Sawyer, Hurley and Ben run to Jack and Kate, who fill them in on Faucke's possibly timely demise. Kate pronounces it "over" but you know -- there's still an hour left (holy crap). Sawyer peers over the edge of the cliff to see Faucke's twisted corpse for himself. When the earth moves, but not in a cage sex way, the gang is tossed hither and thither. Sawyer: "Sure don't feel like it's over."
Sideways; Sun's Hospital Room: Sun's up and all dressed in street clothes. She and Jin are just about ready to leave when they're visited by Detective James Ford. Jin smiles at him like a fangirl and nods approvingly at the badge -- tickled pink that the bitter con man he once knew, who he watched take over the Dharma Initiative's Security Force, has chosen well in this plane of existence. James is undone by grinning Jin, so he whips out Sayid's mugshot and explains he escaped. A uniformed officer will be assigned to keep them safe. Sun tells him he doesn't have to do that. "It's okay. I am safe." They leave Ford behind as they walk out. Jin beams at Ford, over his shoulder. "We'll see you there." When the door closes, James cries out in frustration: "See me where?"
Islandways; Hydra; Ajira 316: Because Miles has two summers' worth of experience renovating apartments, Frank deems him able to fix an airplane's faulty hydraulics with just a page of schematics, a flashlight and some duct tape. Richard goes with him and the whole thing is so absurd I don't even have to make a joke here. Frank is doing whatever else when Ben calls on the walkie. "Frank, how's it going over there? What's your timetable?" Frank yells, "Don't bother me," and throws the walkie down on the co-pilot's seat. Great, Frank. Where's God supposed to sit?Main Island; Jacob's Cliff: Ben deadpans: "Sounds like they're making progress." Another tremor knocks our Jack-o-bites down but not out. While Sawyer insists they leave now, Kate fills in for the audience. "I don't understand; Locke's dead. Why is this still happening?" Jack: "Because whatever Desmond turned off -- I need to turn it back on, again. But if it doesn't work -- if I don't get it done -- you all need to leave now. You need to be on that plane." Oh Jack, couldn't you let Ben do that part? Kate's with me. Well, she doesn't mention Ben by name, but still.... She tells Jack to come with them; he doesn't have to seduce turn on the island. Jack says he must. Kate crouches down in front of him. "Let the island sink, Jack." Jack shakes his head. "I can't." Kate walks off a little, to regroup. If a wet t-shirt can't convince him, what can? Meanwhile, Sawyer tells Jack he can pilot the Elizabeth across the channel to Hydra in time. Jack rises and walks to him, bloody hand held out. Sawyer grasps it firmly; they shake. "Good luck to you, James." I lived with Kate once, and believe you me, I'm still making it up to my liver. Sawyer: "Thanks, Doc. For everything." They make out...with their eyes. Ben interrupts their moment and tosses his walkie to Sawyer with a shrug. "If the Island's going down, I'm going down with it." Meanwhile, Jack calls Hurley Hugo because he's noticed how careful I've been to call him Hurley on the Island and Hugo in the Sideways, and he likes to mess with me. He tells him he'd better get going, but Hurley refuses. He's not climbing down that cliff -- no way. "I'm with you, dude." Jack chortles. "Okay."
