Hurley tries to take Libby on a picnic, but forget drinks and blankes. Libby goes to the hatch to get them. Ana-Lucia wants to kill Henry Gale, but can’t bring herself to pull the trigger. Michael offers to do it, so Ana-Lucia gives him the gun and combination. Michael then shoots Ana-Lucia, killing her instantly, then shoots Libby twice when she surprises him. He then releases Henry Gale from the armory and shoots himself in the arm. Eko has a strange dream telling him to help Locke find the “question mark”. Jack, Locke, Kate and Sawyer arrive at the Swan bunker to find a wounded Michael claiming that Henry Gale did this before escaping. Libby isn’t dead, but Jack says she won’t live long. He tells Sawyer and Kate to get the heroin from Sawyer’s stash. Eko arrives at the bunker and recruits Locke to track Henry Gale down.

Locke puts his map in the Pearl’s pneumatic tube. Kate and Sawyer arrive at the beach and retrieve the heroin from Sawyer’s stash under his tent. Outside Hurley finds them, and they take him to the Swan. Jack injects Libby with the heroin, and she regains conciousness long enough to say “Michael!” before dying. Michael insists that only he, Jack, Hurley, Kate and Sawyer can go to rescue Walt. Eko tells Charlie that he’s stopping work on the church, and is staying in the Swan bunker now. Charlie gives Claire a box of vaccine he found on the supply drop, and he throws all the remaining heroin-filled statues into the ocean. Michael tells Sayid that he can’t come with them.

November 27, 2004 (Day 67) - Sayid, Sin and Jin see the remenant of a strange statue: a sandalled foot with only four toes. Locke and Desmond create a lockdown and seal Eko out of the button room. Eko races to the beach and enlists Charlie to help him get back into the bunker. Charlie leads Eko to the dynamite left over from the attempt to blow up the hatch. Kate notices that they’re being followed, and she and Sawyer open fire on a pair of Others. Sawyer kills one, but the other one gets away. Jack reveals that it doesn’t matter because Michael was already working with them. Michael confesses his involvement, including the murders of Ana-Lucia and Libby. Hurley wants to go back, but Jack tells him that if they do they might all get killed. Jack says that he has a plan. Jin sees the rock Michael described. Sayid goes ashore and investigates the Others village. It’s a fake, nothing is there, and the bunker is fake as well. Eko detonates the dynamite against Charlie’s cautions. The blast door is undamaged, but a fireball sweeps through the hallway. Michael leads Jack and everyone to a large clearing that has the exit from the Pearl’s vaccuum tube. Hundreds, if not thousands of unopened messsage tubes litter the ground. Sawyer finds and gives Locke’s map to Jack. Sawyer sees the black smoke of Sayid’s signal, but it’s miles away. The group is attacked by blowdarts and captured by the Others. Desmond goes through the printout and discovers the system error message from September 22, 2004. He tries to convince Locke that the button is real. Jack, Michael, et al are taken to the Pala Ferry dock, where Henry Gale shows up in a boat with Walt. Charlie finds Eko, he is alive. Desmond releases the lockdown and the timer hits zero. The room starts to shake, and metal objects start flying towards the electromagnetic anomaly. Desmond gets the shutdown key.

Desmond turns the System Termination key, and the light and noise fade. Miss Klugh releases Hurley and tells him that his message to the Oceanic survivors is that they are never to come here.

Ben is surprized by this and tells Colleen that he wants the boat. Sayid, Sun and Jin set up a trap for the Others when Sayid realizes that their friends must have been captured. Juliet continues to try and get Jack to trust her. The Others, with Pickett in charge, make Kate and Sawyer break rocks all day. Alex hides in some surrounding bushes and whispers to get Kate’s attention. She wants to know if Kate has seen her friend, Karl, in the cages, but Kate hasn’t. At night the Others sneak on board to take the sailboat, resulting in Sun shooting Colleen. Mr Friendly succeeds in stealing the boat, leaving Sayid, Sun and Jin behind on the beach with no transportation. In order to gain Jack’s trust Henry Gale reveals his real name to Jack and informs him how much time has gone by since the plane crashed and that they have contact with the outside world. He proves it with a video of the Red Sox winning the 2004 World Series. Meanwhile, on the other side of the island Locke wakes up in the middle of the jungle, and then he and Charlie search for Mr. Eko.

Jack knows that it Ben is the one with the tumor, and he tells Ben that he doesn’t have long to live. Ben wants Jack to consider operating on him to remove the tumor.

Eko has an encounter with the monster in the jungle, but it disappears when Locke arrives at the scene. At the Pearl Station, Sayid gets one of the TV monitors to work. A man with a patched eye appears on the screen, places his hand over the camera and destroys the signal. Juliet gives Jack a secret message in a home-made video tape. She warns Jack against Ben and wants him to “accidentally” kill Ben during his spinal surgery. Eko is killed by the monster in the jungle. Locke decides to bury him there, and goes to get shovels and Eko’s “Jesus stick”. Jack refuses to operate on Ben. Juliet asks Kate to try and persuade Jack to do the surgery, or else Pickett will kill Sawyer. When Jack learns that’s why Kate is asking, he still refuses. Kate slips out of her cage and bashes open the lock on Sawyer’s cage. Sawyer tells her they’re on a small island and there’s nowhere to run. Kate and Sawyer have sex. Someone lets Jack out of his cell and he sees Kate and Sawyer on the monitor. He tells Ben that he’ll do the surgery first thing in the morning, just get him off this island.
December 3, 2004 (Day 73) - As soon as Ben is under anesthesia and Jack begins the operation, Picket drags Sawyer out of his cage and prepares to execute him in front of Kate.

He tells Kate to tell him the story he told her from their first meeting once she’s safe. Kate and Sawyer escape and they are aided by Alex. Alex helps hide Kate and Sawyer, while Jack continues to hold Ben in a hospitol hostage situation. Jack confronts the Others with the information that Juliet wanted Ben to die on the operating table. After Ben tells Juliet to help Jack’s friends escape in order to get Jack to finish the operation, Jack finishes the removal of the tumor. Kate and Sawyer help free Alex’s boyfriend Karl in a trade to get Alex’s boat. As Kate and Sawyer are begining to leave the “Alcatraz” island, Danny Picket threatens to shoot them. Juliet shoots Danny, and tells Alex that she can’t leave. Kate Swayer, and Karl leave the island in Alex’s boat, and Jack finishes the surgery.

THE WYNN BROTHERS BAND - 1/13/07
by Jason Coon
Age: 33
I smelled puke in the parking lot as I exited the car. I glimpsed a groping couple in-between a coupla pick-ups. It was nice out for January. Not cold, not hot, not humid, just like baby bear?s porridge. Just right. The marquee?s oddly bright light was out of place amongst the old-school, oddly-curved strip mall.
The Copper Rocket. Beer lives here. And smoke, lots of smoke. And music: guitars picking reverberations and swishes outta the air, drums belching out a studded heartbeat, lyrics repeated for the hundredth time since their origin in the back of a drunken mind. The exterior of the bar belies its nestled, wooden, pub innards.
The place is filled, as the opening band, country boys to the last, explode into a song. I have no idea who they are. Their twang and strum and yelled hick rebellions get my head going, nodding slight approval. They last two more songs, ten more minutes of trying to be like the Cash they want to remember, the Jennings they?ve never seen. It doesn?t suck.
A quick pack-out/pack-in and the buzzed thrall is ready to go. The song out of the gate is, as always, ?The Weight.? Yes, I take the load off and put it right on them. They can handle it. The dirty south filtered through the American Venn diagram of country, western, and folk. The band flings around heavy, rhythmic Allmanesque Skynyrd riffs as if it were easy, yet occasionally grates with Rusted Root vocals. They reach a little further and find something more honest. A new song. A little Nawlin?s funk mixed with Grease-y Newton-John backup vocals that lick my lips as the lead guitar sings gin-flavored exuberances. They had me at ?Hey there.?
