The first episode of Season 3 doesn't pull any punches. We forget all about the hatch when we are reminded, within the first five minutes, of the very first episode of LOST from the perspective of the Others. It's a great but tragic shot of Oceanic Flight 815 breaking into pieces in the sky, but fantastic how fast Ben reacts and assigns Goodwin and Ethan their tasks.
This episode is a "Jack" episode and we are shown that he can't let go of his ex-wife and allow her a divorce. His father tries to help him, but Jack doesn't listen and ends up attacking him and consequently Jack is arrested. Sarah, Jack's soon to be ex-wife, posts his bail and tells him to not worry about who they were, but who they are now, a sentiment echoed by the new Other we meet for the first time in this episode, Juliet.
Juliet seems to be giving Jack some special treatment per Ben's orders. Also, for some weird reason, Ben allows Kate some sense of "normalcy" before telling her that she will enduring two weeks of hell. Meanwhile, Sawyer is stuck in a bear cage. I was right there cheering with him when he figured out how to not get shocked by the machine in his cage and receive a reward. Tom's response that it only took the bears two hours to figure it out and Sawyer's questioning of how many bears it took was some much appreciated humor to a very serious episode. Great start to Season 3!
