Jack co-opts Sun as his primary assistant, while ordering others to get the necessary equipment needed to help him. But everything stops when Boone’s lung collapses, forcing Jack to literally drive a hole into Boone’s chest. All together now: holy crap. Jack assures Boone that he will save him. Unfortunately, he cannot rebuild him, in that he does not have the technology. On the beach, Claire asks Michael how long until the raft will be complete. Michael thinks it’s a week from being done. Jin works through the impromptu lunch break, as if a man possessed. Kate interrupts the lunch, seeking all the alcohol in Sawyer’s stash. Sawyer offers to help, but Kate insists they have enough people in the caves. In the caves, they’ve set up a makeshift surgical ward. Boone needs a blood transfusion, but Jack decides to set his leg first. Sun essentially sends Jack from the ward, to get some air. Jack walks smack dab into a panicked Charlie, who prompts Jack to lose his cool thanks to his insistent questioning. Sun’s on point, luckily, providing a stick for Boone to chomp down on as OH MY GOD JACK JUST REBROKE HIS LEG AND EEEK THIS IS WHY I COULD NEVER BE A DOCTOR OH MOMMY MOMMY HOLD ME. Kate manages to trip, fall, and bust open every nip of alcohol in her bag in her rush to get back to the caves. However, she manages to come across Claire, who, as luck would have it, is in labor. This is like a sweeps episode of E.R. at this point. Kate shouts for help, and the only person who hears her is Jin. He bounds into the jungle, because he’s Jin and he’s effin’ awesome. He eventually comes upon the scene, and instantly regrets his inner morality. Seriously, his initial “Oh!” is one of my favorite Season 1 moments. Back in the caves, Sun continues to play “Calm Doc” and Jack plays “Pretty Much Freaking Out Doc.” Boone reveals his blood type (A negative), which sends Sun on a scavenger hunt. Jack tells her to find Shannon as well. Too bad she’s out in the jungle with Sayid. Nice to see the show remembered it forced these two into a relationship that nobody bought. Awww, Sayid set up a surprise fire-lit picnic date! Kick me in the face. Back at the Caves of Pain and Misery, the group’s having little to no luck finding blood. If you want a comparison, think about the trouble Ian Somerhalder had finding work after this episode. Once again, Sun saves the day, finding a sea urchin with spines that could function as needles. Sun’s batting 1.000 so far in this episode. Turns out Jack himself is O negative, a universal donor. That’s good. Course, his blood could also send Boone into shock, never mind render Jack woozy and unable to operate at peak performance. That’s bad. Much like the cursed frogurt from The Simpsons, there are pros and cons to this. Jin runs into the caves to find Jack, and it’s hard to tell what he’s more surprised by seeing: Boone on the makeshift table or his wife as his makeshift nurse. Fantastic moment. The camera pans slowly over the impromptu IV drip, and now I remember that I blocked all this out because I get all Hurley around blood. Jin drops the Claire knowledge, leading to a series of awkward exchanges all around. All the while, Jack gets woozier and woozier. This is the first time Jack and I have ever had anything in common. Jack gets Charlie all the necessary instructions for childbirth, as he won’t be able to leave Boone’s side. In the jungle, Claire’s water breaks. In the caves, Boone’s silence breaks. Boone tells Jack about the plane that fell on him, which piques Jack’s interest. Mention of a “hatch” further confuses Jack. After that, all Boone can do is mutter his sister’s name, but she’s too busy making googly eyes with the Iraqi down at Craphole Island’s equivalent of Sandals. Shannon finally tells Sayid her relationship with Boone (at least, the PG version of it). Charlie and Jin catch up to Claire and Kate. Ms. AustenSee less »
