Season 2: Episode 16

Jin tries to take Sun away from her garden and back to the beach, given her previous abduction from the garden. They have an argument and Jin pulls out all of the plants. She runs to the beach and asks Sawyer for a pregnancy test, which turns out to be manufactured by Widmore labs.

Locke convinces Ana Lucia that given her police training, she should interrogate Henry Gale. Henry repeats the balloon story and draws a map to the balloon, where he had buried his wife. Ana Lucia promises that she'll keep him alive if the map confirms his story. With Sayid and Charlie, she goes in search for the balloon.

As Sun is awaiting for her pregnancy test results to show up, she asks Kate if she has ever taken a test, which she replies that she has. When the test turns up positive, she does not seem too thrilled. Sun asks Kate to not tell anybody.

Ana Lucia tells Sayid that people dislike her and she has been trying most of her life to get them to like her. She says she gave up a while back and that she is who she is. She tells Sayid he has a good reason to hate her. She apologizes for what she did. Sayid says it wasn’t her fault and that once they find out Henry is one of them, something will have to be done.

They find where the balloon should be but it is not there. Ana Lucia insists that they should look some more around the area. Sayid divides the area into three parts and tells Ana Lucia to search as thoroughly as she pleases.

Jin goes and replants the plants he pulled out. He tells Sun he hates fighting like they do and that he hates not being able to understand everyone. He apologizes and Sun tells him she’s pregnant. He’s overjoyed and Sun tells him she needs to tells him something. Sun tells Jin he is the one who cannot have children, not her. He asks Sun how she can be pregnant and she promises she did not cheat. He then helps Sun rebuild her garden. Sun asks if she can stay and work in her garden as Jin wants to return to the beach. Jin bends down and kisses Sun. He tells her he loves her in English.

Jack takes Henry out of the prison and Henry asks him what the computer is for and Jack says it is for nothing. He says he figures getting out is his reward for drawing the map. Locke and Jack are caught off guard since they didn’t know about the map. Henry then "hypothetically" thinks out loud that if he in fact were one of the Others, he would probably lead them into a trap so when Ana Lucia, Sayid, and Charlie get to where the map leads them, the Others would take them hostage and trade them for him. He then mentions that it's a good thing he's not one of them as he nonchalantly asks if they have any milk for his cereal.

Flashbacks:
In their apartment, Sun and Jin are about to make love, when Jin asks Sun if she took her temperature, ruining the mood. He says they've been trying for a year to conceive, and he thinks she should see a fertility doctor. Sun asks why he wants a baby he will never see. Jin says he's sorry for the things Sun's father makes him do and that a baby would change everything. However, when they go to the fertility doctor, he tells them that Sun cannot conceive due to advanced endometriosis.

Sun enters a hotel room to meet Jae Lee, her suitor from before she met Jin. Their conversation indicates the two are regularly meeting to teach English and seek advice on Sun's relationship. She tells Jae that she was glad to learn about her infertility. Sun says that she's leaving Jin for America. Jae tells Sun that she can't run away from her life. Sun asks if Jin is her life and Jae says he's not saying she should stay for Jin.

Sun is walking her dog when the fertility doctor drives by and confesses to Sun that it's actually Jin who can't have children. He tells her this because if Sun's father found out it was Jin who could not have kids, her father would burn down his practice.

Are you happy that Sun is pregnant?

OK: Yes! Sun is going to be such a good mom! She is so sweet and adorable! 

SH: Yes! I think it is just what she and Jin needed to keep their relationship together.

Can we just agree right now that Jin and Sun are the cutest couple on the show?

OK: Even if nobody else will agree I will agree with myself. They are my favorite characters and are adorable and I can't wait for them to have their baby!

SH: I am starting to agree with you Olivia. Now that Jin isn't such a jerk all the time.

Now do you think Henry is one of the others?

OK: I have from the beginning. Can I just say, if he isn't one of the others than he is an IDIOT! You don't just up and say all suspiciously how you would kill their people if you were their enemy!

SH: I know exactly what you mean about him being an idiot if he isn't one of the others. I was screaming at him while watching this episode. However, I do believe he is one of the others. He came here in a hot air balloon? Likely story...

What do you think about the doctor lying about who was infertile?

OK: I think it just represents their culture and how much fear there is. Plus it shows how much of an awful guy Sun's father is that a doctor is afraid of him.

SH: I think the doctor was trying to protect Jin and also protect himself because he knew who Sun's father was and how powerful he is, and didn't want to get on his bad side.
