Four-Toes Beach: Ilana sits alone inside the statue base, crying over her lost crew. When Ben makes his presence known, Ilana asks what happened. Ben says there's a chance she won't believe him. It is to laugh. "John Locke killed them. [...] He turned into a pillar of black smoke and he killed them right before my eyes." I wonder if his tongue turns black when he tells the truth. Not to worry. He's going to cleanse it with a luscious lie any second now. Ilana asks, "Did he kill Jacob as well?" Ben says: "Yes." When Ilana is done rolling her eyes, she asks where Jacob's body is. Ben tells her that Faucke kicked Jacob into the fire and he burned away. Ilana walks to the fire pit. Most of the ashes are grey, but the ones in the center are white. Ilana scoops up some white ash and deposits it into a drawstring bag. Ben wants to know why "Locke" carried Richard out into the jungle. Ilana says, "He's recruiting." Were this world righteous, we'd break to commercial for Monster.com, but instead, we cut to...
New Otherton: As Faucke approaches the Loveless Shack, Iggy Pop and the Stooges are trying their best to make me woobify Sawyer. Love in the middle of a fire fight. Honey gotta strike me blind. Somebody gotta save my soul. The door is ajar, so Faucke pushes it open. Baby, penetrate my mind. Faucke looks around at the disaster that was once Juliet's tidy home. I'm the world's forgotten boy. The one who's searching -- searching to destroy... They keep beating the "forgotten boy" point, but there are no woobies here. Nuh uh. Faucke finds Sawyer in the bedroom, sitting on the floor, swilling booze from the bottle. "Hello, James." Sawyer is no longer sobbing. Now he's more shitfaced and splenetic. He squints at Faucke. "I thought you were dead." Faucke smiles knowingly. "I am." Commercial.
