watching your back
Juliet's a good general: she has no tells. Her strategies are a mystery, which is surprising given her obvious motive is self-preservation.
She's kicking Sawyer's ass at Risk, maybe because she was playing it thirty years from now, on this very board they unboxed new yesterday. She smiles enigmatically as he contemplates his move, and he's thinking about a time he was here playing in this settlement but she wasn't. Then, she was looking for rescue. With Jack.
Days later, it was James who talked her off a submarine home. Now, as she's watching him make his move, he realizes he's probably had her motives wrong all along.
