Danny freaks when he sees Jack, but Juliet assures him that Jack's here to help them. "Tell them who did this! He ought to know that!" spits Danny. "I need him out of here," says Jack, as he gets ready to operate. The beeping of Colleen's heart-rate monitor underscores the urgency. Zeke, who's been an awfully helpful Other this episode, leads a protesting Danny from the room, as Jack examines Colleen. Juliet says she got the bullet out, but Colleen's still bleeding. "Right upper quadrant," says Jack, examining the patient, adding that it's flowing badly. Juliet disagrees, saying she padded it, but Jack ignores her. "I need you to clamp under the liver so I can get a look back there," he says. Juliet makes as if to do so, but hesitates. Jack looks at her quizzically. "I'm not a surgeon," she says. "I know," says Jack. "But I need you to do this." We can see Danny, Zeke, and Ben watching from some sort of observation room. Jack medical-jargons about something behind the liver, which is why she missed it, and he needs "lap pads," as many as she's got. Danny watches anxiously. Jack's just getting to work when Colleen flatlines. He tells Juliet he needs the "crash cart." She doesn't move. "Juliet? I need paddles," he repeats, and she tells him they're broken. Jack takes this in, and Juliet tries to explain that they haven't had anything happen before, while Jack gets to work on the CPR. Everyone watches. Zeke covers his mouth. Jack counts to himself as he gives Colleen's chest quick pumps. You know, I don't think Jack sabotaged the rescue effort? But I do think he let go of the CPR sooner than he's let go of anything we've seen since the series started. Didn't he pound on Charlie's chest for a solid half-hour? No, that's right; it only felt like it was that long.
Danny's chin starts to quiver. Jack catches his breath. "Time of death," he says, looking around for a clock as he takes his gloves off. He doesn't find one. "She's gone," he says. In the observation room, an enraged Danny yells, "They did this!" in Ben's face, but it's muffled for us through the glass. "They did this"? Yeah, Sun shot Colleen when Colleen was part of an armed group boarding Sun's boat. I'm starting to get a little fed up with the "we're not the bad guys" routine that the Others keep falling back on. Danny stomps out of the room, ignoring Zeke's attempts to console him. Juliet gazes down at the lifeless Colleen.
