Juliet smiles as though Jack is crazy, and says Jack can talk to Ben all he wants, but Ben isn't going to tell him anything. "You work for him," prompts Jack, and Juliet says she doesn't work for him, and she corrects Jack's followup theory that Ben's in charge. She says everyone makes decisions together. Jack reminds her of when he had a broken plate pressed against her neck; Ben seemed content to let her die. "I mean, it felt like he made that decision on his own." It takes Juliet a while before she can come up with something that's still kind of lame, i.e. that Jack doesn't know what he's talking about, said in a way that lets us know Jack hit it right on the head. But Juliet says she doesn't answer to Ben.
But when Ben bursts in and says Juliet needs to come with him, it paints a whole different picture, doesn't it? Of course, Juliet does her best to save face, asking if this can wait. "The sub is back. We have a situation. So come with me now," says Ben quietly. Juliet barely glances at Jack, so there's no time for him to smirk at her. But after they leave, Jack goes to listen at the door.
Meanwhile, a stretcher is being urgently carried through the tall jungle grass.
The clanking of Sawyer's cage door wakes him up, as Danny and other Others rouse Kate and Sawyer to work. After what happened before, Danny's sporting a big nose bandage. Saywer says, "You're sounding a little stuffy there, Chinatown." And if you don't know what he means, then you haven't seen the movie. And if you haven't seen the movie, you should see the movie. Go ahead; we'll wait.
