Kate and Sawyer share a secret, kiss and then he jumps

On the helicopter, Frank tries to find the freighter, but it has moved. The helicopter is losing fuel because of the gunfire exchanged at helicopter earlier when Keamy's team battled the others. The losties throw some of the contents of the helicopter into the ocean to make the helicopter lighter, but it's not enough. Sawyer whispers something to Kate, obviously something to do with the secret thing Kate is doing for him in "Something Nice Back Home," and then he sacrifices rescue by jumping out of the helicopter, but not before a kiss goodbye from Kate. Sawyer then starts swimming back to the island.

Check out the second and fifth screens. The visual effects (the blue/green screen shots) in the second shot are just bad. In the fifth screen, the stunt men/stand-ins are really awful, especially the ones in the helicopter. It looks like the guy sitting in for Sayid is white. A lot of the visual effects in the finale were below par for Lost which was disappointing, though I know the filming of the post-strike episodes was rushed.
