S4: Something Good Back Home

It's funny to see Kate, Jack, and Aaron living together like a happy family when it is in Kate and Jack's nature to do the exact opposite.  And from what we are presented in this episode, things are nice for a while, but then quickly go to shit when Jack and Kate fight over her actions that she did per Sawyer's request and the simple truth that she's not even related to Aaron.  And Jack, while calling Hurley crazy, has pills in his pocket that he is taking (soon to be abusing per the S3 finale) because he saw his father which is consistent with Hurley seeing Charlie.

On island, I don't yet understand why the writers decided to give Jack an appendix problem, but thankfully and expectedly the surgery is a success thanks to Juliet and Bernard.  Rose posed a good question asking why Jack got sick because in her eyes, and the audience, he shouldn't be.  Maybe the island is telling him that he shouldn't be leaving who knows but he's not supposed to die on island either, right?

Another connection to off island / on island activity, is the infamous Christian Shepard who is not only seen by Jack, but he is also seen by Claire holding her baby and then he and Claire take off into the woods leaving the baby behind which is definitely a head-scratcher to say the least.  I think we'll be seeing them again before the season ends.
