* The entire subplot of Hurley tricking Sawyer into being nice to people:
** Hurley approaches a very irritated Sawyer while he's reading and talks to him from a distance with his back turned as if he's in a spy movie, telling him that the others are having a vote on whether or not to banish him. Since Sawyer still isn't allowed to use nicknames, he settles for telling Hurley that he is "rotund, annoying, and ruining [his] damned view."
** To prove he can fend for himself, Sawyer catches a fish and makes an EpicFail attempt at gutting it.
** When Sun, still angry over her "kidnapping", gives him a DeathGlare, Sawyer wryly observes that he's not going to get "the Korean vote."
** At Hurley's urging, Sawyer tries to take an interest in Aaron to impress Claire. All he can think to say about him is that he's "not as wrinkly as he was a couple weeks ago." His attempt to appeal to Aaron directly also goes very badly, which is particularly funny when compared to how Aaron used to stop crying when he heard Sawyer's voice in Season 1.
--->'''Sawyer:''' Hey there, little baby.
--->'''Aaron:''' ''(Instantly starts crying)''
** Finally, Sawyer finds out that Hurley lied about the vote:
--->'''Sawyer:''' You tricked me into being decent? That's gotta be the lamest con in the history of cons.
