LOST Season 2: Ep.13 - "The Long Con"

CHARACTER MODE

We have come to known Sawyer as egoist, self-fish and crude individual but by the end of this episode we learn something about Sawyer that has been long overdue, evil. From the previous season, we learned Sawyer's childhood was ruined when his dad killed him self and his mom because of a con man named 'Sawyer', a name James picked up when he followed the con man to seek revenge until he became the person he was looking for. We also he got tricked by his long time associate into killing an innocent man in Australia who he thought was the actual 'Sawyer'. In this episode we learn how far Sawyer is willing to go for the sake of finishing the con. Cassidy becomes Sawyer's victim in the episode when he plays the same game he did with other divorced and desperate women until Cassidy figures it out. Instead of turning Sawyer in she joins Sawyer in his con life. Months pass by as both do simple con missions until Cassidy asks for the long con and by the end of the episode we learn Cassidy was the long con all along. Sawyer knew she had the money but in the end he decides not to go through when his employer shows up, reminding him what it is at stake. So Sawyer finishes the job anyway and forever loses the only one he ever loved.

STORY MODE

On the island, new forms of relationships are established since the plane crashed.Tensions arise when Sun is dragged out in the woods by Charlie who wanted Locke to feel stupid and lonely by helping Sawyer get hold of all the guns. This happened because Jack and Ana Lucia, who have deep hatred for the 'Others' try to take the guns when Locke figures it out and hides them. This produces the divide between Locke and Jack even further when their trust among each other is shattered. The role of Ana Lucia brings some jealousy within Kate who has great doubts about her and comes forward with it to Jack and now Jack has some second thoughts about what Ana Lucia is capable of. All in all the rest of this is easily over shadowed now that Sawyer has all the guns everybody needs. To some extent it is good for the crew, so that they don't get emotional and run of into the jungle but at the same time its dangerous to have all guns in the hands of a con man who doesn't care much about the rest of the crew.
