At long last, the "Lost" reunion!
Last week on "Lost", we picked up at the point where Ana Lucia shot Shannon. Sayid, who caught Shannon as she died, realizes what has happened, puts Shannon down and heads for Ana Lucia, drawing his own gun. Ana Lucia's gun (actually the one she stole from Sawyer), however, is now empty, so she can't shoot back. Eko stops Sayid before he can fire, and the two get into an impressive mud wrestling match. Sayid actually does fairly well considering that Eko is roughly the size of Mt. Everest. But the gun gets away from him, and Ana Lucia, true to form, grabs the weapon and smacks Sayid in the head and knocks him out.
Michael, Jin, Bernard and Libby are watching all this in amazement. But when Ana Lucia begins brandishing Sayid's gun, Michael steps forward in protest. Ana Lucia responds by shooting right over his head! She orders Eko to tie Sayid up. Eko refuses, and she acts like she'll shoot at him too, but Eko won't be swayed. Libby, however, is coerced by Ana Lucia into tying Sayid to a tree using rope from the stretcher Sawyer is on. Sawyer was right several episodes ago when he called her a bitch.
Michael gets up to give Sayid some water, and Ana Lucia threatens him again. But this time, enboldened by Eko standing up to her, he tells her to go ahead and shoot him, which she does not. Then Eko picks up Sawyer, who is unconscious, and slings him over his shoulder like a rifle. Ana Lucia pleads with him not to leave, but he insists on getting Sawyer back to his camp. He says, "I'm doing it for me".
At the fuselage survivor's camp, Jack challenges Kate to some golf. She kicks his butt, which is rather amusing. Jack ends up chasing his ball into the woods and is about to take a swing when he notices Kate has a horrified expression and looking past him. He turns just in time to see Eko carrying Sawyer. He asks where the doctor is.
Jack takes Sawyer into the hatch because it contains a shower and Sawyer needs to be immersed in cold water to break his fever. Kate asks what she can do. Jack instructs her to get antibiotics and to get the bed in the hatch ready. She doesn't move at first, so shocked is she by Sawyer's condition, but Jack manages to get through to her.
Eko begins to check out the hatch. Locke, a bit cautiously, greets him. Eko also chooses his words carefully, particularly after noting the rifles on the wall of the hatch. Locke wants to know what happened. Eko states that there was an accident and that a tall blonde girl was killed. Locke figures out that it is Shannon, and he has a pained expression. Locke wants to know where everyone else is and whether Eko can take him to them. Eko, glancing at the rifles, says no.
Kate helps Jack care for Sawyer by propping him up in her arms and convincing him to take some antibiotics. She seems an unlikely nurse, but she cradles him like a lover and tells him that he's going to get better.
Michael, Jin, Libby and Bernard are upset that Ana Lucia is keeping them all at gunpoint, but no one is able to dissuade her from untying Sayid and ending the standoff. Bernard pleads with her, saying that all he wants to do is see his wife. She won't budge, however. Libby wants to know what her plan is. Sayid responds that Ana Lucia has no plan. He says, "All she has is a gun and her guilt". She then decides that if Michael will get her ammo and supplies from the fuselage camp, she will untie Sayid. Michael is reluctant to leave Sayid where he is, but Jin indicates he will keep an eye on things, and he makes for the camp. The first person he runs into is Sun, who of course is quite shocked. She leads him to the hatch. Jack, who now knows that Shannon is dead, wants Michael to lead him back to the camp. He grabs one of the rifles and gives one to Michael. Eko tells Jack that Ana Lucia made a mistake. Jack is startled when he hears the name because he remembers Ana Lucia. He puts down the rifle.
Meanwhile, Bernard has had enough of the standoff. He gathers up his gear, and, with apologies to Ana Lucia, announces he is leaving. Libby follows suit. Ana Lucia tells Jin to go ahead and leave also. So it is just Ana Lucia and Sayid. She toys with the gun as if she can't decide whether to shoot Sayid or herself. She begins conversing with Sayid. He tells her that he had tortured many people in the past and that maybe she should shoot him, that maybe she was meant to. She reveals that she was a cop who was shot by a burglar. She says that she thought she was dead that day, and that she still feels dead. Then she releases Sayid, tossing the gun at his feet. He picks the gun up, and for a moment I hoped he would shoot her, but he does not. Instead, he goes to Shannon's body.
Michael heads to the beach, where he sees his son's dog, Vincent. The dog is overjoyed to see Michael and runs over to him. It's sort of a bittersweet meeting since the dog has now lost two owners. Bernard, Libby and Jin show up on a different section of beach together at the fuselage survivors' camp. Charlie recognizes Jin and comes over to greet him. Then Bernard and Rose see each other for the first time since the crash. Beautiful moment as they hug and kiss. Sun, who is doing laundry on the beach, looks to see what the commotion is about and spies Jin in the distance. Since she and her husband had their differences before Jin left, Sun is unsure how to react at first, but Jin comes running toward her, and she jumps into his arms.
Jack goes out to where Ana Lucia remains, minus any weapons. On the way there, Sayid passes him going the other direction, carrying Shannon and looking absolutely devastated. Then Jack sees Ana Lucia; neither say a word, but simply stare at each other from a distance.
This was my favorite episode of the season because of the long-awaited reunions. I still don't like Ana Lucia's way of dealing with the world, but now I understand her a little better. Tomorrow's episode is supposed to finally reveal what Kate originally did to get in trouble with the law. Yayyyyy!
