"It's so blatantly obvious how much Jack and Kate care for each other at this point, and this episode
solidified it for me. There are a number of times when i've thought 'Kate really loves him, she knows it',
this was one of those times. The minute she saw him playing the Piano ... She was entranced.
She was mesmerized by the moment, she let her guard down and her feelings were written all over her face.
Jack couldnt believe his eyes .. when she said "hey", his voice failed him,
he choked a little, "what are you doing here"
showed so much of his feelings before he pulled his guard up again. In the Game room,
The unspoken words. The handholding. Kate's tears. It's beautiful.
And Jack's "I will come back here for you" is breath-taking.
Thats why I love this episode so much, you cant deny these moments,
something powerful happend to Jate
in this episode, it made it more deserving of the word EPIC,, - Nora

This is where everything changed. We got to see selfless Jack once again putting
Kate's happiness in front of his own. When she asked,
"Why are you sticking up for him, he'd never do it for you?"
he decided to tell her the simplest answer he could: "Because I love you". And yes, we cried, we squeed
but most important, we were able to see Jack finaly putting his feelings out there and being happy about it.
It was one of those little moments when he just decides to be honest with her and why not with himslef.
His face, his expression, everything told us he just needed her to know he loved her, even though he thought
she definitelty didn't feel that way. But Kate's reaction told us a different story, the realisation that this guy
really had feelings for her after thinking she wasn't worth of them changed her attitude towards him from then on.
Later Kate helped an injured Jack when he most needed it, Jack trusted Kate with the truth and no one else.
And Team Jate tried to get everyone off the island. In the end we were introduced to a story,
changing everything on Lost, they threw us in the Future! And who else could be the protagonists of this
mindblowing event other then Jack and Kate? Because they are where it all started,
where it all changed and of course, where it all will end. - Flor

The season starts with Kate and Jack still up at the radio tower. She smiles while asking him if they're really going home,
he smiles back, saying they really are. Naomi's body though, is missing. Jack thinks he found the right trail to follow.
Kate thinks the same and he smiles telling her that, once rescued, they would be,
"laughing about the fact that there is one final thing that we couldn't agree up on." She laughs and hugs him,
stealing the sat phone from his backpocket.
Jack so touched by having her in his arms didn't even realize that. Buring his nose in her hair.
They separate and Jack finds out he was wrong. Kate was right, the two camps reunite in the middle of the jungle,
Kate and Jack arrive there too. The Losties separate in two gropus, one with Locke, the other with Jack.
Kate obviously stays at Jack's side. Having learned about Charlie's death Jack is wondering "how did this happen?"
Kate's by his side,n ear the cockpit of their plane,
their faces are sad while they remember Charlie, Kate looking at Jack knowing his pain, sharing his pain.
Then they look at ach other for a moment, her eyes never leaving his, and the world seems to disappear. - Franci

I feel like this episode was pivotal to Jate. Personally, I like the banter they were getting back to.
Jack isn't invited to the trip back to othersville by Sayid and Kate decides to tease him about it.
Grinning and bitting her lip as she looks up at him, flirt signs drooling out of her eyes.
"Now you know how it feels like to be me. She tried, but Jack answers, "Does that mean I should wait
20 minutes and go anyway?" "Touché!" and they share another long meaningful look,
Kate obviously enjoying this, until Jack sends Kate, the person he trusts the most, to go with Sayid.
Telling her Sawyer will protect her from Locke. And as you watch her face change you realize Sawyer was
the last person she was thinking about in this moment. Once back to Othersville first thing Kate does when
she sees Sawyer, who asks her to be quiet, is to shout for Sayid and point her gun at him. Amazing how easily
and clearly Kate takes a stand against Sawyer, her "boyfriend" at the time. We know that Jack implied
she had to go to back, trusting her to come back to him so he got visibly hurt when she didn't.
Not knowing what her real reason was. The way he stood there, facing the direction
Kate should have come from is just heartbreaking! - Nat

"Jack picked some panties up off of the floor. The night was intense. Deep breath. I know this house. Deep breath.
Two glasses of wine from the previous night. Deep breath. Someone is on the shower. I know this voice.
He opens the door and IT'S KATE! They kiss. We've waited years for this. Finally.
It's so peaceful. It's so normal, like a habit,
but still so intense and passionate. Him taking care of Aaron & Kate, his family now.
Unforgettable. In the hallway, they kiss again, they're so close like they've never been before.
It's sexy, but yet so respectful. We can see now that she is happy. He's happy too.
Because what's going to prevent them from being together has NOTHING to do with their relationship.
It's not because they don't want to be together. They love each other. They miss each other.
On the island Jack was so fragile and all the time he asked for Kate to be there with him.
"So it looks like I'm gonna be your nurse" JACK. PROPOSED. TO. HER! And even better damn she said YES!
"Of course I will, yes" it's pretty much a synonym as 'I love you' to me. "Kate and I got engaged".
I could keep repeating that until the end of the times. THEY WERE ENGAGED! The episode was a mix of
happiness, relief, all the emotions together. The end was painful, but I'm sure that whatever
she's doing for Sawyer "it has nothing to do" with them. They still have to figure out some things
because when they do, they're going to be together and the show is going to be over. - Carol

When they all reunite at the chopper. Sawyer tries to flirt with her,
but as soon Kate notices Jack she passes Sawyer, going straight to Jack.
"Are you okay?" He waits for eye-contact &
when they lock eyes he tells her, "I am now." causing a charmed Kate.
While leaving the island, Kate gazes at Jack, and when she turns, Jack gazes at her. Heroic Sawyer jumps out, first kissing
Kate goodbye. Interesting is, Kate isn't freaking out or isn't shouting after him,
"I can't leave without you!!" Later we find out someone else has to jump. Looking in each others eyes,
neither Jack or Kate does so. They land on the freighter but have to leave instantly. Jack grabs her hand,
his words, "I won't leave without you." stop her from struggeling and hand in hand they leave.
He would give all up to be with her. Just like she gave up her chance of beeing free and with Sawyer, for him.
Once the O6 are rescued by reaching a beach. Jack goes over to Kate&Aaron, together they walk towards their future.
Which we get another glimps at. "We've to go back!?" Kate shouts, furious & heartbroken.
It hurts to be remembered of him constantly, specially when he's on drugs. Jack is ashamed.
"To keep you safe. You & Aaron" BAMN. She hits him in the face. Putting all her pain in that slap.
She gave everything to their releation. She gave it all up for him. She needs him. She loves him.
You can just see how deeply he broke her heart. How much she misses him. "I still have to explain
to him why you're not there to read to him." Can you picture this scene!? Kate is remembered everyday
of the pain he caused her by leaving & now she leaves. But once they'll stop pushing each other away,
they'll come back to each other, they always do. - Liesbeth

"Her hands linger on his face for one finale beat. She can’t do this. But has to… she lets go”
