Wheeeeeee!!!!!

Thanks, Jessica, for sharing the good spoiler crack!

My God, that plane trip was like the voyage of the damned, or something.

PLANE OF FOOLS anyone?

Walt's mom remarries *really* fucking fast, and her new husband adopts Walt.

Okay, it's really, really hard to do this without the biological father's permission.

The week after that is "Homecoming," in which Claire is returned, still pregnant, but with amnesia. Charlie is heartbroken that she doesn't remember him. Everyone else is freaked the hell out. Charlie (who is the last ep liberated Claire's diary from Sawyer), gives Claire back her diary, and Claire reads it, trying to remember. Sayid is suspicious, because, as he points out to Jack, real amnesia? Kinda rare. Like, really rare.

Ethan shows up and demands that Claire be returned to him. If she is not, he says, he will kill someone. And he will continue to kill one person every day until she is returned. So they get out the gun's from the case and set up a perimeter, which fails, and Scott is murdered. They bury him next to the marshall. Nobody likes that they have a graveyard, after only being on the island a month.

In flashbackland, Charlie is a pathetic heroin addict who's been scamming rich girls into inviting him over for dinner so he and his heroin supplier buddy can break in later and steal things. (In the club where they're looking for rich girls to pick up, we will see Sawyer in the background. ContinuityYay!) Unfortunately, Charlie really likes this most recent one, and instead of stealing from her, he decides to take a job selling copiers and go straight. He still needs one last fix, though, and so he steals a cigarette case from her house right before going out to make his first sales pitch. The sales pitch goes really badly because withdrawal overtakes him, and he vomits all over everything. The cigarette case is discovered on him by the paramedics, and his relationship with Lucy is over.

Okay, it's really, really hard to do this without the biological father's permission.

I think it's easier when both the biological mom AND her new husband are lawyers with money to burn, and the biological father is a starving artist who hasn't seen the kid since he was 2.

Also, if the father doesn't know what rights he has -- and many men don't, or assume they don't have any -- he's less likely to even try. Even hiring a lawyer to find out can be expensive and intimidating.

Jessica, which one is Scott?

Scott is the one that's not Steve.

As much fun as it was having the show back last night, Alias was better on paper. TWO SpyDaddy scenes were cut, and the other changes just felt awkward.

(I'm hoping that Vaughn thanking Jack for killing Irina will be added back into a later ep, because that conversation made me really happy.)

Okay, I'm geeked about the sickness of Shannon/Boone. Finally, something messy.

Kneecapping the bankrobbing boyfriend you're femme fatale-ing isn't messy?
