Cassidy can't quite stomach Kate's company now that she knows she's there at Sawyer's behest, so Kate makes to go. They then have an expository discussion in which we learn that Kate's pretty much told Cassidy all the truth behind the Big Lie. The only thing Kate hasn't confessed is that Aaron isn't her own. Cassidy wants to know why Kate trusts her, and so do I. I mean Kate, you met the women while she was scamming people?! Is this that honor among thieves thing? Kate says she trusts Cassidy because Clementine has a right to know that her father cares. Unresponsive, move to strike, Your Honor.

Cassidy asks why Sawyer didn't come back with the rest of the Oceanic 6. Cass, because then they'd have to be the Oceanic 7, which rhymes with 11 and that stands for cool. It would be too confusing, duh. Kate doesn't get all that math stuff, so she explains that Sawyer jumped from Frank's chopper because he's a big damned hero. Cassidy slaps her with the long, cooling fingers of reality. "He was trying to get away from you. I told him he had a daughter. He never so much as lifted a finger to try to call her." (To be fair, Cass, you slapped his ass in prison.) She's not in the mood to be fair. "So now I'm supposed to think he's a hero because he told you to come here and help us? Hell, I bet this money's not even his, is it?" Kate admits that it's part of her own settlement from Oceanic. (Again, to be fair, Sawyer did set up a bank account for the tyke, but I don't think anyone knows about that but us.) Cassidy tells Kate she's just whipped, and then asks her if her son is Sawyer's. Kate tells the truth about Aaron not being Sawyer's baby, while she continues the lie that he's, you know, hers. She claims she was pregnant before she met James. The writers must have a lot in store for us this week, because Cassidy jumps directly to the correct conclusion that Aaron isn't Kate's. "Kate, you just told me that you and your friends cooked a story for the whole world about what happened on that island. So you tell me the truth about that? Why are you lying to me about him?" Kate smiles through the tears she'd surely produce if the DP would just give her 10 seconds longer, and says, "Because I have to." Cassidy's face comes all over with an Oh I Get It look. That makes one of us, girlfriend, and we jump to...
