Dear Diary: Aaaaiiiieeeee!

That night, back at camp, Mercutio says he has a present for Walt, who likes art so damn much, and he hauls out the box of letters -- every letter, every card that he sent Walt for eight years. "You wrote me?" says Walt. "I never saw these." Mercutio says nothing, obviously deciding that badmouthing Walt's mom won't win him any points. Walt wonders why his mom never gave them to him. Mercutio doesn't know, but gallantly points out that Susan did save them, so some part of her did want Walt to have them. Well, how big of her. "So, you drew these," says Walt. Mercutio says he did, and pulls out the Hallmark rip-off card with the sunburned penguin on it and says he did that one for Walt's second birthday. "A penguin with a sunburn?" says Walt skeptically, reading the card. "That's dumb." Like, Walt's dad saves him from a polar bear and he still can't laugh at the old man's jokes?

Apparently Charlie has lost the battle of his conscience and is unabashedly reading Claire's diary. She seems to have listed things that she misses, stuff that I guess Charlie hasn't had time to pantomime so she doesn't miss them anymore. And she's written a bunch of things about Charlie too, like "makes me feel safe" and "adorable" and "not the kind of guy who would read my diary" and "why do all the LOTR actors get screwed at the Oscars every year?" Personally, I'm disappointed the final entry doesn't consist of: "Dear Diary: Today I talked to Charlie. Hey, what's that noise? Who are you? Aaaaiiiiieeee!!!!" with a long jagged mark trailing off the page. Something catches Charlie's eye, and he scoots off to find Jack, who's sitting by a fire with Sayid. Charlie gets past the initial awkwardness of admitting that he's read Claire's diary ("yeah, I'm bloody scum") as he tells them that she's written of a recurring dream about a black rock: "I try to leave it but it won't let me." Jack's blowing it off as just a dream, but Sayid says "the Frenchwoman" said something about her team returning from the black rock. They put two and two together and speculate that the triangle on the map might be the black rock, and might also be where Claire is. There's a few leaps of logic there, but Charlie's all gung-ho to look for her right now. "Charlie, we all want to find Claire," says Jack, in one of the more unintentionally hilarious lines of the season. He says it makes no sense to go after her in the middle of the night. Or during the day, or in the morning, or at all...
