Everybody gets what they want in this episode.
Jack gets to fix Ben like he wanted and Kate and Sawyer go free. Juliet wants to go home after being on the island for three years, and Ben says he will let her go home for helping Jack. Pickett is killed and even though he probably didn't want to die, he gets to be with his recently dead wife, if you believe in that sort of thing. Alex gets to free her boyfriend Karl, unfortunately Juliet does let her go off the one island with Kate and Sawyer.
This is Juliet's first flashback episode and we learn she's some sort of scientist that deals a lot with pregnancy and research. Her sister who looks like a cancer patient, is pregnant thanks to Juliet's research and tests with an experimental drug. Mr. Alpert, our first introduction to this character, wants her to come to Portland. But he later reveals that his company isn't exactly in Portland.
So let's put the pieces together for a minute. The Other's captured Claire at one point who was pregnant. The took all the kids from the tail section and they took Walt, so they are interested in children. And now thanks to showing Ethan being connected to Mr. Alpert, we see that they are recruiting a pregnancy specialist of some sort. So thinking about the big picture, there must be something going on concerning the island where having babies is involved and it's all getting hinted at in small doses. We'll see how plot element plays out while this show continues to enrich the characters. Great scene between Jack and Kate hearkening back to the first episode when Kate stitches up Jack. I liked the music that played when Kate and Sawyer paddled away, the same tune that plays over and over again when a touching moment is happening, but unfortunately without Jack escaping with them the victory felt incomplete. I guess we'll see what happens next time.
