Kate is sitting on the table in the kitchen (such reckless behavior for a girl in a nude underwire bra!) when Jack comes over. She recommends the oatmeal. As he mucks about in the canteen, Kate explains that she is lost without a cage to escape from, an adventure to head out on, a person to rescue, or an excuse to go running into the jungle. She doesn't know what to do with herself. Jack basically ignores her and says that she should enjoy it because something is bound to go wrong sooner or later. She ignores his ignoring and says her adventure for the evening is that she is going to wash her dishes. In the ocean! Jack tells her to be careful and then asks for her spoon. She sanitarily washes it off in her mouth and hands it to Jack. He thanks her for it and without washing the spoon, walks off to eat with Juliet. As Kate gathers up her dishes, she glances over and sees Juliet and Jack EATING TOGETHER. She realizes that she and Jack are, like, totally broken up. She looks shocked and hurt. I totally understand this feeling, because in second grade, my supposed best friend Heather played My Little Pony during recess with that bitch Kara instead of me. When I saw that, I knew we were SO not BFF anymore. It hurt. Kate barges into Sawyer's tent, tells him not to talk, and then proceeds to tears his clothes off and mount him in a style most unbecoming a lady. Sawyer asks if she is crying and she tells him not to talk. It's easy not to talk when someone has her tongue down your throat!
The boys are gathered around the campfire laughing while Jin is either telling ghost stories or engaging in some Korean Noh theater production where they hold a flashlight under their face and scare the bejesus out of Hurley. Charlie puts down his guitar and walks over to join Desmond who has opted to sit by himself in the bushes. Is there a merit badge for lurking? 'Cause Desmond has definitely earned it. Desmond is staring at the picture of him and Penny. Charlie asks about it, and Desmond shows it to him. Charlie takes the picture, leers at Penny and skeeves me out by saying, "That's not bad, Des, not bad at all." Is there a merit badge for having a hot girlfriend? Charlie asks how Desmond left her behind to come to the island and push a damn button? Desmond says he was a coward. Charlie mysteriously apologizes for Desmond's shortcomings, but Desmond says he was sorrier. He tried to run away from her, but she tracked him down because with enough money and determination you can find anyone. She never gave up. Now he hopes she spent the last three years looking for him. Is that a healthy relationship? I vote hell no! My impending rant on the topic is interrupted by the sound of a very troubled helicopter. The campers all listen as they helicopter propeller slows way down. Hurley asks if that is how it is supposed to sound and all three turn to glare at him and say, "No." They listen intently as the helicopter makes a cracking noise and then the propellers stop and the helicopter splashes into the water. Desmond looks positively aghast. Charlie and Hurley argue about whether they can go out in the ocean to attempt a rescue, but give up when Jin points out what looks to be a signal beacon attached to a parachuter descending through the night sky. Desmond claps his hands together and smiles in anticipation.
