John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) is rushed to the hospital after being run over by Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick).[a] Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim) is taken to the same hospital, and upon seeing Locke, she seems to remember him and becomes frightened.
In the police station, James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) interrogates Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly). Kate figures out that Sawyer did not arrest her at LAX because he did not want anyone to know he was in Australia. Miles Straume (Ken Leung) calls Sawyer over about the multiple homicide at a restaurant of Martin Keamy (Kevin Durand) and three of his associates. Miles shows Sawyer a surveillance image, which shows Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) leaving the scene.
Desmond meets Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) while she is on her way to another adoption meeting. Remembering each other from the airport, he persuades her to meet his lawyer for the well-being of her child, and he promises it will not cost her. Upon introducing herself to the lawyer, Ilana Verdansky (Zuleikha Robinson), Claire is told that she has been looking for her. Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) also turns up at the office with his son, and learns that Claire is his half-sister and is also a beneficiary of their father's will. Jack then gets an urgent call from the hospital and has to reschedule.

Jack sneaks away with Hurley, Sun and Lapidus, but Claire sees them and follows. Once they reach the boat, Claire holds them at gunpoint. However, Kate convinces her to join them. Once on the boat, Jack tells Sawyer that leaving the island is a mistake, and jumps into the sea. After swimming back ashore, he sees the Man in Black and the rest of the group are waiting.
On Hydra island, Sun is reunited with Jin and regains her ability to speak English. However, Widmore betrays Sawyer and has artillery shells fired in an effort to kill the Man in Black.
