Inside, Ana-Lucia's going over Henry's improbable story of hot-air-ballooning, wife-dying, and Rousseau-capturing, which he concedes does sound a little silly when it's all laid out like that. She asks him why he doesn't have a beard. Because he shaves. Duh. Like all the men she knows, save Eko. Next question, Ana? She suggests he draw a map that they can use to find the balloon, but he says that if he screws up drawing the map, then everyone will crucify him. Ana's dubious because he was able to navigate in a hot-air balloon, but he can't draw a map? Apples and oranges, says Henry, essentially, but Ana-Lucia asks if he does or does not know where the balloon is. He says he does, because that's where he went to bury his wife, because that was the closest thing to a home for them. "You people have been looking for someone to punish for everything that's happened to you, someone to blame. And now you've got him." After only three days, sounds like he's all caught up. "It doesn't matter what I do; I'm dead already." Yep, all caught up. Ana tells him to draw up the map, and she'll find the balloon: "But if you don't? Things are gonna play out, just like you said."
Elsewhere on the island, Sun is sneaking through the jungle, looking for some place to do her pregnancy test in peace. And with all that jungle, she just happens to run into Hurley, who's munching on a chocolate bar from his secret stash. They're both freaked out to be caught, even if neither actually realizes the other's up to something secret. Hurley makes up some ridiculous story about finding a chocolate bar in the jungle, and then offers to share. She declines, and mercifully doesn't offer to share what she's got hidden behind her back. She says she was just heading to the beach, and Hurley gives her a "later, dude," and after he leaves, Sun continues to examine the "Widmore Labs" home pregnancy test.
Sun and Jin, in a fancy office. Sun's feet, in impossibly high-heeled shoes, are shaking, so we can take it she's nervous. They're seated, holding hands, facing someone's desk. Behind them, in comes -- OH MY GOD IT'S DR. HANSO! Psych. It's just some regular doctor. He says hello to both of them, and asks after Sun's father, and sends his best. He doesn't ask after Jin's father, or order any maki. Sun pleasantly thanks him for seeing them so quickly, but Jin, again like Mr. T, ain't got time for the jibber-jabber, so he asks if the doctor has the results. "I'm afraid, the news is not good," he says. The ultrasound revealed endometriosis -- scar tissue -- blocking the fallopian tubes. Jin instantly pulls his hand away from Sun's. And that won't even be the least sensitive thing he does this scene. The doctor says that even with surgery, Sun's chances of conceiving are impossible. Sun looks stricken. Jin says there must be something he can do. The doctor says he can't, and he's sorry.
