Lost Recap: Left Behind

Kate, fresh off being caught (in The Man from Tallahassee), sees that her best girlfriend, Juliet, is coming to check on her. So she does what any sane woman does. She grabs a pool cue and gets ready to kick some serious butt. Unfortunately, all she does is make Juliet mad. Really mad. Juliet completely whoops Kate, and drops the sandwich on the floor too. That sucks. And worst of all, it sends Kate into a flashback.

It's a good one though. Way back when, while Kate was on the lam (at least, before she got to where she is now, since she is still technically on the lam), she wanted to see her mom. Sure, her mom turned her in and all, but her mom is her mom. So she was trying to figure out how to do it. And that's when she met this nice lady named Cassidy. You might remember briefly seeing Cassidy from Every Man for Himself, where she had a brief thing with none other than Sawyer.

Now Kate doesn't know this - she just knows that both she and Cassidy have been betrayed, and so they decide to join forces for a while to see if they can help each other out. As it turns out, Cassidy does help Kate get to see her mom, but her mom's really not any happier about how things turned out (that whole blowing up her dad thing, you know) and so Kate just has to run again. But it does show just how intricately woven the tapestry of these people is.

Back on the island, Kate wakes up to find that she is now handcuffed to Juliet! How could things get any worse? Well, it seems that neither of them has the key, so that's a start. So they start making their way through the jungle, and Juliet tells Kate how she was left behind as well, and they thought it would be cute if they hooked the two of them together. Eventually the two women end up back at the camp, and everyone is gone - everyone except Jack and Sayid anyway, and they all decide that since everyone is gone, they better go back to the beach. Kate doesn't like the idea, but Jack says that since Juliet was left behind, they're taking her back with them and that's that.

At said beach, it seems that there's a mutiny afoot. Hurley has told Sawyer that the whole lot wants to banish him, so he really needs to clean up his act. So Sawyer needs to spend the next couple days (before they actually hold the vote) trying to kiss babies and make nice - just like a politician. He even has a pig pickin'.

It works great, and everyone suddenly loves Sawyer. Until he lets it slip that they need to remember this and make sure that they don't banish him during their vote. Then they tell him that they have no idea what he's talking about, and Sawyer is furious with Hurley for putting one over on him.

In the end, though, Hurley manages to defuse the situation by saying that the people need a leader with Jack gone, and Locke gone, and Sayid gone and the way that Sawyer has been acting has been perfect. He can be the new leader because everyone has been looking up to him anyway, and now that he's nice, it's just peachy. Sounds to me that Hurley already has the job.
