Locke's crossword puzzle is interrupted as Kate opens the door and Jack comes in, carrying Sawyer with him, saying he's burning up and has to get into the shower. Kate wants to know what she can do, but when Jack describes what she can do (he needs some medicine that I can't spell, and for her to make sure there's clean sheets on the bed. Clean sheets? Kind of presumptuous, Jack. Don't -- oh, they're for Sawyer), she just stands there staring at Sawyer until Jack snaps her out of her reverie. As the hatch's familiar beeping starts, Locke strolls in and asks what happened. Jack doesn't say anything for a moment, then just says, "John. The button." So I guess Jack's fully on board with that now. Locke takes his sweet time to go. Jack turns on the water, and he and Sawyer are finally getting their shower scene together.
Elsewhere, Eko is examining the Dharma swan logo, and the beeping stops. He's looking around, undoubtedly realizing the Tailaways completely got the short end of the hatch stick, when Locke strolls in. They size each other up. "Hello," says Locke. Eko does the same. They look at each other some more.
Bernard approaches Ana-Lucia. "What are we doing here, Ana?" he whispers. "I mean, their camp has gotta be close. I just want to get back to my wife." She asks him how long she's kept him alive (inflated sense of self-worth?) and when he doesn't answer, she's all, "That's right. So CUT ME SOME SLACK." But here comes Libby, who says they just want to know what the plan is. "She has no plan," calls Sayid from his tree. "She only has her guilt. And a gun." Ana's all, you want a plan? Here's your plan! She stomps over to Michael and asks if there's any more ammo for the gun back at the camp. He says there is. She says she wants at least half of it, plus a pack with a blanket, some medicine, and some clothes. "You bring all of that stuff back to me, and I'll let your friend go." Michael says he won't leave Sayid, since they "stick together," but Libby says he should, and then Jin tells Michael to go to, clearly trying to communicate that he'll look after Sayid. So Michael tells Sayid he'll be back, and leaves.
