Sayid meets young Ben Linus

Young Ben Linus comes to the security building in the Dharma barracks to bring Sayid a sandwich. Phil, who is on watch, lets him through to bring him the food. Ben tells Sayid that the sandwich doesn't have mustard on it, but he could get him some if he wants it. Ben asks him if he's a hostile and Sayid replies "Do you think I am?" Ben asks his name and Sayid tells him, then asks for his name. When Ben tells Sayid his name, Sayid looks stunned.

Ben seems to hold Sayid in high regard because he thinks that he is a hostile. Ben desperately wants to make the hostiles happy so he can leave the Dharma Initiative to live with them.




Jack get lessons on leadership from Sawyer, Phil gets more suspicious

Jack asks Phil which house is James LaFleur's and Phil points him to the house. Phil tells Jack that LaFleur doesn't like to be called James. As Jack walks away, Phil gets a suspicious look on his face, once again indicating that he does not trust the new recruits, especially the ones that aren't real recruits.

Jack is surprised when Juliet answers the door at Sawyer's house. She lets him in to talk to Sawyer, who is sitting in the living room reading a book. Jack asks him what's going on with Sayid. Sawyer tells him that Sayid is safe for now. Jack asks him "Where do we go from here?" and Sawyer replies "I'm working on it." Jack gets snippy as says "It looks like you were reading a book." Sawyer smiles and says that Winston Churchill read a book every night, even during the Blitz and it made him think better. He says "That's how I like to run things, I think." He continues saying that Jack only reacted to thing and didn't think we he was running things and a lot of people ended up dead. Sawyer tells him that he's going to go back to reading his book and thinking because that's how he saved Jack's ass and he's going to do the same for Sayid tomorrow. As Jack is leaving Sawyer says that he needs to do is get a good night's sleep and to let him do what he does. Sawyer then says "Now ain't that a relief?" and Jack replies "Yeah." Jack really seems relieved to not have to make the decisions right now.

As Jack leaves, Sawyer walks out and exchanges an awkward wave with Kate who is standing by her house. Things are probably going to get tense with the Sawyer, Kate and Juliet triangle in the coming episodes.

I have to say, it was nice to see Sawyer put Jack in his place in this scene. Jack's power on the island went unchecked for way too long.






Sayid is brought to the barracks, locked in a cell

Jack, Kate and Hurley are taking the new recruits photo in the barracks. In the second shot, you can see that Hurley was assigned the job of Chef. The chefs have their own Dharma logo with a chef's hat and utensils (photo 3). Just after they're done with the photo, Sawyer calls Phil on the walkie to tell him they are "coming in with a 14-J." Sawyer pulls up in the van and he, Jin and Radzinksy escort Sayid across the grounds. Sayid once again looks shocked as he sees that Hurley, Kate and Jack are there in Dharma gear.

Sawyer and Phil take Sayid down to a cell in the security building. Sawyer tells Phil to bring him Sayid some food because they are not savages. Before leaving, Sawyer gives Sayid a look and a nod indicating that he should trust him.











Pier and barracks are trashed, Christian helps Sun, smoke monster looms

Sun and Frank arrive at the main island in the outrigger canoe. The walk up the pier which appears to be run down. The lamp posts are knocked over and there is a Dharma barrel in the water. The smoke monster moves the trees a bit like in the first season. This doesn't phase Sun though who keeps moving. They make their way to the barracks that are really run down. Windows are boarded up, Dharma signs are hanging off of the buildings and trees are knocked over. Suddenly, a light comes on in one of the buildings. Christian Shepard slow opens the door and appears to Sun and Frank. Sun asks him if he knows where Jin is and he says "Follow me."

They go to the room where orientation is held and people are given assignments. The building is run down too and the "Innoculations" sign is still up. Christian goes over to the wall where new recruit photos still hang. He finds the one from 1977 which has Jack, Kate and Hurley in it. He tells Sun that Jin is with her friends. He then says "I'm sorry but you have a bit of a journey ahead of you."

The big question here is, why is all of the Dharma Initiative stuff still on the island in 2007. This stuff wasn't here when the others lived there in 2004. Did something that the Losties did by going back to the 1970s change the course of the island's history? Since there are 1970s pictures still on the wall and nothing more recent, it would seem that the barracks may not have been used since the 70s.

Also, why does the smoke monster appear to open the door of the building they are in a just hang out by the door? That was really strange.

























Radzinsky worried about Swan Station model, Sawyer convinces Sayid to say he's a hostile

Sawyer arrives at the Flame Station and he and Jin proceed inside. Radzinsky says that he's worried that Sayid saw the model for the Swan Station and the survey for where they plan to build it. Radzinsky wants to shoot Sayid, but Sawyer says he wants to talk to him first. Jin pulls Sayid out of the storage closet and sits him in a chair. Sawyer tells him to identify himself as a hostile because under the terms of the truce, they can shoot him if he does not. Sayid says that his people do not refer to themselves as hostiles, but that he is one. Sawyer then begins to take him to the barracks, ignoring Radzinsky's objections.

Is the reason Radzinsky is so worried about the hostiles knowing where the Swan Station will be built because it is outside of the boundaries of the truce? Or, does he just want them to know nothing about the purpose of the Swan?
