wheelchair now, and he struggles to get out, saying, "Don't take it back now!" and pitches forward, out of the chair.
