S.O.S.

Let's talk about LOST! S.O.S.




{Click the pics!}


Rose is organizing the beach food pantry on the beach. {I guess the one in the hatch is off limits now!} Bernard seems bothered by the food and the situation. He questions if she’s even remotely curious where all this came from.
Rose was raised to "Never question her blessings."
Bernard was raised to question "food with weird labels that just fall out of the sky".
Rose feels he is having a bad day.  Bernard complains that he’s had seven weeks of bad days on the other side of the island, just trying to stay alive; so I can get back to her. "But here, my god Rose, they've built a kitchen on the beach. They've given up."
Rose nonchalantly asks- "Given up? On what?"
Bernard-"On getting rescued."

The beeping of the countdown clock is heard.


Two minutes on the beeping clock.
John is at the computer drawing on 'foil' tray/wrapper from Apollo Bars. {How many Apollo bars has John eaten? Crutches lean against the desk.} He closes his eyes, trying to use his minds "eye" to remember and sketch out the blast door map.
Frustrated John is so engrossed in this, that the alarm had to have been beeping for two minutes already, and he hasn't heard it! {The alarm starts a 4 minutes.}
At the 1 minute warning, Jack asks "Are you gonna get that?" making Locke snap out of it.
John enters the code, resetting the timer. He looks up at the timer and gives it a pissed off look as if he's annoyed by it.


Jack asks Ana when the last time was she went in to see “him”.
Ana, who is reading a book with maps, tells Jack she went in to see Henry a couple of hours ago; he was sleeping. It's been two days since Henry spoke, ate or drank anything.
Jack is tired of waiting. He opens the armory door.
Fake Henry appears to “turn on/come to attention” and sits up.
It is obvious he doesn’t want to talk.  Jack is going to change his dressing and if he tries anything then, “We’ve got a problem”.

Ana Lucia stands guard. {Just look at her face!} They still call their prisoner Henry.
Jack reminds Fake Henry of the conversation they had before they found out who he was.
Jack- "You were saying if you were one of them, that you'd lead us into a trap. Capture our people, force a trade. Us for you. It’s a pretty good idea, Henry. And since you are one of them, I thought now’d be a good time to use it."
Jack is going out to the line that they're not supposed to cross and telling them that they've got him. And if they want him back, it's gonna cost them. And when they get Walt back, he might just have been worth all the trouble.
Fake Henry speaks! "They'll never give you Walt."

A car is stuck in the snow. The tire just spins unable to move forward.  
New York. {Wow! I remember snow in N.Y.!}
A man/Bernard offers to help the driver/Rose. He advices her not to gun it; "You have to rock it out". She's been driving in snow her whole life; she'll manage, yet she continues to gun it and just spin her “wheels”.
Rose wants to call triple A. {The song These Arms of Mine plays.} He asks her to trust him, he can do this. He pushes her car from behind; instructs her to ease on the gas. {Plate number BNQ 1925} The stuck car moves forward and Bernard falls.   Rose gets out and tells him she would have gotten it out eventually.
Bernard- "Oh sure, July's right around the corner."
They share a laugh and she thanks him for the help. They introduce themselves. As Bernard is about to get in his car Rose offers to buy him a cup of coffee. Bernard jumps at the offer!
{Flash Whoosh}
Watch Bernard walk across the beach!
Rose talks to Hurley about Dharmalars. She had to beat back half the group; she saved them for him. But Hurley is on the fish and water diet.
Bernard marches right up to Hurley and asks what he’s doing right now.
Hurley-“Uh talking to your wife.” {Does Bernard not see her right there?!}
Bernie asks if Hurley can get Libby and meet him at the edge of the tree line in five minutes. He also wants Hurley to round up Jin and Sun, Jenkins and Neil Frogurt the frozen yogurt guy and Craig and anyone else he can get. Bernard has an idea!

In the hatch Ana tells Jack that she’s not so sure trading people is their thing.
Jack feels that talking to Henry is getting them nowhere, so maybe they can get something for him. She asks him if he wants her to go with him.
We see Locke still sitting at the computer.
Jack grabs two snack bars from the pantry.
Ana advises him not to go out there alone. {They still get to use the pantry!}
Jack looks over at Locke and tells Ana that she "needs to stay here."
Ana gives him the gun.
She tells Jack "You need it more than I do." {Because she's not friggin afraid of Henry!!!}
Jack takes her gun. Ana again advises him not to go out there alone.

At the beach Kate and Sawyer are gathering up...{It fucking better NOT be oysters! Jin said in 'THE WHOLE TRUTH' that there weren't ANY oysters there!!! I'm gonna friggin freak!!!}
Kate has gathered four of these "not" oysters. Hehehe.
Sawyer is amused to note Dr. Giggles walking over.
Jack tells Kate that he's "going back out to the jungle and talk to their friend with the beard. See if we can make a trade".
Sawyer-“Ah. The ol prisoner exchange. And you're inviting me along cause you want a gun?"
Only Jack's not inviting Sawyer, he's inviting Kate, and he's already got a gun. Sawyer wonders how Jack got a gun. Kate goes along with Jack.

Bernard is spearheading a pep talk to a bunch of people that have been recruited for the project.
They've been on the Island two months. Bernard shares his amazement about the Castaway's all becoming comfortable with life on the Island. He asks them if they’ve “forgotten they “crashed on this Island. It's like none of you want to go home again."

Claire proclaims they do want to go home.  Bernard wonders  then why  aren’t they doing anything about it. Hurley mentions the building of the raft; that counts, even though it got blown up. Bernard reminds them the pallet of food had a parachute. "Which means a plane dropped it here. Which means there are other planes that fly over the Island."
He wants to make a MASSIVE SIGN for planes and satellites to see.
Rose-"Maybe you should speak to Jack about this first?"
Bernard- "Do we have to run everything by Jack? I mean he's not the president, he's a doctor". {President Jack? Hmmm.}
Rose- "You're a dentist."
The group giggles. Rose has embarrassed him. {You can see how annoyed Rose is by this attempt at rescue}
Privately Bernard tells Rose, "It's just a sign. I don't see what the harm is?"
Rose is bothered by him telling people about airplanes and satellites coming out of nowhere to save the day. Bernard is just trying to do something, “I wanna get back to our life.”
Rose - "The only thing you're doing is giving these people false hope!" {Bernard seems hurt}
Bernard- "Excuse me. I have a SIGN to build."

Rose and Bernard are having a meal at a Niagara Falls restaurant. They have the perfect window seat with spectacular view.   Rose is impressed by the beautiful amazing falls, Bernard is not.   She asks him "What does God have to go to get your attention?"
He is distracted. He calls over two violin players to play while he kneels down and proposes to Rose.   Bernard has been a bachelor for 56 years.
Bernard- "We fell into this rhythm, like we had known each other forever. I'd always dreamed of finding somebody like you, but I had given up hope that I ever would."
He knows it's crazy; they met five months ago. Five months is long enough because he knew after five minutes. He presents her with box; an engagement ring.  Bernard loves her. He asks her to marry him.
Rose reveals she's sick and she's dying; she has cancer.  She was in remission for the last couple of years, now its back; this time it's not going away. She has about a year, maybe a little longer.
Bernard looks stunned, yet only wants the answer to his question.
Rose says yes.
{Flash Whoosh}
Eko and Charlie are moving logs for their construction project.   Bernard marches up, {Charlie must be quite the craftsmen. He's helping Eko, and he was helping Sayid with building projects. Wow! What a guy} and tells Eko "You bunk with a guy for 48 days, and now he doesn't call or write."
Bernard explains that he has a whole team of folks throwing together a big sign...” and he could use all the bodies  he can get to help put it together. {YEP AGAIN!}
Eko, who is obviously focused on his task, says he is busy.    Charlie only has two hands, so he can't help, but he wishes Bernie good luck.   Eko won't share any of his logs.   Charlie reveals they are building a church. {It sounds like they consider the Island home to me.}
Bernard is very frustrated. "Everybody on this Island is building something! I'm trying to get us saved." {Everybody is building something! Does Bernard know of more building happening on the island? Hmmm.}
Eko tells him that people are saved in different ways.    Bernard liked Eko better when he just hit people with his stick. {How many times has Bernard witnessed that?} Eko and Charlie don't miss a beat and continue to build.


A record is playing a lovely Island tune in the hatch. Locke is still sitting at the computer working on his drawing. He is very frustrated and his leg seems to bother him.
Ana is on the floor working on something/pulley with ratchets/tools. {I don't know what she's doing, but it looks like a pulley. That and the ratchet sound could be considered similar to one of the sounds related to the monster}

Locke wants to talk to "him".
Ana tells Locke that Jack has the gun, the door stays closed. She encourages Locke to talk to him through the door. Locke hobbles over to the armory on his crutches {one shoe on, one off. Watch Ana while he talks to Henry.}
Locke- "Henry can you hear me? It's John, Henry… Henry did you enter the numbers? Did you push the button or not? Henry, I need to know! I need you to answer me. Answer me!!!"
Fake Henry sits there grinning. {He has started something BIG!}




Back at the beach, Bernard is losing his recruits; he’s down to eight. They have been lugging those big black rocks.
Bernard, who is undeterred, says, "Moving on."
He instructs the rest on what he wants done. The letters have to be really big; 40 feet. The black rocks will get maximum contrast with the sand. They have to retrieve the rocks from the lava field that’s a half of mile inland.    He wants them to get the rocks in two man teams. Bernie will sketch the letters in the sand.
Hurley offers to sketch the letters, but Bernard reminds him that 'Everybody's got a job Hurley, I do my job, you do yours" {Yep! Jobs done in a distinct manor.}
Jin says something in Korean. Hurley somewhat interprets that Jin's not happy about carrying the rocks. {How did Jin know that's what Bernard's instruction was?}
Bernard tells Jin "ROME wasn't built in a day you know."
Let’s get started.
{Flash Whoosh}
Rose and Bernard are driving through the Outback.
Rose –“We’re lost.
Bernard- "You saying we're lost, doesn't make us lost, sweetheart. I know exactly where we are."
So does Rose, “Driving around in circles in the middle of the outback.”
That’s why she wanted to be on a beach for their Honeymoon. {Down under, the steering wheel is on the right side not the left.}
When they arrive at a farm/civilization Rose is heard saying-“Bernard must get directions.”
Bernard-"I don't need directions. I told you honey, we're not lost.
He explains why he brought her there.  He wants her to see Isaac of Uluru, the faith healer who's helped hundreds of people.  Bernard insists he's legit; the real deal.  Bernard received three separate calls recommending him after informing people of Rose’s situation.     Bernard donated $10,000 to get Rose in. {Bernard in Plaid. License plate- MRL-724}
Rose gets upset that this is why Bernard brought her to Australia; to bring her to this kook. "I didn't ask for this!"
Rose has made her peace with what's happening to her but Bernard hasn't.  He can't just do nothing! That’s not who he is. He asks her to try, for him.




At the beach Bernard is still trying to recruit folks to help him. He asks Sawyer for help but his answer is no.   Rose is filling up water bottles and heard him asking for help.
Bernard started with 15 people, now he's down to four. He expected her support.

 Rose suggests people may be quitting because "Maybe you got yourself a management problem." {Is that like a Locke problem?!}
Bernard is pissed at her not wanting to help get them rescued.
Rose wonders why can't Bernard just let things be.
Bernard- "If I didn't always have to do something, you wouldn't be here.”
Rose walks away. {Oh really!}

In the jungle, Jack and Karen, I mean Kate is on their trek.    Jack admits to asking Sayid to come with him first, but he turned him down.    Jack asked Kate, because they don't want her.   They don't want him either.  Damaged goods, both of them! {Maybe Jack knows they don't want Sayid either.}
Kate reaches down to pick up a doll that is missing an eye. It's a trap! Jack tries to stop her but it's too late; they’re both hanging together in a net from the tree.
Jack feels it's not one of “Theirs”.
Kate- “Not sophisticated enough. Must be one of Rousseau's traps. Hopefully she’s not far from here.”
Jack says that it'll be a week before she shows up. {How the fuck does he know her schedule?}  Kate's going to use the gun and shoot the rope to release them. {She grew up hunting with her dad.}
Kate shoots, and misses! It's Jack's turn. He can waste another bullet because he still has “13 more to shoot each other with." {WTF?} Jack very, very confidently makes the shot! YEAH!!! They fall to the ground.

Back at the beach Bernard yells at Jin, who is the last one standing.   Bernard demands three rows of rocks so they can see it from the air.   Jin answers in Korean.
Bernard pleads with Jin; he just wants to get Rose home.
Jin says "Sorry" in English, and leaves Bernie to his project.

Locke is sitting at the beach and Rose walks over.  He's in her spot! {Uh huh}
John-"I can move."
She sarcastically joking asks "Can you?"
She guesses his sense of humor got trapped under that door with his leg.
Locke comments he saw her husband in the jungle hauling rocks.
Rose tells Locke about the big sign in the sand Bernard is building "So the satellites will see it. That man doesn’t know the difference between an errand and a fool’s errand.”
Locke seems amused, “Well Rose, most of us don’t.”
Rose can't remember the last time she saw John out of that hatch.
Locke is done with the hatch.
Rose feels he's just frustrated, "You'll be out of that splint and running around the island again in no time." {Sure will!}
Locke- "And yet Jack said it would be at least four weeks." {I heard Jack say a couple of weeks not four. AH! But what do I know?}
Rose- "But Honey, You and I both know it's not gonna take that long." {Those two know lots of things!!}
{Flash Whoosh}






{The crutches hanging here remind me of the "roots" on the "Island"}






Rose is led in to meet Isaac the “healer”.
There are crutches, canes and walkers all over the place!
Thank you notes cover the walls.




Rose asks Isaac how this works; does he chant or pray or what?  Isaac explains to Rose that there are certain places with great energy, spots on the earth; like the one they're above right now.  Perhaps its geological, magnetic or something else. He  can harness this energy and give it to others.
{Note Isaac has two different eyes.}
Isaac closes his eyes and hovers his hands around her head.  Rose just watches him do his thing.  He tries to heal Rose but he can't do anything for her. Rose didn’t expect him to.
Isaac tells her "It doesn't mean that you can't be healed. Like I said, there's different energies. This is not the right place for you {Gee, she must NEED to go to the “Island”.}
Rose wonders, “Where is the right place?”
Isaac-“
I wish I knew.”
Rose will tell Bernard that "You fixed me"
Rose watches Bernard through the window talking to a little girl on crutches.
{Flash Whoosh}
In the rainy jungle Jack questions Kate what she meant back there in the net; that "they were sophisticated, the Others".
She mentions that last week when the baby got sick, she and Claire went into the jungle and found another hatch; a medical station. It was all cleared out. But there were lockers with dirty worn clothes on hangers, like costumes, make up kit, fake beard. She was going to tell him all this when he decided to let her back in the club. {WHAT CLUB?} He kept one of them locked up in the hatch for like a week and said nothing…
Jack tells her, "We're here". {Okay! That time he was there it was fucking DARK! Now it's daylight and raining!} You can actually see him recall events from that night including "There is where I laid my guns down".
Jack starts yelling for them! He is very focused and pleased with this.
"HEY! HEY I'M BACK! YOU SAY YOU'RE WATCHING US! YOU HEAR ME! WE'VE GOT YOUR MAN! IF YOU WANT HIM BACK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME OUT HERE! COME ON OUT! I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! I'LL BE RIGHT HERE UNTIL YOU TALK TO ME! I'LL BE RIGHT HERE!
{You can hear Kate say they're not here.}

At the beach Rose brings Bernard supper. He is working alone moving the black rocks. Rose asks where everybody is.  Bernard looks very worn out.
Rose apologizes to him for lying about Isaac healing her. "He didn't heal me. He didn’t do anything."
But she is healed!

We see Rose in the airport sitting next to Bernard. He has a ticket in hand.
Rose- "When you're sick and you've got something inside you that doesn't belong there, you can feel it. And after the crash, I couldn't feel it anymore. At first I thought it was just shock, but it wasn't. It's this place."
She told that lie so that they could spend whatever time they had left without Bernard trying to “do something.
Bernard feels maybe she's in remission. How does she know she’s not?
We see Rose take meds of her bag; one bottle falls. Locke, in a wheelchair, picks it up for her. {Flash Whoosh}
Rose-"Trust me. I know."


Bernard realizes that Rose doesn't want to be rescued. "You think if you leave, it'll come back. And if you can't leave, then neither can I. We won't ever leave Rose."
They hug, I cry!  Bernie would offer to take down the sign but they didn’t get very far with building it.

In the hatch, Locke is smiling, listening to a record; These Arms of Mine. {Same song as Rose and Bernard.}
Ana walks in and tells Locke with happiness that she pressed his button.
Locke-"It's not my button." {Ana smiles. She knows whose button it is.}
Ana- Where’d you go?”
Locke, after needing to stretch his legs on his crutches, hobbles back into the computer room to work on his blast door map. He seems more confident, focused and happy now. {The words on the paper he is drawing on, is in French.}









Eko and Charlie are working on the church in the dark.
Sun and Jin are tender with each other.
Claire is playing with Aaron.
Hurley and Libby are making shadow puppets.
Vincent finds his way to lonely Sawyer and eats right out of his hand.
Bernard and Rose are romantic by the fire.

In the jungle, tired Kate asks Jack how long he's going to wait. When his voice comes back, he'll yell some more.
Jack feels “They can hear me.”
Kate apologizes for kissing him. Apparently he’s not sorry.
They hear a twig snap and footsteps run through the jungle. They see a lit torch and hear hurried labored breathing.
Michael falls out of the jungle!





S.O.S. is a GREAT EPISODE!!!!
Dark and light. Rose and Bernard tied to the "Island".  Yes! But how?  They know exactly where they are.
Is Bernard a recruiter of some sort, or a guide? Who the hell is he, just a Tailie?!    Rose is important. Was Rose recruited or part of a medical study there?    Is cancer a byproduct of tests or experiments on the Island? Did she even really have cancer? Did she get "healed" by the “Island”?
What about Locke?  He and Rose share a major connection.
The metaphor of the "crutch" is great!   These emotionally lost people do indeed have "crutches".
I must note that sometimes I feel that when Locke is talking to other people, i.e. Henry, Eko, Rose, Jack, etc. that he’s really talking to himself.

Things to Note...Questions to ask...
☯ Trade. Deal. Cost. Worth. Boundaries. Line. Value.
☯ Record. Log. Stick. Map. Numbers. Button. Computer. Net. Crash.
☯ Is Rose a different “energy”?
☯ Have Rose and Bernard known each other for forever? I feel they will stay on the Island.
☯ The hatch is painted a “rose” color.
☯ Remission is a "holding pattern" of sorts.
☯ Clues and ties to the monster and Locke.
☯ Satellites more important than planes. Other planes as in levels, perhaps.
☯ Jack and Kate experts on traps made by others. HA!
☯ Is something BIG being built on the "Island" besides Eko's church of sticks?
☯ Rose knows that they belong on the "Island". Rose and Locke are aware Bernard is wasting his time. Could Locke taking over Roses spot? LOL!!
☯ Locke is done with the hatch! He's moved on to something else. Drawing the blast door map!
☯ French and Greek clues.
☯ One of them= what?...Whom?
☯ And then there's Michael! HA!
☯ Fake. Isaac the healer. Costumes, theatrical makeup, beards.
☯ In Lockdown John gave Helen a box with an engagement ring and asked her to marry him.
☯  It is NOT John Locke's button.
The little girl on crutches Bernard speaks to… Is she someone who is going into to see Isaac in hopes of being healed? Or proof that he is a fake?

  -Sign, in Tracking (hunting): also known as Spoor (Animal); trace evidence left on the ground after passage.
  -Used in computing.





This episode hit close to home for me, more than you’ll ever know.   Here I can relate to exactly why Rose won’t entertain the idea of leaving.   If only there really was a beautiful place to go to feel safe, to find inner peace, be free from fear, guilt and sickness,  I’d be on the first flight there.    It seems as if deep emotional and physical pain and challenges can this only be “fixed” on "this Island” and through the new challenges the “Island” presents.

Back to Bernard's sign...It is very possible this is really a “sign” that “something” is going to happen again.
So...S.O.S... Same Ol Shit!

Love to all who are "LOST"™

Disclaimer: I never claim to know everything about the show and my thoughts by no means make me right. The things I share here are my views and/or opinions. I don't claim to catch every single detail either. You all know I hate spoilers, and I stand clear of reading certain sites as to not take me off my own course of research. The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin!I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.

The Whole Truth.

Let's talk about LOST! The Whole Truth.
Sun is looking into a mirror.
Jin and Sun are about to have a romantic night. He thinks she looks great.
Jin asks Sun if she took her temperature; taking her right out of the romantic mood. They've been trying to conceive for a year. Sun looks uncomfortable and annoyed. Jin suggests they see a fertility doctor.
Sun-"Why do you care so much about a baby you wouldn't even see?"
They argue about his work.
Sun feels a man coming home from work with blood on his hands is not work. Jin shares that he comes home with blood on his hands because of her father; because of what he makes him do.
Sun is crying.
Jin apologizes, "I didn't mean to... I'm really sorry.  Maybe if we had a baby your father might change his mind. Maybe if we gave him a grandchild he might give me a safer job.  A baby will change everything. A baby will make it better."
{What exactly is Jin referring to here? Mr. Paik change his mind about what? In Everybody Hates Hugo, Jin says "Everything's going to change" in Hurley's dream/vision. Note Sun not wearing wedding ring but Jin is. Fu dog.}

Sun is in her garden working and gets nervous when she hears something; scaring her.   Jin comes running over and is pissed off that she's out there alone.
Jin-"Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"
Sun explains she's working in her garden. Jin is very upset and doesn't want her out there because of the attack by The Others and he wants her safe.
Jin-"Are you trying to get taken again?"
He literally tries to pull her to go back to the beach. Sun feels he doesn't need to protect her but she just wants to work in her garden.
So Jin rips apart her garden in anger,"Now you have no reason to be out here! Shall we go back now?"
Sun walks away hurt.

At the beach bitch Ana Lucia is running very fast with NO shoes on.   Locke is sitting by her tent eating a banana.
Locke- "You were running like the devils chasing ya."
Ana- "Maybe he is."   {Ana's running like that for a reason, this chick wasn't out for an afternoon jog. Why run like that with NO shoes?!}
Locke-"Good for you, keeping in shape."
Ana's mentions she's been there over a week and Locke's never said two words to her.
Locke- "We've got a man locked up down in the hatch. There's a possibility he's one of them...the Others."
Ana-"Who's we?"
Locke-"Me and Jack. He's keeping watch right now."
Ana-"How long's he been down there?"
Locke-"Three days. I'd like you to talk with him. You have experience with the Others. You were a cop. Seems to me you're the most qualified to figure out if this man's telling the truth." {Yes! Lots of experience with the others!}
Ana-"Does Jack know you're coming to me with this?"
Locke-"We've got a serious problem, Ana Lucia...all of us. I'm taking the necessary steps to solve it. I don't need Jack's permission to talk with you because right now there's a man sitting in a room in my hatch and I want him out."

At the beach Rose and Bernard are walking by and arguing.
Rose-"I don't have to give you anything.  It's the thought that counts. You just didn't think."
Bernard-"I think all the time. You know, maybe you should think about giving me a little bit of a break here."
Rose tells Bernard to hush.
Sun is a few feet away and appears ill;  She says she is lightheaded.
Rose gives Sun water from Bernard's pack.
Rose-"Don't pay him any mind, honey. He's just mad at the world because he forgot my birthday."
Bernard-"I didn't forget. I don't even know what day of the week it is, Rose."
Rose-"It's Saturday, Bernard. {to Sun} Honey, can you walk?"
Sun-" Really, I'm alright."
Bernard-"Maybe we should go get Jin?"
Sun-" No! I think I was just out in the sun too long."
Rose-"Well, you spent a lot of time around the baby maybe you caught something.  At least talk to Jack."
Sun-"Really, I'm okay. Thank you. Both of you."
Looking a little unfocused, Sun walks on.
{Flash Whoosh}
Sun sneaks into a hotel room to meet Jae. {Sign-Do Not Disturb. Uses a key card. Sun wears black and white.}
He is the General Manager of the hotels his father owns; he has flexible hours. They speak in Korean.
Jae-"Does he know you're here?"
Sun-"No."
Jae thought she was going to tell him but she couldn't.  Jae offers her a drink and Sun would like some iced tea.
Jae-"In English." {Gives it to her in a wine glass} He's been giving Sun lessons. Jin is not aware Sun has been taking these lessons. Jae can see something is bothering her and asks what it is.
Sun doesn't want to talk about it.
Jae {In Korean}-"Well, if you change your mind, not that I'm the one to come to for relationship advice but I think Jin would proud that you can speak English."
Sun-"And what do I tell him when he asks how I learned, or who I learned from."
Jae-"If you're uncomfortable with our arrangement, we can stop."
Sun-"Is that what you want?"
Jae-"No. It's good practice for me, too."
{So, he teaches her English, what does she do for him? NOTE THE FU DOG}
{Flash Whoosh}
At the hatch Jack is coming out of the shower. {WooooHooooo! Uh, Sorry bout that! LOL} There's Locke shaving in front of the mirror.  Jack is annoyed that Locke couldn't wait until he was done.  Locke likes the way the steam opens his pores. Locke thinks it's a good time to talk about their Henry problem.
Locke-"We've had him locked up for three days now, and I can't help but get the sense that he's just not motivated to cooperate with us."
Jack-"And how are we going to motivate him?"
Locke-"I don't think there's anything we can do. I think we need to bring in some new blood."
Jack-"Obviously, you have someone in mind."
Locke-"What do you think about Ana Lucia?"
Jack scoffs-"Why her?"
Locke-"She's the one you went to start an army to fight these people, why not her? Unless you're worried about what she'll do to him?"
Jack-"I'll talk to her."
Locke-"I already did. She's in there with him now."
{We get a lovely shot of the armory door with the combination lock. A clue that the combination will change again.}
Ana is with Henry.
Henry asks Ana if she was on the plane too.
Ana shares that she was in the tail section; says they crashed on the 'other side of the Island'.  {They share a pleasant moment, but from now on pay extra attention to Ana's words and body language}
Ana-"So, You gonna tell me your story Henry?"
Henry-"Why bother, I've already told it to everyone, Jack, Locke, the big black guy that cut off his beard in front of me. Oh, yeah, and my buddy, Sayid. You can see how much he liked my story.
Ana-"So how about you try me."
Henry-"I don't mean to be ungrateful, but why are you going to help me get out of here?"
Ana-"On the other side of the Island there was this guy with us. I was 100 percent convinced that he wasn't on the plane. So I dug a whole and I threw him in it."
Henry-"And what happened?"
Ana-"I was wrong And now he's dead. But good news for you Henry. I don't make the same mistake twice. So how about you tell me your story?"

At the beach Sawyer is reading "Are you there God, it's me Margaret". {Reading glasses} Sun walks over and asks him how his book is. Sawyer feels it's predictable; not nearly enough sex! {HA! I love Sawyer!}
Sun heard that he has all the medical supplies. Sawyer confirms that she heard correct. Sun asks to look through them and Sawyer says no. "But if you'll tell me what you're looking for..."
Frustrated Sun tells him to forget it and starts to walk away.
Sawyer-"Okay, hold on. Now I'm intrigued. Tell you what, tell me what you're looking for and it's yours, gratis."
Sun-"Can't I just look myself?"
Sawyer-"It's not a drug store, sweetheart."
Sun-"I need a pregnancy test." {Again, all their needs are met! A pregnancy test on a fucking island! HA!}
The pregnancy test is from Widmore Labs.
In the hatch Locke is listening to music.{'You're pushing too hard on me'.}  The lava lamp is on, and Locke has a Geronimo Jackson album in his hands. {The room is lit low, yet the picture on the wall is brightly lit.}
Jack is trying to hear Ana and Henry behind the door, but can't hear anything. She's only been in there about 30 minutes.
Jack remarks that Henry "could have snapped her neck".
Locke asks "How do you know she hasn't snapped his?"

Inside the armory Ana questions Henry.
Ana-"So let me get this straight... you and your wife travel around the world and crash here in a smiley-face balloon?  Then she dies.  You get captured by a French chick who brings you here, and then they lock you up."
Henry-"It sounds kind of silly when you say it like that."
Ana-"Why don't you have a beard?"  {Does she know the Others wear costumes?}
Henry-"Because I shaved... because I needed something normal."
Ana-"Okay... so why don't you draw me a map to your balloon?  We'll go out there, we'll find it, and everybody will believe you."
Henry-"That's what they all keep asking me to do draw a map.  And if I mess up they'll crucify me."
Ana-"You flew around the world in a balloon and you don't think you can draw up a good map?"
Henry-"Air travel...it's a different animal. It's about wind currents and..."
Ana-"Do you or do you not know where it is?
Henry-"Yeah, I know where it is. I went back there to bury my wife."
Ana-"Why'd you do that?"
Henry-"Because our balloon was the closest thing we had to home.   You people have been looking for someone to punish for everything that's happened to you, someone to blame, and now you've got him. It doesn't matter what I do, I'm dead already."
Ana-"You draw up that map, Henry. I'll find your balloon. But if you don't, things are going to play out just like you said."
Sun walks into the jungle to find a spot to take her pregnancy test.
Hurley shows up eating an Apollo bar. They both look like two kids who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Hurley-"Hey, Sun. Look what I found in the middle of the jungle. It's not even melted or nothing. Crazy, huh? You want to split it?"   {It's not even melted or nothing, crazy huh?!}
Sun declines and Hurley continues on his walk.
{Note pregnancy test results in 2 minutes}
{Flash Whoosh}
Jin and Sun at the fertility doctor's office. {I love Sun's shoes here! Beautiful!}
Sun is obviously nervous. Dr Kim inquires about Sun's father and makes a point to be sure to give his regards to him.
Very anxious Jin wants the results now.
Dr. Kim-"I'm afraid the news is not good. The ultrasound showed advanced endometriosis, scar tissue... blocking the fallopian tubes. I'm afraid that... even with surgery the chances of conceiving are... impossible."
Jin-"Can't you fix this? There must be something you can do."
Dr. Kim-" I'm afraid not, sir. I'm sorry."
Pissed of Jin asks Sun, "Did you know about this before we got married?"
Sun is stunned, "What?"
Jin-"You must have had some idea."
Sun-" Why would I keep something like this from you? Oh, yes. I was trying to trap the son of a fisherman."
Angry Jin pushes the stack of files off the desk and walks out.
{Flash Whoosh}
At the hatch Ana bangs on the armory door three times; the signal that she's "coming out".     Jack uses the combination to unlock the door. Locke is working on something with a screwdriver. {Tools} Ana and Jack share a look.

In the computer room Ana says that Henry told her the same story he told them.
Locke asks if she believes him.   She says she doesn't know yet as she needs more time with him.
Locke-"He's all yours."
Ana-"Tomorrow. I want to give him some time to think. {to Jack} If that's okay with you."
Jack-" I didn't tell anyone, Ana."
Ana-"No worries, man."  {Tell what? What does Jack know? Watch Jack watch Ana as she leaves, Check out the look on Locke's face as he's watching Jack!  That's why I read body language!}
Sayid and Charlie are building something.  Charlie makes a comment that it's a bit large for a dining room table, isn't it? {Grid. Bamboo.}
Sayid- "If we cut them in two it will suit the purpose." {Clue to dividing something into two (sides).}
Ana wants to talk to Sayid alone, but he lets her know she "can say it here" {When she says alone, Charlie puts himself in the conversation with them}
Ana says it's about the hatch. Charlie chimes in and says "Oh, you mean about the guy locked in the closet there...{he jumps down off the platform} What about em?"
{He always tries to get right in the middle of a jungle excursion, just like Kate}
Ana shows Sayid a simple map drawn on the back of a page torn out of "The Brothers Karamazov."
He wants to know how she got him to do that.
She said she asked nicely.
Sayid asked if Jack and Locke know about this?
Ana said that "Jack and Locke are a little too busy worrying about Locke and Jack." {Watch Sayid and Charlie SMIRK WHEN SHE SAYS THAT!  Plus…She also verbally 'mirrors' the words Locke and Jack. So Locke asks the bitch for her help but she goes behind his back and gets the map and shares that with Sayid and Charlie! WTF????}
Ana just wants to know if this guys telling the truth.
Sayid- "Why come to me?
Ana-"Judging from what you did to his face  that's what you want too."
Sayid tells her it's at least a day's walk.
Ana-"Then we should get going."
Ana and Charlie share a bit of a mischievous look.  {Sayid and Ana both have their hair up.}
Sayid leads Charlie and Ana through the jungle, by the stream, {where Charlie trips in the shallow water}
Charlie wears his black hoodie out on this trek. Sayid is in charge of the map. Sayid points out the cliff.
Ana-"Score one for Henry." {Like she's happy about it!}
Sayid-"Pointing out a geographical touchstone does not mean he's leading us to a balloon."
Ana-"Maybe not, but at least we're on the right Island." {They sure are!}
Sayid walks on.
Charlie-"Humor's not his strong suit....{Ana has no reaction} And I'm saying this to you."
They continue their trek. Charlie turns around and sees Ana staring.
Charlie-"You looking at my bum?"
Ana-"No,I'm looking at your gun." {I can't stand Ana! OMFG, she just pisses me off!}
Charlie-"My what?"
Ana-" Maybe you should give the gun to somebody who knows how to use it."
Charlie-"Maybe I will. As I recall, the last time you had a gun you murdered someone."
Sayid-"That's enough."
Charlie takes the gun out and acts like he's going to give it to Ana but gives it to Sayid. {Why doesn't Charlie keep the gun? Why give it to anyone? Why does Charlie have this gun? Behaving like children!}
Sayid-"We'll go as far as the base of the cliff and we'll camp there." {Ana is mad at spiteful Charlie.}

At the beach Kate is with Sun as she waits for the results of her two minute test.
Kate wonders where Sawyer got the pregnancy test, "I mean, who flies with a pregnancy test, right?"
Sun asks her if she ever took a pregnancy test. Kate says yeah. Sun thanks Kate for waiting with her and not asking why Jin isn't.
Kate-"You're welcome. It's time."
Two pink lines.
Kate-"You're pregnant!"
Sun looks confused and is concerned about it's accuracy, is it 100 percent sure?"
Kate-" There's only one way to find out."

Jack holds the pregnancy test and mentions, "These tests are pretty accurate. You know, a false negative in the first week maybe, but positive is a positive."
Sun-" But it's impossible."
Jack-"Oh no, it's possible. You feeling queasy, lightheaded?"
Sun-" Please, Jack. This is private, nobody can know."
Kate-"You're not going to tell Jin?"
Sun-" In time I will, it's just...it's complicated."
Jack-"As complicated as Jin being the last one on the Island to find out you spoke English? Sun, my advice ... and it's just that because I'm the last person to ask about this, but, you should tell him. And when you do you should tell him everything , the whole truth. I'm going to get back to the hatch. Congratulations, Sun."{Just like Jin supposedly was the last to know she spoke English}
Kate asks Jack, "You've been down there a lot, Jack. Is everything okay?"
Jack tells her everything is fine.
Sun seems as if her mind has drifted to somewhere far away and she's just staring. Kate asks her if she's okay but she doesn't answer back; she just stares.
Kate-"You okay? Sun."
Jae-"Sun." {Flash Whoosh}
Jae-"Sun."
Sun is staring out the window. {Reflection gives us two}
Jae says she was distracted for their entire lesson so she's not fine.  Sun confesses that she and Jin went to the doctor and reveals she can't have children; and she was glad with the news.
In Korean Jae asks why they are there; she's been fluent in English for a month. {They speak in Korean}
Jae-"Why are you learning English?"
Sun-"Because...{she thinks about it for a second} I'm moving to America."
Jae-"Jin. You're going to leave him. I ran away to America for a woman because I thought I was in love.  But you can't run away from your life."
Sun-"And Jin? Is he my life? I should stay because..."
Jae in English-"I'm not saying you should stay for Jin."
{Note the Fu Dog right in front.}
{Flash Whoosh}
At the cliff Sayid is sitting, staring at a campfire. Charlie is sleeping.
Ana-"Do you mind?"
Sayid feels that she should sleep while she can.
Ana pokes a stick around in the fire, "Yeah, I can't sleep. People don't like me.  I tried to get them to most of my life. I guess I just gave up a while back. I mean, I am what I am. But you...you've got a good reason to hate me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did."
Sayid-"You were trying to protect your people.  It wasn't you that killed Shannon; it was them. And once we find out he is one of them then something will have to be done."

It's morning and Ana is sleeping as Sayid sits staring/watching at her.
Ana says it's going to rain. Sayid feels they should get moving.
Charlie has brought breakfast; papaya's and papaya's! {Charlie Rocks!}
They trek in the rain. Sayid determines this is it;They are there.   They look around but don't see the balloon.
Charlie asks Sayid, "This balloon would be rather large, right?"
Sayid is not surprised (by no balloon). {Charlie is looking up} Ana suggests they look some more.
Ana-"If I'm going to back your play on this, Sayid, we need to be sure."
Sayid-"I'll divide the area into three grids, so search as thoroughly as you please."
{What? Sayid has a plan! Ana is in on it?}

At the beach Bernard is trying to catch an oyster not fish with a net. He wants a pearl for Rose. Jin is out there with his own net. The men use hand gestures to communicate with each other.
Bernard shows Jin he's looking for oysters.
Jin-"Ah...No oyster. No oyster here." {In English of course!}

Happy shirtless Sawyer comes down and calls Jin "Daddy O". "Way to go, Papa-san. You didn't waste much time. I'd give you a cigar, Bernie, but I'm fresh out."
Bernard-"Sun's pregnant?!"
Sawyer-"Keep it down there, Suzie; I don't think Jin Sr. here knows yet." {Does Sawyer know it will be a boy?}
Bernard and Sawyer talk about Sun being pregnant right in front of Jin but Jin is confused and can't understand them because...
********Jin hears everything backwards******
Here is the dialog between Sawyer and Bernard {Thanks to my son Kevin for helping me with this!}
Bernard- "Well how do you know?"
Sawyer- "Well, I got my sources."
Bernard- "Why aren't you gonna tell him-that?"
Sawyer- "Well it's not my place"
Bernard- "You should tell him..."
Sawyer- "Hell no, let Sunshine tell him."

Jin returns to Sun's garden and tries to replant the plants back where they belong. {Locke replants Sun's plant after she rips up her garden in anger in '...And Found'}
Sun shows up. Jin says he's fixing a mistake.
Emotional Jin says he needs her, "I hate being this way. Fighting. And I can't... I can't talk to anyone. I can't understand them. I need you, Sun."
Sun tries to say something
Jin-"It's okay. I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to..."
Sun tells Jin she's pregnant and he is very happy.
Sun-"Jin, listen to me. There's something... there's something I need to tell you."
{Flash Whoosh}
Sun is walking her big dog. Dr. Kim pulls up next to her and wants her to get in the car; they need to speak.   Sun starts to walk away but the troubled doctor gets out of the car and tells her in Korean,"Wait! Please! I've done something terrible. It's not you that can't have children...It's your husband."
Sun is shocked and wonders why the doc would lie.
Dr. Kim-"I couldn't. I'm so sorry. Your husband... he works for your father.   If I told a man like him he couldn't... he would burn my practice to the ground!"
The freaked out doctor is telling her this now because she deserves to know the truth.{Why would a fertility Dr. be afraid of Sun's father?}
{Flash Whoosh}
At the garden stunned Jin asks Sun, "Why didn't you tell me?... If I'm...If I can't... how can there be a baby?"
Sun-"I swear to you, Jin, I have never been with another man. That is the truth."
Jin decides it a miracle.   {We see Sun's facial expression change, why? Many have said she isn't telling the truth about an assumed affair. But maybe, she just knows the whole truth about something else/everything else!}

Sun and Jin work together in the garden and talk about the baby. {There are rows of crop/plants} Jin says if it's a boy he'd like to use a character from his fathers name.
Sun-"And perhaps one from my mother's."
Happy Jin asks if they can tell people. Sun names the bunch that already know. Jin realizes what Sawyer meant by Daddy o. They'd be lucky if there's anyone left to tell.
Jin-"Are you ready for lunch? Shall we go back?" {Hmm?}
Sun-" I'd like to stay for another 20 minutes or so...by myself. If that's alright with you."
Jin is fine with that and will meet her back at the beach.
Sun-"I love you." {She seems a bit surprised she said it}
Jin kisses her and says, "I love you" in English. Sun seems happy.

In the armory Henry sits reading a book as you hear Jack open the combination lock of the door. {ticks/clicks of the lock}
Jack enters asks him "How is it?"
Henry reads out loud-"Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those who they have slain."
Henry- "So what's the difference between a martyr and a prophet?"
Jack- "Either way it sounds like you end up dead."
Henry laughs- "That's the spirit!" {Who are they really talking about here? Hmmm?!}
Jack asks him if he's ready for some breakfast.   Jack lets him out of the armory to eat.
Locke is pouring himself a bowl of Dharma cereal and seems surprised to see that Jack let Henry out. Henry sees into the computer room and asks what the computer is for.
Jack-"Nothing."
{THE FOLLOWING DIALOG IS VERY IMPORTANT!}
Henry asks where they got cereal; he's impressed and excited.
Locke says it's been down here all along; the pantry's full of food.
Henry-"How old is it?" Nobody answers.
Henry-"You guys don't know much, huh? I mean, I'd be asking all kinds of questions about all this stuff down here. You guys don't even seem that curious."
Jack-"Do you want the cereal or don't you?"
Henry-"This must be my reward for good behavior, huh? I guess I earned myself some good will for finally drawing that map for Ana?"
Locke-"What map?"
Henry says to his balloon. The guys are shocked.
Jack asks Locke "Did you..."
Locke-"No!"
Henry- "Wow, you guys have some real trust issues, don't you? Guess it makes sense she didn't tell you. I mean, with the two of you fighting all the time. Of course, if I was one of them,these people that you seem to think are your enemies...what would I do? Well, there'd be no balloon... so I'd draw a map to a real secluded place like a cave or some underbrush...good place for a trap, an ambush. And when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them.  Then they'd use them to trade for me. I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them, huh? You guys got any milk?"
{So much for John Locke living off the land when there's dry cereal involved! LOL}





The Whole Truth is a GREAT EPISODE!!!!
There are people right there on the Island who know the whole truth.   They may not like it or want it anymore, but they know.    Some don't recall everything, but they too know they have a purpose there.
Sun is aware of her father's power but what exactly is her father involved in, really?  What is going on with Jin and his involvement with Sun's family?   Why would Jin look for a reason (here's it's a baby) for Mr. Paik to change his mind about something that must be huge?   Does Mr. Paik have something else in mind for Jin and Sun, something other than Jin's role of messenger to his clients?
Sun's wealthy family involved in the island...yes.
Sun and Jin seem to be important to the whole truth.

Things to note...Questions to ask...
✦ Was Jin and/or Sun a 'bit part character' of a bigger plan? Or major 'characters in this play? Is Sun going to have a boy?
✦ Is it safe to note Sun+ Jin + Mr. Paik + Power + Fertility + Dr.+ Tests= Island? Maybe that's part of it. I'll keep it in mind for later.
✦ Changing the combination on the armory lock is NOT just about changing numbers on the lock itself.
✦ Story. Book. Written.
✦ Languages. Communication.
✦ Game. Quest. Trap. Ambush. Score. Trade.
✦ Character. Map. Tools.
✦ Backwards dialog. Why? A glitch.
✦ Black. White. Red.
✦ Guard. Protect.
✦ Lessons. Learn. Teach.
✦ Temperature.
✦Crazy.
✦ Brothers.
✦ Birthday.
✦ Dr Kim.  In the episode ...And Found, Jin was interviewed by Mr. Kim at the hotel.
✦ Does Ana know this prisoner in the hatch (or know of him)?    Is Ana reviewing or confirming Henry's story?   Is Ana and the prisoner just getting his story straight because she knows she is supposed to help him.   Does she want the Lostie's to believe Henry?   She doesn't sound like she's trying to prove him wrong, she wants his story to be believed, yet Ana tells Sayid she will help Sayid with his plan. I think one of these people trying to prove Henry to be telling the truth and the other one is trying to prove him a liar?
✦ Henry says to Ana that they are trying to find someone to blame for everything that's happened to them, and he's telling the truth. They are!  But is it Henry they should be mad at? There are people involved that have brought them all into this island situation. Is Henry the martyr in this story or the prophet? Or is that role reserved for one of our other Lostie's?
✦ Did Hurley get the Apollo bar from his stash?   It  wasn't even fucking melted! The island must be temperature controlled.
✦ Jin uses the word 'character' when talking about his father's name.  We need to see if/how that word fits this story in another way. Again, because I have no life and I'm friggin crazy like that! lol!
✦ Prisoner. Punish. Good behavior. 
✦ "Island" events blur together with "Flashes".
✦ Mirrors are all over this episode. Even Ana Lucia verbally 'mirrors' the words Locke and Jack.
Sawyer is able ask what they are looking for and give it to them!!!!

♦  A Role...a person as portrayed by an actor. Fictional character, and such archetypes as the protagonist, villain and trickster.

Feminine versions: Joan, Joana, and Jan.




Ana, Sayid and Charlie know the "Island".  They can find their way around just fine even with a primitive map with no details.  Did Ana take an oath so to speak, to protect/defend "her people" and the "Island"?   Who else may have made a similar promise?

Here's a little Pearl of Wisdom from me, do your homework. If you'd like read up on pearls and oysters, touchstone.   Also keep in mind when a word can mean something else like Character or Profit, Prophet...

Even though we've seen reflections of our characters in mirrors or windows, etc., it has become much more of an obvious clue.  We know that a reflection makes us see two images of the same person.  Could there be two of some of our "Island" residents walking around or...two sides to a person.  Do they need to truly see themselves?
I still feel that there must be people watching all of them on the "Island".   Watching them play out this adventure/experiment/journey, complete tests and lessons.   Are these tests being run for 100% accuracy?

Experiment, study, project, tests, challenges, game, whatever.....Whomever is orchestrating all of this they are watching ALL of the "Island" residents. Always watching!

The whole truth...Who knows it?
Could it be Sun, Jin, Henry and……....? Yep! It sure could be!

The one thing I don't need to do here is rehash all of the obvious clues from an episode, we all know what they are. Understood? Good. Let the fun begin! I'll only note things that I know come up as clues later, but need to be noted when they first show up and things I find that will be of importance. It will get very exciting as we progress into the story.
