James “Sawyer” Ford (Josh Holloway) is a detective for the LAPD, with his partner is Miles Straume (Ken Leung). He is searching for Anthony Cooper, the man who conned his parents, causing his father to kill his mother and then himself (as seen in “Outlaws”). He has recently traveled to Australia in his search, telling Miles that he was instead in Palm Springs. Miles arranges for Sawyer to go on a blind date with Charlotte Lewis (Rebecca Mader). The two hit it off; however after having sex, Charlotte discovers Sawyer’s folder containing information on Cooper, leading Sawyer to angrily throw her out.

Miles confronts Sawyer the next day for lying about going to Australia and decides to stop being Sawyer’s partner. After realizing how lonely he is, Sawyer visits Charlotte, who turns him down. Sawyer decides to open up about his past to Miles, right when a car being driven by Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly), a fugitive, crashes into his own. He chases her down, leading him to recognize her from their encounter in “LA X”.

2007

Following the events of the episode “Sundown”, the Man in Black (Terry O’Quinn) leads the Others he has recruited, along with Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews), Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) and Kate, to rendezvous with his other recruit, Sawyer, who is tending to an injured Jin Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim). The Man in Black sends Sawyer on a reconnaissance mission to the smaller Hydra Island to spy on the survivors of Ajira Airways Flight 316. Back at the camp, the Man in Black is forced to break up a fight between Claire and Kate because Claire is angry that Kate has been raising Claire’s son, Aaron. The Man in Black later explains to Kate that he told Claire the Others took Aaron in order to give Claire something to “hold on to”. He also compares himself to Aaron, stating that his own mother was crazy. Claire apologizes to Kate and gives her a hug.

On the Hydra Island, Sawyer encounters a woman named Zoe (Sheila Kelley), who claims to be the only remaining survivor of Flight 316. Sawyer realizes she is lying; a cavalcade of armed men appear and escort him to their leader, Charles Widmore (Alan Dale), who has returned on a submarine. Sawyer makes a deal with Widmore: he will lead the Man in Black into a trap in exchange for safe passage away from the island. Sawyer travels back to the main island and tells the Man in Black about the deal he made, stating that he is loyal to the Man in Black. Sawyer later reveals his true plan to Kate: to turn both sides against each other and escape on the submarine while both sides are distracted.

Twenty-one years later, Casey is meeting the same Col. Keller, his former commanding officer, in his apartment. Keller advises him his team will be testing government security, and during the mission orders him to retrieve something from one of the secured vaults. Outside, Morgan is practicing his spy techniques when he is interrupted by Chuck. Chuck sees Keller leave, and finds Casey’s behavior suspicious. Later at Castle, Beckman issues the team their orders to test the security at a secret government holding facility. Utilizing their skills and The Intersect, the team successfully reaches the vault. Chuck and Casey enter while Sarah stands guard outside, and while Chuck breaks into their target Casey slips away to open another, removing a nondescript pill and slipping it in his gear. Chuck sees this, and when confronted Casey aims his gun at threatens to kill Chuck if he says anything about it.

Back at Castle, Beckman congratulates the team on their success, but reveals the test came too late: Someone has already broken in to the vault and stolen a prototype drug called Laudanol, an emotional suppressant designed for agents to control their feelings in the field that Chuck immediately asks if it could help him control the Intersect properly. He realizes that was what Casey had removed from the vault and, believing that it was a loyalty test as part of their mission, reveals he saw Casey steal it. As Sarah starts for her gun and Beckman confronts Casey, he chooses the plead the 5th and is arrested. While a government team searches Casey’s apartment for the drug, Chuck corners Morgan and views the tape he made of Casey’s conversation with Keller.

Chuck flashes and realizes that Keller works for The Ring and that Casey doesn’t know his commanding officer was a traitor. He confronts Sarah while she assists in the search at Casey’s, and insists they have to help him. Despite the risks, Sarah admits she’s happy to hear Chuck say so and agrees. The two re-infiltrate the base in hopes their security recommendations had not yet been implemented, but are defeated almost immediately. When cornered by a team led by the security specialist, Chuck and Sarah play to his ego and convince him they’re there to review the changes. He then leads them safely to the lower levels where, after another alert is triggered, Sarah knocks him out and steals the keycard needed to access the prisoner holding cells. However they’re too late. An explosion rocks the facility, and they enter in time to see Keller and his men breaking Casey out. Chuck tries to warn Casey that Keller is with The Ring, but Casey admits he already knows.

Chuck and Sarah attempt to escape, but are apprehended and taken to Castle where they meet with Beckman. Beckman reveals that after opening Casey’s sealed file, she discovered that he is actually the same Alexander Coburn whose name Chuck previously flashed on and was recruited by Keller. Coburn was officially killed in action in Honduras, and the same day John Casey appeared as a new recruit on Keller’s black ops team. Beckman orders the team to find and apprehend Casey, dead or alive. Meanwhile, Casey tries to use Morgan to recover the drug from where he hid it, which Chuck had already deduced. He corners Morgan and, playing on his desire to help out on a mission, recovers the pill. Chuck then returns home where Casey is waiting, having guessed Chuck would know where to look. He threatens to kill Chuck if he doesn’t turn over the drug, but Chuck gambles on their friendship and that Casey would be unable to pull the trigger.

As Sarah moves in from behind Casey backs down. He admits to the team that Keller is blackmailing him into recovering the Laudanol: When he was recruited, Casey faked his death, leaving behind a fiancee named Kathleen McHugh (Alexandra Bromstad in flashbacks/Clare Carey present day). Keller is using her as leverage, and threatening to kill her if Casey doesn’t do as he says. Chuck and Sarah convince Casey they can stop Keller and save Kathleen together.

While Chuck heads to Kathleen’s home, Casey arrives at his meeting with Keller. There, Casey reveals he has double-crossed his commander by giving him a symbolic Tic-Tac (Keller had given him a box as a reminder of home in Honduras). Sarah ambushes Keller’s guards while Casey engages Keller. Meanwhile, Chuck tries to get Kathleen out of the house but instead locks her in a closet when Keller’s men arrive. Keller tries again to turn Casey, but Casey realizes Keller would have killed Kathleen regardless, so snaps his neck. Chuck warns the team he was unable to get Kathleen out and can’t flash, and Casey tells him to take the Laudanol. The Laudanol enables Chuck to flash, and he brutally defeats Keller’s men. He is preparing to kill the last of the goons with his bare hands when Casey and Sarah finally arrive, and stops himself when Sarah calls on him to stop and realizes what he nearly did. Casey is reunited with Kathleen, but doesn’t tell her who he is. As the team leaves, Kathleen’s daughter arrives, having seen the police outside. Casey is astonished when he realizes that Alex McHugh (Mekenna Melvin) is his daughter, but stands by his decision not to involve himself in their lives.

At Castle, Beckman drops any charges against the team for their actions, but Casey is summarily discharged and removed from the team. As Chuck escorts Casey out of Castle, Beckman offers Sarah a post in Washington, D.C. Later at Casey’s, Chuck tries to convince him he can still have a chance with the family he never knew he had, but Casey declines, stating the choice he made between love and country was the right one for him. Casey then tells him not to waste his chance with Sarah. Sarah, meanwhile, has returned D.C. to visit Shaw. When asked by the cabbie if she lives there, she only answers that she’s thinking about it.

Ellie and Devon

Devon is still attempting to convince Ellie to join Doctors without Borders with him as a means of getting her safely away from Chuck’s spy life, and tries to get Chuck to get him to talk her into it. However Ellie confides in her brother she has received a Neurology fellowship at USC, a job she has dreamed of since she was a child. Devon is less than thrilled, as he sees getting out of the country as a way to protect Ellie from any further interference by Chuck’s spy life. The two get into a fight and, when going to see Chuck to settle the matter, run into Morgan instead. Devon takes Morgan aside to try and convince him to support him, and in the course of their discussion each discovers that the other knows Chuck’s secret.

Ultimately, Morgan agrees with Devon, but the argument is unsettled. Later on Ellie finally manages to discuss things with Chuck, and decides to go with Devon. When she arrives home to tell him, she instead finds him throwing a private celebration for her, and he admits that it’s Ellie’s happiness that matters, and agrees to support her.
