"I Do" Recap

All right I think the episode "I Do" was one of my favorite episodes of Lost I've ever seen. I'll give you a little recap. Well it's not that little. IT'S BIG
"I Do" is Kate-centric. Flashback scenes are surprisingly little in the episode. We find Kate living in Florida under the name of Monica, Married to a police officer. She calls Edward Mars and asks him to stop chasing her. The Mars makes her a deal, if she can settle down... he'll stop chasing her, it is possible that he may know a little more about her than we do. She breaks down crying at the negative result of a pregnancy test. She seems sad, but maybe that sadness is at the relief she felt when she saw the result. Shortly after she drugs her husband; confessing to him as he falls asleep both her fugitive status and the sense of wierdness she feels trying to be the "good wife". She loves him, but has regrets over trying to be what she is not.
In real-time island, Jack goes over test results with Ben and Juliet. He tells Ben he has a week to live, Ben is ready to do the surgery. Jack tells him he isn't going to do it. Ben is disappointed at Jack. ( Of Course I wouldn't want to die.)
We get a glimpse of the Pearl station party from last week covering up Eko. Locke blames the death on another polar bear. But Locke tells Sayid that the monster killed Eko, which Sayid doesn't seem to believe in for some reason. On the upside, Locke expressing to Sayid that the monster may be what brought them to the island.
The interesting reveal begins to arise when Kate and Sawyer are brought to work breaking rocks. First, Alex shows up and attempts to rescue Kate and Sawyer, she tells Kate they will kill her boyfriend like they did Alex's. (Carl?) Next is a scene with Juliet arriving and talking to Danny aka Pickett. Pickett says it was supposed to be two weeks, Juliet says their schedule has been moved up. Pickett asks, "Because of her?". Juliet replies "Because of him."
Juilet then takes Kate to see Jack. Kate tells Jack he must do the surgery or they will kill Sawyer. Jack is furious.Jack is mad and tells Kate to leave. We cut away to Ben watching this on the monitors.
Eko's burial is in the jungle. Only Locke, Sayid, Desmond, Paulo, and Nikki are there because Locke says the people at the beach have seen to much death. Locke starts thanking Eko for restoring his faith. He places the Jesus-stick as Eko's tombstone. The final interesting piece to this scene is Locke seeing the inscription "Lift up your eyes and look north." Locke sees this as a sign.
Kate goes into Saywer's cage and tells him to run. After Sawyer tells her that there is no escape, she gives in. She starts to cry and kisses Sawyer. Then they uh... do it. *Eww* Well this is a emotional moment.
Jack receives a mysterious message through his intercom: "Try the door." Sure enough, it's open. He finds a little armory closet, gets himself a gun, and goes down the hall where he finds the monitor room. He sees Kate laying in Sawyer's arms. He turns around to face Ben who taunts him over Kate's choice. He puts the gun on Ben and tells him he will do the surgery, but he wants off that island. Ben says "done". Later, as the surgery starts, something very interesting happens. Pickett leaves with one of his henchmen and makes the comment that "Shepherd wasn't even on Jacob's list." WHOA! Who the heck is Jacob?
So the surgery seems to be going along fine when Jack pulls out the biggest weapon. Jack cuts Ben's kidney sack. Ben's heart rate increases, and his blood pressure starts to drop. Jack knocks out one of his assistants and calls down Tom a.k.a Mr.Friendly. Jack tells Tom that Ben will bleed to death in one hour unless he saves him. If they want that to happen, they are going to let Kate (but not Sawyer) go.
Meanwhile, Danny and Henchman are about to kill Sawyer when Tom calls through and tells them to give the walkie talkie to Kate or Ben is going to die. Jack tells Kate to run, and says when it is safe he will radio her and ask her to tell him the story he told her when they first met. Interestingly enough, she refuses to leave without Jack.



Jack Screams "Damn it Kate! RUN!!" We cut to black. LOST. Well Lost will return Next year in February. But we are not leaving you. we got stuff planned and we'll see how everything works out!
