The con man gets conned in this episode. Ben sees that Sawyer is not just a thief - he's a smart thief, a sentiment which is echoed in a flashback while Sawyer is serving time. So Ben decides to earn Sawyer's respect.
When a failed escape attempt by Sawyer is foiled by the smarter Ben, he knocks Sawyer out and makes him believe that they put a pacemaker inside of him set to go off if his beats per second gets too high. Ben later reveals his con and shows that escape is futile since they are on another island about twice the size of Alcatraz.
Back on the other island, Desmond is shown to have some sort of ability to see the future. He builds a lightning rod and saves Claire, Charlie and the baby from a lightning strike. His new found ability to see the future was hinted at when Locke gave his big speech about finding the others. At the time of this episode, it's unclear where Locke is.
Other reveals of note: Sawyer has a daughter who he made a savings account for her when he got compensated for helping in a police investigation by playing informant while incarcerated. Jack happens to see x-rays of a 40 year old man's back who has a tumor and asks Juliet who he's there to save. Of course, she never answers him, and we are left to wonder until next time.
