Tom wants to know why they'd kill Jack. Jack says because theyare done with him. Tom wants to know what kind of people Jack thinks that they are. Jack counters that they kidnapped Claire when she was pregnant, hung Charlie and kidnapped kids. Tom doesn't answer for a moment. He paces around and then taps the glass. He says that he'll get Jack some "stones" for the "glass house" that he's living in. He then says that they need to do "this the easy way." Two Others walk in. Jack allows them to shackle him and lead him out. From AOL clip 2/17/07: In the boat, Kate turns to Sawyer and tells him to stop, because they have to go back. Sawyer argues that they just escape, but Kate says that they can't leave Jack behind. Sawyer says that's exactly what they need to do because Jack asked them to. He then asks her what she thinks "Captain Bunny-killer" will do if he catches them. Karl pipes up and says, "Kill you." He then adds, "God loves you as he loved Jacob." Sawyer sarcastically says thanks to Karl, sorry to Kate and then says that Jack is on his own. From AOL clip 2/17/07: Kate and Sawyer argue. He says that she's feels guilty. She says that she doesn't because they had to leave Jack behind. He then says that he's not talking about Jack, but rather the two of them (their "fling"). From 2nd ABC Promo 2/17/07: As the promo pics already indicated. Tom comes to get Jack from his cell and Juliet is placed there. Jack ends up in the cage where he talks with Cindy. From ABC/CTV Previews 2/10/07: Speculation based on the promo pics: [(Referencing the pics in order on the link below)
In Pic 2, Isabel looks to be supervising Juliet's "arrest."
In Pic 3, Juliet rubs her wrists, now free of the cuffs. She looks to be in the same room where Jack was held, which might explain why Jack has been moved to the cage.
In Pic 4, Alex just looks so excited to be there.
In Pic 5, Tom, Jack and Isabel are likely watching Juliet's video request for Jack to kill Ben. Isabel seems to be acting as Juliet's prosecutor.
In Pic 6, Jack and his Thai tattoo-artist lover, Achara in a scene first glimpsed as a Lost moment.
In Pic 7, we can't tell if Jack is coming or going, but our guess is that he's being moved to the cage so Juliet can move in.
In Pic 8, Jack has likely been brought to check Ben, or at least give the other doctor instructions. Alex can be seen in the background, so she's likely being held there by the Others because of Ben.
In Pic 9, Kate and Sawyer continue their boat trip. Sawyer looks ticked and Kate isn't even paddling. This is likely where Kate argues that they need to go back for Jack, which has been glimpsed in previews
In Pic 10, Kate again isn't paddling, while Karl still looks to be in rough shape.]
