* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Jack tails his father to a support group where he learns he's been sober for 50 days. Jack attacks him for thinking he's been seeing Sarah, causing Christian to get drunk afterwards, and it's implied that this triggers the chain of events that ultimately leads to his death in Sydney.


Added DiffLines:

* NoOSHACompliance: Against Juliet's warning, Jack opens a door that causes the section to flood. Justified, as the DHARMA stations are clearly in a state of disrepair.
