Chef Hurley prepares some delicious food for Kate and Jack, who discuss the fact that Juliet and Sawyer are now an item, a fact that went over Kate’s head. I’m not sure what Hurley’s preparing, but it involves waffles, ham and dipping sauces. Now I’m just really hungry.

So is Sayid, as Young Ben brings him another sandwich. But this time there’s a janitor mopping up the cell, a janitor by the name of Roger Linus. Ben’s dad is furious that his son is bringing the Hostile sandwiches and starts roughing him up. I’m torn between by hatred of child abuse and my happiness at seeing Ben get knocked around.

Another flashback or flash forward (depending on how you view time) takes us to the Dominican Republic where Sayid is building homes for charity. Ben shows up to tell him John Locke is dead, and that Hurley is in trouble. He wants Sayid to kill someone else because he thinks that Sayid is a natural born killer. It’s surreal to think that Ben has actually known Sayid for almost his entire life at this point.

Horace, Sawyer and Radzinsky take Sayid to see Oldham, a mysterious old man living in a teepee in the woods. Sawyer tells Sayid that “he’s our you.” Cool, another torturer. The best thing about Oldham is that he’s played by William Sanderson, who played the wonderfully quirky Mayor E.B. Farnum on HBO’s Deadwood. He has Sayid tied to a tree and then feeds him some type of truth serum.
