Plot: the righteous among the Others are called up to Heaven in the Rapture, but Kate, Sayid, Jack and Juliet find themselves... no? Okay, let me start over.
Plot: the Others, plus Locke, take off, leaving only Jack, Sayid, Juliet and Kate. Juliet takes Kate into the jungle and handcuffs them together, apparently in a Benry-like ploy to get Kate to like her (PS: It fails miserably). Meanwhile, Flashback Kate teams up with Sawyer's baby's mama to ask her (Kate's) mom why she called the cops. The answer? Because Kate blew up her damn husband. Wow, mystery solved! That's some nice sleuthing, show! I assume we're supposed to feel bad for Kate here, but I really don't. And if we're not, why exactly are we wasting an entire backstory on it? Whatever. Sucked. Also, enough with the cutesy coincidences. I know Kate's never going to find out the connection between Sawyer and Cassidy, so it doesn't matter, it's just the writers having a laugh. Okay, we get it. People are connected, blah blah. It just feels gimmicky to me, especially when it's never paid off. The thing with Sawyer meeting Jack's dad? Paid off. Ana Lucia meeting Jack's dad? Uh, not so much. Can't we learn from this, guys?
The B plot, in which Hurley convinces Sawyer to be nice to everyone for about two hours, was pretty skippable. It's hard to see this Sawyer lasting (especially when, as the teaser shows us, Juliet's arrival gives him an excuse to be all pissed off next week), so it was kind of a throwaway plot. It was all right, particularly the Hurley-Sawyer moment at the end when Hurley tells Sawyer that he needs to lead them, and the little montage, but eh.
The only really good thing about this episode was that we got another tantalizing glimpse at the "monster." It appears to be a giant photo booth.
