Episode Notes
"CR 4-81516-23 42" appears on the vials of yellow vaccine that Ethan injects Claire with.

There were 4 Oceanic Airlines planes on the mobile that Claire turns on.

When Claire turns on the mobile, it plays Catch A Falling Star. Back in season one, Claire asked the prospective adoptive parents if they knew this song and whether they could sing it to the baby occasionally.



Episode Quotes
Claire: You stay away from us!
Danielle Rousseau: He's infected, isn't he?
Claire: What?
Danielle Rousseau: Your child. He's sick.
Claire: Just get away... YOU GET AWAY FROM US!
Danielle Rousseau: You don't remember, do you?

Claire: What if he caught something really bad? Like some kind of an infection?
Jack: Infection? Where did you get that idea?
Kate: Rousseau was here.
Jack: What did she say to you?
Claire: She said she knew he was sick. Okay? That he's infected.
Jack: Claire, there is no infection. We've been on this island for two months and no-one's gotten sick. Rousseau's crazy!

Claire: So you're a shrink, right?
Libby: I'm a clinical psychologist but 'shrink' works, too.
Claire: Can you help people to remember things?
Libby: I guess it depends on what you need to remember.

Claire: You know, I have amnesia. There's two weeks missing from my life.
Libby: Claire, I don't think you have amnesia. You know, sometimes when something terrible happens to us, there's a little switch in your head that flicks on to protect us from having to deal with it. Maybe your memories aren't gone. Maybe you're just blocking them.

Jack: Do you have to go to the bathroom?
Henry Gale: No.
Jack: Well, just let us know when you do.
Henry Gale: Yeah, I'll look forward to that.

Locke: What are we doing, Jack?
Jack: What are we doing?
Locke: We can't hide him down here forever. Changing shifts around is gonna get people asking questions, I just want to know what the long term plan is.
Jack: Well, John, let me ask you this. We don't have a long term plan for the button but we keep pushing it, don't we?

Kate: I need a gun. And you don't get to ask why.
Sawyer: Well, Thelma. Seeing as I got all the guns, I do get to ask why.
Kate: No, you don't.
Sawyer: Yes, I do. Watch... why?

Sun: A mother should not leave her child.
Claire: I'm sorry, are you a mother?
Sun: No, I'm not.

Claire: Kate, how did they die?
Kate: She killed them.
Claire: What? Why-why would...
Danielle Rousseau: They were infected.

Mr. Eko: I wish to speak to him alone. Can you arrange this?
Jack: Why should I do that?
Mr. Eko: Because you wish to keep this a secret.

Danielle Rousseau: Where is this room?!
Claire: How can you be saying that? Okay, you grabbed me, that's why I scratched you because you were taking me back to them!
Danielle Rousseau: Is that what you think? You said you remembered! That's why I brought you here. You lied!

Ethan Rom: Hey, nobody's going to take him from you unless that's what you want. You have a choice. We're good people, Claire. We're a good family. But if you're gonna trust us with your child, I want you to be sure. Okay?

Claire: You weren't trying to take me back, were you? You were trying to save me.
Danielle Rousseau: I carried you on my back to your camp. I left you where they would find you.

Claire: Where are you going?
Danielle Rousseau: You're not the only one who didn't find what they were looking for.

Claire: Your baby... was it a girl?
Danielle Rousseau: Yes.
Claire: What was her name?
Danielle Rousseau: Alex. Alexandra.
Claire: I remember a girl. A girl with blue eyes. She uh, she helped me, she saved me just like you did. She wasn't like the Others, she was good.



Cultural References
Locke gives Henry Gale a book to read - The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

The Brothers Karamazov is about the murder of a father by his sons who all share varying degrees of involvement. On another level, it is also about the moral struggles between faith, doubt, reason and free will.
