The Season 3 opener is show number 48 of 82 and opens with a seeming normal book club meeting in a suburban home with absolutely no one we know. Yet. There is what seems like an earthquake and when it is over thy run outside, we see a familiar face and when they look up there is a jetliner in the sky breaking into pieces. This is the Others watching the arrival of Oceanic Flight 815 a couple months ago. From here we jump to the present where we see Kate getting put in a dress to dine with Ben, Sawyer in an animal cage and jack in a room with a giant Plexiglas wall. This episode is well structured and we get some fun interaction between our love triangle survivors and their captors, but a lot of time is spent with Jack and this new woman from the Others, Juliet. The flashback concerns Jack and his divorce from Sarah and his mistrust of his father. Somehow Jack has been thrust into the hero leader role on the island, but the more we learn of his past the less sympathetic he becomes.
