In the box-littered apartment, Sun stares blankly at the half-made bed. When she hears Jin come in, she grabs a pillow and pretends to be working. Wouldn't want your new husband thinking you were paying off blackmailers instead of cleaning house all day! Jin asks if she got the mail. She forgot, so he gets the mail key out of her purse. He finds the money instead. Sun is embarrassed to have a purse so large that $100,000 in cash gets lost in it. She says that the money was from her father. She wanted furniture and a nice honeymoon. Jin looks hurt and tells her that he will always take care of her. It will take a little longer, but he will. She says she knows. He says he doesn't want to be in debt to her father any more than they already are. He asks her to take the money back, and she agrees after they exchange "I love you"s. I feel the need to mention that my husband would never, ever, ever ask me to give back a hundred thousand dollars from my father so that he can provide for me. No, he would not.
Juliet shows Sun her baby. It is a grayish blob on the bottom of the screen. Sun asks if it's a boy or a girl blob. Juliet rolls her eyes and says that it's a little early to tell the sex since it is still in the gray blob stage of fetal development. The blob is apparently fluttering. That means the heartbeat is very strong and healthy. Sun and Juliet are both smiling while Juliet starts her calculations. She determines that they crashed here 90 days ago and the baby is about eight weeks old. Which means it was conceived on the Island. Sun starts crying. She covers her face while Juliet tries to comfort her by telling her she will do everything she can to save her. And the nine patients you killed? You weren't doing everything to save them? Sun takes her hand off her face, and through the tears she is smiling. The baby is Jin's. Okay, girls: listen up! Here is one good reason not to have an affair: Guilt. If you cheat on your husband, crash on a desert island, reconcile with your husband, find out that you are pregnant, determine that if it's your husband's baby it will kill you, and then find out that it is, and you are happy about the news, it is safe to assume the guilt must be a real bitch. Lesson learned!
Sun goes to meet her blackmailer. She hands the woman the envelope of cash. The woman grabs it, opens it, and stares inside. Sun puts her hand on the envelope and asks why the woman did not tell her she was Jin's mother. The woman says just because she gave birth to him does not make her his mother. Word! Sun relinquishes her hold on the money but not before threatening her. She looks the woman hard in the face and says, "You know how powerful my family is. Jin thinks you are dead. Don't force me to make it a reality." The woman pales as Sun walks off into the sunset, blowing the smoke off her blazin' guns. Aw, Sun, Sayid has nothing on you!
