Ben gives Jack a white shirt and asks him to take a walk with him. Jack tells Ben he will die very soon because of the tumor on his spine.

Jack goes with Ben to Colleen's funeral. Later, Juliet comes into his room with a cheeseburger, but Ben interrupts and asks to speak to Jack alone. He tells Jack how they had planned to wear him down and make him want to help Ben. Ben tells Jack that he believes in God because two days after he found out he had a fatal spinal tumor, a spinal surgeon fell out of the sky.

Later, Juliet brings Jack a movie to watch while she tells him that he should help Ben. On the movie is a video of her with big cards that say that Ben is a liar and she wants Jack to let Ben die (Ep: 3x5, The Cost of Living).

Jack looks at Ben's x-rays. He asks Juliet some questions about what she'd written in Ben's file. Jack tells Ben that he needed the surgery yesterday. Ben says he'll give Jack whatever he needs, but Jack says he will not do the surgery.

Juliet brings Kate in and she begs Jack to do the surgery, or Sawyer will die.

A message comes over Jack's intercom that says, "Try the door." He tries the door and is able to open it. He goes to the room with the TV screens and finds a closet full of guns. After taking one, he notices Kate and Sawyer on one of the screens.

Ben walks up behind Jack and tells him that he's surprised Kate picked Sawyer. Jack tells Ben that he'll do the surgery the following day.

While Jack does the surgery, Tom, Pickett, and Jason look on. Pickett and Jason leave and Pickett says that Jack wasn't even on Jacob's list.
