On the island, a boar raids Sawyer's tent and runs off into the forest with it and some of his things. As he runs to chase it, he hears the forest voices say "It will come back around." The next day, Kate and Sawyer go into the woods to look for the boar and during a drinking version of never have I ever, they reveal that both of them have killed somebody.
The next day they wake up to find that Sawyer's belongings have been destroyed by the boar, but Kate's were untouched. Locke shows up and tells Sawyer a story about how his sister died when he was young and his foster mother blamed herself until a few moths after her funeral, a dog showed up and slept on his sister's bed every night until the day his mother passed away when at that point, it disappeared. The mother believed that the dog was the sister returning to tell her that it wasn't her fault that she died.
Later, Sawyer finds the boar and he points the gun at it, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, he returns the gun to Jack and find's out that a man he met in a bar before the crash was Jack's father.
Flashbacks:
Sawyer has a nightmare about the night that his father killed his mother and himself. You can hear his father beating on the door as his mother tells him to hide under the bed. Then his mother walks out of his room and the dad breaks down the front door and shoots his mom. Then his dad walks into Sawyer's room, sits on the bed, and shoots himself.
In a later flashback, a past associate tells Sawyer where he can find the man that ruined his life and that he is in Australia. Sawyer goes to his shrimp truck with a gun intending to kill him, but can't bring himself to do it. He later goes to a bar where he (unknowingly at the time) runs into Jack's father. Jack's dad reveals that he is to weak to call his son and tell him that he is thankful for what he did for him. Then he tells Sawyer that if he is able to, he should fix the things that are making him feel bad. At this notion, Sawyer goes back and kills Frank Duckett a.k.a. Sawyer. In his dying breath, he whispers to Sawyer that it will come back around.
What do you think "It will all come back around" has to do with Sawyer's story line?
OK: I feel like his life events are one big circle because what ruined his life ended up defining his future and the people and events are all linked to his parent's deaths.
SH: Sawyer is giving what he has got from life, but he doesn't realize that it won't do him any good to continue going through life the way he is now. Instead of learning from his experiences, he has let them ruin him and now he is determined to ruin someone else because of it.
How do you think his sister's death effected Locke's character?
OK: I think that it triggered Locke's system of beliefs up to this point. The beliefs in faith and destiny.
SH: I think Locke has been desensitized to death because of the death of his sister at such a young age. I also think it probably forced him to mature more quickly than if his sister hadn't died.
Were you surprised that Sawyer didn't kill the boar AND gave the gun back to Jack?
OK: I was surprised because Sawyer isn't one to hand precious commodities over to Jack willingly. Plus, I was expecting Sawyer to shoot the boar since he is pretty much based on revenge.
SH: Sawyer is so stubborn I thought Kate was putting effort towards a lost cause trying to keep him from killing the boar, so yes, I was surprised when he didn't kill it. As for giving the gun back to Jack, that certainly is a change in character for the island's pack rat.
Why do you think Sawyer didn't tell Jack about his dad?
OK: I feel like Sawyer doesn't want to talk about how that caused him to go back and kill the man that ruined his life.
SH: Even though Sawyer can appear heartless, I think he knows when there are limits. I feel like he held his tongue in the best interest of Jack, and therefore, for the best interest in everyone on the island, as Jack is a leader and the only doctor.
