Islandways; Down By the Riverside: Jack is mesmerized by his new mate -- the Island -- so he doesn't catch Kate spying on him from the trees, which is just as well, because she looks nearly as jealous of Craphole as she once was of Juliet. Finally, she sighs and turns away. It's not long before Sawyer approaches Jack. He wants to know what the hell happened during First Holy Island Communion. Jack chuckles. "That makes two of us." Sawyer: "So, you're the new Jacob, huh? Feel any different?" Jack: "Not really." Sawyer: "Well Doc, how about you come down off the mountaintop and tell us what the hell the burning bush had to say for itself." James, since this is the finale, it no longer makes sense for me to speculate, so could you at least leave me the religious wisecracks? Ta.
Jack addresses Hurley, Kate and Sawyer by Jacob's fire which is now just smoke and embers. He's got to go out past the bamboo grove, and over the ridge, to the heart of the island -- a light. Hurley asks what happens if Faucke succeeds in putting it out. Jack says then that's it for all of them. See, he can't really explain it either, but the time for questions is so last season. Kate can't figure why Faucke hasn't already done the deed. Sawyer: "'Cause he ain't got what he needs. I'm guessing that'd be Desmond." He turns to Jack: "That's where we were headed before your inauguration. Sayid said Locke tossed him in a well." Jack confesses Jacob never mentioned Desmond. Sawyer says Jacob didn't say much of anything. Hurley: "That's kinda true, dude. He's worse than Yoda." Kind of true, that is, dude. Worse than Yoda, he is. Hmm. Sawyer tells the other three to head toward the heart, while he gets the "magic leprechaun" out of the well. That's brownie, Himbo. As he heads off, Sawyer turns back to Kate with a smirk. "I'd ask you along, but that'd take all the fun out of me telling you you can't come." Kate smirks right back at him. "Oh, I guess I'll just have to resist the urge to follow you anyway." Besides, today I love Jack best, because he's gonna die, lovah. Hurley: "I've got a bad feeling about this." I know, dude -- right?
