Ok so I ended up watching the episode last night after all. We learned the source of Jack's tattoos and the weird form of a judicial system the Others have, but not a whole lot else. Here's a summary:- Jack had a relationship while on vacation with a woman who claimed to be some sort of tattoo-fortune teller. For some reason tattooing Jack was against "her people," so after he made her mark him as "he walks amongst us though is not one of us," he was basically kicked out of the country.
- Kate feels guilty about sleeping with Sawyer, he thinks she only did it because she thought he was going to die, drama/tension ensues...
- Everyone the Others have kidnapped (to have a "better" life as Carl says...wonder if that comes from the brainwashing) is healthy and happy. We see them staring at Jack in his cage like he's a zoo animal. One of the flight stewardesses is there and says they came to "watch"...watch what?? The kids are there too, all dressed well and weirded out by Jack yelling at them to leave. I'm hoping they explain what they've been doing all this time someday...
- The Others' law system follows the "eye for an eye" mentality. Juliette helped Kate and Sawyer escape by killing Danny, so she goes on trial where the end result would be her execution. It's obvious Jack cares about her because he agrees to be Ben's beck-and-call doctor in order to save her life. The show ends (with honestly quite a cheesy slow-mo montage) of Kate and Sawyer making their way back to camp and Jack and Juliette boating their way to where the Others live. I wonder if we'll get to see that next week...thoughts??
