Becoming Sawyer
Bandaged and in his tent on the beach, Sawyer wakes up and sees Kate sitting next to him, reading his letter. She mentions that he beat up Boone and he let himself be tortured and he didn't have the medicine all along. "You want to be hated," she says.Kate points out the bicentennial sticker on the letter. The letter is 28 years old. "This letter wasn't written to you," she says. "You wrote this letter. Your name's not Sawyer, is it?"
Sawyer explains that a confidence man named Sawyer conned his parents in 1976. Years later, when he got into money trouble he became a confidence man and pulled the same scam on a couple.
"How's that for a tragedy?" Sawyer says. "I became the man I was hunting. I became Sawyer."Kate looks sorry for him, and he swipes the letter and yells for her to get out.
Sun's Poultice
Sun smears a poultice on Shannon's chest and she begins to breathe much better. Jack is impressed.
On the beach, Claire wakes to find Charlie packing her clothes. He tells her she's moving. She is excited for peanut butter and he pulls out an empty jar, dips his fingers into it and pretends to lick peanut butter from his fingers. He hands the jar to Claire and she does the same.
Sayid Leaves
Kate talks to Sayid and he tells her that he's leaving because of what he had done to Sawyer. He had promised himself never to do that again, and he couldn't trust himself. He says he will map the beach, and he leaves, despite Kate warning him about the unseen force.
Sawyer takes a lighter to the letter, but before setting it on fire, he closes the lighter and puts the letter in his pocket.
