Juliet is making a new tent when Sun comes up to her. She asks why she is setting up a tent if they are to be rescued soon. Just then Jack arrives asking if anyone has seen Daniel or Charlotte. Jin says that he saw them walk into the jungle, and then he said he didn't mention about it because "Jack said they are friends". Jack and Juliet head into the jungle to search for them.

As Juliet walks through the jungle, she starts to hear whispers. She turns around, and sees Harper, her therapist when she first arrived on the Island. She says that Ben told her to tell Juliet that Daniel and Charlotte are heading to the Tempest, and she must stop them at all costs, because if they figure out how to release the gas, everyone will die. She then says that Ben is currently in a position where he wants to be. Jack appears, and sees her, and asks who she is. She says she is an old friend of Juliet's and is telling her where to find the people they are looking for. The whispers are heard again, and she disappears.

Daniel and Charlotte are by a stream, looking at a map of the Island. Daniel has doubts over whether he can accomplish his mission. Kate appears, and Charlotte points her gun at her. Daniel says to put the weapon down, because she is not a threat. Kate asks what they are doing in the jungle, and Charlotte says the batteries in the satellite phone had ran out, and they were looking for some. Kate sees the phone in the bag with a green light on and gets suspicious. She look inside the bag, and finds gas masks, and at that moment, Charlotte knocks her out.

Jack and Juliet walk in the jungle discussing about Harper. Juliet says that she was her therapist, and the comments they shared should be kept a thing of the past. Jack says she knows everything about his past in a file, and Juliet says that he would not want to see her file.

Claire goes to Locke, who is cleaning a rabbit, and requests that she speaks with Miles, because she wants to know who they are and where they came from. Locke does not allow this, and reminds her of what Charlie said about the boat. Claire says that all Charlie said was who's boat it wasn't, and she wants to find out who's boat it is.

Locke brings Ben new clothing and food. Ben asks if the rabbit being served to him had a number on it. Before Locke leaves, Ben asks if the "revolution" has begun yet. He says that if Locke makes a bad move, his followers will create an insurrection against him. Ben starts talking about leadership, but Locke stops by mentioning the $3.2 million. Locke sarcastically gives Ben a dollar. Ben then persuades Locke to let him live in a house, given that Ben reveals some information that Locke wants.

Juliet and Jack find Kate, who became conscious after being knocked out by Charlotte. Jack tends to her, and Juliet walks away. Kate tells Jack about seeing the gas masks, and says they are heading to a power station. Jack calls for Juliet, but she is already gone.

Ben and Locke make a deal, and Ben tells him to open a safe, which is behind a painting. Locke opens the safe, and in it is a videotape called Red Sox. Ben says he taped over it, and it is about the man who owns the Freighter. He plays it, and the video shows a man blindfolded, who Ben says is one of his, who had the misfortune of being captured. A man walks out of a car, Charles Widmore. The man is beaten up, and Widmore looks at the camera just before it ends. Ben then says that in Florida, the Virgin Mary appeared on a patch of mold, and 5000 people came to visit. He asks Locke how many people would go to see him, a person who survives a plane crash, and recovers from being confined to a wheelchair. Locke asks who is Ben's spy, and Ben says he will tell, but he will need to sit down.

New Clues:

• There is a new Dharma station called the Tempest.

New Information:

• We find out that the only reason that Goodwin was sent to the tail section was because Ben wanted to have him killed.
• We find out how the Others killed the DHARMA Initiative. Although we already knew they died from poisonous gas, we didn't know where it came from.

Questions:

• Why do Daniel and Charlotte want to stop Widmore?
• What did Ben tell Locke?
