Juliet died, but Sayid and Locke were still walking around despite their own demises in Lost Season 6 Episode 2.
Sayid says he’s feeling a little light headed. Well, that could be because he died. Sawyer is not happy that this Iraqi torturer gets another shot, but Juliet did not.
Kate gets the taxi driver to step on the gas thanks to the gun she stole. As they’re driving, a pedestrian gets in the way. Gun or no gun, he doesn’t plan to run him over. Claire would like to make a run for it, but that’s not happening. Kate wants the driver to go left on red, at which point he decides he’s had enough and makes a run for it. After taking Claire’s purse, Kate tells her to get out of the car. Claire would like to get her suitcase first, but Kate denies the request.
Sawyer plots a successful escape from the others. He doesn’t have to stay, even if he maybe should consider it. Kate offers to track him and bring him back. If they let her go, too.
Arriving at a body shop, Kate asks for a tire hammer. At gunpoint. First of all, that will just cut off her wrist. Second of all, if she asks nicely and pays, the guy might just be willing to help her out. Once she’s gotten rid of the handcffs, she opens up Claire’s suitcase, finding assorted baby products inside.
Sayid is brought inside and strapped down before having wires attached to him. Then it’s time for the hot poker. His wounds had almost healed, but that’s pretty well changed now. He’s told he passed the test, whatever that means, although we later learn that was just a lie.
Feeling guilty, Kate returns to see Claire, who reluctantly agrees to chat with her, accepting a ride to go meet the couple who are going to adopt her baby.
In Kate’s trek through the jungle, she’s getting attitude from one of the others. His problem: she staged her prison break by knocking the guard (him) out with her rifle three years ago. So she knocks him out again because she wants to escape again.
After finding out that Sayid’s been tortured, Jack makes his way back to confront them. They tell him he’s infected, so he needs to take a pill, which he must take willingly in order for it to work. Their pitch to Jack is that this is his chance to redeem himself, seeing as others around him keep dying.
Sayid realizes he didn’t pass the test after all. Jack pulls out the medicine, or at least that’s what it is according to them. Since Sayid trusts Jack, he’ll take the pill if that’s what he wants.
Kate bids Jin farewell and will be heading to find Sawyer on her own.
Claire arrives to see the couple, or at least one of them, whose husband left her. She’s no longer able to adopt the baby. Maybe she could have called this woman who just came half way around the world and informed her of this change of heart. That would have prevented Claire from having to go into labor on her doorstep.
Kate finds Sawyer as planned.
Claire’s made her way to the hospital, where she’s told by Dr. Ethan she can have her baby now if she chooses. Unlike when she was on the island, he gives her the option of whether to start sticking her with needles. She’s not ready yet.
Kate’s mission is to find Claire and bring her back to Aaron. She apologizes for Juliet, although Sawyer takes the blame on himself, since he convinced her to stay when she was trying to leave. He guesses some people are meant to be alone, and his planned proposal for marriage is dashed.
Jack has decided to not give Sayid the pill because he does not know what’s in it. If he doesn’t give it to him, he’ll die. Yeah, that already happened. Jack decides to swallow it himself, which leads to him being pummeled to spit it out. What’s in it? Poison.
Claire gets a visit from a Detective Rasmussen, but she chases her off by claiming Kate was just the cab driver who helped her out. Before she leaves, Kate suggests keeping the baby, whose name Claire has already blurted out.
Why do they want to kill Sayid? They believe he’s been claimed by the darkness growing inside him, and they can be sure of that because it happened to Jack’s sister.
In his attempt to flee from the guys who have awakened and now want to kill him, Jin falls in a trap. Before he can be shot, the threat is eliminated by a gun toting Claire.
