Meanwhile, back on the Island, Faucke tries to stab Jack in the neck. Jack grabs his arm, and prevents the plunge, but not the NECK NICK! Jack struggles for his life, while Faucke gloats like a Batman villain. "I want you to know, Jack, you died for nothing." As more blood seeps from Jack's neck, a shot rings out and Faucke topples over. Up above is none other than my girl Kate, snarling to put the Grrr in girl. "I saved you a bullet!" Hee. Faucke, precipitously close to the edge, tries to lift himself up. There's another earthquake. Faucke looks up. "You're too late." Jack rolls his eyes and kicks the faucker right off the cliff. Faucke smashes into the cliff face and lands on a rock shelf below. Dead. YAY!
Sideways; St Sebastian's: As a post-op Locke is returned to his room, a nurse congratulates Dr. Shephard on his good work, but then asks: "What happened to your neck?" Jack checks the spot that's been troubling him since his flight on Oceanic 815 and discovers it's bleeding again. Jack: It's faucked. "Damn it."
Locke's room: Jack tells the nurse that he's going to grab a shower and try to catch the end of the concert, but she notices Locke is waking up. She says this all disturbed-like, which annoys me, because when you have surgery, they wake you in the recovery room, long before they bring you back to your room. I realize the point is to get Jack alone with Locke, but there are a million other ways to do that, including Jack just stopping by after surgery to follow up with a patient who was first an acquaintance. (Sorry, my oldest just had surgery days ago, so this stuff is on my mind.) Jack then employs the highly technical skill of calling Locke's name to fully wake him, even though he stayed behind because it was of some concern that he was waking so soon. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Darlton? Was this scene written after an all-night kegger?
