PREVIEW: "SOMETHING NICE BACK HOME"

Apparently Jack's medical problems -- and we've had more than a suggestion that his appendix is the cause -- will take center stage tonight in what we're being told is a Jack-centric episode.

Who will come to his aid? As far as we know, Juliet is the only person even remotely qualified to help him tonight, although perhaps another doctor will climb out of a hole, somewhere.

If it is Juliet who performs the necessary surgery, the procedure will most likely give us another glimpse into the tentative romantic relationship between Jack and Jules. It may also test the tension that continues to exist between her and Kate.

Oh, who knows?

We're being told that this is a Jack-centric episode , and since it will most probably be a flash-forward, there is a possibility that we will gain some new insight into future-Jack's depression and drug abuse.

If it isn't a FF -- and a flashback would be nice, right about now -- then we should keep our eyes open for Christian, who was spotted in Jacob's cabin (however briefly) and who has been away for so long, we kind of miss him.

In any event, I so enjoyed last week's episode that I'm afraid this one can't possibly measure up. Hopefully, they will surprise us.

I'll be posting my junk around midnight, but you guys can post here anytime during (or immediately after) the show.

It looks like Juliet will operate on Jack, from the previews...
But, as usual, it looks like a lot of simultaneous plots...Sawyer, Claire, Miles and Aaron in the jungle meeting up with Frank.

[I guess we won't get back to Ben/Locke till next episode, from the look of things?]
