Sawyer and Kate got it on; Jack vacillated between operating or not operating on the evil that is Ben; and Sayid, John, and Kate/Sawyer-lite bury Mr. Eko.
We also flash back to Kate, or her alias "Monica," where she seems genuinely happy with the her fiance and soon-to-be husband, played by Nathan Fillion...also known as the captain on Firefly, a show that met its end before it should have. Anyway, she gets the itch to run again, as she is still a fugitive in this particular flashback. So, she drugs her hubby (also a cop) to keep him from following her and knowing anything about where she might be going next. Guess that has something to do with the present story of the near death of Sawyer, and her choosing to "be" with him in the Biblical sense? Sometimes, the meaning of the flashbacks is lost on me...no pun intended.
Now, Jack did operate on evil-Ben, but only after someone let him out of his cage, only to see Kate and Sawyer in post-sex cuddle mode on one of evil-Ben's cameras. The Others had brought Kate in to try to convince Jack to operate on evil-Ben, lest they kill Sawyer. That wasn't enough to convince him...but seeing her in Sawyer's arms was? Okay...
Anyway, the operation goes along fine, but then Jack thinks quickly on his feet (or had this in mind all along, not sure which) does something to evil-Ben that will cause him to bleed to death in an hour (still not entirely sure what, but it sounds bad). He demands to speak to the dude who's gone out to kill Sawyer, despite him agreeing to do the operation. What Jack wants, Jack gets...and he tells the dude that if they don't let Sawyer and Kate go (Sawyer is now being held at gunpoint), that he'll let evil-Ben die. Wanna know what the result of that is?
Well, too bad! It's the cliffhanger for the 13-week hiatus ABC is putting us through to introduce a new show, which I will NOT be watching in protest of them pulling a stunt like this, despite the "sneak peeks" of the Lost episodes they'll be airing during this new show. Whoever thought up this idea should be fired, because I have the idea a lot of people feel the same way I do, jerked around. Bad enough the show puts out ten questions for every one it answers...now they're going to do this. Silly network execs...
