Anyhow, Kate deftly turns the tables on Ford. She notes that he failed to arrest her at LAX, even though he saw her handcuffs. In this reality, James Ford is the worst liar in the world, but he gives it his best and insists he never saw the cuffs. His wide eyes are totally his tell and... OMG, I need a sidebar.
Sidebar: Is it just me, or is there something about Ford here, that makes him look like John Locke? Don't believe me --- okay. Picture Locke with shaggy hair. Picture Ford (as he looks here) with none. Is it the eyes, or what? Don't tell me I'm the only one.
ANYhow, Kate is apparently psycho psychic in this reality, because she tells Ford that, in her opinion, he let her go at LAX, because he didn't want anyone to know that he'd been in Australia. "Should I tell that to the Feds, when they get here?" Ford, who should never, ever play poker, ages ten years in two seconds. However, he manages not to choke on the apple that HE'S STILL CHEWING, as he says, "Oh, I like you." Oh baby, you always have, and she's always liked you back, except for when she hated your guts.
Just then, they're interrupted by Jim's partner, Detective Miles Straume, who pulls Ford in to investigate a multiple shooting at a restaurant. In addition to the female gunshot victim (Sun), someone has killed a bunch of crooks, including Keamy. Video surveillance tape reveals Sayid's face. James: "Put a name to that face. That's our bad guy." You don't know the half of it, boys.
Sideways; Camp Faucke: Jack sits alone, observing Shell of Sayid. When Kate joins him, she says, "He's different now." [He has a soul, now? Sorry. That's a bit of a tic. Clearly Shell of Sayid is not with the soulage. Sorry to interrupt. --Buffy.] Jack guesses they're all different, but Kate has no desire to wax philosophical. Instead, she asks Jack what Locke said to him. Jack: "He said that he wants to leave, and we all have to go together." Kate wants to know if Jack believes Faucke. Jack's not sure yet. Their conversation is cut short when an interloper enters the camp. It's Zoe. Any chance she's young David Shephard's mother in the other reality? Ben's Annie? Zach and Emma's mom? (I don't see the kids and Cindy in this scene, but you people still haven't sent me an HDTV set, so who am I to judge?) Is there any chance she's here for any reason about which I could possibly care? Please, Show. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Don't let me down.
