S5: LaFleur

It's Sawyer's turn in the spotlight in the episode titled "LaFleur".  LaFleur means the flower and Sawyer used it sound Croatian to match with his story that he told Horace, leader of the Dharma Initiative.  Horace bought it and Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, Miles, and Daniel were allowed to stay two weeks and then leave on the sub from the island.  But as it appears, they don't leave, they join Dharma and three years later, Jin brings Sawyer some people that he found - Jack, Kate, and Hurley.

When Locke set things right with the donkey wheel, Sawyer and friends flashed one more time, but it felt different.  Their bodies could feel that the flashes had stopped and their headaches and nose bleeds were gone. They were in 1974.

While heading back to the beach, the group sees an altercation and they intervene.  In doing so, that sets forth the events of them eventually becoming part of the Dharma Initiative.  At one point, there was a really cool scene with Richard and Sawyer.  Sawyer aka LaFleur is the head of security and seems to be settled and integrated into his new life on the island in Dharma.  Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for us, things aren't going to stay normal for much longer.

The great part of this episode was Sawyer's speech to Horace about three years being long enough to get over someone.  Will his future actions match his words?  I really enjoyed the payoff of this episode with that scene and the reunion scene at the end.
