Kate is staying in room 752

Officer Kevin

Backstory. The episode opens looking at the back of a woman's dark hair. An elevator door in front of her opens and she steps out into a hall in a hotel. She stops at hotel room 752. "Slowly", sung by Ann-Margret, is playing. She's carrying a red shopping bag with a black box poking out the top. She glances behind her shoulder as she opens the door and we realize it's Kate. She sets the box on the bed and opens it. A wedding veil. She looks uncertain, but she is interrupted by a knock on the door. An authoritative voice tells her it the police and there's a dangerous person in the hotel. She says she's fine, she's alone. He says the criminal could be holding her at gunpoint, making her say that and she has three seconds before he breaks down the door. Kate opens the door and it's a Miami Dade police officer. He says, "You wanna get it on?" They go in the room and the scene changes.

Kate's cage. Kate wakes up to the sound of Sawyer throwing rocks at the push button in his cage. It keeps repeating, "Warning." Sawyer seems kind of down. Kate asks him for a fish biscuit and he snarks, "You trying to keep me feeling productive?"

Ben is worried

Jack's cell. Ben and Juliet enter the viewing room and Jack is looking at the x-rays. The x-rays are a week old and the tumor is borderline inoperable. At the rate the tumor is growing, the borderline goes away in about one week. Jack asks if the surgical room is ready and well-stocked. Ben tells him whatever he needs, he gets. Jack refuses to do the surgery. Ben is scared, at least he looks scared. He tells Jack he is very disappointed in his decision. Jack says, "Well, Ben, at least you won't have to be disappointed for very long."

*commercial break*

Backstory. Kate's hotel room. She's in bed with the police officer, who we learn is Kevin and is her fiance. Their wedding is twelve hours away. The courtship has been short, Kevin says, but he's sure it's real.

Kate's cage. Danny opens Kate's cage and tells her it's time to work. She refuses to go without Sawyer and insists they're a team. Danny says, "I wouldn't want to break up a team."

Locke finds Eko's cross

Jungle. Desmond, Locke, Sayid, Nikki, and Paulo stand around Eko's body. Locke picks up Yemi's cross from the growth nearby. Nikki asks what happened and Locke says it must have been a bear. He adds that they'll bury Eko there to spare the beach people another funeral. Locke volunteers to go back to the camp and get some shovels. Sayid says he'll go with him, Locke refuses, Sayid insists.

Sayid questions Locke

Sayid asks Locke what really killed Eko. Locke says, "Folks back at the beach call it the monster. I don't really have a name for it. You don't believe in monsters." "I believe in what I can see. But obviously you have. So why don't you tell me what you think it is." "Might be what brought us here." "So you believe that this monster decided that Eko was meant to die." "I believe Eko died for a reason, I just don't know what it is yet." "That why you lied? We're not headed back toward the camp, are we, John?" "Sure we are. Just need to take a little detour first."

Alex threatens Danny Pickett with a slingshot

Excavation on Hydra Island. Kate and Sawyer are working when the alarm goes off and a voice repeats, "Compound breached." Danny yells, "Where is she?" and orders Kate and Sawyer to lie down on the ground. Alex rushes in and shoots people with a slingshot. Danny points his gun at her and tells her to calm down. She wants to know where her boyfriend is and she wants to talk to Ben. A large Other grabs her from behind and she tells Kate not to believe anything they tell her. They're going to kill Kate's boyfriend, just like they killed Alex's.

*commercial break*

Excavation. Kate hears Danny and Juliet arguing. Something's been moved up two weeks. Danny protests it and Juliet says it's not her call, it's the way it is. Juliet leaves Danny and walks up to Kate, hands her a bag, and tells her to put it over her head. If she doesn't cooperate, Danny will use it as an excuse to kill Sawyer, but if she cooperates, there's something she can do for them that will save Sawyer's life.

Kate checks her wedding dress

Church. Kate is alone and checking that her attire is perfect. Kevin's mother walks in. She clearly cares about Kate and she gives her a locket that her mother gave her on her wedding day. Kevin has three brothers and no sisters, so Kate is the "daughter" that the locket goes to. But Kate's name is Monica to these people, so we know she's still on the run. Kate puts in and whispers, "It's perfect." as her eyes tear up.

A lovely wedding

Altar. The pastor makes a few remarks about Kevin having been in that church since he was yay-high. He was struck by Monica's honesty and devotion. Kevin had said to him that, with Monica, what you see is what you get. He pronounces them man and wife and they are very happy as they walk down the aisle.

Hallway outside Jack's cell. Juliet escorts Kate into the viewing room for Jack's cell. Jack is surprised and happy to see her. They both cry. Juliet leaves to give them some privacy, but she goes to the monitor room. Jack asks how Kate is and details about her and Sawyer's captivity. Jack glances at the camera several times during their conversation. When he asks her if they hurt her, she breaks down and cries. Kate tells Jack he has to do the operation or they'll kill Sawyer. Jack gets angry. Kate pleads. Jack says he doesn't believe them. Kate says she has to believe them. He yells to the camera to take Kate back.

Monitor room. Ben and Juliet are watching the monitors. Ben says, "Get her out of there." and Juliet leaves the room.

*commercial break*

Marshal Mars chats with Kate

Grocery store. Kate has a basket full of groceries. Kevin calls her from his squad car. She's making tacos for dinner. After a brief newlywed conversation, Kate rushes out of the grocery store and to a payphone in the rain. She sets a timer on top of the phone and calls federal marshal Edward Mars. He immediately signals to his partner to trace the call. He tells Kate it's the Feast of the Ascension and that a lot of holy days have come and gone since her last call. She says she doesn't want to run anymore and he asks, "What's his name?" He taunts her for a few moments, then her timer goes off and she hangs up.

Kate's cage. Juliet returns Kate. Sawyer isn't in his cage and Kate asks where he is. Juliet says, "You really care for him, don't you?" She looks sympathetic, but she says, "I'm sorry you couldn't help us, Kate."

Danny returns with Sawyer and shoves him roughly into his cage.

Locke believes in fate, not coincidence

Jungle. Locke speaks a few words at Eko's funeral. He went to fetch the Jesus stick which had fallen out a tree and hit him on the head. He kneels down and starts to pound the staff into the dirt. He says, "Rest in peace, Mr. Eko. Thank you for helping me find my..." He stares at the staff as though suddenly realizing something. The camera focuses on the phrase, "Lift up your eyes and look north."

Sawyer's fatalism

The cages. Kate tells Sawyer she saw Jack. She relates what Juliet told her and Sawyer says he's glad Jack's not dumb enough to fall for their tricks. He gets angry when Kate says she believes them. Kate climbs out of the cage and breaks the lock off Sawyer's cage. He refuses to run. He tells her they're on an island a couple of miles away from their island. She's mad at him and demands to know why he didn't tell her that. He says he wanted her to believe they had a chance.

They kiss and it quickly turns into an indulgence in the pleasures of the flesh.

A great way to start your day

Kate and Kevin's home. Kate has made toast with a smiley face in her sunny yellow kitchen. They've been married six months. Kevin gives her two tickets to Costa Rica (Oceanic Airlines, of course). She starts to cry and he asks what's wrong. She says it's because she loves him so much.

Sawyer's cage. Sweaty Kate and Sawyer hold each other in the dark. He asks her if she meant it when she said she loved him, or if she was just trying to get Danny to quit beating him. She doesn't say anything, she just kisses him. He says, "I love you, too."

Jack's cell. He's sleeping on the bare metal table when the speaker crackles on. He goes over to it and asks who it is. Alex's voice comes over the speaker and says, "Try it. The door." Jack opens the door and steps out into the hall. Nobody is around. He finds the monitor room and finds guns, arms himself, then returns to the monitors and sees Sawyer and Kate in each other's arms. He stops to stare at them and Ben walks in behind him.

Ben startles him when he says, "If it helps, I was surprised, too." Jack pulls the gun on him and Ben adds, "If I was a betting man, I'd have picked you." Jack puts the gun down and tells him he'll operate in the morning in exchange for getting him off the island.

*commercial break*

Sawyer's cell. The sun is up and Kate and Sawyer are still sleeping.

It's the Flame station! No, it's the Miami Heat

Kate's home in Miami. She looks at a negative pregnancy test and starts to cry. She carries two glasses into the den where Kevin is working on paperwork regarding a fugitive recovery. Kate asks him, "What if I was a fugitive?" Kevin is not amused at first, but soon realizes she is serious as she tells him more. She says, "I love you, but I can't stay." He realizes something's wrong and she admits that she drugged him so that no one would think he knew anything. He passes out and Kate places the locket in his hand and leaves.

Operations area. Jack and Juliet are scrubbing in. Jack asks if she will do everything he says when he says it. She says, "You may find this hard to believe, but I've always been very good at following orders." He demands a straight yes before going in with her and she says yes.

Ben looks nervous and he asks Jack if he gets nervous before surgery. Jack says not anymore. Ben says that whatever happens, things will be different and Jack agrees. Ben turns to Juliet and asks if Alex asked about him. Juliet says, "No, we took her home last night. I don't know where she is now." Ben says he's ready and they begin.

As soon as Ben goes under, Danny tells another Other that it's time. He says, "Ben just put his life in the hands of one of them. Shephard wasn't even on Jacob's list."

It's raining outside. Danny tells Sawyer to come with him and Kate steps between them.

The surgery seems to go normally until Jack hesitates for a second, then places one more incision. Ben's blood pressure suddenly starts dropping and Jack demands a radio from Tom, who is outside in the surgical viewing room. Jack has made a small incision in Ben's kidney sac and he has about an hour left.

The cages. Sawyer fights Danny until Danny says he will kill Kate, too, if he doesn't back down. Sawyer lets Danny lead him outside the cage. He kneels execution style and Danny tells Kate to watch, but Sawyer tells Kate to close her eyes. Danny says, "This is for Colleen." He's about to pull the trigger when Tom calls him over the radio and tells him to give his walkie to Kate or Jack will let Ben die.

Danny hands Kate the radio. Jack tells Kate she has an hour head start before they come after her. He asks her if she remembers the story he told her the first day on the beach and when she gets safe, she needs to call him and tell him that story. Kate insists that she can't leave without him and Jack yells at her to run.

And that's the end until February.

Hi Adele, I don't know enough about Lost to string two coherent words together, but I should compliment you on the ridiculous amount of work you must have put into this post! All the pictures, formatting, detail...
