After realizing she stole a pregnant woman's stuff, she (miraculously?) finds Claire outside, offers her a ride and well, kinda becomes Claire's friend, driving her to the would-be adoptive parents of Aaron, and then to the hospital after she goes into labor.
I say it's no coincidence some of these details mirror what happened on the island in 2004. And how cool was it to see Ethan – sorry, Dr. Goodspeed – as Claire's OB-GYN, proclaiming that he didn't want to "stick her with needles" and stuff. That was a definite "whoa" moment.
Back on the island, it's Sawyer who's running, with Kate following. It seems James is pretty devastated by the loss of Juliet (he was going to propose and all) and the depth of his pain seems to take Kate by surprise. Stuff happens in the temple too – Sayid gets tortured as a "test," and it's noted that he, and others like him, might be "infected."
But the big reveal at the end – Claire is alive on the island too, and seems to be Rousseau-ified – is what gave this episode some much-needed punch.
Other observations:
-It would seem Jack has grown a pair. Doesn't he seem a little more feisty and honest? I like it.
-Hurley's taking charge! Finally he gets to do something besides eat and say, "Dude."
-Best quote of the night: "We'll be in the food court" (courtesy of Miles).
-Is Claire wearing a wig? Maybe she got a buzz cut on her hiatus.
-I don't know about you, but I missed the Evil Locke/Ben/Jacob/Sun/Lupidus/Richard/Ilana storyline. Did you? B-

My favorite line was Hurley asking Sayid if he was a zombie.
And I totally agree with you about Jack. I've really been liking him so far this season.
I totally missed the other storyline. It seemed like danger from those guys was imminent, but everyone at the Temple seemed pretty chill and not worried.
And as someone who lives in LA, yes, yes it is miraculous that Kate found Claire.
Madeleine, maybe you'll run into alternate me in LA. Hopefully I won't be hijacked in a cab.
