Baby Ethan Rom, Juliet takes submarine manifest

In the barracks, Juliet walks over to Amy who is sleeping in a hammock. She picks up the submarine manifest and accidentally wakes Amy up. She asks Amy if there is a full load on the submarine and Amy says that two people dropped out at the last minute because they didn't want to take the sedative before the trip. Juliet picks up the baby and asks Amy if she and Horace had picked a name for him yet. Amy tells her that they named him Ethan, as in Ethan Rom (the mysterious other who kidnapped Claire and was shot by Charlie in season 1). When Juliet hears the name, she is a bit taken aback. She is also a bit shaken when Amy asks her when she and Jim will have a baby. Juliet replies, that she doesn't know and that the time has to be right.

So, Ethan was born on the island and is the son of Horace and Amy. Quite a twist there. So maybe we'll see how he goes from being Dharma baby to being an other surgeon. He certainly seems exponentially less menacing in baby form.

Amy gives up Paul's body to maintain the truce

Amy is sitting by Paul's body in when Horace and Sawyer come in. Horace tells her that to maintain the truce, Richard wants to take Paul's body back with him. She immediately gets distraught and starts to shake her head signaling no. Horace tells her that if she doesn't want to give them Paul's body, then they will "suffer the consequences." She tells Horace that they can take Paul because he would want to keep them safe. She asks for a minute alone with Paul and she uses the time to take an ankh necklace from his neck. An ankh is a symbol of life and/or immortality. The giant statue also may have been holding an ankh (see photos here). As she is leaving, Sawyer apologizes to her.

Horace then tells Sawyer that the submarine will return in two weeks and that he and his crew can stay until then so they can look for their other men.

It would seem that the ankh symbol may be an important symbol in the island's mythology. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it figures into the big picture.

Juliet works for Dharma motor pool, delivers Amy's baby

Amy is in labor in the Dharma infirmary. The doctor says that the baby is upside down in the womb and she needs a Caesarean section, but he can't do it because he is an internist. The baby is two weeks early and Amy was supposed to leave the island and give birth on the mainland like all of their women do. Sawyer goes to get Juliet, who is working in the Dharma motor pool. He finds her underneath one of the vans. By the way, the wrench Dharma logo is a bit too spot on. It's definitley the cheesiest logo so far. Juliet reluctantly goes to deliver Amy's baby and the internist doesn't want her to, buy Amy says she wants Juliet to do it.

While Juliet is performing the Caesarean, Jin, whose English is much better now, comes by to talk to Sawyer. Jin says that he's searched grid 133 today and there is no sign of Locke and the rest of their friends. Sawyer says that they'll move on to grid 134 then and they have to keep looking "as long as it takes." Juliet exits the infirmiry in tears and tells them that both Amy and her new baby boy are okay. Sawyer seems incredibly pleased with a big grin on his face.

So what hasn't happened on the island yet that allowed Amy to give birth to her baby? It seems that Juliet would have realized that Amy was further along than all the other women who died on the island before their third trimester. Also, where did Juliet get her mechanics skills? She can really do just about anything, can't she?

Amy convinces the group to bury the hostiles, tricks them into walking through sonic fence

As Amy is mourning over Paul's body, Juliet and Jin examine the hostiles. Juliet points out that because of the Dharma jumpsuit Paul is wearing, that they are in the 1970s or 1980s. Jin finds a walkie talkie on one of the hostiles. Sawyer tells Amy that he and the group were on a ship headed for Tahiti that wrecked on the island. Amy tells them that they have to bury the hostiles because of the truce, and that they need to take Paul's body home. Jin is convinced first and then Sawyer agrees.

Next we see the group trekking across the island and Jin has Paul's body on his back. Sawyer tells Juliet and Miles to let him do the talking when they reach the Dharma barracks because he is a professional liar. Juliet then screams and Daniel to stop as he is about to walk through the pylons of the sonic fence. Juliet tells Amy to turn if saying "It looks like some kind of sonic fence or something." This makes Amy ask the question "Where did you say your ship was going?" Amy hesitantly agrees to turn off the fence, though when she opens the box on the pylon, she doesn't turn it off but rather takes something out of the box. She tells them that the fence is off but Sawyer tells her to walk through first. A high pitched noise can be heard as she walks through, but she passes through safely. This convinces them that it is off though when they step into it they start violently shaking and fall to the ground. The look on Miles' face in photo 9 is priceless. After they're all on the ground, Amy pulls what appears to be two pieces of cotton from her ears.

So let me get this straight, when the fence is on a lower setting, all you need is cotton in your ears to pass through? It's odd that cotton is all she needed to pass through safely while the others where thrown to the ground. Also, it would seem that the Dharma Initiative and the hostiles/natives had a truce. This makes Charles Widmore's story about leading the people of the island peacefully seem slightly more plausible.

Sawyer and Juliet shoot two hostiles, save Amy

The group hears two gun shots and a woman screaming. They go check it out and find two natives/hostiles/others holding a gun on Amy. Her husband Paul is lying dead on the ground. It seems that Paul and Amy were having a picnic when the hostiles arrived. They put a bag over Amy's head. Miles says to Daniel, "We don't get involved, right?" Daniel replies "It doesn't matter what we do. Whatever happened, happened. Sawyer and Juliet go to save Amy. Juliet shoots the short haired other and Sawyer shoots the long haired one. Sawyer removes the bag from Amy's head and she asks "Who are you?"

"Whatever happened, happened" is another intriguing line from Daniel Faraday. He is a bit out of it right now, so it's hard to know what to believe though. He seems to think he can change something by not telling Charlotte that she will die if she comes back to the island, but they says "Whatever happened, happened." Charlotte's death happened so presumably that can't change, can it?

Also, it would seem that the hostiles/others have had a thing for putting bags over people's heads for a while. This scene was reminiscent of when Kate was captured by Tom and the others.

Miles is also Dharma security, Amy goes into labor

We see Sawyer (Jim LaFleur) retrieve Miles from his home in the barracks. Miles is also wearing Dharma jumpsuit and is a security officer. They go a retrieve Horace who is passed out next to the pylons near The Flame Station. Sawyer takes him home to his wife Amy who is pregnant. She says that she and Horace got into a fight about her dead husband Paul. Amy then goes into labor and Sawyer looks panicked.
