So this week we're dipped back to basic flashbacks, and they are Juliet's. The present day Juliet has teamed up with Jack to find the missing Faraday & Charlotte who have disappeared. While searching their trail (what, has every one had some sort of Crocodile Dundee mystic tracking class that I don't know about?) in the rain, a very wet and snarky lass sneaks behind Juliet. Juliet knows her from her days an other. The snarky other as it turns out was Juliet's therapist and the wife of her lover Goodwyn. (The guy killed by taily Ana Lucia, who was later killed by Michael). She has been sent by Ben to order Juliet to kill Faraday & Charlotte before they unleash the toxic gas (located in a station known as The Orchid) and kill everyone on the Island. Ben sees the snarky other, but the only explanation Juliet gives him is that it's very stressful being an other.
Kate (on her way back to the beach from the barracks where she has been banished by Locke for her Scooby-Doo like shenanigans) runs into Faraday & Charlotte. When it becomes apparent that Kate sees they're lying Charlotte knocks Kate over the head. Juliet & Jack find her a half hour later, and Juliet ditches them both to stop Faraday & Charlotte on her own.
Th flashbacks reveal that Ben was in love with Juliet. In that sick obsesses way sociopaths fall in love i guess. After Ben figures out that she's in love with Goodwyn, he sets him up to be killed by Ana Lucia. He takes Juliet to the body and lets her know that she is his.
Juliet reaches the station and tries to stop Faraday from setting off the gas, but then Charlotte explains that they're trying to dismantle the system so that Ben cannot use the gas against them, or anyone else on the Island. They succeed, and everyone is safe, for now. Juliet realizes that she's been had by Ben again. She tells Jack that by being with her, he's in even more danger. They kiss. Is it just me or do they have NO chemistry?
This Weeks BIG reveal:
Meanwhile back on the barracks, Ben has sweet-talked his way into Locke's good graces, sort of, at least out of captivity. He has revealed to Locke that the person behind the freighter is none other than Charles Whitmore. That's right penny's father. That's right, Desmond's Penny.
Next week: Ben's man on the boat is going to be revealed, I think it just may be Michael...
