Juliet sits on the beach, clutching a zippered case of some kind. She looks like she's contemplating something. Finally she heads indoors, passing Ethan on her way to the end of the hall. Assuming that Ethan is still dead and buried on Island 1.0, this must be a flashback.
In the room Juliet enters, a woman in a head scarf sleeps beside a nightstand that holds a familiar looking octagonal symbol. She wakes up when Juliet sits down on her bed and fills a syringe from a familiar looking medication bottle that was in that case she was carrying. From the light but serious banter between the two women, we get the sense that this isn't an evil scientist/victim relationship. Of course, Ethan and Claire had some banter between them and we all know how that turned out. Oh, wait, no we don't.

The mystery woman wonders if Juliet is hesitating because she's worried it won't work or because she's concerned that he will find out. The needlephobic out there all turn away at this point. The needle is for the mystery woman's belly, reminiscent of the injection that Ethan gave Claire back in the Staff Station. Once the injection is over, we find out that Juliet is the mystery woman's sister. So, probably not an evil scientist/victim relationship. We also find out that the two women aren't in one of the hatches on the island, but in Miami.

Back in one of those hatches on the island, Ben's heart rate monitor is working overtime as he bleeds out of that incision Dr. Jack made in his kidney sack three months ago. Juliet watches calmly as Jack takes control of the operating room and, apparently, the whole situation. The final scene from the end of the first half of the season replays, just the way we remember it. Jack gives Kate instructions to get away and radio him when she's safe. To be sure that it isn't a trick, he gives her a way to confirm that she's really ok, by telling him the story that he told her they day they met. It's great to see Jack effectively take charge this way. It's also great because we can pretty much count on his screwing it up somehow.

"Kate, dammit, RUN!" he shouts at her through Danny's walkie. Fortunately, it's Kate and Sawyer on the other end of the walkie and not, say Charlie and Claire. Both of the Island's Most Wanted have enough ass kick left in 'em to overpower their captors and take the upper hand.

Back in the O.R., Tom instructs Juliet to stop the bleeding and stitch Ben up. According to Jack, she isn't qualified. Maybe she isn't. Of course, maybe she is.

Returning to the cage match, Kate's captor is down and out, but Danny's got some fight left in him. That's just fine with Sawyer. Remember what happens when you press the big knife and fork button three times? So does Danny.

Shocking.
