This week's episode climbs into the Wayback Machine and opens with a sassy Emily Locke dancing around her room to the strains of Buddy Holly's Everyday. She's getting ready for a date with a man her Mother says is twice her age.

Like almost every other Mother on Lost, Emily's Mom is the domineering type. She has little control over her rebellious daughter though. Emily flounces out of the house as she hurls the age old teenage battle cry over her shoulder.

"You can't stop me! I love him!"

Like Michael, Edmond Burke, Martha Toomey, Mrs. Littleton, Kate (several times), Jack's wife and Shannon's Father, Hurley and even Anthony Cooper, Emily gets up close and personal with the non-backseat area of a car.

She comes around on a gurney in a hospital corridor, attended by several medical personnel. She manages to croak out that she's almost six months pregnant, which changes the scope of the emergency. Within minutes, in true Hollywood fashion, Emily delivers little John Locke three months early with almost no difficulty. The nurses whisk him into an incubator and out of Emily's sight.

I'm having a....waaaaaah!!!! See? That wasn't so bad!

Out in the jungle, Locke, Hurley and Ben are still looking for the cabin so Jacob can tell Locke what his next step should be. When Hurley and Locke both wonder how much farther Papa Smurf, Ben claims to have no clue. He's been following Hurley the whole time.

Did anyone else see the Three Stooges logo flash on their tv screen right then or was that just me?

When it's obvious that none of them have a good idea of their next move, Locke chooses to make camp, figuring a rest will do them good. Instead of a bedtime story, Hurley asks what Locke thinks might happen if and when the "freighter guys" come back to the island.

"I don't know...yet."

Well, John, I'm gonna guess that a naked luau is out of the question...

Who.
The guy on first.
Who.
Why you...

Speaking of the freighter guys, their chopper arrives back on the deck of the ship and unloads several mercenaries, one of whom is severely wounded.

Doctor Ray, alive and well, asks Keamy what happened to the injured man.

"A black pillar of smoke threw him 50 feet in the air... ripped his guts out."

"What?"

I give Ray the TVGasm award for most logical question ever asked on Lost.

Keamy sidesteps Ray's question and heads right over to Sayid. Using his height to make him as intimidating as possible, he demands that Sayid tell him exactly how many people are on the island and where they are.

"And why would I do that?"

I am so not going into the obvious symbolism of the America - Iraq situation here.

When he sees that he can't intimidate Sayid into talking, he turns his wrath on another target, the Captain.

"You gave me up.

"What?"

"Linus knew who I was. He knew my name. He knew everything about me."

"No, I'm not the one who gave you up."

"Then who did?"

Michael!

Captain Gault leads Keamy to a small cabin where he has Michael handcuffed to some pipes. Keamy deals a swift kick to the bunk which pins Michael's leg under it. He then demands to know if Michael was the one who gave Ben his name. When Michael confirms it, Keamy pulls his gun with every intent to execute the spy. For some reason the gun will not fire, which is a relief to Captain Gault since saboteur Michael is the only one who can fix the ship's engines.

If you were the one who told them about the Care Bears poster in my cabin I'll ...
