Rest in peace, Shannon Rutherford??
At the start of this episode, Sayid has a surprise for Shannon, everyone's fave diva bitch. Seems he's built a sweet hut for her. She expresses her gratitude in the usual way. She discovers the gun Sayid's been carrying, and while it's tempting to make a dirty pun about that, I'll let the reader do that. After the inevitable lovemaking (amazing that they're the only ones on the island getting any), Shannon wants to go out and get some water, but gallant Sayid volunteers. I don't mind a bit, because it gave me a chance to see Sayid for a while longer with his shirt off, heh heh.
No sooner has Sayid left the hut, however, when Walt suddenly appears, dripping wet and saying something unintelligible. Shannon screams. Of course, he disappears when Sayid comes running, and since no one else saw Walt, Sayid tells Shannon she must have been dreaming. Of course this didn't go over well. Charlie comes to see what the noise was about, as does Claire with Turnip-head in tow. Then Charlie gets mad at Claire for waking the baby, and they have a tiff as well. Ah, those lover's quarrels.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, the "tailies" debate about whether to wait for Mr. Eko to return or just to take off to find the other survivors without him. He appears with Michael and Jin right as Sawyer is saying something rather unflattering about Michael. Eko mentions that he saw the "others", which stirs everyone up. They decide it is time to head out. Sawyer, whose gunshot wound from when he was on the raft was never treated, looks like hell but proceeds anyway.
Shannon gets it into her head that she needs to prove she saw Walt. She finds one of Walt's shirts, has his dog Vincent sniff it, and informs the dog to go find Walt. Vincent takes off into the woods, but instead of leading Shannon to Walt, he leads her to Boone's grave. Sayid catches up with her, but she is still angry that no one believes her, and she goes stumbling off into the woods again, dressed in a lace top with some gossamer shirt over it, a skirt that barely covers her butt and sandals. Yeah, that's what I wear on all my hikes.
Aaron, the amazing turnip-headed baby, exacts his revenge on Claire for waking him by refusing to go back to sleep. Locke notices Claire's distress and shows her how to swaddle the baby so it will be more comfortable. Naturally, the kid stops fussing at once. Claire mentions to Locke how Charlie is carrying around a statue of the Virgin Mary. Locke, who knows the statue is filled with bags of heroin, says nothing to Claire, but later makes a casual statement to Charlie about him being a heroin addict. Charlie snaps at him, saying, "Recovering!" Locke smiles his mysterious smile and doesn't dig any further.
The "tailies" trek along the coastline for awhile, but it becomes too rocky for them to make much progress. Eko decides they should head inland. Ana Lucia doesn't like this, but she's perpetually ticked anyway, so no surprise there. Apparently, if they go into the woods, they risk running into the "others", who have kidnapped 12 members of the tail section survivors. Ana Lucia says that the "others" are smart and that one bullet in one gun (the one she stole from Sawyer) isn't going to stop them. Sawyer collapses. Michael finally does something sensible for the first time this season and asks for help devising a makeshift stretcher to carry Sawyer. Ana Lucia protests that this will slow them all down, but no one else seems very willing to leave Sawyer behind. After hauling Sawyer over some very tough terrain, Cindy disappears. The rest of the party begins to panic when they hear whispers coming from every direction. Ana Lucia yells at them to run.
Sayid again catches up to Shannon, this time in the woods in the pouring rain. He begs her to go back, but she won't, saying he doesn't believe in her and that he'll just leave her like everyone else in her life has. He surprises her by not only saying he believes in her, but that he loves her and will never leave her. They embrace, but then they hear whispering all around them too. While looking for the source of the whispering, Sayid sees something off in the distance. It's Walt, gesturing to them to be quiet. Shannon, however, freaks out and goes running after the apparition. Sayid is a bit stunned by what he just saw, but then shakes it off and goes after Shannon. He trips over something....I'm not sure if it was natural or manmade. Before he can catch up, there is a gunshot! And here comes Shannon staggering toward him, bleeding from her gut. Sayid catches her in utter disbelief. Then we see an equally disbelieving Ana Lucia standing there with the gun in her hand! Jin and Michael are there too, looking utterly horrified. Sayid's face changes from shock to rage.
And of course, we're all dying to know what happens next, but next week, they go back to the beginning to tell the whole story of what happened to the "tailies". I do want to know more about Bernard....maybe they'll do a flashback about him and Rose? And Libby, who has revealed herself as a clinical psychologist, maybe we'll find out why she has trust issues? I will say it's gonna take a hell of a lot of convincing to make me like Ana Lucia, or the actress that portrays her.
So at this point, one, two or three people could be dead: Shannon, Cindy or Sawyer. I doubt they'll bump off Sawyer because then most of the women would stop watching, heh heh. Besides, I'm really hoping for a Kate/Sawyer reunion. And a Sun/Jin reunion, now that Jin has evolved into a decent human being. Probably the sweetest reunion, though, would be Bernard and Rose.
Um, is it Wednesday yet??
