S3 Ep13 "The Man From Tallahassee"

(started 5/21/10 20:00)

The previouslies might finally answer the wheelchair question.

===========


Jack playing football at the Others Barracks. Shaking hands with wheelchair Ben. The Rescue Party watches from the bushes to make their move. Kate goes in and is immediately captured. Jack is being monitored (well duh, would-be rescuers!) so they are on to their plan the second she steps through the door. Sayid is captured as well.

Locke makes his presence known in Ben's room. He wants the submarine. Ben tells him he knows all about the wheelchair history. More manipulation and psychological probing on Ben's part. Alex affirms that he's a master manipulator and that's his M.O.

Jack and Juliet are actually being prepared to go home. Like "home" home, not "onto the another" island home. But Jack swears he'll come back for Kate. It's hard to tell if she buys it, though. He walks out the door and she's captive in handcuffs.

Locke gets his information and blows up the sub just as Jack and Juliet are about to board it. They are not happy about this twist of fate. Ben, however, is pretty delighted. Maybe Locke can stay and be his new BFF.

=============

PCL Locke gets a visit from a young man comes to see him who tells him Locke's crappy dad is going to marry his mom,and dad has a new name. John tracks him down, and confronts him. Twice. We finally learn how Locke got in the wheelchair. Daddy dearest pushed him out a window 8 stories up.

===========

Locke does not regret his decision of blowing the submarine up, despite his imprisonment. Besides, he and Ben are going to be BFFs, and he gets to stay on the island forever and never be hurt by his father again. Remember he thinks the island gives him his mojo. He'll be safe there.

Hey now - guess what? Daddy dearest is on the island.

No Fricking Way.
