When I see the title of this episode, my mind always drifts to Sawyer being somewhat of a "cowboy" and this episode being about him, but this episode isn't about him at all. This is a Jack episode.
While this episode delves into the troubled relationship between Jack and his father pre-island, we see an on island Jack committed to not giving up and trying against all odds to find Claire and Charlie who have somehow been captured by Ethan, a man who has been on the island for a long time now and was NOT part of the plane crash.
Thankfully Jack finds Charlie hung from a tree and despite Kate's attempts to stop him he does not give up trying to save his life. He pounds on his chest trying to jump start his heart while dramatic music plays. It's a very powerful scene showcasing that Jack is the man he is today largely because of his father, for bad and for good.
The big reveal in the final scene of this episode is what Locke and Boone stumble upon - the hatch!
