The first episode of the Season 3 showed us what happened to the main group. Now we get to see what happened to the boat group. Well Sayid in his infinite wisdom, continues to sail against Jin's instructions and they come upon a dock. Sayid lies about it being abandoned and decides to set a trap for the Others. Unfortunately, the Others steal the boat and Sun barely escapes after shooting one of the Others.
Flashbacks take us back to Sun breaking a glass ballerina as a child and lying about it. We also learn that she did sleep with the man teaching her English and is caught by her father who instructs Jin to regain his family's honor. Jin is only told that he dishonored Sun's father; he doesn't know that the man slept with his wife. Jin beats the hell out of the man and lets him live but tells him to leave the country and never come back. A few moments later the man jumps out of the building, killing himself while holding a gift that he attempted to give Sun. I guess he couldn't live without her and the shame.
Overall, it was nice to see what happened with Sayid, Jin and Sun, but I don't really get the glass ballerina reference. The only thing that I can come up with is that Sun isn't as pure as one may have initially thought. We thought she wanted to get away from her asshole husband, but it's apparent that she's no innocent either.
It is unfortunate that they lost the boat. It would have been neat to drive home the point that they are really stuck on the island if they attempted to leave. Plus maybe they could have wrote some adventures that took place without them walking all the time. Oh well, the gang begins their LONG walk back to the beach where everyone else. We'll see how many episodes it takes for them to get back.
