Upon re-entering the room where Sayid is being treated they discover their friend rummaging through the pockets of his latest victim, another would be assassin.

Kate is out to find who is trying to attain custody of Aaron

 Pulling up at a hotel the door answerer is a familiar face, that of Claire’s mother. After a brief meeting with the lawyer Jack convinces Kate to let him speak to her, after all he has met her before at his father’s funeral where he discovered that Claire was in fact his half sister. It becomes quickly obvious that Claire’s mother knows nothing of Aaron, expecting him to have perished along with her daughter on ill fated flight 815 and is only in town to collect her compensation cheque.

Convincing Kate to come with him Jack takes her to the rendevous location where Kate comes face to face with Ben who confides to her that it is in fact he who was trying to get custody of Aaron. He, along with the others must all return to the island otherwise certain peril faces those that they left behind. This includes Hurley who Ben has now spoken to the authorities about, dispelling truths that he murdered the man outside his mental home, and who will soon be released.

On the island Charlotte’s haemorrhaging is getting worse and though she’s up and about again things are looking pretty grim for her. Another time trip takes them back to several months after they arrived on the island and Sawyer, hearing voices, see’s Kate helping Claire give birth in the jungle, but before being able to say anything disappears again in another time jump. John realises that it all started with Ben at the orchid station and that they should make their way back there, something which is made slightly easier when they get back to the beach to find that the camp has returned and though their motorised boat isn’t there a canoe has replaced it. Trouble follows though as the owners of the canoe soon come following armed with guns, and though a lucky time trip saves them from the bullets it soon places them in the middle of a storm causing them to wash back on shore still far from the orchid station where both Juliette and Miles.

As other's start getting nosebleeds Charlotte's future looks pretty grim.

A body floats face down in the water and is soon pulled into a rubber dingy by a group of people speaking French. Turning the man over they are shocked to see a Korean man – Jin – and after arriving on the beach and realising that one of the French woman is pregnant it becomes obvious that she is Rousseau.

I’m not sure how shocked we’re supposed to be at this…after all, they are tripping back and forth through time so unless she says something completely startling then I’m not sure we’re in for a discovery here. However, I do want to see how on earth Ben convinces Sun to come with them, especially since she’s intend upon killing him.
