When the bad guy pushes Shannon down into a pile of trash, Sayid bursts out of the Hummer, overpowers him and reaches out to Shannon. When they touch, they flash back to their (brief, yeah, I know, I'll hit that later) time together on the island. Once he helps her to her feet, Shannon achieves awareness, first. "Sayid." He's right there with her. "Shannon."
As the couple kisses, we cut to Hugo and Boone, over at the gas guzzler. Boone: "I just got pounded, man. Thanks for taking your sweet time." Hugo shrugs. "It takes as long as it takes." Boone: "It was a pain in the ass getting her here from Australia." Hugo: "Yeah, but dude, it was worth it." We cut to Sayid and Shannon making out, which I believe means they agree with Hugo. Boone squints. "Should I go get them?" Hugo watches the couple as he thinks it over. "Nah, let's give them a minute." As Boone nods and laughs we cut to Shannon, who is eating Sayid's face. Can you blame her?
Islandways: Impotent, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and Ben wait on the edge of the bamboo forest. Finally, Miles breaks their silence via walkie-talkie. "Linus, are you there?" He tells the Jack-o-bites that he, Frank and Richard just got to Hydra and are on their way to the plane. Ben cautions him not to blow it up. Miles explains they're not going to; they're going to fly it off the island. "Just get over here, now." Their conversation is cut short by poor, crazy Claire who fires warning shots too close for comfort. That pretty much terminates Miles' end of the conversation, but not before Kate hears enough to (finally) remember (again) why she came back to Craphole. Claire is afraid Faucke sent Miles, Richard and Frank to kill her. Richard does his very best explaining; they're leaving and Claire should come with. Claire: "No." She slings her rifle over her shoulder and walks off, leaving the boys befuddled.
Main Island; Glowhole: Faucke and Jack lower Desmond down nice and easy. After a while, Faucke smiles. "This remind you of anything, Jack? [...] Desmond -- going down into a hole in the ground. If there was a button down there to push, we could fight about whether or not to push it. It'd be just like old times." BLASPHEMER! Jack agrees with me. "You're not John Locke. You disrespect his memory by wearing his face, but you're nothing like him. Turns out he was right about most everything. I just wish I could have told him that while he was still alive." I wish you had believed me. Faucke lies: "He wasn't right about anything, Jack. And when this island drops into the ocean, and you drop with it, you're finally gonna realize that." Jack: "Well, we'll just have to see which one of us is right, then." Guess he shot his quotable wad on that wearing-his-face thing.
