Am I <i>that<\/i> pathetic!?  Okay!! That&#8217;s a dealbreaker!!&#8221; and she whistled and all these armed guys come out of the bushes!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf1wxh\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And for the record, I <i>do<\/I> have a boyfriend, and his name is Astronaut Mike Dexter!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf2cb3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Kate and Mocke sit down for a heart to heart, and I think a lot of us are starting to wonder when this guy&#8217;s going to slip.  He always seems to have the right idea about EVERYTHING, amiright??  I mean&#8230;I&#8217;d totally be on Team Smokey, wouldn&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf3775\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Anyway he tells Kate that he wasn&#8217;t actually a dead guy like she said.  And that he had a mother once.  Who was crazier than a shithouse rat, apparently.  She was so disturbed, and did such a bang-up job of raising him, that Old Smokey is STILL messed up about it!!!  And that could have been like EONS ago!!<\/p>\n<p>We even got a hint of Smears!! I&#8217;m thinking maybe this woman made Mommy Dearest look like Donna Reed.  No wire hangers!!!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf4fs1\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So he told her that Aaron&#8217;s got a crazy mom now too, and if she doesn&#8217;t want the kid to morph into a homocidal cloud of smoke, maybe it&#8217;s better if Claire stayed the eff away from him! <\/p>\n<p>And he also suggested he and Kate start a Mommy Issues Anonymous club with Ben because they are such a minority on this island!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf50c6\"\/><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Sideways Sawyer goes home after his long day of being thrown into lockers, heats himself up a depressing frozen dinner, and kicks back to watch his stories.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf6k02\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And awwww it&#8217;s Little House!!  And Daddy Ingalls is talking about how the ones we&#8217;ve lost aren&#8217;t really gone forever, and life is all about laughing and loving and not kicking hot archaeologists out of our beds at 3 in the morning!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf7ccy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So naturally Sawyer grabs a big sunflower, a 6-pack, and his best puppy dog eyes and heads over to Charlotte&#8217;s to see if she wouldn&#8217;t mind seizing the day with him.  But she SO isn&#8217;t having it!!  <\/p>\n<p>And showing MUCH more self-control than I ever could, she turns him down!!  I mean Charlotte, HE HAD <i>BEER<\/I>!!  And a FLOWER!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf8d02\"\/><\/p>\n<p>(Hopefully it&#8217;s because a certain tie-wearing physicist was there on the other side of the door, eh??)<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>So Tina Fey and that guy who everyone recognized from one old TV show or another take Sawyer to parlay with their leader, who is of course Chuck Widmore, hanging out in his nefarious submarine!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cf9rgx\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s some locked door on the sub that&#8217;s being guarded by a guy!  What&#8217;s in there??  Is someone trapped in the closet?? Desmond?  R. Kelly?  A vanishing cabinet?  What!?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cfacf4\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t get to find out because Sawyer is ushered into Widmore&#8217;s office\/evil lair, and they strike a deal &#8211; if Widmore agrees to let everyone on Team Sawyer go free, Sawyer will give him Smokey on a silver platter.  Easy peasy, right?<\/p>\n<p>Except for the part where Sawyer is lying through his beautifully capped teeth!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cfbrbw\"\/><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>And then Claire walks up to Kate and like, apologizes to her and hugs her!!  Mocke&#8217;s tough love must have knocked something loose under that wig of hers because she managed to not try and stab Kate in the neck or anything!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cfccr3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Claire:<\/b> I don&#8217;t see you crying, robot!

And he bought it!?<br \/>\n<b>Sawyer:<\/b> Oh, he bought it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cfep9f\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Mocke:<\/b> Well good work, James. Don&#8217;t worry, I won&#8217;t double-cross you.<br \/>\n<b>Sawyer:<\/b> And I won&#8217;t double-cross you.<br \/>\n<b>Mocke:<\/b> Just as long as you don&#8217;t double-cross me!<br \/>\n<b>Sawyer:<\/b> Ha ha, I <i>wooon&#8217;t<\/i>!<br \/>\n<b>Mocke:<\/b> *wink*<br \/>\n<b>Sawyer:<\/b> *wink*<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cffkb2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Then Sawyer went to find Kate and explain to her about how he&#8217;s totally going to double-cross Mocke AND Widmore!<\/p>\n<p> ***<\/p>\n<p>In Sideways World, Sawyer decides that he&#8217;s gotta make up with Miles because his life is just too pathetic when Michael Landon&#8217;s his only friend!  This time he skips the flower and the beer and brings the ever-important Sawyer folder!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cfgtaf\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So he explains about how his parents died when he was little, and how it&#8217;s this guy Anthony Cooper&#8217;s fault, and that&#8217;s why he was in Australia!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And when I find him, I&#8217;m gonna kill him.

And someone jumps out and starts running away, and we&#8217;re all like &#8220;Baseball cap? Running?  MUST BE KATE!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pics.livejournal.com\/ack_attack\/pic\/00cfp9y7\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Which of course it is!  And Sawyer&#8217;s all son-of-a-bitching about her because this was that chick that he helped escape airport security the other day!!  Which makes no sense now that we know he&#8217;s a cop, but WHATEVER!  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sawyer: <\/strong>You have the right to remain sexy!
