Is there anything Kate wouldn't do? 

On last week's "Lost", the focus is on Kate for the first time this season. The episode starts, though, with Jin walking shirtless out of a tent (love those shirtless scenes!). Sun follows and puts her arms around him. From the contented looks on their faces, you know what they've been up to. Jin sees Hurley at the next tent, and Hurley gives him a thumbs up. Then Sun looks off into the distance and sees Sayid, digging Shannon's grave. Why didn't anyone volunteer to help him out? Maybe he wanted to do it by himself?

Jack is in the hatch with Sawyer, who is delirious. Jack tells Sawyer that Kate had sat with him for 24 hours straight, so he sent her out to find some fruit. Sawyer mutters, "I love her". Jack assumes he means Kate and looks a bit dejected.

Kate despite her exhaustion has climbed a tree in search of fruit. She finds it but nearly falls off the tree. Once down, she turns and sees a gorgeous black stallion in the woods! This vision does not please her; rather, it freaks her out.

Kate brings the fruit back to the hatch. Jack senses she's upset about something, but she won't admit to it. There is going to be a funeral for Shannon, and someone needs to stay behind with Sawyer. Kate talks Jack into going, which he reluctantly does as funerals really aren't his thing.

Eko finds Ana Lucia hammering away at something on the beach. He informs her that he is going to go to the funeral. Ana Lucia with a grim smile indicates she has no intention of attending. Eko says that everyone knows what she did was an accident, but she won't budge.

Most of the survivors gather around the grave that has been dug for Shannon, which is next to the grave that contains her brother. Sayid attempts to say a few words about his relationship with Shannon, but he is too grief-stricken to say much other than that he loved her. He finally has to walk away. As everyone is standing there feeling awkward, Jack sprinkles some dirt into the grave and places a stone at the edge, and then the rest follow suit.

In the hatch, Kate is mashing up some fruit to feed to Sawyer. He starts mumbling something, and she leans closer to listen. Suddenly, Sawyer opens his eyes, sees Kate, grabs her by the throat and snarls, "Why did you kill me?" Ack!

Jack and Locke head back to the hatch after the funeral to find the alarm going off, Sawyer face down on the floor, and Kate nowhere to be seen. Locke enters the numbers just in time. After Jack ensures that Sawyer is ok, he sets off to find Kate. Charlie had just seen her and tried to have a conversation, but she was practically hysterical. Jack tracks her down and demands to know what happened. Kate will only say she's sorry, which Jack doesn't buy. She shrieks at him that she's sorry she'll never be a good person like him. She begins to cry, and Jack holds her. Then she begins to kiss him. Jack is surprised by this but doesn't pull away. It's Kate who pulls away with a vaguely horrified expression and runs off.

Michael and Eko are in the hatch with Locke. Michael is poking around and discovers blast doors. He asks Locke if he knows anything about them. Locke says no but asks Michael if he would like to watch the film about the hatch. Michael agrees, and Eko speaks up and says he'd like to look at it too. Locke says sure, the more the merrier.

Sayid finds Kate sitting at Shannon's grave. Kate apologizes for not being at the funeral, explaining that she needed to be with Sawyer. Sayid asks why she isn't there now. Kate says it's because she's going crazy and asks him if he believes in ghosts. Sayid replies that right before Shannon was shot, he saw Walt in the jungle. He asks if that makes him crazy.

Locke, Michael and Eko watch the film. Locke asks the others what they think of it. Michael seems puzzled by it wanting to know that has been edited out of it, and Eko says nothing at all.

Hurley finds Jack chopping wood like a madman. He tries making conversation, saying, "Rose's husband is white. Didn't see that coming." He asks if Jack is mad about something, which of course Jack denies. Hurley points out that Sawyer used to chop wood, and says it looks like what Jack is doing is transferrence, a term he learned at a mental institution.

Eko tells Locke he has something that would probably interest him. He begins by telling Locke the Old Testament story about how the temple got rebuilt after the holy book was found. Then he pulls out the Bible from the other hatch and tells Locke to take a look. Locke begins to flip through it and then discovers that it's hollow. Concealed in the middle of the Bible is a bit of film. Locke holds it up to the light and sees to his surprise sees what appear to be the missing frames excised from the film they had just watched. He splices this back into the film, marveling at how amazing it is that Eko happened to find the missing piece. Eko says, "Don't mistake coincidence for fate."

Kate returns to the hatch to find Sun taking care of Sawyer. She stands uncertainly in the doorway until Sun asks if she would mind taking over (no doubt she wants to get back to Jin!). Kate hesitates, then accepts. She sits down next to Sawyer and begins talking to him about how the ghost of her father seemed to be in him. Seems she killed her abusive dad and was caught by the authorities but escaped when the car she was riding in swerved to avoid a black stallion and hit a tree. Kate addresses Sawyer by her dad's name, Wayne, and explains that she killed him because she hated that she would never be a good person being his daughter. She adds that every time she sees Sawyer, he reminds her of Wayne. At this point, Sawyer wakes up and asks who the hell Wayne is. He sees that he's in a bunk bed and decides that he's been rescued and doesn't believe Kate when she says otherwise.

Ana Lucia is surprised to see Jack coming toward her bearing airline bottles of alcohol. He decides it's time to have that drink he'd promised her before they got on the plane. She wants to know if he's going to try to convince her that everybody doesn't hate her. He wants to know if she'll try to convince him that not all women are crazy.

Kate somehow manages to get Sawyer on his feet and tries giving him a tour of the hatch. He insists that it still looks to him like they've been rescued, so she takes him outside. Sawyer then looks around at the familiar jungle and realizes Kate was telling the truth, uttering the classic, "Son of a bitch". He begins to say something else, but then sees something behind Kate and mutters, "Maybe you'd better take me back inside". Kate turns around and looks at the black stallion that has re-appeared. She Sawyer if he can see it. Sawyer replies, "You mean the big ass horse in the jungle?" Kate walks up to it and touches it, hardly believing it is real. She is able to pat the horse on the head before he walks back into the jungle.

Eko and Locke watch the film with the lost footage back in place. Basically, it warns not to use the computer to communicate with the outside world as this could cause another "incident". Locke and Eko look at each other like what the hell does that mean? Michael is fiddling around with the computer wiring in the other room while this is playing. At one point, the countdown clock seems to freeze, and a beeping sound starts coming from the monitor. Michael looks at the screen and sees that someone has typed "Hello". Amused, he types "Hello" in reply. Then it says: "who is this?" Michael responds with: "This is Michael. Who is this?" The next thing that comes on the screen is: "Dad?" Then cut to black after a glimpse of Michael's shocked face.

Ack! Won't get to find out what happens next until JANUARY! Gotta give these guys credit: they sure do know how to prolong suspense.
