Kate's Flashback - Blondie
We see a corn field, then a car drives up to a motel. A blond gets out and opens the trunk. She pulls back the carpeting to reveal a bunch of license plates and switches the Nebraska plate with one in the trunk.A family leaves their hotel room and a maid is walking along with a cart. The maid goes into the room next door and the blond woman grabs a towel and shampoo and goes into the hotel room just vacated by the family. She puts up the Do Not Disturb sign and takes a shower. The blond turns darker and we see that she's Kate.
She goes to the office and says that there should be a letter for her. The guy behind the counter asks her name and she says, "Joan Hart." He hands her a letter and then we see the license plate, which says, Ohio: the heart of it all.
Kate reads the letter and cries. She holds a stack of 20 dollar bills.
Arzt
Charlie tells Kate that DriveShaft's albums must have spiked when everybody found that he died in a plane disaster. "When I come back alive," he says, "it's going to be insane!""So you think the raft is going to work?" Kate says.
Charlie is sure that it will and is excited to be "eternally famous". He finds it hard to believe that Kate doesn't want to be famous.
At the raft, people are gathering. "So when is the next time we can launch?" Michael asks.
A guy says, "Three, maybe four months."
Sawyer wants to know why they are listening to Arzt.
Arzt says, "Because I'm a doctor and you're a hillbilly."
"You're a damn high school teacher," Sawyer says.
Jack tells Sawyer to let Arzt talk and he explains that it's been raining every afternoon, which means it's monsoon season. Not a good time for a raft to be out on the water.
Michael asks when they have to leave to beat the monsoon, and Arzt says, "Yesterday."
Later, Kate catches up with Michael and asks if he'll really be ready to leave the next day. He says there is not a day to waste and why is she so interested? "Because," she says, "I'm coming with you."
Michael explains that there are only four spots and they are all filled. Kate tells him that she's a better choice than Sawyer because he doesn't have any boating experience and she spent two summers crewing J boats.
Michael says he made a deal with Sawyer. "For the first raft, which burned," she points out.
She's getting nowhere, so she points out that the raft is too dangerous for Walt. Michael gets mad and tells her the raft is full and then stomps off.
Kate's Flashback - Diane in the Hospital
Kate carries a bouquet of flowers into a hospital and asks a nurse for Diane Jansen. The nurse says she just came up from ICU and gives her the room number.Kate sees an officer sitting in front of the room and she puts the flowers up to hide her face and walks right by him.
Later, a doctor gets into his car. Kate is in the back seat. "Hey, Tom."
At first he's startled, but then he says, "Oh, Katie. What are you doing here?"
She explains that Diane is dying of cancer and she thought she owed it to her to come see her. Tom heard and he's sorry. Kate says she needs his help.
