Back at the bar, Dodgy Mate hits the roof because the only thing Charlie took from Frank was a job offer, selling copiers. (Man, a crossover with The Office would rule. Actually, just watching The Office right now would rule. See ya later!) Charlie says he likes Lucy, and Dodgy Mate calls her a moose, which doesn't earn him a punch in the mouth, but it's quite harsh from a man with only a passing acquaintance with showering. Dodgy Mate reminds Charlie that he's supposed to steal something of value from the dude to pay for the heroin, since no one would ever suspect a rock star (Lost apparently existing in an alternate universe where rock stars are paragons of morality and virtue). Charlie fidgets, I imagine because the rock star who needs his tab picked up by his bar conquest and who is having royalty problems might be the first suspect. Charlie just says that Liam's not coming back so he needs to start thinking about his future. Dodgy Mate asks when Charlie starts his new job: Monday. It's Friday now. "A weekend without a fix. Monday should be bloody wonderful. Let's see how the future treats you then, hey, Charlie?" Dodgy Mate stomps off.
Back at camp, despite all these men who supposedly volunteered for guard duty, we only see, naturally, Locke, Sayid, and Boone, Camp Castaway's Spunky Li'l Guard -- who falls asleep at his post.
And it's morning. And Boone jerks awake, realizes he's fallen asleep, and hears something. Is he even by the camp anymore? When he fell asleep, there were fires close by, but now he's surrounded by trees. I'm not sure quite what happened, but I think the only important part is Boone blew it big time. Commercials.
So Boone's looking quite frightened there in the jungle, clutching his spear. The bushes rustle, and he charges at...well, nothing, and he trips and falls flat on his face, and we hear Locke yelling about someone tripping an alarm, and...Vincent shows up, so I guess he came back, that's nice to know, and Sayid and Locke come running up to laugh at Boone. Sayid jokes about finding a missing castaway, but before they can all have a good laugh, someone in the distance screams.
Everyone goes racing to the beach, where some Red Shirt lies dead on the sand. And as a crowd gathers, Sayid wonders how someone could have gotten past them. You mean other than when Boone got caught in a trap and he couldn't get out because he loves Shannon too much baby, and you and Locke left your posts to go laugh at him? Locke looks out to the ocean.
