Dollhouse Season 1 Episode 5

Echo was remotely wiped in Dollhouse Season 1 Episode 4, which caused her to have a breakdown while on assignment.

A brainwashed group of people is singing about their happy happy thoughts. This displeases Jesse. Once they leave, it’s discovered that one of them has left behind a request: save me.

Senator Boxbaum asks Adelle to place an active with a federal agency, the ATF. Why exactly do they send the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms after fanatical religious cults anyway? And what do firearms have to do with the other two?

Despite having been shot, Ballard’s still at work.

In order to turn Echo into a human camera, they will have to make her blind. Not permanently… in theory. That footage will be fed back to the ATF. The risks of the surgery, including death and seizure, have been determined to be within acceptable margins.

Based on the request by the person who requested saving, a judge has granted the ATF 48 hours to be able to crack into the group. They will be utilizing Echo, Ester Carpenter. She will walk through the gates of the compound and be accepted as one of them. Upon arrival, she meets and immediately knows Jonas, the cult leader, by touching his face.

Ballard asks an agent with higher security clearance to try to find Caroline. Her result is the same as his: she doesn’t exist.

So who told Ester about this place? Jonas did. He appeared to her in a vision and spoke to her. It’s a miracle. If she is who she says she is. If not, she’ll need to be crushed like the serpent she is.

Topher was looking at Victor in the shower. Just glancing. He noticed he seemed to be getting excited when Sierra joined him. His repeated romantic imprint may potentially be a problem. He and the doctor will be watching the shower tapes for the last three months for… man reactions.

This cult is an offshoot of the Zion Ranch, the real life cult busted in Waco.

Jonas is broken, corrupted, and impure, by his own admission. Because the dumb bunnies under his watch are the opposite of that, he will do whatever it takes to protect them, including pulling a gun on Ester. She’s convincing enough to get him to believe she’s not the enemy. He doesn’t just have the one gun, though. There’s a whole arsenal.

Paul gets an envelope from some guy in the hall. The writing matches the original anonymous letter he got. The woman who took the letter got it from a cute guy in his 20s with brown hair. He had a cart. Yeah, it was the guy from the mailroom. Now they’ve got a video of Caroline to go along with the picture.

Dr. Saunders and Topher are watching Victor in the showers. It’s not residual imprinting. It’s Sierra.

Boyd wants to remove Ester from the compound now that the ATF is planning to barge in. They won’t be waiting because Agent Grant Lilly has a personal vendetta against Jonas and wants to see him locked up forever. Dominic instructs Boyd to do nothing. He wouldn’t mind if Echo dies in the crossfire.

As Ester’s being christened into her new home, the ATF is lining up outside. Because the grounds are rigged, Jonas knows they’re coming. He grabs a gun and then slaps Ester. After this hit to the face, she can now see, which makes the feds blind.

The news media has arrived, and while watching the footage, Ballard notices Caroline.

Boyd goes to the convenience store where the note was left. Nobody’s thought to check the security tape to find out who their person on the inside is. Now Boyd knows who he’s dealing with. Agent Lilly planted the note to create a stir.

Jonas has Ester read a creepy story about a blazing fire. As she’s doing this, Seth, one of Jonas’ followers, is in the process of setting the place on fire. The flames can’t hurt them. It will be another miracle.

ATF is storming the grounds trying to find Boyd. One of them finds him, but not before he knocks him out.

Ester warns Jonas that he can’t force a miracle. So he hits her again. Now it’s time for her to hit him. If he won’t protect the people, it’s time for her to do so. God brought her there with a message: move your ass. All the followers have escaped. With that, Jonas is unknocked out, and he’s still got his gun. He’s shot by Dominic, who then decides to knock out Ester. Just in time, Boyd arrives to pull her out of there. She knows him. How is that possible? It’s not.

Ballard comes to find Echo. Lilly plays dumb.

Adelle wants to eliminate any temptation before it spreads like a cancer. Victor must be scrubbed and closely monitored.

Echo sees perfectly now… and is keeping an eye on Dominic.

Reaper Season 2 Episode 2

Sock got a new sister in Reaper Season 2 Episode 1. Let’s just see how long he can keep his hands off her. Sam, meanwhile, believes he’s discovered a loophole and a way to get out of Hell free.

The soul is a Mongolian warrior from the 13th century, whatever they look like. He’s skilled with swords, spears, and knives, and he could probably snap your spine with his bare hands. Ben gets distracted by a bunny, so while he and Sock are arguing whether they can keep it, they’re attacked from behind by the warrior. It’s a good thing he’s freaked out by demonic technology like cell phones. He’s gone, but at least they’re still alive.

In his hunt for the soul who figured out a way to get out of his deal with the Devil, Sam plans to post flyers around town with his picture. He’s offering a large reward (aka a gift certificate to Outback… a $30 gift certificate).

Sometimes when Ben gets lonely, he gets really attached to animals. But the rabbit is different. Honest.

How is this not a dream sequence? Kristen wakes Sock up and begins wrestling with him. He’s got the blue man group in his pants.

Sock and Sam ban having bunnies in the house. The I’s have it.

Andi’s talking to a customer, who she knows is a secret shopper from corporate. The secret shopper requests that she not tell anybody who she is. Mum’s the word. Except for Sam and Sock of course.

Gladys recognizes the demon, Alan Townsend. Sam got her out of Hell (but only once), so he expects her to return the favor.

As Sam’s making copies, the Devil shows up. His good news: the Mongols conquered half the planet, so he may want to catch his soul sooner rather than later.

Kristen’s exercising. This is so unfair. Why does she insist on labelling Sock as her brother?

Sam hears the noise the Devil warned him about, the one that lets him know a demon’s about to kill him. Good thing Ben has a tiki torch for his bunny, as he promptly uses it to set the demon on fire. That hardly seems realistic. The next day, he goes to see Gladys, who sent the demon to kill him. She gives him an address for Alan. If this is another set up to get him killed, his dad will want to punish all those involved. So she changes the address.

Sock takes his sister out to get her drunk so he can take advantage of her. His plan is to impress her with his mad dancing skills, but he will have to deal with another too full of himself guy in the process. For some reason, she chooses the other guy, instead of her brother, leaving him to slow dance by himself.

The Devil shows up in Sam’s car to tell him love is really wonderful, and to ask him what he’s doing on stakeout (spending time with his gal) instead of hunting for the soul, who’s rampaging property on horseback. He’s worried that Sam’s becoming… distracted.

Based on history, the soul will be attacking the Vietnamese restaurant Sock, Ben, and Sam are at, since he’s invaded a Chinese place and a Korean BBQ already. Somehow, this theory is right. The Mongolian has a suit, but he’s not willing to wait that 15 minutes in line. He grabs some meat cleavers and chops Sam’s vessel in half. Time to break out the cell phone, but the soul already has one. He really has learned to adapt. With a mad dash for the half of the vessel that works, Sam is able to capture the soul.

Ben was right about where the soul would attack. Therefore, his rabbit should be allowed back in the house. Because Ben saved his life and stuff, Sam seconds the motion to allow another vote on whether the rabbit can come back inside. By a close vote of 2-1, Ben loses again.

Topher, the guy from the bar, is there to pick up Kristen. Sock hopes to intimidate him with a large knife. Nobody’s allowed to score with his sister but him. With that said, Sock takes a chair and smashes it over Topher.

Ted notices the secret shopper. She’s been there every day this week, so she must want him. Security will be escorting Ted out now.

Sam finds Alan, but he doesn’t want to talk. There’s too much risk being on the Devil’s radar, but he’ll never be off the Devil’s radar. Unless he gets Sam’s assistance. He knows his tricks, some of them, and the Devil trusts him. Just as Alan’s starting to listen, there’s that noise again. Another demon sent to wipe out the Devil’s son. This demon’s going down. The Devil wants his buddy to warn his friends that Sam is not to be touched. When they go to the bar, Sam realizes the Devil set him up. Now Alan’s too afraid to talk to him. Instead of fighting it, Sam might as well just accept the fact that he’s going to Hell when he dies.

Sock’s worried that Topher just wants to bang Kristen and bail. Maybe that’s what she wants.

Although he will no longer trust Sam, perhaps Alan will trust Andi instead.

Another demon attacks. Ben’s holding his bunny in the garage, so he runs off and wants to go inside. Not with that animal he won’t. They realize something’s up when Ben is pulled upward. He awakens after being knocked out. The rabbit seems fine, though. It’s the demon he burned. Maybe they can get the demon some ointment or something. The demon is impressed with Ben. He’s very brave risking his life to save his friends, he seems to love the rabbit, and he’s got beautiful eyes.

Sock’s plan to cover this up: say that Ben went on a bike ride late at night and has a drug problem. Just then, Ben walks into the room. He’s totally fine, without a scratch on him. He went Jackie Chan on that demon, and now that that’s over, Sock can’t make any rules about the bunny not being allowed inside the house.

Kristen’s new boyfriend is a player. She had planned to give her virginity away, but now her plans to have meaningless crazy sex with just any random person are down the drain. Sock gives her a pep talk, which convinces her to stay pure until marriage. Will he help?

That demon Ben burned is actually a babe. She’s not using him to get to his friend so she can kill him. Probably not anyway.

Andi and Sam go to Townsend’s apartment, where they find crosses all over the walls, sticky notes to avoid gluttony and coveting his neighbor’s wife, and a Gamblers Anonymous schedule. He’s gone, and he will be hiding out on consecrated ground, as a gravedigger.

Kyle XY Season 3 Episode 9

Having bonded over Sarah’s disappearance and death, Kyle finally kissed Jessi in Kyle XY Season 3 Episode 8.

Jessi’s having a dream about killing Cassidy.

Stephen suggests giving Andy a big send off. This leads to a discussion about how Kyle is like Dr. Spock.

Nicole’s not all that surprised by Kyle having feelings for Jessi, even if he is surprised. But them kissing while living there is inappropriate. Jessi overhears this discussion. This can only lead to badness.

Cassidy wants Nate to team up with Kyle.

Cassidy’s got a package in the mail. It’s the news story about the dead hunter from the start of season 2 (before ABC Family killed the show’s ratings).

Kyle understands Nicole’s rules, but Jessi doesn’t get it. According to Amanda, they’re definitely sitting at least two inches closer than they used to.

Now that Nate’s working with Kyle on this project, Jessi can’t be together with him at Latnok either. And they’ll have to leave The Rack now because Josh is tossing them out.

Kyle asks Cassidy why he has a problem with Jessi. He suspects her for poking around in the safe.

Lori knows something’s up with Jessi, who tells her that Kyle kissed her. Lori’s response: “Ew.”

At Lori’s suggestion, they discuss asking Cassidy out to dinner. They can have him eat there. In order to protect them, Kyle doesn’t want Josh or Lori there. Joining in with the others, Kyle doesn’t want Jessi there either.

While they’re working on their project, Kyle tries prying into Cassidy’s background. Nate doesn’t know who he works for. Amanda is happy to see the two of them together, which won’t last long since Kyle solved that project Cassidy has had people working on for months (oh, and Nate may have contributed something).

Josh is preparing to surprise Andy. While he’s doing his preparation, Andy tells Amanda that her moms changed their plans. They’re not leaving in three days. They’ll be leaving in the morning. Completely unaware of this turn of events, Josh has created the perfect Star Trek evening for them, complete with pointy ears.

Jackie and Mark arrive at The Rack and bump into Declan and Lori.

As planned, Cassidy is having dinner with Kyle and the parentals. As not planned, Jessi shows up. She changed her mind.

During the awkward double date, Mark says that Cassidy’s not the boss. So who is? Jackie says Cassidy’s in charge but that they have lots of freedom.

Andy used to dream about Dr. Spock. A little on the odd side. Then she thanks Josh and gets ready to say goodbye, but he doesn’t want to hear it. They’ve got plenty of time to say goodbye.

What Jessi would like to hear about: her mother. Cassidy denies knowing her. It’s Latnok she had… has a problem with. He’s a liar with secrets. With that said, he tells about how she killed the hunter an hour after she got out of the pod. Since there’s hesitation believing in her, she runs out.

Lori continues to pry. Mark thinks something is up, but anyway, he answers that Cassidy creeps him out.

Following the quite fun dinner, Kyle makes plans to meet with Cassidy at The Rack in half an hour.

Josh sneaks Andy into his room. His dad busts him but lets him get away with it.

Nate’s managed to get Amanda back to his room. When he goes to get them some soda, she discovers information about Adam and the boy with no belly button.

Cassidy arrives at The Rack as instructed. He’s greeted by a dark room and the last person he probably wants to see in said dark room: Jessi. Why did he kill Sarah? He might want to consider telling the truth because she could kill him with the flick of a wrist. He claims it was self defense, but Jessi doesn’t believe him, so she returns to inflicting pain in him. Sarah found out about Kyle, and she didn’t approve. Since she’s already a murderer, she might as well take out Cassidy, too. Then Kyle flings his hand and slams her into a wall. She’s dead, and he can’t bring her back. Cassidy wants to get Kyle out of there.

After they walk out, Foss walks in and tells Jessi she can get up now. She slowed her heartbeat down to convince him she was dead.

Before dinner, Jessi told Kyle the one secret she never shared, about the night she killed the guy who was camping. He understood. He always does.

They’ve fooled Cassidy, and he revealed that Latnok is restarting Adam’s experiment.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 19

Claire helped Alex escape in Heroes Season 3 Episode 18. Just as she thought things were going okay, she got a visit Eric, the creepy puppetmaster. Parkman, meanwhile, is standing outside the Capitol with a bomb strapped to his chest.

He’s happier to see Barbie than she is to see him. He wants to go back to a normal life. Rebel sent a fake call, so the agents who were outside are at least distracted for the time being. He claims to be a changed person, and he won’t force her to help him.

A dazed and confused Parkman has now attracted a lot of attention. Nathan arrives on the scene to profess his innocence and blame Danko. Danko decides to activate the weapon and make the hero Senator a martyr to his own cause.

The drugs are starting to wear off, so Parkman’s able to get into the mind of one of the techs. He hears red wire… that would be the one not to touch. How about the black wire? Nathan decides to just pull it, and it’s the right move, just in time to prevent themselves from being blown up. Now it’s time to let the people surrounding them capture Matt.

Sylar’s found dear old dad, who tells him to go right ahead and kill him before the cancer does.

Tracy comes up on the monitor and is screaming that Nathan’s one of them.

Then she gets her own message on the monitors that help is coming.

Nathan goes in to see Tracy. He’s been helping her all along, or so he says. She pretty much still hates his guts. Danko comes in, and it’s his turn to talk to her alone. He wants to know everything she knows about Nathan. So anyway… what’s an ability?

Sandra doesn’t want Rebel sending any more psychopaths to her front door, so Claire decides to take Alex’s job at the comic book store. Despite her lack of experience in retail, she’s got enough experience in getting guys to stare at her to get the job.

Sylar’s dad has some abilities, but he doesn’t seem to have much left in him. He wants to know why Sylar just picks easy targets like he does, yet he runs away from the agents. Meanwhile, he can eliminate the threat that’s in the room with him now (a bunny).

HRG tosses a file on Danko’s desk: Angela Petrelli. He’s worried that Nathan’s on thin ice and is moving too fast.

Claire calls her dad for answers, but she doesn’t know whether she wants to feel better or if she wants the truth, so he doesn’t know what the right answer is.

Then she gets a text from Rebel, who tells her Doyle’s being chased by agents. The chick with the gun points it at him, so he turns the tables and gets her to point at herself. He decides to let her live, and Barbie’s there to meet Doyle as requested.

Danko visits Angela to talk about genetics. He doesn’t believe that Nathan was the misfit who didn’t inherit anything from his parents. As for Danko, she’s surprised he survived that incident in Angola.

Sylar’s dad doesn’t even remember killing his mom. Didn’t matter to him. Thanks to his cheerleader ability, Sylar plans to live forever, which just means he has that much longer to suffer. This is a power his dad wants, though, and all of a sudden his powers are just fine. He flings some arrows at Sylar. His plan is to kill again, but this time he’ll get it right. Too bad he’s no match for his son, who again has a reason to want revenge. The best revenge will be to let him die slowly and painfully of his sickness. Time to go look for bigger game to hunt.

Nathan’s got what he needs to get rid of Danko. The President is eager to meet Danko’s replacement, which obviously will be HRG. Before they can go, though, Danko pulls out his gun, then he shoves Nathan out the window.

Claire gives Eric his new identity. It’s not about him. It’s about her and who she needs to be. So did he mean what he said about how he changed?

Hiro and Ando arrive in LA to find Parkman. He seems to be… a baby. Apparently, they’re his new babysitters.

Danko arrives home, where Sylar is waiting for him. As for Sandy’s normal life, she’s got agents raiding her house, while Claire and Nathan watch from outside.

Dollhouse Season 1 Episode 4

The Dollhouse had to deal with a depressed pop star in Dollhouse Season 1 Episode 3.

Echo and Sierra are eating lunch together. They’re instinctively grouping. That’s not something any memory wiping can eliminate.

Echo’s new assignment is for a bachelor party. She’s not exactly shy. Eventually, she ends up running out of the hotel room and saying the guys hurt her. The hotel worker she runs to wants to give her a stack of cash, $10,000 to get her to not sue the hotel or the guests. As if blackmail is somehow going to help the hotel’s legal stance any. After rejecting this, she knocks the guy down, and she’s in. She now knows the door code to bust in. That makes a little more sense. The client is paying a premium for no kill, so he gets no kill.

What they will be doing, however, is breaking into the other side of the wall, where the high security building will be in a gray hour as they make sure their security system is impenetrable. During that hour, however, it will be completely penetrable. The first step is to blow up the wall.

Then they break into the vault, where they find millions of dollars worth of old stuff: a bunch of stolen art and high quality counterfeits.

Ballard hears a noise and pulls out a gun. It’s Lubov, who wants help (witness protection), and insists he didn’t set him up. Ballard wants to know who the pretty girl, Caroline, is. Lubov got the tip from a man with a Georgian accent, Russian Georgia not sweet home Georgia. They know the two of them have been talking, so Lubov assumes he’s a dead man. If Ballard helps him, he never hears from him again.

Echo and her band of thieves believe they are not technically stealing stolen art. The Turks who controlled Athens during the 7th century granted permission to remove the marble from the Parthenon. Echo suggests they stop speculating who the client is because finding out about a client who doesn’t want to be known is usually is not healthy. One of the guys grabs something, stabs another guy with a sword, and runs out, leaving the others behind. It’s a good thing that Echo’s got reception on her cell phone. She makes a call to Boyd to warn about the double crosser. Then she drops the phone and gets a blank look on her face and asks whether she fell asleep.

Brain mapping requires a very specialized diet: pizza squares, ice cream bites, and beef jerky. Breakfast of champions. Topher also wants some juice boxes.

Echo’s in the middle of a nervous breakdown. A promise of getting a drink doesn’t help. Slapping her doesn’t help.

Boyd demands the bag from the double crosser. Perhaps the gun he’s holding will convince him. He’s either got to turn it over or get shot. Then he doesn’t get paid. Or breathe. He hands over the bag. Boyd shoots him anyway, but not lethally.

Topher tries to call Echo, but she’s not answering. They play back her call with Boyd, and Topher’s pretty sure that she was remotely wiped. How do they undo that? They don’t. Somebody figured out their frequency and hacked into their call, then remotely wiped Echo’s memory, something Topher didn’t believe was possible. He worries that she could go into a coma state, or she could turn into Carrie at the prom. They have to help her because she won’t be able to help herself.

Now that Echo, the original Taffy, is gone, it’s time for Sierra to be programmed to be her.

Before they can proceed, they’ll have to get Sierra over her bruised ego about not being chosen first.

Topher believes they’ve been hit by a gigantic multi-pronged conspiracy.

Boyd wants a map from his captive. As if his life depended on it.

Echo sees a painting of a mountain. When she’s there, her name’s not Taffy.

If Echo’s as good as they say, Sierra doesn’t need to get inside. She just needs a phone.

Conspiracy theories abound, Topher’s decided that the only person he knows who could achieve a remote wipe is dead.

Sierra’s unable to get Echo to answer her phone, and their time’s run out. Finally, though, she realizes she has a phone in her pocket, so she picks up. She’s carrying a vile of resin and a “nozzle thingy” that she can drill with. She will have to drill through the door, spray the resin into the hole, and then drill some more. This should cause the glass in the door to crack, rather than shattering, hopefully avoiding the alarm going off and the resulting armed response. The response she gets is an alarm and the lights going out. This is probably not a good thing. They have 7 minutes until the police respond. Sierra wishes them good luck with the girl.

Echo now has a decision. Get broken or do the breaking. Point the gun at the bad guys and shoot, or else be shot. Rather than taking orders from the maniac telling her to shoot the guards, she stabs him with a needle. The injured guy wants to help her out, so he throws a smoke bomb to allow her to escape without being seen. Boyd arrives to find Echo escorting him out of there.

Lubov isn’t exactly being assisted by Ballard. Instead, he’s being set up. He won’t be able to leave LA by plane, train, or automobile.

Topher has put Echo through every test he could think of, and whatever happened to her in the vault didn’t cause any permanent damage. She’s fresh, with no pesky human evolution bits lingering around.

It must have been Alpha who pulled off the remote wipe. Topher’s not fired. Rather, his security clearance has been increased.

Heroes Season 4 Likely

Despite the series low ratings for this expensive show and the resulting speculation surrounding what that would mean for its future, NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad told THR that Heroes is not considered “on the bubble” for renewal. Additionally, she indicated that Heroes season 4 will be 18-20 episodes, somewhat abridged from a typical season order (the current season is 23 episodes).

Granted, regardless of how much people are talking about Heroes ratings decline, it is still tied with The Office as NBC’s top show among the key 18-49 demographic. Additionally, Day One, the upcoming show about a group of survivors in the wake of a catastrophic global event, may make a good combination with Heroes for a sci fi block.

While this news does not serve as official confirmation of the series receiving a renewal, it sure would seem that it’s unlikely that it will be cancelled.

Lost Season 5 Episode 8

Lost Season 5 Episode 7 was all about Jeremy Bentham (aka John Locke), who ultimately ended up dying at Ben’s hands after mentioning the name Eloise.

Wherever the others are is before the well was ever built. Apparently way before. They are greeted by the mother of all flashes, and the well is back. They just can’t get down it since it’s filled in. Their headaches are gone, and their noses aren’t bleeding. Maybe it’s over. Maybe John did it. Now they’ll wait for John to come back, for as long as it takes.

Three years later, some Dharma members are having an argument, when they spot a hostile on the monitors. This apparent hostile (actually their leader), Horace, has dynamite. They wake up Mr. Lafleur, who bears a striking resemblance to Sawyer.

Horace is wasted, and Lafleur drags him back home. They had a fight about Paul, but before Amy can get any more out, the baby is coming.

Back to three years earlier. They return to Daniel, who’s mourning Charlotte’s death and disappearance. Whenever they are now, that’s where they’re stuck.

Sawyer wants to go back to the beach, and Juliet supports this plan. Miles wants a plan that’s not the same as every other plan. Juliet agrees it’s a stupid idea, but any plan is better than no plan. They don’t get very far before they hear shots and screaming. Dan says it doesn’t matter what they do because whatever happened happened, but Sawyer goes over there anyway. Juliet shoots one of the guys when he draws his weapon on them. Saywer shoots the second. Based on the Dharma jumpsuits, they believe they’re in the 70s or 80s. Before they leave, they have to bury the dead guys and then carry Amy’s husband Paul back. It’s a good thing Juliet knows they’ve got a sonic fence, or Dan’s brain would be fried by Amy willingly letting him walk through it. She steps through just fine (thanks to the ear plugs), but they all collapse.

Back in the future, Amy is in trouble and needs Caesarean. Juliet, who has never had luck delivering a baby on this island, reluctantly agrees to deliver the baby. Everyone turns out okay.

Horace wants to know who the hell Sawyer is. His name is James Lafleur. They call him Jim. He pretends they washed up on a boat. Horace tells them to take a submarine off the island the next morning. He’s not Dharma material.

An alarm sounds, and everybody rushes inside. Richard’s there. The fence won’t keep him out. Their truce, which is now broken, is what kept him out. He wants to know where his two men are. Sawyer wants to go outside and see if he can talk to him, since Horace doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere. He tells the truth. Then he asks about the hydrogen bomb and John Locke. Regardless of who he is, two of Richard’s people are still dead. He offers up Paul’s body.

Horace agrees to let Sawyer stay for another two weeks and look for the rest of his clue. Juliet, however, has been trying to get off the island for three years, and she plans to leave, even if whatever it is she thinks she’s going back to doesn’t exist yet. All Sawyer wants is two weeks, so he’s not stuck with the mad scientist, Mr. I speak to dead people, and the guy who barely speaks English. She agrees.

Three years later, they’re still around, and Sawyer and Juliet have hooked up. Like they had another option.

Horace is a daddy now. It’s a boy. So why’s he drinking and blowing up trees instead of being with his new son? They got into a fight over a necklace in Amy’s drawer. He doesn’t believe she’s over him. Is three years really long enough to get over someone? Sawyer can barely remember what Kate looks like, or so he’s convinced himself.

Jin’s finally found something. Jack, Hurley, and of course the woman Sawyer’s gotten over step out of the VW bus.
