Yeah, I was ready to write this episode off as lame until the last word was spoken! Then WOAH!
On the island, Locke has Ben imprisoned in his basement. Has Ben's face ever been not-bruised on this show? He's continually yellow and purple. Kate goes to see Miles to ask if they (and I guess the rest of the outside world) know about her and her fugitive status. Miles says he'll tell her if he can talk to Ben. So Kate and Sawyer distract Locke. Miles tells Ben he'll tell his employer that Ben is dead if he can get $3.2 million in cash in one week. Ben can apparently make this happen. Also, there was this whole "Kate might be pregnant" thing that I feel like I was dropped in the middle of. Did we already know she thought she was pregnant? That's what happens when the show goes off the air for so long. I forget stuff. Anyway, once Locke finds out Kate let Miles and Ben talk (and she tells him in all honesty what they said), he banishes her from his side of the island.
On the Jack side of the island, they call the freighter but the freighter knows nothing about the helicopter or the people in it - they thought the helicopter was still on the island. There is that weird time-lag thing, remember.
Oh yeah and Locke takes it out on Miles by stringing him up and pulling the pin on a grenade and shoving it in his mouth. Now he can't talk. I love me some Badass Locke!
In Kate's Flash Forward, she is on trial for her crimes. She has a son whom she doesn't want to be at the trial. Jack testifies on her behalf. He says, "Only 8 of us survived the crash" and that 2 of them died on the island. It's apparently the story they're telling the world. Interesting.
What court would allow the accused (Kate) to have a private conversation with the star witness against her (her mother)? Well, that's what happens and Mom wants to meet the son in exchange for not testifying. Kate says no, but in the end Mom doesn't testify due to an alleged medical emergency. Kate pleads down to time served and 10 years of probation saying she wants to get back to her son. I guess Mom was their only freaking evidence.
Jack still loves Kate blah blah. I hate them both so this is the point where I start to get irritated like, what was the f-ing point of this episode? Then Kate arrives home and picks up her son and calls him AARON!!!! OMG WTF! She's raising Claire's baby!!! This was good stuff!
Not so good: the apparent lack of my promised Iron Man trailer. Now it's supposed to be next week's episode. Those lying, hyping bastards!
