At first I thought we were in a Jin/Sun flashback, because the beach looks like a proper campsite all of a sudden, with tents and everything, plus their hair looks a lot longer than usual. But no, it’s the island. I guess the materials came from the hatch? Hurley emerges from the tent next to theirs and gives Jin a smirky thumbs up. Methinks Hurley was awakened in the night by the thunderous bleats of passion emanating from Jin’s House of Nasty.

On a slightly less sexy note, Sayid is digging a grave for Shannon. It seems odd that he’d choose a site so close to people’s tents. Down in the hatch, Jack is tending to Sawyer, who asks after Kate, and then proclaims his love for her. He’s practically unconscious, though, so I suppose we could take that with a grain of salt. The lady in question is in the jungle picking mangoes. A horse suddenly appears! The exclamation point makes it seem more exciting. But really, polar bears, crazy French chicks, secret hatches…what’s a horse here and there?

It must be important on some level, though, since it sends Kate into flashback mode. She’s playing with a lighter and sitting on a stoop, waiting for a guy who shows up drunk in a pickup truck. He leans into her kind of inappropriately, which here is a good hint that he’s probably her dad. As she gets him into bed, he gets cruder and cruder, asking her if she’s going to take his pants off. She leaves on a motorbike, and the house explodes into flames behind her. Ha! Kate finally did something awesome!

She heads into a diner, where the sassy, no-nonsense waitress is her mom. Her arm is bandaged, and though she tries to say it was an accident in the kitchen, Kate knows that her husband beat her. This obviously isn’t the first time, and also obviously Kate just killed the wife beater who did this. Kate doesn’t outright tell her mom what she did, but pretty much foreshadows the hell out of what her mom’s going to find when she gets home later. Kate hands over an insurance policy she bought for the house and hustles out of the diner with her mom yelling after her. It seems somewhat single-minded of Kate to blow up the entire house just to kill her dad, but I suppose that fits with the character.

Back in the hatch, Jack and Kate discuss who’s going to go to Shannon’s funeral and who’s going to watch Sawyer/reset the button. Kate obviously wants to stay with Sawyer and Jack obviously wants to prevent any alone time between those two. Jack ends up leaving, and we cut to Eko and Ana, another island couple of sorts. She’s doing something aggressive with a rock and a stick (what else would she be doing?) and he apologetically tells her he’s going to the funeral. Eko says he thinks most people know Ana murdering Shannon was an accident (and implies she’s forgiven), and there we have the first patently stupid thing he’s said.
