Some unrecognizable Losties carry part of the airplane wreckage towards the beach. Oh my god, it is Rose and Bernard. They're alive! And arguing about knot-tying! Bernard is instructing Rose that she is making a sailor's hitch when she should be making a sheep's hitch like his. Rose rolls her eyes, "So you're a knot expert now?" She then reaches for his knot and unties it in a millisecond, crushing his ego as collateral damage. She then adds insult to injury by revealing that her knot is holding tight. That's some marriage, guys! Too bad Libby died before she got you two on the couch for some couples counseling. Bernard asks her how she did that and she smiles, "Watch and learn." Speaking of couples counseling, Sun is busily tearing apart wires when Jin turns to her and asks when she is going to tell him. Sun stops what she is doing and looks worried. Jin says that he heard Juliet say their name on the tape and he saw everyone turn to stare at her. So when is she going to tell him they said? Seriously, the man has patience. I would have been jumping up and down and pestering her like a begging Chihuahua until I got answers. Jin asks if it has something to do with the pregnancy. Sun says that she saw their baby. Jin looks concerned, but she tells him that Juliet took her to a medical station and gave her an ultrasound and the baby is healthy. He envelopes her in a huge hug fest.
Hurley is puttering around the tents when he notices a small boat landing on the beach. He sends up the alarm and Sayid leads the team in pursuit of the intruder. As the boater gets out of his outrigger, Sayid tackles him to the ground. Sawyer is right after him and yells at Sayid to get off. Sawyer knows this guy because he was in the cage next to him. Sawyer pulls Carl upright and asks him what he's doing there. Carl yells, "They're coming! My people! They're coming!" Sawyer gracefully refrains from Paul Revere references and apologizes that Carl came all that way to tell them what they already knew. Carl doesn't believe it, "if you know, what are you all still doing here?" Sawyer tries to call him down, "When they come tomorrow, we will be ready for them." Carl stares at them in horror, "No! They are coming tonight!" No one reacts (probably because they couldn't hear him over the Very Dramatic Music) so Carl screams, "They are coming right now!" Geez, kid, no need to shout.
