Whatever the Case May Be
No matter what she does, no matter how she makes you feel...
Jack has tried for a week to get the Marshall's words out of his head. He has tried to let her actions defend her against, to speak for her, to prove to him who she really is. He has watched her with the other survivors, he has been on hikes with her to rescue their friends, he has seen all that she was willing to sacrifice to keep them safe. And in his heart he believes in her. In his heart he believes the Marshall was wrong.
Don't trust a word that she says. She will do anything to get away.
He sees her palm the key; lie to him while she holds it in her tightly clasped hand. He knows in his heart that she was using Sawyer before, that she is using him now. He goes along, even after calling her on it, threatens Sawyer with the medicine. And they open the briefcase, together, like he said they would. His voice rises every time he asks her, again, the toy airplane twisting between her fingers, and every time she answers he hears her lies. His voice rises again and she finally breaks - the man she loved, the man she killed - and his heart falls heavily in his chest as he turns away from her, her tears spilling down her cheeks.
She got to you, too, huh?
