In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description! Finished? Click here to close.It's a Juliet episode, which I assume means half of you didn't watch it. Juliet and Jack take off into the jungle to find Charlotte and Daniel, who have disappeared. Harper, Juliet's old shrink, shows up and tells her where to find Charlotte and Daniel. She also tells Juliet to kill them both before they release the gas that will kill everyone on the island. Juliet and Jack take off for the Tempest, another station on the island, where all the super-dangerous chemicals are stored. Along the way, they run into Kate, who is lying around unconscious because Charlotte clocked her when she found that Daniel was carrying a bag full of gas masks. Juliet dumps Jack and Kate and gets to the Tempest, where she finds Daniel fiddling with a computer (which is giving audible warnings about contamination and such). Daniel claims that he's not trying to release the gas -- he's trying to make it harmless. Juliet tries to stop him, but he gets to keep working when Charlotte arrives and starts beating on Juliet. Ignoring the catfight going on behind him, Daniel makes the gas inert at the very last second.
At the Barracks, Locke and Ben continue their male bonding. Ben convinces Locke to let him out of the basement in exchange for some information. That information consists of a videotape of the man allegedly in charge of the freighter. That man? Our very own Charles Widmore. Ben also gives Locke a file he has on Widmore. And he gives him the name of his man on the boat -- but we don't get to hear it. Since Ben gave him the info, Locke agrees to let him live in a house.
Finally, the flashbacks are all about Juliet and her earlier time on the island. She was initially miserable, and her misery was made worse by the thought that Harper hated her. Fortunately, Harper has an attractive and sympathetic husband in whose arms Juliet can find some comfort. That husband was Goodwin, by the way. Harper asks Juliet to stop sleeping with Goodwin because she's afraid that Ben will do something to hurt Goodwin in order to get him out of the way. Why would he do that? Why, because he thinks he owns Juliet. Back in the present, Juliet warns Jack that someday Ben will come after him because Ben knows how Juliet feels about Jack. Jack decides that’s the perfect time to kiss Juliet. Want more? The full recap starts right below!
Kate, still pointing her gun at Charlotte, tells her to lead the way. She looks to see if Jack is going to come along, but he tells her that he's happy to take Charlotte's word for it. Hey, what do you know? That leaves Jack alone with Juliet. Jack strokes her face where she's still bleeding from the fight. She tells him that Ben told her to kill Daniel and Charlotte. He doesn't get how Ben can tell her anything, since he's a prisoner. Juliet doesn't have an answer to that, but she points out that he clearly knew how to find her and how to find Charlotte and Daniel. Juliet: "These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben's gonna win, Jack. And when he does, you don't want to be anywhere near me." Jack asks why that is, and she tells him, "Because he thinks that I'm his. And he knows how I feel about you." You mean Juliet has feelings? Jack leans in and kisses her. Jack: "He knows where to find me."Hurley and Sawyer are playing horseshoes at the Barracks. Sawyer has a good throw, but then Hurley throws a ringer. As they bicker, they notice Ben walking along the sidewalk with some linens in his hand. Sawyer asks him what the hell he's doing walking around. Ben: "See you guys at dinner." Again, Ben should always get the last line.
