“Par Avion.”
What does TV Guide say?
“Claire becomes suspicious of Charlie when he behaves strangely after she comes up with an idea that could get everybody rescued; tension mounts between Sayid and Locke as they continue their trek to rescue Jack. Christian Shephard: John Terry.”
What did last week’s promo say?
“Next Wednesday,” the announcer hints, “a surprise connection between two of these survivors will be revealed.”
“Why are you really here?” asks Sayid
“What the hell is going on?” asks Claire.
“And the search party encounters its most deadly obstacle yet,” teases the announcer.
“Looks like we’re here,” says Locke
“What is it?” asks Kate.
“Looks like an alarm system,” replies Sayid. “Or a trap. Don’t touch it! John! John!!”
“Aaaaauuugghhhh!” screams one-eyed Mikhail?
“Oh my God!” exclaims Kate.
Who gets the flashbacks?
Claire. We get to see her in her Goth phase. Since Jack’s dad returns this week, is it possible the surprise connection is between Jack and Claire?

No you didn’t.
Do we get back to Jack and The Others?
Apparently, since ABC lists M.C. Gainey (Zeke Friendly aka Tom) among the guest cast.
