Season 2: Episode 8

Realizing that Ana Lucia shot Shannon, Sayid pulls his gun on her, but Eko knocks him down. While they struggle, Ana Lucia knocks him out and ties him to a tree. Meanwhile, Eko walks Sawyer to the other camp for medical help. Ana Lucia Michael must go to his camp and return with a pack that has medicine, food, water, and clothing because she plans on surviving in the jungle on her own.

At the hatch, Kate and Jack take care of Sawyer and get him to take antibiotics. When Jack and Locke learn what happened to Shannon and Sayid, they demand that Eko take them to their location, but Eko refuses saying that Ana Lucia made a mistake. Jack recognizes her name from before the flight and Michael returns with her demands. Eko agrees to take Jack only, as long as he brings no guns.

After the rest of the tail survivors follow Jin to the other camp, Ana Lucia and Sayid are left alone. She begins to interrogate him and eventually relays the story of how she was shot while she was a cop. Only she tells Sayid that they never found the man who shot her. Ana Lucia cuts him loose and hands him the gun, telling him to take his revenge. He refuses, saying what good would it be to kill her if they are both already dead?

The episode ends with everybody from the tail end reuniting with the main group, including Jack and Ana Lucia.

Flashbacks:

Ana Lucia is an officer of the LAPD who was shot by a burglary suspect. After recovering, she has trouble dealing with the stress of being back on the street. When she learns that the person who shot her is in custody, she looks at him and says that it's not him; he is released. She then follows him that night and confronts him in an empty parking lot. She says his name and he asks if he knows her. She says "I was pregnant", and shoots him multiple times.


What do you think about Sayid not taking the chance to kill Ana Lucia?

OK: I think it shows that Sayid is truly a good guy who has been hurt beyond relief. Even then, he takes the high road.

SH: I think it shows that he understand that Ana Lucia made a mistake, and that even though he wouldn't admit it, he forgives her.

What do you think will happen with Jack and Ana Lucia?

OK: I feel like there is going to be some conflict, but also a possible relationship??

SH: If they end up in some kind of love rhombus... (Because Sawyer and Kate and Jack and Ana Lucia)... I swear I am done with this show.

Were you surprised Ana Lucia was a police officer?

OK: Nope. I originally thought that she was a soldier so when I found out she was a cop I wasn't surprised. I'm very good at noticing that type of personality in a person.

SH: I can't say that I guessed it, but with the foreshadowing provided it wasn't a shock to me.

Your reaction to Ana Lucia's past situation?

OK: I am beyond conflicted about Ana Lucia. I want to like her, but she killed Shannon. Her past makes me really sad and I don't really like to think about it. I just need to see a little more.

SH: I don't like her. (I'm beginning to realize that I am a person who is full of hate.) The show gives us explanations for her behavior but not reasons for her behavior to be excused. Man, am I a broken record or what?
