Episode 12

It's day 21 on the island and while swimming in a lagoon, Sawyer and Kate come across a brief case that had sunk to the bottom. Kate wants it, but refuses to tell her what's inside so he takes it. Meanwhile, Shannon becomes suspicious of what Boone and Locke spend their days doing in the forest because they come back with no food. Boone lies and says they are looking for Claire.

The next day, Sayid asks Shannon to translate Rousseau's notes that were on the maps that he took from her shelter. In the meantime, Sawyer tries to use brute force to open the case because they don't have the key. When he drops it from the top of a cliff it still doesn't open.

Kate tells Jack that there are four guns in the case, so Jack feels compelled to get it out of Sawyers hands. She says they key is in the US marshal's wallet, but Jack buried him after he died. The go dig up the body and Kate palms the key trying not to let Jack think it was actually there, but he catches her and says that they will open it together.

Jack convinces Sawyer to hand over the case and when he and Kate open it in private, the guns are there as well as an envelope with a toy plane in it. Kate confesses, crying that it was from the man she loved and killed. Jack gives her no sympathy.

Shannon ends up realizing that the notes are from a song in Finding Nemo called "Beyond the Sea."

Flashbacks:

In the flashback we find out that Kate once robbed a bank in New Mexico with a group of other guys. She was dating one of them when it occurred. Once the manager takes them to the vaults and opens it, Kate's boyfriend tells the manager that it was all Kate's idea, but when he is about to shoot the manager, Kate grabs the gun and shoots her accomplices. Her boyfriend appears to only be wounded in the leg. Kate tells the manager to open safety deposit box 815 and pulls out a single envelope.

What do you think caused Boone's change in attitude towards Shannon?

OK: I'm a little torn on this because I have an opinion on why, but I think it's probably wrong. I think that he is mad at himself about their relationship, but he is now putting on the blame on her after having that vision about being relieved that she died.

SH: I think that the stress of the island is finally wearing Boone out. It seems that he is beginning to stress out about things more and he is taking it out on Shannon. I also think he may be tired of feeling responsible for Shannon.

What is your impression of Kate after finding out her back story?

OK: I don't really like her all that much. I feel like she hides too much and manipulates people into believing that she has never done anything wrong.

SH: This side of Kate isn't a side that I particularly like all that much. She seems that she is a compulsive liar and that leads me to have trust issues with her. I am eager to learn more about her past and what led her to be the way she is.
