Didn’t really learn a lot from this episode. Seemed to be more of a filler episode, but with the impending writers’ strike on the horizon in the fall, I’m not sure why they chose to write this the way they did.

Anyway, this one is centered around Juliet. Ends up showing her interaction during her first week on the island. Ben gives her a house, she’s meeting with a shrink and Tom is back with a snappy new mustache.

Back on the beach, Charlotte and Farraday are gone. Jack and crew go to find them. Shrink shows up in the jungle and tells Juliet that Ben wants her to stop Charlotte and Farraday at all means necessary.

Locke and Ben have a nice discussion and exchange. Ben tells Locke he can help him, and shows him a video of Charles Widmore roughing up some punk in an alley. Ben tells Locke “I’ll tell you my man on the boat” (w/ 20+ minutes left). They cut to commercial, and never revisit the subject.

Juliet finds Charlotte and Farraday in one of the stations called “The Tempest” where Farraday is frantically working on a computer. Charlotte and Juliet fight, and Farraday ends up shutting down the system that would end up spilling gases all over the island.

At the end of the show, we see Hurley and Sawyer playing horseshoes when all of a sudden Ben comes walking out of Locke’s house, be-bopping along with a fresh pair of sheets and clothes. Saywer asks, “what the hell are you doing?” Ben replies, “see you guys at dinner,” and goes into another house.

End.

There were some more details in this episode, but overall, it was pretty slow.
