Lost Season Three Episode 15 'Left Behind'

Another brilliant episode! This time we find out a connection between Kate and Sawyer. We meet the monster, and notice a bond growing between two characters. And Hurley, as always brings some light-hearted humour to the camp...

In the flashback we see how Kate meets up with Cassidy Phillips, the girl who Sawyer became involved with, only to con her and steal all her money. After Kate helps Cassidy avoid being arrested to trying to sell fake jewellery, Cassidy agrees to help Kate to see her mum. Kate was desperate to know why her mum reported her to the Police when all she'd done was to free her from her violent marriage and to give her some money by filing an insurance claim on the house that was accidentally blown up. When she eventually met up with her mum, she was told that she had killed the man who she loved, and she would never forgive Kate for that.

At the camp, Hurley tells Sawyer that people are thinking of banishing him from thr camp. At first Sawyer isn't bothered, but after realising that he relies on the others for help, he asks Hurley for help to change their mind. Sawyer starts to be nice to everyone - giving a blanket to Claire and helping Desmond to hunt a boar. He suddenly seems very popular. He quickly realises that Hurley tricked him and banishment hadn't even been discussed. Hurley tells him that the camp needs a leader and Sawyer is the best person for it. Hurley is so cool. But what has happened to his van? Why aren't they using it to get around? Maybe its run out of petrol.

John Locke visits Kate to tell her that he is leaving and that she wasn't going with her. What the hell has happened with Locke and his dad? Next, a gas canister is thrown into Kate's room and she passes out. She wakes handcuffed to Juliet. After a quick scrap the two have to hide from the monster! The monster flashes white light at them - like it might be reading their thoughts. The next day the girls try to get back to the Barracks to rescue Jack and Sayid. The monster chases them again, but suddenly Juliet unlocks the cuffs, turns off the sonic barrier around the barracks, and turns it back on. She says they don't know what the monster is but that it doesn't like their fence! She tells Kate that she handcuffed herself to Kate to make it look like they were in it together. They have both been left behind. They rescue Jack and Sayid. Jack tells the others that Juliet is going back to the camp with them. You can see that Jack is really getting close to Juliet, and Kate and Sayid distrust her deeply, as you would!

What is going to happen next? Why don't the people at the camp move to the Barracks? There's a fence to protect them from the monster, and houses to sleep in. Where have the Others gone?

Next week it's a Juliet flashback. Hopefully we will find out more about why Juliet is on the island.
