At the beach, a sudden tidal change is threatening to flood the fuselage wreckage and the survivors' entire beach camp. Jack and Sayid help get the supplies out of harm's way and plan to set up a new camp slightly further down the coast, though Jack still thinks its best if everyone moves to the caves. He asks Sayid to take him to Rousseau so that he can ask about the Others, but Sayid thinks Rousseau is insane. They discuss the maps and documents Sayid stole from Rousseau's shack, but the mathematical equations on them are too either too advanced or two nonsensical for Sayid to understand, and parts are written in French. Sayid wonders if some things are best left untranslated, but Jack responds that maybe Sayid should tell that to Charlie, who's been completely despondent since Claire's kidnapping. Boone comments on how Shannon is reading a magazine while everyone else moves the beach camp. Her response is to ask what Boone and Locke have been doing every day in the jungle. Boone claims they're looking for Claire.

As Kate cries over the airplane, Jack puts everything else back in the case, takes it and leaves. That evening, the survivors set up their new beach camp. Charlie asks Rose how she knows her husband is still alive, and she replies that "It's a fine line between denial and faith. It's much better on my side." Sobbing, Charlie asks for her help. Shannon goes to Sayid and tells him that she figured out what Rousseau's notaions mean: they're [[http://www.lostpedia.org/wiki/La_Mer song lyrics]]. Boone watches as Shannon and Sayid sit together, and Jack watches as Kate sits with the toy airplane.

* BlatantLies:
** Kate's claim that the case belongs to her, and her claim that it doesn't matter if Sawyer takes it. Sawyer doesn't believe either claim. She also tells Jack that the guns are the only thing of interest to her in the case; Jack clearly doesn't believe her either.
** During her flashbacks, Kate claims that she doesn't know how to use a gun.



* EveryoneHasStandards: In the flashbacks, Kate is fine with robbing a bank, manipulating her fellow thieves for her own purposes, and killing them in self-defense, but she draws the line when her partner in crime tries to murder a bank clerk.

to:

* ContinuityNod: Sayid is still limping from the injury he took [[Recap/LostS01E09Solitary after getting caught in Rousseau's trap]].
* DramaticIrony: Unaware that she speaks English, Jack and Kate discuss the case's contents in front of Sun, who is visibly worried when she hears that the case contains guns.
* DueToTheDead: Jack reveals that he buried the Marshal [[Recap/LostS01E03TabulaRasa after euthanizing him]], even admitting that he ''needed'' to bury the Marshal, rather than burn his body [[Recap/LostS01E04Walkabout with the rest of the dead]].
* EntertaininglyWrong: Hearing Shannon's seemingly nonsensical translations, Sayid assumes that the notations on Rousseau's maps are the ravings of Rousseau's disturbed mind; a closer inspection by Shannon reveals them to song lyrics Rousseau transcribed onto the maps.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In the flashbacks, Kate is fine with robbing a bank, manipulating her fellow thieves for her own purposes, and killing shooting them in self-defense, but she draws the line when her partner in crime tries to murder a the bank clerk.manager.
* {{Fanservice}}: Sawyer [[ShirtlessScene takes off his shirt]] and Kate [[ShesGotLegs takes off her pants]] for a swim when they find a waterfall.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Jack's [[ToThePain terrifying]] threat to stop Sawyer's antibiotic treatment proves to be enough to make Sawyer give up the case; despite doubting that Jack would be willing to go through with it, Sawyer is quickly convinced.
* HeroicBSOD: Charlie remains in a state of shock after Claire's abduction and his own near-death. With a bit of effort, Rose gets him to open up again and accept that what happened wasn't his fault.
* HiddenDepths: Shannon shows off some singing talent after realizing that Rousseau's seemingly-nonsensical notes were transcribed song lyrics ("La Mer", the French version of "Beyond the Sea").
* ItsAllMyFault: Charlie blames himself for Claire's abduction, and even tells Rose that he feels he should have died when Ethan hanged him. With Rose's help, he comes to forgive himself.
* MoodWhiplash: Kate and Sawyer's pleasant, light-hearted swim takes a dark turn when they find two decaying bodies in the lake.
* OhCrap: Sun is visibly alarmed to overhear from Jack and Kate that the case contains five handguns; [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she quickly grabs the medicinal plant she was showing Jack and leaves]].



* TookALevelInKindness: Shannon starts to get over her ItsAllAboutMe attitude and helps Sayid to translate Rousseau's notes.

to:

-->'''Jack:''' [[LampshadeHanging That was real good sleight of hand, distracting me with the wallet]].
* TookALevelInKindness: StupidCrooks: Jason needlessly admits to Kate's role in the robbery and unmasks himself to the bank manager despite already getting everything the robbers were after, seemingly just for kicks. It gets him shot by Kate and left for the police.
* ToThePain: Jack gives a graphic and very unpleasant description of what will happen if Sawyer refuses to hand over the case:
-->'''Sawyer:''' So, what? We gonna wrestle for it?\\
'''Jack:''' No, you're gonna give it to me.\\
'''Sawyer:''' Am I?\\
'''Jack:''' Yeah.\\
'''Sawyer:''' I'm just gonna give it to you?\\
'''Jack:''' Yeah.\\
'''Sawyer:''' Why would I want to do that?\\
'''Jack:''' Cephalexin.\\
'''Sawyer:''' Yeah, go on?\\
'''Jack:''' That's the antibiotic I've been giving you for the knife wound in your arm. You're right in the middle of a treatment cycle; now, if I keep giving you the pills, you're gonna be as right as rain. But I'm gonna stop giving you the pills. And for two days, you're gonna think you're all good. Then it's gonna start to itch. Day after that, the fever's gonna start to come, and you're gonna start seeing red lines running up and down your arm. A day or two after that... you'll ''beg'' me to take the case, just to cut off your arm.\\
'''Sawyer:''' That's a nice story, Jack, and even if it were true, I don't think you could do it.\\
'''Jack:''' You're wrong.
* TookALevelInKindness:
** Downplayed with Sawyer; he follows Kate into the jungle to watch out for her [[Recap/LostS01E11AllTheBestCowboysHaveDaddyIssues after recent events]], and they enjoy a pleasant swim together. That said, Jack and Kate are alarmed at the idea of him getting his hands on guns, and Sawyer is predictably unenthusiastic about handing the case over when Jack forces him into it.

to:

* BlindIdiotTranslation: In-universe, Shannon's first attempt at translating Rousseau's notes comes across as nonsensical because she doesn't realize it's meant to be a song and is overly literal. Once she recognizes the lyrics, she's able to sing the song in French.
