Don't read on if you haven't yet watched last night's episode. There. You've been warned!!
It was another night of fabulousness during this week's episode. I thought it very interesting that the entire episode took place on the island--there were flashbacks, but they all took place within the past 3 years. Does this mean that the island vs. rest of the world time discrepancy is shrinking? There were a few moments of ridiculousness, such as when a downpour (and nightfall) conveniently converged as soon as the search party set out, or when Kate recovered completely from being knocked out with a possible concussion in about 30 seconds (the island's healing properties at work again?).
Did anyone else notice that Juliet started straightening her hair once Goodwin was sent away? I think that we really see a more vulnerable side to Juliet this week, and it explains a lot of her hard-to-trust behavior. What I don't understand is why she feels the need to harbor so many secrets. It seems a little excessive, even when her motive to do so is to protect Jack. All in all, I have to say that she's growing on me, and I may yet end up liking her by the time the series is over...haha.

-Of all people, Kate finds the runaways
-Goodwin stops by to see Juliet, but Ben is there: AWKWARD!
-Locke just loves chopping bloody meat
-Juliet left Jack and Kate in the jungle...THIS is why I can't trust her
-Penny's father is Ben's nemesis--and the owner of the boat
-Ben and Juliet have a two person party: seeing Ben excited and
-Ben sent Goodwin to be killed out of jealousy: "YOU'RE MINE, Juliet!"
-JACK KISSES JULIET! Awwww
