So we finally find out why Kate is on the run in the first place! She kills her father, who she thought was her step father for a majority of her life. When she finds out he is her biological father she kills him because she can't stand knowing a part of her is from him. Anyhow, as she is being taken into custody for murder a black horse causes the car she's in to crash, allowing her to escape. This is the same black horse she sees in the jungle! So, basically throughout this episode she is trying to sort out feelings about her life and is going a little bit crazy. She expresses her feelings that Sawyer reminds her of Wayne, her father/step father, and that's why she is afraid to have feelings for him. This is also why she imagines Sawyer being taken over by Wayne's ghost.
In other news, Shannon's funeral is held and Sayid is still broken up about her death. It's quite sad. Locke shows Michael and Eko the video from the DHARMA initiative and Eko admits that he knows more. He eventually shows Locke a book he found that contains frames of the video that have been cut out. They insert the frames in the proper spot and re-watch the video to find out that the part about not using the computer to communicate with the outside world is emphasized and a previous incident is foreshadowed. Of course something is going to happen because while on his shift Michael receives a message on the computer and the episode ends as he finds out it is Walt trying to communicate with him.
What do you think about Mr. Eko talking about the difference between coincidence and fate?
SH: He reminds me so much of Locke when he brought that point up. Also the way he handles the island's security system creature beast black smoke thing reminds me of Locke. It is too easy to draw parallels between the two for me.
OK: I agree they are incredibly similar. I think Eko has the same faith that Locke does which is why they react similarly to the island.
Comments about Kate killing her father / former step-father?
SH: Her reasoning didn't make sense to me. She was explaining to her father (the one she thought was her biological father) that she was upset that she wasn't told who her real father was. Then when she was talking to Sawyer she said she killed her real father because she knew that since he was a part of her that she could never get rid of the evil part of her given to her from him. It doesn't make sense to me because she just did something that would make her evil side take over.
OK: I think it was because he was beating her mother. She wanted to get her mother out of that situation, but as for who she thought was her biological father that part confused me too.
Do you think Kate would be different had she not found out the truth about her father? (Nature vs. Nurture)
SH: I think she would have based on her reasoning. She says that she will always have an evil side because of her true father. I think maybe she wouldn't have killed her father, but she would have gone down a bad path. The way she acts on the island is my evidence because she doesn't have anyone to run from on the island but she still acts as a pathological liar.
OK: I think she still would've killed her father because of what he was doing to her mom. I feel like Kate felt the need to get rid of that situation whether she had known he was her biological father or not. Plus I agree that on the island she is still very manipulative and a compulsive liar.
