Time Travel's a Bitch

Ep. III

We open back on Penny’s boat during the rescue with Jack and Kate discussing Aaron.

We discover that it was Kate’s idea to say Aaron was hers.

Jack on the lie, “I need to know you are with me.”
Kate, “I’ve always been with you.” …. Awwww how sweet.
I want to believe you Kate, but what about when you were humping Sawyer? Were you secretly wishing it was Jack?

Anyway…

Sun receives files with pics of Jack and Ben and a nice box of chocolates, what’s inside? Mmmm a Glock, they’re the tastiest of all.

Meanwhile back on the skipping Island we see Charlotte still unconscious from her seizure and Sawyer is beginning to freak out more than usual while Juliette keeps her even keel. There is definitely something behind her calm ‘tude. Like she knows something, even though she keeps asking Faraday to explain what’s going on.

Kate goes to the lawyer’s office to find out who wants Aaron and comes to find out that, “She will lose the boy.”

Back on the Island Locke says that they need to go back to the Orchid to try and make the time skipping stop. He tells Sawyer that he thinks he can do it even if it kills him, telling Sawyer, “Don’t you want her to come back?” Sawyer definitely has a soft spot for Kate and everybody knows it.

Charlotte wakes up from the seizure and at first doesn’t recognize Faraday.
Miles, “Hooray everything’s back to normal.”

Back at the hospital in LA Jack and Sayid discuss Hurley and Ben.
Sayid, “The only side Ben is on is his own.” Why won’t anyone listen to Sayid? He’s the one guy who has military training and has a clue about human behavior.

Gotta love the shot of Hurley in LA County Orange. “No one can hurt me in here.” Oh yeah? We’ll see about that. I can’t wait for the prison brawl.

Uh-oh Sayid is at it again. He beats the crap out of the fake orderly, shooting him before he even answers, I love it!

Ben tells Jack to hurry getting Kate because, “We’re running out of time.” Methinks that if they don't fix this mess soon, time will run out... literally and everything will implode.

Back on the Island the Losties comes across a mysterious beam of light.

Faraday, “Do you know when we are?” Locke is still the master of keeping info to himself that is actually critical to everyone. Why at this point are they all still lying to each other?! For Christ's sake shouldn't they be trying everything in their power to fix their sitch? Why wouldn't they all tell the group everything they know. I mean for crying out loud, Faraday is still not honest with everyone about what's going on.

We here blood curdling screaming coming from the forest. Sawyer goes to investigate and discovers Kate and Claire when she was delivering Aaron.

Calling Doctor Brown, Dr. Emmet Brown please come to the Island right away. These guys need to hear that, “If you alter the past you will mess up the space time continuum” speech he gave Marty.

Another Flash and Kate and Claire are gone. Wait a minute, why wouldn’t the girls see that Flash too? It’s as if Sawyer was looking into a window into the past from another dimension. And while he could’ve interacted with them if he wanted, he thought better of it, “What’s done is done.”

Back in LA, Kate follows the lawyer to discover who his client is that wants Aaron.

On the Island Sawyer asks Locke if he wants to fix things so he can avoid all that pain. To which Locke responds, “I needed that pain to get where I am now.” Much like the pain Jesus felt on the way to becoming the Messiah?

The Losties discover their camp and the first thing Sawyer looks for is beer. Is this guy all-American or what? They find mysterious rafts with bottled water from an Air India plane. On who might’ve brought the rafts, Sawyer says, “Other others?”

As they paddle out to the other part of the Island they are shot upon by mysterious ocean others. On not knowing what’s going on Sawyer says, “Time travel’s a bitch.”

Miles on the barrage of bullets, “I think they want their boat back.”

After another Flash saves them from the hail of gunfire, Sawyer says, “Thank you Lord!” then upon being sent into pouring rain, “I take that back!”

Jack and Kate discover that the lawyer is meeting with Claire’s mom, who they now assume is the one after Aaron. Kate begins to squirm about the situation to which Jack says, “I can fix it. Aaron is my family too.” Oh Jack is there anything you can’t fix?

We discover that in fact Claire’s mom is not after Aaron at all and doesn’t even know he exists.

We see the lawyer is working for Ben, hmmm what could that mean?...

Back on the Island Juliette’s nose bleeds after she tries to get Sawyer to open up abut how he felt seeing Kate. Too bad no one brought Kleenex to the island.

We see a group of Frenchies on a raft in the water… could this be Rousseau in the past?

They pull a guy off a plank floating and it’s… JIN! Hooray he survived the explosion on the freighter… but wait, he survived the explosion but was sent to the distant past, hmmm.

Back in LA the O6 minus Hurley convene and Kate discovers that Ben is the one after Aaron. Kate, “Why won’t you leave us alone? He’s my baby.” Ben, “Because he’s not your baby Kate.”

Sun lies in wait in the car, pulls out her Glock and presumably will go shoot Ben.

Back on the Island somewhere in the past we see Jin realize that he is with Rousseau, wow he must really be confused. He’s the only one who hasn’t been a part of all the time travel explanations because he’s been passed out on a raft.

So Sun is about to kill Ben because she blames him for killing Jin and she doesn’t know that Jin is actually alive, living as a blacksmith in the old west… oh wait a minute that’s not right.

Can Marty please roll up in the Dolorean already and fix this mess?

Until next time…


ed. note - This episode wasn't particularly exciting despite another Sayid fight and a great shot of Hurley in the orange jumpsuit. We discover that Jin is alive, which is great, but he's stuck in the past for now and his wife might just about be on the verge of committing murder in vain. Ben is up to his old tricks and Sawyer is pining for Kate. Locke wants to go turn the wheel and Juliette, well she just keeps on keepin' on.
