http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6867118/ Sun rises again: Sweethearts Sun and Jin were fighting again, with Jin angry enough about Sun being alone gardening -- where she was almost kidnapped -- that he uprooted her plants. After Sun managed to get a pregnancy test from blabbermouth Sawyer, she had got one big surprise on her hands. Doubly so since she and Jin had tried desperately to conceive in Korea, but found out they couldn't. Back in the garden, she had a surprise for Jin: Their inability to conceive wasn't due to endometriosis, as their doctor said, but because, as the saying goes, his boys couldn't swim. This means another baby's due on the island ... and little Aaron has shown just how interested the Others are in little ones. Hey, Daddy-O: Jin was desperate for a child in Korea, hoping it might prompt Sun's heartless father to let Jin give up his sadistic ways. "A baby will change everything," he told his wife. But his temper was on display, both in the doctor's office in Korea and in Sun's garden. Yet Jin shows the capacity to change. By episode's end, he was back in the garden, repairing his damage, brimming with joy at being an expectant dad. He also realized Sun is his only link to the rest of the castaways, and the only way he'll ever learn to communicate. "I love you," he tells his wife -- in English. The two make a mighty sweet couple. And a note to the producers: Sun in slinky negligee and a very shirtless Jin? You like us! You really like us! Good cop: Ana Lucia's known for her tough-girl ways, but she was the one Locke called in to sweet-talk prisoner Henry Gale. She confessed to Henry her screw-up throwing Nathan in a hole, when in fact it was Goodwin who was an Other: "Good news for you, Henry. I don't make the same mistake twice." The would-be Minnesotan drew her a map to his lost smiley-face balloon, and she enlisted Sayid, of all people, to help her track it down. More importantly, she and Sayid caught some quiet time together. She sincerely apologized for shooting Shannon, telling him, "You've got a good reason to hate me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did." Holding a grudge: Sayid's reply to Ana was even more shocking. "You were trying to protect your people," he tells her, thinking back to his quality time in the cell with Henry Gale. "It wasn't you that killed Shannon. It was them, and once we find out he is one of them, then something will have to be done." They haven't found the balloon, but you could see from the trailer that they will. Even so, Henry won't be happy when Sayid gets back to the hatch. Permission slip: Locke and Jack have been sniping at each other for a while, and now it's coming to a head. Ana Lucia suggested checking with Jack before she interrogated Henry, a move sure to push Locke's buttons. "I don't need Jack's permission ... ," he snapped back. "Right now, there's a man sitting in my hatch, and I want him out." Your hatch, Locke? Your hatch? You're starting to sound a bit like Sawyer, pal. Possession may be nine-tenths of the law, but we didn't see Jack giving up his portion of the last bunker in paradise. Maybe that's why Locke was listening to Oingo Boingo's "Kiss My A--." Examining the doctor: Jack let a ragged-looking Henry out of his cell for a bowl of Dharma-Os. And Henry was quick to pick up on the Jack-Locke tension: "Wow, you guys have some real trust issues, don't you?" He revealed he'd drawn a map for Ana Lucia, and when he realized neither Cap'n Jack nor Mr. Clean knew about it, he decided to poke a big stick into their shared paranoia. If he were an Other, he said, "I'd draw a map to a real secluded place ... a good place for a trap. An ambush." Balloon or no, the Wizard of Hot Air sure seems to be acting Otherly these days. A day to remember: Looks like Rose and Bernard have picked up the bickering where Sun and Jin left off. You forgot her birthday, Bernard? Being stuck on Craphole Island is no excuse! He did try to make amends by catching oysters to find pearls for Rose. Too bad, as fisherman Jin pointed out, that there aren't any to be found.
