3:07 Not In Portland (NIP)

Inside the Hydra's operating room, Tom tries to order Juliet to stitch Ben back up, but Jack informs him that she's not a surgeon and can't do it. Juliet tells one of the Others in the operating room, Ivan, to find Danny and then bring back Austen and Ford dead or alive. She reveals to Jack that his plan isn't going to work as they're on a smaller island two miles off-shore of the main island. In retaliation, Jack reveals to Tom that Juliet asked him to kill Ben, to make it look like an accident, and that she would protect him. Juliet tries to deny the allegations, but Tom orders her to leave. Tom questions Jack about if what he said was true, but Ben wakes up and asks them to bring back Juliet. Returning to the operating room, Juliet speaks alone with Ben while Jack and Tom watch them from behind a glass screen. Commenting on Juliet's obvious distress, Tom comments that "they (Ben and Juliet) have a history". After exiting the room, Juliet tells Tom and Jack that she's to help Jack's friends escape. Jack continues the surgery with only Tom for help, but accidentally nicks one of Ben's arteries. As he works to fix the artery, Kate comes over the radio and tells him they're safe, relaying to him the story he told her to remember. Jack makes her promise never to return to the island for him and has Tom shut the radio off. After successfully finishing the surgery, Juliet returns and finds Jack watching over Ben. He asks her what Ben said to make her want to save his life. Juliet reveals to Jack that she's been on the island for 3 years, 2 months and 28 days. Ben told her if she let him live and helped Jack that he would finally let her go home.

Out in the Hydra's cages, Sawyer and Kate subdue their captors, including Pickett, and lock them inside the polar bear cages before running. Ivan eventually finds Pickett, frees him, and the Others take off in search of Kate and Sawyer. They corner the two in the jungle, but Alex appears and helps them hide inside a camouflaged trap door. Alex strikes a bargain with Kate and Sawyer: they can use her boat to get to the other island if they help rescue her boyfriend, Karl. She leads them to where she believes Karl is being held, a run-down building guarded by a young Other named Aldo. Under the guise of being Alex's captive, Sawyer ambushes Aldo and Kate gets the information on Karl's whereabouts by threatening to shoot Aldo's knees. The group find Karl in a room with loud music playing and Karl strapped down to a chair with an IV drip in his arm, and being forced to watch a surreal montage of video and text. The group escapes from the facility before Pickett and the Others arrive. Juliet catches up with Pickett and informs him that Ben is letting them go, but Pickett refuses to believe Juliet and goes after them on his own. At the beach, Kate, Sawyer and Alex prepare the boat to leave but Pickett appears and is about to shoot Sawyer when Juliet shoots Pickett twice in the chest. Juliet lets Kate and Sawyer leave, but tells Alex that she's staying — the only way her father, Ben, is going to let Karl live is if she's there when he wakes up.
