Watched the episode, after a couple of failed attempts (my connection lets me down always when it shouldn't).

So, hmmm, I don't know where to start.
This episode felt... pointless? I mean, aside from the romantic aspect, it only told us once again that it was very very wrong for the O6 to leave, and touched the Jack/Christian/Claire/Aaron storyline. Jack isn't supposed to raise Aaron - message delivered to Jack by Charlie, through Hurley.

The flashforward part: it takes place after the events of Eggtown, so it's after the trial. Jack has changed his mind about Kate's offer - they're living together now, Kate tells Jack how much she loves to see him with the baby, flirty/sexy domestic scenes (Kate is showed in underwear around the house almost all the time, lol, not to mention the first scene of them kissing in the shower). After Jack goes to see Hurley and listens to Charlie's message, he goes back home, asks Kate if he's good at "this" (being a father, having a family...), Kate says yes. Jack asks her to marry him, she cries and says Yes two or three times. After that, he's visited by Christian at the hospital, and that's when he starts taking the first pills. Final scene: big J/K fight. He comes home from work earlier, gets drunk, Kate was out to "run some errands" but Jack wants to know where she was and with who she was. She begs him to let it go, he doesn't. Kate says she was doing something "for him, for Sawyer". She made him a promise, and she didn't tell Jack because it doesn't concern them, and she thought Sawyer wouldn't want her to say it. Jack starts yelling, tells her Sawyer isn't there, he is, Sawyer chose to stay, he's the one who saved her. Kate cries, try to reason with him, tells him she doesn't want him around her son in that state. Jack snaps at her yelling that Aaron isn't even related to her. The kid is in the doorway, Kate goes to pick him up, still crying, while Jack walks off.

On island: they have to operate on Jack's appendicitis, Juliet takes charge and sends Sun, Jin, Charlotte and Daniel to grab the necessary for the surgery. Thanks to that, we finds out that: Daniel fancies Charlotte, Charlotte speaks Korean and Jin tells her he will break Daniel's fingers one by one if she keeps lying and doesn't provide a seat on the elicopter for Sun. They resolve Jacket for good, with Juliet telling Kate that Jack kissed her, but she thinks it was only to prove to himself that he doesn't love Kate. Jack was listening, he doesn't add anything once Kate leaves and Juliet call him on how he's faking to be unconscious but heard everything. The put they final word on Karl and Danielle's dead with Miles finding their buried bodies.

Sawyer: as Crystal said, it was basically a repeat of last week - Sawyer being super protective of Claire. They're trekking through the jungle, stumble upon Frank and Keamy and the other military guys, Frank saves them somehow distracting Keamy while Miles, Sawyer and Claire hide. At the end of the episode, after Claire has walked off through the jungle following a vision of Christian holding Aaron while the others slept, Sawyer goes looking for her but only finds Aaron near a tree, picks him up and starts screaming for Claire in a pretty scared/desperate way, before the screen goes to black.

The cool part: I totally think the promise Kate made to Sawyer before leaving is to check on Clementine, and that's where she was the afternoon when Jack got home and didn't find her there. Which rocks in my book because I hated the idea that they had dropped the Clementine storyline - I was sure kids and babies were too much of a recurring/important theme to ignore James' daughter, and I'm glad I was right on something, for once.
