They either had to be Ben’s porn stash or old surveillance tapes, difficult to tell since he probably got off on both.

Best line about Ben EVER, let me tell you. Your Sawyer POV was gorgeous here. I loved his interaction with Juliet and it makes sense he wouldn't trust Penny. Bad move, James, bad move.

Ouch, poor Jack and Kate! Of course now that she's disappeared things aren't wound to go well. And I really felt for both of them here. Jack going to Shannon's dance school made me teary. Again. LOL about Artz's daughters. And he fixed Clementine! Though the fact that Cassidy isn't in the picture doesn't smell good for her. *off to 9*

Thank you. I am also really fond of this chapter. It was the beginning of the end for Kate and Jack, what all the other parts had been leading up to, so I felt satisfaction driving in that wedge. And my first Sawyer POV, so it will always be close to my heart. I also liked his assessment of Ben. You will find out a little more about Cassidy in the final part.

I can't believe you haven't taken a break! You are insane! You should be so sick of me by now. After this, we won't talk for weeks.

Nah. I told you that it took me a year because once I get in long series I end up not taking pauses ;) and nah, I'm not getting sick of you anytime soon ;)

You are sweet!
