Island Reality; Four-Toes Beach: Faux-Locke picks up the knife Ben used to kill Jacob. He wipes it on his pant-leg and then crosses over to a homespun rug, cuts off a square and wipes off the knife some more. This brings to mind the tapestry scrap Ilana found in the cabin, last season but I can't go back now, to see if they're the same. I think I read somewhere though that the scrapestry that Ilana found had an image of Tawaret on it. Does that ring a bell? I, the recapper without HDTV, don't see anything like that on this rug. Meanwhile, Ben stares at the fire pit, as if he's in danger of falling into a catatonic state. Or perhaps he's just doing his best impression of the audience. As far as I can tell, Jacob's corpse isn't in it -- but again, I need HDTV. When Faux-Locke tells him, "Jacob's gone," we both snap out of it. Ben wants to know why Jacob didn't put up a fight. Faux-Locke figures Jacob knew he was beaten. He orders Ben to go outside and tell Richard that he needs to talk to him. Ben wants to know why, but Faux-Locke tells him that's between him and Richard.
Outside, Sun asks Frank who Ilana, Bram and crew are. Frank gives her his brief and violent history with them, then adds, "They said they're the good guys." He looks at Sun and then, "I'm not buying it, either." Meanwhile, Richard is trying to keep Ilana and her crew from entering the statue -- by saying that no one gets inside without an invite from Jacob. Ilana tells him they're on Craphole at Jacob's invitation. That's not good enough for Richard, but the conversation is cut short by Ben, doing Faux-Locke's bidding. When he insists John wants to talk to Richard, Richard drags him over to Locke's corpse, throws Ben on the sand in front of it and says, basically, you first. Ben's eyes get even bigger...if you can imagine.
Hatch-Pit: Everyone tries to free Juliet, but there's a big beam blocking their way down to her. Sawyer orders Jin to go get chains from the van.
