A young Sun Kwon runs away frightened after smashing a glass ballerina. Later, her father confronted her to ask if she broke the glass ballerina. Sun lied, telling her father that it was the maid who broke the ballerina. She stood by her story even though her father told her that he would fire the maid if Sun accused her.

Years later, an older Sun laid in bed with Jae Lee. Jae Lee offered her a string of pearls, saying that he didn't want to share her anymore. Before she could answer, Sun's father broke into the room, told Sun to get dressed, and warned Jae Lee that his actions would have consequences.

Mr. Paik assigned Jin, Sun's husband, the task of "delivering a message" to Jae Lee. Paik made it clear that he wanted Jae dead. When Jin refused, threatening to quit if this must be his job, Paik called Jin "son". Jin went home, and was further aggravated by Sun and her risky suggestion to run away to another part of the world. He finally stormed out to deliver the message.

At the hotel, Jin violently attacked Jae Lee. He warned him to leave Korea and never return. As Jin got into his car, the body of Jae Lee suddenly landed on the hood, clutching Sun's pearl necklace. At Jae's funeral, Sun asked her father whether or not he would tell Jin about Jae Lee's relationship with her. He said that it was not his place to do so, and left, telling Sun to go home to her husband.

As Ben and Juliet shared a moment outside Jack's cell, Colleen ran up to warn Ben that Sayid had discovered the decoy village, and that he had somehow aquired a sailboat. Ben told her to gather a team and capture that boat.

Sayid, Jin, and Sun debated over the best course of action, and finally settled on moving to a different part of the island to light another signal fire. As they built the signal fire, Sun wondered aloud why it was so large. Sayid admitted that he suspected the other party had been captured, and intended to attract an attack by the Others to capture two of them as hostages. He knew that Jin would be too concerned with Sun's safety to carry out this plan, and asked her to lie to him until it was time. Jin, however, told Sun that he had learned more English than she thought, and understood her betrayal.

Once night fell, a group of Others boarded the sailboat from the water, avoiding Sayid and Jin's trap on the beach. Colleen found Sun below deck, and Sun shot her in the stomach and barely escaped the boat under heavy fire. She jumped overboard, and swam through the darkness back to Jin.

While Sawyer and Kate were working outside, Sawyer kissed Kate in an apparent display of romantic passion. When Pickett stepped in to roughly break the two apart, Sawyer punched him, sparking a fight. The resistance was finally put down when Juliet held Kate at gunpoint. Once back in their cages, Sawyer revealed that he did it to test the strength of their guards.

In the shark tank, Ben visited Jack and formally introduced himself as Benjamin Linus. He told Jack that he would need him to do something for him in the future. Ben then showed Jack a video of the Red Sox winning the World Series, as proof that they had contact with the outside world and could take Jack home.
