Sun tries to find her wedding ring, Micheal plots running away from the tailies as they make their way back to the other side of the island. Jin and Mr. Echo watch creepy, hillbilly others walk by. Sawyer starts to feel the gunshot wound more. Libby has a few lines. Flashback is Sun and Jin. Jin gets a job at a hotel as a doorman and it told to not let anyone like him in. Sun is set up with the hotel owner's son. She starts to fall for him and then he tells her he met a woman in America that he wants to marry. At the end, Sun and Jin meet for the first time.
Things I noticed:
Mr. Echo says that the Others don't leave tracks.
We see dead Goodwin.
Jack tells Sun about how he once lost his wedding ring and that he never told his wife, he just replaced it.
Kate shows more emotion here that she thinks Sawyer might be dead with the other rafties than when he jumps from the helicopter or the island moved. She said "I never got to say goodbye".
Sun wears very white, clean pants to garden. She is absolutley gorgeous in this episode.
Beautful end shot of Kate and Sun looking out on the sunset over the water.
Most significant IMHO
Sun gets angry, pulls apart her garden as Locke comes up. He tells her very Zen-like "he was once lost but now he is found and that she will find the ring the way most things are found, when you stop looking". I wonder, forshadowing on how she will find Jin again?
This episode is a good reminder to me of why I love this show. It's almost a "classic episode". Not much is revealed but almost everyone in the cast is used. It is mostly about the relationships they all have with each other. Sure Jack and Kate and Kate and Sawyer. But you remember that Sawyer and Jin had a special relationship, Jin and Bernard, Sawyer and Hurley, Charlie and Hurley etc.
