After the flash, they realised that only the rope was there now, and Sawyer tried to help Locke, but Juliet stopped him because they were in the far past. Miles agreed because of the statue which they all looked at. Another flash came which this time affected them all hard, and Sawyer realised that the well was now there and tried to go in after Locke but when he jump in, he realised only the outer base was built and there was no actual well. Juliet realised that her headache was gone and soon so did the rest of them, they realised that the flashes were now over, and that Locke had did it. Sawyer told them that they just have to wait for them to come back. They made it to Daniel who informed them that because Charlotte was dead, she was left behind in the flash. Dnaiel told them about them staying here for good and since they are now staying Sawyer insisted that they go to the beach because when they return, that is where they will look for them, Miles rejected this, but Juliet agreed. Claire said "anything that will mean I get home to my baby sooner because I will not waste a second longer without him then necessary".

Charlie agreed to "I just want of this island".

They all went back to the beach and Sawyer wanted to know Juliet quickly agreed with him because they would still be arguing were to go. They then heard gunshots and Sawyer, Juliet, and Charlie all point there guns at the direction of where the shots were coming from. They go to investigate when they see a woman being held by the two men around her. Miles suggests leaving her, but Sawyer and Juliet go to save her. Sawyer and Juliet kill the two men and when they all approach her Juliet notices that her friend is wearing a Dharma jumpsuit which means that they are in the seventies or eighties and the men that they killed were past Others. Sawyer lies about them being from a shipwreck and that they need to leave now. The woman insists that they have to take her husband Paul back and bury the Others because of a truce, which they agree to. Sawyer tells Juliet, Mile, Charlie, and Claire about him taking the lead in their story. Juliet shouts for Daniel to stop because he is about to walk through the fence. Juliet orders the woman to turn the fence off, but the woman hesitates. Sawyer reminds her that they saved her life and buried bodies for her, she turns it off and after Sawyer's insistence she walks through first and they follow in suit. All of them are struck by the fence as they walk through and pass out because the woman didn't turn it off but plugged her ears. Sawyer is taken to meet Horace because he and his friends saved the woman Amy, and they are talking to him because he was the boat captain. Sawyer lies about his name being James Lafluer and his shipped wreck in a storm, luckily, they washed upon shore, and they were a salvage vessel looking for a ship called the Black Rock. They were wandering through the jungle looking for some of their crew, Horace informs them that if they find any of their crew; they'll send them home like them. Sawyer tries to get them to allow his people to stay for at least two weeks but Horace refuses because only people who are part of the Dharma initiative are allowed to live here and they are not Dharma material. Daniel informs them about being here for good and that they are no longer flashing Claire remarks "well this isn't good because how are our friends going to come here, how are we going to get back to our own time".

Juliet responded "we've just got to hope because there is literally nothing we can do".

Claire said "and that's what I can't stand because I'm lost to my son, and I can't do a single goddamn thing about it".

Horace and Sawyer return informing them about how someone will show them to their rooms soon and be placed on the submarine tomorrow. An alarm then goes off and they are led to a house, and they look out the window to see Richard. Horace goes to talk to him and after he returns, he warns Phil to warn the Aarow that they are now at condition 1. Sawyer insists on going out there and solving it himself by talking to Richard. Sawyer talks to Richard about their leader John Locke and makes a deal that they'll take Paul's body with him and the truce stays intact. Amy reluctantly agrees and Horace allows Sawyer, Juliet, Charlie, Claire, Jin, Miles, and Daniel two weeks in the Barracks. Sawyer informs Juliet of this, but she wants to leave the island because she's been trying to for three years. Sawyer reminds her that she'll leave in 1974 before saying "you really going to leave me with the mad scientist, and Mr I speak to dead people and Jin who is a hell of a nice guy but not exactly the greatest conversationist. Then there's the unbreakable couple of Charlie and Claire, literally nothing can separate them; or at least for too long because if a drug addiction, death, and the assumed death of the kid couldn't do it, nothing will".

Juliet tells him "you'll be fine".

Sawyer responds "maybe but who is gonna get my back". He then tells her "come on just give me two weeks. That's all I'm asking for; two weeks".

Juliet relents "alright two weeks".

Three years later:

Jerry and Phil are at the security monitors when they notice Horace blowing up trees with dynamite, they go to get Lafluer. Sawyer who is mad to be woken up but puts on his Dharma jumpsuit being head of security and goes to get him Miles. Miles puts out the fire and cleans up the dynamite while Sawyer returns him to a heavily pregnant Amy. Amy informs him that they had an argument about Paul when she realises that the baby is coming. Sawyer takes her to the clinic but the doctor there says that because she's two weeks early and not trained; he doesn't know if he can deliver this baby. Sawyer goes to get Juliet and asks for her help because she needs a caesarean. She initially refuses because every time she's tried to help a woman give birth on this island it hasn't worked. Sawyer suggests that whatever caused that hasn't happened yet. Juliet checks on her and demands the doctor listen to her, he initially refuses and wants to get Horace, but Sawyer insists that he listens. Amy listens and wants Juliet. The doctor relents and after Sawyer tells her that she'll do great Juliet asks "and get Claire, to help me".

Sawyer goes to Claire's house and when she answers, Sawyer tells her "Claire, Juliet needs you at the clinic".

Claire asks "what's the problem".

Sawyer tells her "Amy's gone in Labour, and she needs your help".

Claire responds "well I do know what it's like to give birth on this island".

Claire follows Sawyer to the clinic to help Juliet with Amy.

Sawyer waits outside as Jin and Charlie come round in their security jumpsuits and tell them about where they searched. Charlie says, "me and Jin been talking and we gotta ask how long do we look James".

Sawyer answered, "as long as it takes".

Claire then came out and hugged Charlie with him telling her "Heard about what you did in there".

Claire said "yeah I did pretty good".

Charlie responded "what else could I expect from my beautiful wife".

Sawyer said "please can you save your marriage bliss for your home, where I don't have to look at it".

Claire said "oh come on Lafleur, can't we show that we're happy together".

Sawyer remarked "yes but to me it's disgustingly lovey dovey".

Claire said "fine, we'll take the lovey dovey far from you".

Sawyer went home later to Juliet who was making dinner, and both gave her a flower and told her how great she did today. They then kissed and told each other that they loved each other. Sawyer then goes to Horace and tells him about Amy giving birth to their son, Horace then tells Sawyer about the fight they had because he found a necklace that was Pauls. Horace wonders if three years is enough to get over someone and Sawyer tells him that it is because he used to love someone but now can't remember her face. Sawyer goes home and sleeps with Juliet.
