Jack, back in the present, examines Boone's leg. "It's a closed fracture. We're going to have to set it." Sun asks if he'll be able to sew the wound on Boone's chest. Jack has a look and says Boone's lost a lot of blood, and wonders how far Locke had to carry him. Jack takes a semi-conscious Boone's head in his hands. "You are not going to die," he says. "I am going to save you." Right here, we pretty much know Boone's toast. Commercials.
Claire's walking along the beach, by the raft-in-progress. Jin's working on it, and appears to be the only one, as Mercutio and Sawyer are taking a break by cooking some fish over the fire. Well, Mercutio's taking a break, since Sawyer (who offers "mamacita" Claire some fish) never does anything. This looks like the same racial division of labour that built Canada's railroad in the 19th century. Claire asks when the raft will be ready, and Mercutio says a week, maybe less. He asks if she's okay, and she says she's fine and she'll see them later. "She likes me," says Sawyer, smugly. Mercutio yells at Jin to take a break and have some fish, but Jin waves him off. "Man's got what I call an overzealous work ethic," says Sawyer, which for Sawyer I think is anybody who, you know, actually works, and Mercutio notes how badly Jin wants to get off the island, like this is what's supposed to be what's wrong with Jin? And since there wasn't time for this in the "previously on Lost" scenes, Sawyer reminds everyone that all this time Sun has known how to speak English and Jin had no idea. "I'm surprised he didn't try to swim out of here," says Sawyer, who is thankfully interrupted from expounding on his theories on women and work by Kate, who breathlessly tells him that she needs all his alcohol.
