Okay this is a recap, so if you haven’t seen the episode, please don’t read further because their will be spoilers.

This was the Jack Centric episode of the season. So we will cover Team Jack 1st:

Jack awakes to all that is not well on the island as Bernard is having it out with Charlotte and Daniel. He is angry and wants answers. Bernard is quickly becoming a very go to guys and not just a mild mannered dentist. His Morse code skills last week were quite handy and his crack shot with a rifle was crucial to last year’s final episodes.

Jack calms everyone down and then collapses. He has appendicitis. I hadn’t thought about this until Rose and Bernard were talking but on the island people get well, not sick. So why was Jack getting sick? I don’t trust this sickness either. Maybe watching this show has made me more critical and skeptical of the plot but I have this weird thought going through my head that something was implanted in Jack to simulate appendicitis. Or maybe something was implanted by Juliette during the procedure. I just can’t stop a nagging feeling like that.

Juliette needs supplies and sends Sun to the Staff station to get them, but Sun has no clue what to look for but Daniel does and he offers to go with her, Jin steps in and he is going too and so is Charlotte. Jack gives Jin a gun to take with him. We noticed in this little trip that Charlotte can speak Korean and that Daniel has a crush on Charlotte, uh duh! Anyway, Jin confronts Charlotte on this and makes her swear to take Sun with her on the helicopter to get her off the island. He has no plans for himself getting off.

Jack’s surgery goes well but Jack, the stubborn bastard that he is insists on being awake and on having Kate in the room with them holding a mirror. That is short lived as the pain is too much and Bernard knocks Jack out. Mr. God complex has to let someone else take charge for a while. And after the surgery Juliette confesses to Kate that Jack kissed her at the Tempest. But that he did it to prove to himself that he didn’t love Kate. I think he proved himself wrong on that one. Then Juliette tells Jack that she knows he is awake.

The Sawyer Bunch

Sawyer, Miles, Claire and Aaron are trekking through the jungle to the beach. Along the way they come across the shallow graves of Rousseau and Karl. Miles felt their deaths. He and Claire have a little bonding moment as Claire confesses to Miles that she shes things too, or has been doing so lately. Sawyer doesn’t trust Miles and doesn’t want him looking anywhere near Claire so he issues a restraining order.

While in the jungle Frank Lapidus comes flying out of the jungle at a run and tells the group that Keamy and his men are coming and they will kill everyone they find. The group hides and Frank steers Keamy away from everyone and he even covers for a cry from Aaron. Apparently that monster isn’t that efficient only one of the mercenaries was hurt. Also in the middleof the night the group is visited by Christian Shepard. He is holding Aaron. Claire goes to him and leaves with him in the middle of the night. When Sawyer wakes up he looks for Claire and asks Miles why he didn’t stop her. Miles in a very Sawyer way says that he had a restraining order so he couldn’t do anything about it. Sawyer chases into the woords calling for Claire but only finds Aaron.

Team Locke – No mention nor information about them this episode, but wait till next week. Next week I believe we meet Jacob.

Flash Forward – Jack

It looks like things are working out very well for Jack. He is living with Kate and Aaron and making a go at being a daddy, he even proposes to Kate. Then he screws it all up by being jealous and paranoid. Oh and he starts his downward spiral of abusing drugs and alcohol in this episode. I knew this would the episode for it.

These are mostly observations of the flash forward.

Hurley is becoming more and more crazy and is off his meds. He talks with Charlie every day and now Charlie has a message for Jack: “You’re not supposed to raise him.”. Jack is completely upset with this and shaken up. He leaves and stares at the place where Charlie visits Hurley hoping to catch a glimpse. Also Jack is going to be visited by someone as well.

Jack’s visitor is his father, Christina Shepard, but we don’t see him for very long. He appears 3 times in this episode too.

Jack reads to Aaron from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a book that his father read to him.

Oh there is still a love triangle between Jack and Kate and Sawyer. Sawyer asked Kate to do something for him when she got home. Kate was on the phone with a mysterious caller and lied to Jack. Later Jack becomes paranoid (probably form the drugs he started taking and partly because of his personality) and found out that Kate keeping a promise to Sawyer. In Jack’s mind, because Sawyer stayed behind it didn’t matter what he asked her to do. Jack was the one who was there, not Sawyer.

So Claire goes off into the jungle. Miles can sense the dead, he also offers to take Aaron and carry him many times. Does Miles sense something? Hmmm…

TV Squad Recap..

Last night I had every intention of sitting down with a pen and paper and capturing the best lines from the night as accurately as possible. I didn’t do that.

There be Spoilers contained within these recaps.

My Name is Earl – Love Octagon

Last night’s episode was a pretty decent one and could have been the season finale for all it accomplished.

For one thing we have Earl out of his coma and he is bent on finding Billie and winning her heart. So he goes on a quest to find her. Randy also updates Earl on everything that has happened since he was in a coma. That was a pretty funny part of the episode as Randy is just so messed up. We then get Catalina running in telling everyone that she is a lesbian, I guess the whole Randy and Catalina thing is completely over.

So Earl goes to try and find Billie but she is not in the phone book. So Earl goes to enlist the aid of Frank, who is living in a halfway house now. Michael Rappaport is a freaking riot, I might add. Anyway Frank is living there and so is Paco, Catalina’s boyfriend. Paco gets out on work release. Frank can’t get out and is going stir crazy. Earl and Randy suggest that Frank gets a job with the Crab Shack so that he can get out and help them find Billie.

Frank has a new girlfriend and is very, very into her feet. She was a roommate with Billie for a while and said that Billie went back to being bad and apparently held up a bank. Meanwhile Billie was in a coma because Stuart, the cop that is now a pro bowler, hit her with his car. Stuart has spent his days watching over Billie and falling in love with her. When she wakes up she immediately asks about Earl. Stuart tells her that she killed him and the police are looking for her for questioning. So he will hide her in his room, at his mother’s house, and she is the police chief.

Earl later gets a number for a phone that Billie used to call Frank’s new girlfriend. So Earl enlists the aid of Kenny, the only guy in Camden with computer knowledge, to figure out where that phone is located. It was a pay phone, so the guys stake out the payphone until it is taken away. Eventually Stuart moves Billie to the hotel where she encounters “new lesbian” Catalina and Catalina tells Stuart that Earl lives two doors down. So they up and leave again and go to Kenny’s.

Through a series of events we see many plotlines come to an end. Paco find Catalina. Frank stays with his new girlfriend. Stuart may or may not be gay and ends up with Kenny, possibly, and Earl declares his love for Billie and they get married. I love how every wedding photo or Earl has him with his eyes closed.

While Joy and Darnell were in this episode they were not in a whole lot because instead of doing something from the list Earl did something for himself. I hadn’t realized that they were living int he crab shack but that was pretty funny. Also we see Earl’s kids doing homework and it looks like they may not be as dumb as expected. I think this would have been a great ending for the season but apparently there is more to come.

Scrubs: My Waste of Time

A fairly decent episode but we really see how things are winding down for this show. For one thing there was a part where J.D. reveals out loud that he takes a portion of wisdom from another person’s life to apply to his own. That was a pretty good nod to something wee see happen each week. Also J.D. says that the long fantasy is never worth the payoff. Acknowledging these things is very indicative of a show that is wrapping up. And the season finale is next week. The show will be moving to ABC next season in case you missed that.

Also Dr. Cox is the new Chief and insists that people call him Chief Dr. Cox.

The Office: Did I Stutter?

This was a very good episode. The story centered around Stanley confronting Michael in one of Michael’s silly meetings by raising his voice and saying, “Did I Stutter?” This causes Michael to go on an angst filled journey to find out how to deal with this.

Some of the best parts of this episode were.

Dwight strong arming Andy into selling him his Xterra at a deep discount and then cleaning it up and trying to resell it for a ton of money.

Dwight attempting to take power from Michael to deal with the Stanley situation and also attempting to strong arm Michael into doing so. I loved the visual aids and Dwight saying that he would relinquish power once the Stanley situation was dealt with.

Ryan and Toby have an alliance. Ryan comes to the office to give Jim a verbal warning. The warning is for all of Jim’s goofing off in the office which Ryan knows all about from working with him. It wasn’t till right now that I realize that Toby could also benefit from Jim’s downfall. And I see Toby did not move to Costa Rica.

Michael seeking advice from Daryl and Daryl telling him that gangs solve things by tickling the insubordinate member.

Michael’s fake Firing of Stanley and then the confrontation between Michael and Stanley alone.

Kevin’s description of the standoff between Michael and Stanley.

Stanley laying it all out on Michael, their resolution. I love Stanley time.

Stanley backing Michael on his next dumb idea and then Phylis says that the idea is stupid and Michael has the whole office leave again.
