What Happened on LOST: The Other Woman
Posted by ThomMar 6
Tonight’s episode on the hit ABC series LOST was called The Other Woman and is a Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) centric episode.
This is a continuation of our series on the hit ABC series LOST. If you missed the previous installments, check here. You can get caught up on previous seasons of LOST here.
We’ve come to have an uneasy trust of Dr. Burke in the recent past even coming up to speed a little on how she came to be on the island, her distrust & dislike for Ben, and how badly she wants off the island. In this weeks installment of the hit ABC series LOST, we find out even more about Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell), especially some of the more romantic details of her stay on the island.
We know from previous back story that Juliet was recruited to come to the island to study the difficulty women were
having giving birth. Juliet was initially promised that she could “try out” her engagement on the island for only 6 months, making it possible for her to be back for the birth of her sister’s child. Well, that 6 month trial period passed the three year mark on the day of the crash, and not because she didn’t want to leave! We also found out last season that Juliet and Godwin were lovers. Well…
As the episode opens Juliet is meeting with Harper, the “Others” therapist. She’s been on the island for about a week and is having a bit of trouble adjusting. Their session is interrupted so that Ben can present Juliet with her new home, a 2 bedroom / 2 bath cottage with washer and dryer.
We cut to the beach where Juliet is putting together her shelter for the evening when Jack realizes that Daniel and Charlotte are missing. As Jack, Juliet and the other losties head off into the jungle to find them Juliet in confronted by Harper who tells her that Ben wants her to go to the Tempest station, find them, and kill them… then… Harper disappears.
We cut to Juliet meeting Goodwin in some sort of clinic where he’s seeking first aid for some sort of chemical burn on his arm. It’s there that we find out that Goodwin and Harper are actually married!
Flash back to the jungle and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Jack (Matthew Fox) are marching on a mission toward the Tempest to intercept Daniel and Charlotte. Flash to Daniel and Charlotte as they are discovered by Kate (Evangeline Lilly). Charlotte draws down on Kate but Daniel vouches for her. They chat for a bit and as Kate starts to put two and two together, Charlotte whacks Kate on the head to unconsciousness.
We’re back to Harper and Juliet talking and Harper asks Juliet how long she’s been sleeping with her husband, Goodwin. Juliet apologizes and Harper tells Juliet that if she continues her relationship with Goodwin that Ben will get hurt!?! (Maybe Juliet was brought to the island for Ben?)
Cut to Locke and Claire discussing the best way to get info from Miles. She’s frustrated and Locke continues to resist… then he goes to see Ben. And of course Ben starts in with the mental assault against Locke, suggesting that the people will be angry when they figure our John doesn’t have a plan. John blows him off and hits the road just as Ben dangles tidbits about their common enemy in front of Locke’s nose.
Flash to a beach scene with Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Goodwin sharing a picnic and a bottle of wine. They are obviously intimate in the way they talk and touch. They acknowledge that Ben has a crush on her and agree to keep their relationship a secret.
We see flight 815 falling and Ben’s instructions to Ethan and Goodwin…and his nod to Juliet as he runs off to join the tailies.
Jack and Juliet find Kate tossed in the high grass in the jungle where she tells them what happened. Under the pretense of getting water for Kate, Juliet leaves Kate and Jack to head toward the Tempest station.
Back at the barracks, Ben is working a deal with Locke to affect his release. Ben leads Locke to a hidden safe in the house that contains a video tape. As they watch the tape we see Charles Widmore (Penny’s dad) on some surveillance tape. Ben tells Locke that Widmore has been looking for the island for years and that he is the power behind the freighter. He states further that he believes Widmore wants to exploit the island, obviously playing to John’s desire to protect the island. When Locke demands to know who Ben’s man on the boat is…we go to commercial.
Returning to Kate and Jack hot on Juliet’s trail. As Juliet arrives at the Tempest station we cut back to Ben’s house as Juliet is arriving for dinner. As they eat Ben is frustrated by Juliet’s mention of Goodwin’s return from the tailies. Back at the Tempest Juliet comes upon Daniel and Charlotte, dressed in protective gear, working on a computer. She draws down on Daniel and he pauses (duh…).
As Daniel assures Juliet that he’s trying to make the poison gas inert and safe, Charlotte attacks her and they struggle. The alarm system shuts down and all seems safe with just 2 seconds left…talk about drama!
In a flashback Ben comes to see Juliet and they discuss having Jack operate on Ben’s spinal tumor. Ben seems down and as it turns out its because…Goodwin is dead. He takes Juliet to see Goodwin’s body and tells her part of the story. Ben sees her distress and appears to be resolved now that Juliet will not be his. She becomes angry with Ben for leaving Goodwin with the tailies so he could die and she ask him why. That’s when he tells her that she is his then he leaves her there in the jungle with Goodwin’s impaled body.
Back at the Tempest Kate and Jack catch up with Juliet, Charlotte, and Daniel. Jack and Juliet are left alone outside as the others go inside for a few minutes. She tells him she has feelings for Jack and Jack plants one on her…a good one!
At the barracks Hugo and Sawyer are playing horse shoes when they see Ben strolling through the compound and into a house.
And that’s it for this week.
