Plot summary

Woo-Jung asks Jin to intimidate a government official, who fails to appease him. Woo-Jung sends a hitman, but Jin brutalizes the official instead to save his life and argues with Sun upon returning home bloodstained. Distraught, he reconciles with his estranged father, who advises him to run away with Sun upon landing in America. In the present, Sayid and Shannon begin a relationship. Michael intervenes when Jin and Sun argue over her wearing a bikini, leading to a fight between the men. The raft Michael has been building is burnt that night and he attacks Jin, which is broken up by Sun revealing her English.

Locke convinces the survivors that the raft was burnt by the Others, but privately tells Walt he knows he burnt the raft because he enjoys life on the island. Jin refuses Sun's offer to reconcile and helps Michael rebuild the raft, while she goes to the beach alone in her bikini.
