Episode
Two: Jack Hallucinates That
Jennifer Is His Guide to Safety.
[Air date June 24nd,
2004]
Scene
One: Repeat of the previous episode, Davies is showing Jennifer the
digital recording of Jack to convince her to come with him.
JACK:
Jennifer, listen to Davies, and do exactly as he says.
I know it's hard, but.... l.... loo.... look I'll explain everything when
you arrive. (His voice catching) I love you. I need
you. You're my only hope.
Jennifer
is concerned, she asks Davies why Jack could not come on his own. He
tells he has no answers, "I'm just the pilot." All he knows
is that he is supposed to get her and take her to her husband. He tells
her he does not know where Jack is, but does know where he is going
to be in a couple of hours. Jennifer asks if she is supposed to trust
him. He tells her she does not have to trust him, but asks if she trusts
Jack. Indignant she replies, "Of course I do!" Then he tells
her she has nothing to worry about. Though Jennifer is still uncertain.
Scene
Two: Repeat of the previous episode, Jack is lying unconscious in the
jungle. A wild cat growls, its shadow is cast over Jack. He slowly opens
his eyes and becomes conscious of his situation. Jack gets up and screams,
vainly shielding himself with his hand.
There is a flash, and it shifts to Jack, begging no. The scene is
shot with a filter, it appears to be some dream, Jack appears to be
hallucinating now.
JACK:
No! No, get
away! Ahh, away!
We
hear Jennifer's voice, calling his name.
Jack
covers his face with his hand, still mumbling. Jennifer gently reaches
for his arm.
JACK:
Get away!
JENNIFER: Jack. Listen.... listen, it's okay.
Dream
Jennifer is dressed differently than the present day Jennifer. Currently
her hair is permed and curly, in Jack's hallucination her hair is straight,
like the last time he saw her. Jennifer lovingly takes Jack's arm, and
tries to calm him. Jack's eyes are still shut tight, and he is moaning
in fear, and is panting.
JACK:
Ah, Ah....
JENNIFER: It's okay, it's gone. It's gone, nothing is
going to hurt you.
Jennifer
is leaning close to Jack's face, he slowing turns toward her, and opens
his eyes.
JACK:
(Out of breath, his panting starts to diminish) It's you.... (looking
up, but not towards her) It's you. Jennifer it's you (slowing looking
towards her).
JENNIFER: (In a soft, soothing voice) Hi.
JACK: It's you.
JENNIFER: (Trying to calm him further) Shhh..... It's
okay.
JACK: It's you.
Trying
to keep him from getting too excited, she tries to relax him, she
gently puts her hands on him to ease him back to lie down.

JENNIFER:
No, it's all right. You need to lie down. (Holding his chin) You need
to rest. You need to rest. You're okay.
Jennifer
is able to sooth Jack, and he relaxes. Jack is caressing her cheek,
and she is touching his hand
JENNIFER:
(Continuing) I'm here. I'm here for you Jack, and I love
you. I love you so much. And everything is going to
be okay.
Jack
relaxes, closing his eyes.
The
scene then merges into the present. Jack is still lying on the ground
of the jungle, unconscious, yet he reaches for the locket, and grasps
it in his hand.
Scene
Three: Jack is still unconscious, and his holding on to the locket.
The camera focuses onto his face. Then there is a flash.
Jack is hallucinating back to the day he was with Maggie at the
perimeter of the compound. Jack notices the shield going down and he
escapes, just like Maggie's description. We then see Jack run around
in the jungle. He looks around. He moves aside a frond.
JACK:
All right, I made it without getting charred. Ah, it's a sign. I will
get off this island. I'm coming home, Jennifer. I am coming home.
He
pushes aside more fronds, and continues searching for an way out. We
then see him come out of the brush, he then stumbles to prevent him
from going farther because he has come upon the edge of a cliff. He
looks down discouraged.
JACK:
(Panting) Of course, there had to be a ravine.
He
goes into his pocket and takes out the compass, which Tony found [not
sure if it is a continuity error or some clue], and looks at to get
orientated.
JACK:
All right, aaaahhhhhh, (squinting in frustration, and looking down) It's
like a mile down, and nowhere to cross.
Jennifer's
voice is heard, surprising Jack.
JENNIFER:
Have faith, Jack!
Jack
turns around and sees Jennifer. She looks almost illuminated in white
as if she is some celestial guide. She is beaming with joy. Jennifer
runs into his arms.
JACK:
(Not quite believing his eyes) Jennifer? (They run into each other's arms)
Jennifer, ohh.
Jennifer
is giggling with joy, Jack is emotional.
JACK:
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohh....
Jennifer
releases Jack from the hug, and looks up at him. Jack is overcome with
emotion.
JENNIFER:
Listen, what
did you tell me. What did you always tell me, when I
came to a bump in the road?
JACK: (Contemplating) If you can't go
around it...
JACK AND JENNIFER:
...go over it!
Jack
smiles. Jennifer smiles back.
JENNIFER:
Exactly! You go over it. Let's do that. Let's go over
it together, Jack.
Jack
looks around at a vine which is at the edge of the cliff.
JACK:
All right.
They
walk over to the vine, still embracing. Jack reaches for it. Grunting
he pulls it toward them. Jennifer reaches for it, and holds on to it.
Jack gets in back of her, holding on to her.
JACK:
On the count of three, right?
JENNIFER: Yeah.
JACK:
ONE, TWO, THREE.
Jack
pulls back for momentum, and then wraps his legs around her, and pushes
off.
JACK
AND JENNIFER:
WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAA....
They
continue screaming with exhilaration as they disappear out of camera
range.
Back to the present. Jack's face eases into a smile, while his hand
squeezes the locket.
Scene
Four: Jennifer and Davies are inside the plane. Jennifer is not too
certain about the condition of the plane. He sarcastically apologizes
for not being up to her standards, He goes into the cock-pit to prepare
for their flight, and she secures herself in a seat. She then takes
out her purse, and inside her wallet she takes out a photo, it is
of Jack. Jack is smiling and wearing a red checked shirt.
JENNIER:
(Smiling at his photo) Ohh, Jack, I do not know what's going on. I don't
know. But I know that you need my help, and I am on my way.
In
the cock-pit Davies is on the radio talking to someone. He tells the
person that everything is going as planned. With a evil chuckle he
tells the person on the other end that Jennifer suspects nothing.
Jennifer, meanwhile, is rubbing her stomach, smiling. She looks down
and talks to her and Jack's baby.
JENNIFER:
Soon you are
going to meet your daddy.
Scene
Five: Back in the jungle, Jack is still unconscious.
Back in his hallucination Jack is wandering around another part
of the island. He stops, and smiling he has spotted something below.
JACK:
It's a dingy. If I could get down to that shore, and into that boat,
I could be ho.... home by.... (thinking) by Thanksgiving..... (Pausing)
Or at least by Christmas.
A
few yards away a figures slowly appears, as if it is materializing,
there is a strange sound. The figure is Jennifer, she appears as
she did in the other scenes, almost like some celestial, angelic
guide.
JENNIFER:
Just in time to share our baby's first Christmas.
Jack
quickly turns toward her, overjoyed.
Jennifer
grinning a big grin, runs over towards Jack, and throws her arms
around him; Jack returns the bear hug.
JACK:
Jennifer!!!
JENNIFER: Aaaahhh, I missed you soo
much.
JACK: (Overcome with emotion) Ohhhhh.... ohhh, Jennifer.
JENNIFER: I missed you so much, Jack.

Jack
is nearly in tears, he closes his eyes tightly. He uses his hand
to caresses her hair and wipe away his tears.
JACK:
(Overcome with emotion) Ahhh, Ohhh.
They
release each other. Jennifer puts her hands on his arms and looks
into his eyes. As Jennifer is talking Jack cups her cheek in his
hand.
JENNIFER:
Listen to
me..... I'll see you when you get (nodding) home, okay.
Her
hand slips down his arm to his outstretched hand, she places her
other had on his chest. As she steps back, they hold on to each's
finger tips.
JENNIFER:
(Cont.) Don't take too long.
JACK:
If I have you and Abigail (swallows hard full of emotion) and our
new baby (smiling) to come home to I can do anything!
Jennifer
dissolves away. Jack continues to stare into the direction where
Jennifer was, and mouths "anything." Determined he turns
around and returns to the edge, looking down towards where he saw
the dingy. He is still grasping the locket.
JACK:
(Rubbing
his chin with his hand, in concentration) Now, (point) how do we get
down to that boat. (Groaning he climbs over a rock and apparently
begins to climb down) Okay! (Grunting) Ah.... Uhh.
Back
to real time, Jack is still unconscious, and is still clutching
the locket. We then hear his thoughts.
JACK:
I'm coming home to you Jennifer.
Scene
Six: Jack is still unconscious. He moves his foot, and the the camera
pans up his body. He grimaces.
Back into Jack's hallucinations. It apparently
is many years later. Jack hears a helicopter, and run towards the
sound. His clothes are now tattered, he is bare footed, his hair
is long, disheavled, and bleached blonde from the sun, and he has
a very long scraggly beard [he looks like Tom Hanks in Castaway].
He also appears to have become rather buffed in the years on the
island. He runs into a clearing and looks up to the sky towards
the approaching chopper. He squints, and his voice sounds older
and is rather weak and squeaky.
A
ladder is dropped from the chopper.
JACK:
Ahhhh, Ahhh,
(laughing and moving towards the ladder). At last you found me (he
takes hold of two rungs of the ladder. I.... I.... (He looks up and
then thinks of something) wait, what about Jennifer.... (he looks
around and begins to shut) JENNIFER?!! Wai.... Wait a (he feels around
his chest, and looks down) the locket.... MY.... MY LOCKET! I....
No.... NO! [This is a take-off of Tom Hank's character after her loses
the beach ball Wilson] (Jack is upset about the locket, but then realizes
some) No, I've got to get home. I've got to get home to my family
before it's too late. (He starts to climb up the ladder) I'M COMING
HOOOMMMEEEE!!
Back
in the present Jack grimaces again, and twitches.
Scene Seven: Jack still is dreaming, he is twitching. Jack talks
in his sleep.
Back
in Jack's dreams, it is winter, there is snow on the ground. It
is obviously Christmas time because all the plants and trees have
lights on the. Jack is still dressed in rags, and is bare footed.
He reaches the door to his and Jennifer's home, and looks in through
the window. Inside Jennifer and Abigail are decorating their tree.
Jennifer pats Abigail's head, lovingly. Jack watches on with great
love.
Abigail grabs for something, and Jennifer slaps her hand and grabs
hold of it, Abigail has just sneaked another candy cane meant for
their tree.
JENNIFER:
Ah, 'scuse
me, little miss, we have to stop eating the candy canes off the tree.
ABIGAIL: (Playing innocent) What
candy cane?
JENNIFER: (Laughing) Yes, exactly.
Yes finish for Mommy, thank you.
Just
then a young boy about four or five runs into the room. He runs
up to Jennifer and she bends down.
BOY:
Mommy, can
I lick the bowl of the cookie dough.
JENNIFER: Ahhh....
BOY: Pretty please.
Abigail laughs, and Jennifer picks up her son; Abigail watches.
JENNIFER:
(Repeating what he said) "Can you lick the bowl of cook dough,
pretty please?" (Hugging and kissing him) Yeah, when you ask
like that. Go! Go! Go! Go!
Jack
and Jennifer's son runs off. Abigail laughs and watches her brother.
From outside Jack is watching this family scene. He turns from the
window.
JACK:
(Very emotionally) I have a son!

Sighing
three times he turns back to observe the scene. Jennifer turns and
smiles and a man (we do not see his face) walks towards her. They
look up at some mistletoe. She says something inaudible to him,
and they kiss, and she puts her arms around him lovingly. Jack puts
his hand to the window, and looks in in shock, and broken hearted,
watching as they continue to kiss.
Back
in the present, Jack is mumbling in his sleep.
JACK:
Jennifer. (Jack
awakens from his nightmare screaming and panting) NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[Air
date June 25th, 2004]
Scene One: Jennifer has gotten ahold of Patrick and Hope, but
Davies stops her. They have finally changed the tire and have
arrived at the airfield and spot the plane. Hope drives her car
onto the run-way. Davies sees them, and decides he has to take
off now. Hope and Patrick try to keep up with the taxing plane,
but are having difficulties so Patrick jumps onto the wing of
the plane as Hope tries to drive ahead of the plane and pull in
front of it. However, the plane takes off and Patrick screams
as he falls from the wing. Jennifer watches on terrified. She
realizes that she has been set up
Scene
Two: Maggie is filling Alice in on what happened with Tony. Maggie
tells Alice she is worried sick about Jack. They talk about the
possibility that Tony had something to do with his disappearance
because he had Jack's compass. Alice asks if Abe and Roman think
Tony is involved. Maggie says they do, but he denies it. Maggie
then admits to Alice that she did not think well of Jack when he
married Jennifer. She remembered how he treated Melissa. She did
not think he had it in him to be a good husband or father. However,
after Abigail was born she saw how devoted, tender and loving Jack
was. He is a wonderful man who deserves to have a chance to be there
when his child grows up, since he missed so much of Abigail's life.
Alice at first is surprised that Maggie felt that way initially
about Jack, but agrees that Jack is a wonderful man, and deserves
to get a chance to raise his child. Maggie then admits she is terrified
about Jennifer and the baby. Jennifer has a high risk pregnancy,
and though Marlena is a medical doctor she is a psychiatrist, and
there are no medical facilities on the island. She also has a sickening
fear that there may be an even more sinister reason for bringing
Jennifer to the island, what if the person behind it all wants Jack
and Jennifer's baby for some malevolent reason. If it is Stefano
Maggie points out all the horrible things he did to Rex and Cassie.
She shudders at that horror happening to Jack and Jennifer's child.
Alice shudders at the thought as well.
