While getting dressed, Sawyer "accidentally" opens a briefcase filled with fake cash bundles made from newspaper.
Claiming that she did not get a significant settlement in the proceedings, an intrigued Cassidy asks Sawyer to teach her how to con someone.
Then Cassidy asks if he can teach her how to pull off a "long con", and reveals that she did indeed receive a settlement of $600,000 in her divorce.
Sawyer is later at a diner (his waitress is Diane, Kate's mother), eating with Gordy, his partner.
It is revealed that Sawyer was planning to con Cassidy out of her money, but wants to back out due to his feelings for her.
Sawyer returns to the house and tells Cassidy to run because Gordy is going to kill them, and points to a car outside.
He reveals that the "long con" is Cassidy herself, and that he always knew about her money, but Gordy will kill them because Sawyer does not want to steal it.
Hurley also has discovered that Bernard was the one who picked up Boone's transmission from the Nigerian Drug Plane.
While Sun is working in her garden, someone puts a burlap bag over her head, her hands are tied together and she is dragged away.
Kate suspects Ana Lucía, who she thinks wants to instill fear in the survivors so they will form an army against the Others.
Sawyer reveals that the incident was a "long con" to seize the guns and declare himself the "new sheriff in town".
