Posted 3/30/10 11:06 pm EST by in Commentary, Reviews, TV

SunEpisode Title: "The Package"

Written By: Paul Zbyszewski & Graham Roland

Story: Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) haven't seen each other in over three years. Jin is in league with Smocke (Terry O'Quinn) against his will, while Sun is at the beach camp with Jack (Matthew Fox) and his allies. All that these two want is to leave the Island together, a task that would seem easier said than done — but both Smocke and Jack state that a reunion isn't out of the question.

In the Sideways Universe, Jin and Sun are in Los Angeles so that Jin can sell a watch for Mr. Paik. As we know from "Sundown," that sale doesn't go as planned, as Jin is abducted by Martin Keamy (Kevin Durand). Sun, forced to procure funds by Keamy and his thugs, is escorted to a nearby bank by a certain Russian from the show's past. Read More...
