...Ben and Sun wandering through the jungle, alone. Together. She's trying to keep up with him and asks him to wait, but Ben's not interested in waiting. "There are three outriggers near here. I'm gonna take one. So you can come along and help me row..." He stops to remove his sling, so either some of that was fakery, or Craphole's healing powers extend to Hydra Island AND Ben's somewhat back in the island's good graces. He continues: "Or you can stay here. Frankly, it makes no difference to me." Sun asks why he's leaving, but he turns the question back on her. "Why are you staying?" Sun wants to know if the main island is where she'll find Jin. Ben says, "Honestly, I don't know. But that's where I'd start looking." And I faint. Okay, I'm back now. I fainted, because I think he actually was being honest just then. Weird. Oh, maybe my weird-o-meter is back from its trip to the sun.
Frank catches up to them, and although Ben greets him cordially, Frank only addresses Sun. He asks if she's all right and when she confirms she is, Frank says, "I got worried when I couldn't find you. I saw him leaving. What are you doing out here?" I love how it pains him to acknowledge Ben's existence. Sun tells him that Ben knows where there's a boat, and that she's returning to the main island with him. Frank hopes she doesn't think she can trust Ben. Sun says she has no choice but to trust him. They make their way to the beach and Ben starts taking the brush cover off of the outriggers. Ben asks Sun if she's ready. When she says she is, Frank calls out to her. "Sun, I want you to think about this, okay? This guy is dangerous." She looks at him, but continues to remove the brush from the boats. Frank says, "Sun, that boat I came here on -- it was filled with commandos whose only mission was to get him."
