Dr. Juliet Burke (née Carlson) was a fertility specialist who was recruited to the Island by Richard Alpert. On the Island, she tried to solve the fertility problems, but was unsuccessful. She had an affair with Goodwin, until a jealous Ben sent him to the Tailies, where one of them killed him.

After the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, Juliet was sent as a mole to the survivors' camp. However, she betrayed the Others and chose to stay with the survivors. Jack and Juliet became very close, until Jack and five others escaped on the helicopter from the Kahana. After the Oceanic 6 left, however, Juliet, along with Sawyer, Locke, Jin, Daniel, Miles and Charlotte began to randomly skip through time. After Locke turned the Wheel, and Charlotte died, Juliet settled in 1974 with the DHARMA Initiative for three years with Sawyer (who she began a relationship with), Jin, and Miles until Jack, Kate, and Hurley returned.

Knowing their cover was blown, Juliet helped Jack with his plan to change the past. As she, Sawyer, Kate and Miles aided Jack at the Swan site, she got pulled into the shaft. Down the shaft, she noticed the bomb, and in a desperate attempt to save everyone's lives, she detonated it. The explosion sent the survivors to 2007, where Sawyer tried to save her, but was unsuccessful, and she died in his arms. With Miles Straume acting as a medium over her grave, she told Sawyer "It worked", although Sawyer didn't know what she meant by this.

In the flash-sideways, she was reunited with her lover, James Ford and along with their friends, they moved on.

Before the crash

Juliet and her sister learn of their parents' divorce. ("The Incident, Parts 1 & 2")

Childhood

Juliet's family moved frequently. Her parents divorced when Juliet was a child due to difficulties, which her older sister Rachel noticed. The divorce affected Juliet, particularly her outlook on relationships. ("The Incident, Part 2")

Medical career

Juliet learns of her sister's pregnancy. ("Not in Portland")

Juliet received a medical degree, specializing in obstetrics and fertility. She married Edmund Burke, and though they split up, he continued to control her. She worked under his tight control at the Miami Central University Medical Research Laboratory, where he flaunted his affairs with coworkers in front of her. She even managed to impregnate a male mouse, though it didn't carry to term. She conducted her most important research though in private on Rachel, whose cancer treatment had left her infertile. With Juliet's help, Rachel conceived and later named her baby Julian, after Juliet. Juliet kept this private for her sister's sake. Richard Alpert approached her with a job offer from Mittelos Bioscience. The opportunity intrigued her, and one particular medical puzzle, a young woman whose uterus looked 70 years old, convinced her she wanted to accept. But Edmund would object unless, she joked, a bus hit him. A bus did hit him soon after, right as he confronted her about Rachel. Richard and his associate then successfully recruited her, promising to return her in time for Rachel's delivery. The job turned out to be "not quite in Portland" though, and she had to take a submarine, tranquilized, to get there - to the Island. ("Not in Portland")  ("One of Us")

On the Island

Juliet burns her hand while preparing for the book club, still burdened by Ben's secret. ("A Tale of Two Cities")  ("The Envelope")

Juliet's early attempts to save the island's pregnant women failed. While crying after the death of one of the women, she met Goodwin, a worker at The Tempest station, and treated him for chemical burns. He comforted her after the death of a second woman as well, and eventually the two began a relationship.

Soon after arriving on the island, Juliet began seeing a therapist named Harper Stanhope, who also happened to be Goodwin's wife. During one session, Harper revealed to Juliet that she knew of her affair with Goodwin. She warned Juliet to stop the affair, stating that she was worried about what would happen to Goodwin if Ben found out.

The Others gather around as Flight 815 crashes. ("A Tale of Two Cities")

Harper's concern, it turned out, was warranted. Ben had quickly become obsessed with Juliet, associating her with his mother. He met her as soon as she came to the island and gave her her own house within a week. Juliet asked several times to be let off the island, but every time Ben refused, even after the initial six months Juliet agreed to had already passed. In order to get her to stay, Ben told her that her sister's cancer had returned. He promised Rachel's cancer would be cured if Juliet continued her work on the island.

Three years later, however, Ben himself was diagnosed with cancer, which convinced Juliet he'd lied about being able to cure Rachel. She prepared to share his x-rays with a friend, but her book club's arrival interrupted them. The club discussed her favorite book, one Ben didn't like, but the group dispersed when a plane crashed on the island. ("One of Us")  ("The Other Woman")  ("The Envelope") ("A Tale of Two Cities")

After the crash

Juliet learns of the death of her lover - and Ben's involvement. ("The Other Woman")

Ben sent Goodwin to infiltrate the new survivors' camp, and Harper and Juliet exchanged glances. Ben then showed Juliet live footage in the Flame of Rachel, alive and healthy, with her toddler son. She was overjoyed, and she again asked to return home, but Ben said she must stay for future research. The two began dining together, and he tried to turn her off Goodwin by suggesting he'd grown close to one of the survivors. Then 27 to 44 days after the plane crash, when Juliet tried showing him a file on a spinal surgeon from the plane, Ben led her to Goodwin's dead body. He said he'd deliberately sent Goodwin on a suicide mission, knowing of their affair. He claimed Juliet as his own. Despite the awkwardness between them, they continued working together. They spied on survivors in the Swan together from the Pearl, and Ben confided his plan to kidnap Jack, Kate and Sawyer. ("The Other Woman")  ("One of Us")  ("Exposé")

Juliet helped take care of two children that the Others kidnapped. She also oversaw Walt's care when they kidnapped him, and when she noticed his odd abilities, she suggested they return him to Michael. Later, when they kidnapped Michael too, she told him Walt was "special" and that they'd return him and give Michael a boat. She told Michael about her own deal with Ben, concerning her sister. She compares her situation to Michael's, as they would both do anything to save their family.("Room 23")  ("The Deal")

Days 68–91 (Season 3)

Jack holds Juliet hostage and demands to be released from The Hydra. ("A Tale of Two Cities")  (promotional still)

The Others kidnapped Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Juliet oversaw Kate and Sawyer's manual labor, holding a gun on Kate when Sawyer tried escaping. Ben exploited Juliet's resemblance to Jack's ex-wife, telling her to visit, feed, and grow close to him. Despite this, Jack attacked her, opening one of the underwater cell's hatches against her warning. The corridor flooded, and Ben locked them inside to drown. They escaped though, and Juliet kept visiting her prisoner despite his assault on her. Jack referenced Ben's authority over her, and, perhaps piqued by this suggestion, Juliet freed him to operate on an injured Other. Juliet, who was not a surgeon, couldn't save her alone. ("The Glass Ballerina")  ("A Tale of Two Cities")  ("Every Man for Himself")

The patient died despite Jack's efforts, but he saw Ben's x-rays in the operating room, and Ben confronted her at the funeral about her oversight. He made her ask Jack to operate on him, but she secretly played a videotape asking him to kill Ben during surgery. To persuade him, she threatened to kill Sawyer and made Kate tell Jack. Jack slit Ben's kidney sac in surgery, but rather than kill him, he revealed Juliet's plan and blackmailed the Others into freeing Kate and Sawyer. ("Every Man for Himself")  ("The Cost of Living")  ("I Do")

Juliet called his bluff, saying he wouldn't deliberately let a patient die. She ordered the Others to capture Kate and Sawyer and kill them if necessary. She changed her attitude, however, after Ben privately told her he'd let her leave the island if she helped them escape. She caught up with them, and she killed Pickett when he refused to let them go. She let Kate call Jack to confirm their safety and let them row to the main island, but she told Ben's daughter, who'd helped them, that she had to stay. The Others imprisoned Juliet for Pickett's murder, and she later visited Jack, who refused to examine Ben's stitches. Jack testified for Juliet in front of the Other's sheriff, who saw through his lies and sentenced Juliet to death. Jack saved Ben though in exchange for Juliet's life, and they merely marked her as punishment. Jack treated her wound and they sailed with the Others to the Barracks.("Not in Portland")  ("Stranger in a Strange Land")

The Monster scans Juliet and Kate in the banyan trees. ("Left Behind")

True to his word, Ben arranged Jack and Juliet's passage on the submarine, but hours before their departure, Locke, Sayid and Kate arrived to save Jack, and Locke destroyed the submarine with C-4. Ben then gave Juliet a mission: enter the survivors' camp, help Claire after her implant activated, gain their trust and help the Others kidnap their pregnant women. The Others gassed the camp and left, and Juliet handcuffed herself to Kate and pretended they'd left her behind. Kate attacked her and dislocated her arm. The Monster then chased them into some trees, and it "scanned" them. Juliet claimed not to know what it was, but the next day, she repelled it with the sonic barrier. They freed Jack and Sayid at the Barracks. Kate and Sayid objected to bringing Juliet to their camp, but Jack was adamant that she join them. ("The Man from Tallahassee")  ("Left Behind")

The camp treated Juliet with suspicion; she only spoke with Hurley, whom the camp chose to watch her. When Ben activated Claire's implant, Juliet blamed withdrawal from a drug she'd developed. She left to recover the medicine from a supposed cache, and Sayid and Sawyer accosted her on the way about her intentions. She used background knowledge of them to assert moral superiority. She feigned treating Claire with the supplies, and Jack helped her set up a tent. Another pregnant survivor soon asked Juliet's help, and Juliet took Sun to the Staff for a sonogram. She learned Sun had conceived on the island, so would die like the last nine expectant mothers she'd examined. She recorded a tape for Ben about Sun's condition, also saying she'd sample Kate's blood next. But after she switched the tape off, she added, "I hate you," and she soon confided fully in Jack. The two recruited Danielle to fetch dynamite to fight the Others. ("One of Us")  ("D.O.C.")  ("Operation: Sleeper")

Juliet reports back to Ben about Sun's pregnancy. ("D.O.C.")

Later, Kate told Jack about a woman's arrival to the island, and Juliet suggested they tell her Ben's plan. Jack refused. ("The Brig") Sawyer then found her tape, and Juliet played its other side, showing Ben's full plan. She and Jack then shared their own plan. Sayid wanted to use Naomi's phone to call her boat, and Juliet explained the Looking Glass jammed all signals. She started toward the radio tower with Jack to turn off the distress signal, then split to join Sawyer as he went back to the beach to help Sayid, Bernard and Jin. Hiding at the beach, Juliet and Sawyer tried to form a plan, but Hurley intervened with the DHARMA van. Juliet then turned a gun on Tom, forcing him to surrender. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")  ("Greatest Hits")  ("Through the Looking Glass")

Days 91–100 (Season 4)

Juliet and Sayid aim at Miles and Faraday ("Confirmed Dead")  (promotional still)

With Sayid, Bernard and Jin safe, Juliet began digging graves for her former comrades. Desmond interrupted her though with worrying news about their rescuers, Juliet armed herself and left for the radio tower to warn Jack. They met, the survivors divided, and Juliet returned to the beach. When Jack took long following them though, she and Sayid ventured into the jungle and disarmed Daniel and Miles, who were holding Jack and Kate hostage. They found the helicopter's pilot, who realized she wasn't a Flight 815 passenger as Juliet tended to his wounds. Sayid found a picture of Desmond in Naomi's backpack, and Juliet retrieved him from the beach, then returned to the beach again. ("The Beginning of the End")  ("Confirmed Dead") ("The Economist")  ("Eggtown")

Juliet realizes Jack's appendix must be taken out, after he collapses. ("Something Nice Back Home")

The next day, Juliet questioned Charlotte about how long the helicopter had been gone, suspecting how little she worried. Charlotte and Daniel vanished that night, and Harper appeared, telling Juliet to stop them from releasing the Tempest's gas. Juliet took Jack along, but when they found Kate, Juliet used fetching water as an excuse to go off alone. At the Tempest, Daniel claimed they were disabling the gas, not releasing it. Charlotte attacked her, and though Juliet got the upper hand, she convinced her to let them continue their work. Outside, Juliet defended Charlotte from Kate's attacks. Then alone with Jack, Juliet warned him to stay away from her when Ben won his war against the freighties. Unafraid, Jack kissed her and said Ben knew where to find him. ("The Constant")  ("The Other Woman")

Juliet found Sun rifling through her medical kit and surmised that she was going on a trip to Locke's group in the Barracks Juliet urged her to stay, reminding her she'd die on the island. When nothing seemed to be working, she revealed Sun's affair to Jin. Sun slapped her. Her goal of preventing Sun's departure accomplished, Juliet apologized. A day later, a body swept ashore, worrying Juliet. The day after, she diagnoses Jack with appendicitis, and they agreed on immediate surgery. She sent Sun to gather instruments from the Staff with Daniel. She agreed with Jack's demands to stay awake and for Kate's help, but when the pain became to great for him to bear, Juliet cleared the room and ordered Jack knocked out. Afterward, knowing Jack could hear, she told Kate Jack had kissed her, but he did so to falsely convince himself he didn't love someone else. ("Ji Yeon")  ("The Shape of Things to Come")  ("Something Nice Back Home")

That night, Juliet scolded Jack for walking soon after surgery, and she implored him not to follow the helicopter when it returned. He left regardless. Sayid soon arrived in a raft, and when Daniel began ferrying people to the freighter, Juliet insisted pregnant Sun be one of the first. He returned and she thanked him, promising to stay till everyone else had made it off. Later, when the boat exploded, Juliet sat on the beach and drank rum. Sawyer swam up, and she pointed to the smoking wreck. Sawyer and Juliet were both still sitting on the beach when Ben moved the Island. ("Cabin Fever")  ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")  ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3")

Season 5

Time flashes

Sawyer and Juliet stare with shock due to the missing freighter. ("Because You Left")

Juliet and Sawyer noticed the Kahana had disappeared completely. A frantic Rose and Bernard then told them that the beach camp had disappeared too - they were periodically traveling through time, said Daniel. Juliet suggested checking the Swan station's condition to check the date, and they found it intact. They returned to the beach, where Juliet found the Zodiac raft traveled with them, but Daniel refused her suggestion to board it. That night, an unknown group fired flaming arrows at the camp, and Juliet escaped, nearly dying trying to save a wounded survivor. Sawyer and Juliet searched the jungle for other survivors, but a gang led by young Widmore captured and interrogated them. They nearly amputated Juliet's hand, but Locke saved her. The gang began speaking in Latin, and Juliet realized they were Others. She asked to see Richard, and though Widmore broke his partner's neck and fled, Locke led them to their camp. There, they freed a captured Daniel. A flash of light shifted them through time soon after. ("Because You Left")  ("The Lie")  ("Jughead")

Juliet fires back at their canoe-chasers. ("The Little Prince")

Charlotte fainted with a nosebleed, and Juliet examined her and questioned Daniel. They returned to the beach and sailed toward the Orchid in a canoe, and Juliet talked to Sawyer about his seeing Kate during a flash. Then a second canoe began shooting at them, and Juliet returned fire till another time shift set then to 1988. Juliet's nose began to bleed. The shifts came more frequently, but they reached the Orchid, and Juliet marveled that they'd arrived when at a time when it existed. Time shifted again though, replacing the station will as well. Locke descended, Juliet thanking him, and when time shifted yet again, apparently burying him, she had to hold Sawyer from digging him out. ("The Little Prince")  ("This Place Is Death")

With DHARMA (1974–1977)

Charlotte died, and Juliet consoled Daniel. Sawyer suggested returning to the beach, and Juliet backed him up though she thought it a stupid plan. They stumbled upon two Others holding a woman captive. When they attacked Sawyer, Juliet shot one of them. They returned the captive to the Barracks, where the DHARMA Initiative offered to send them back to the mainland either the next day or in two weeks. Juliet wanted to leave immediately, have tried to leave the island for three years, but Sawyer convinced her to wait, and she ended staying for three more, moving in with Sawyer. She worked as a mechanic, but Sawyer recruited her one day to deliver Amy's baby. ("LaFleur")

Juliet tries to save Ben. ("Whatever Happened, Happened")

Their relaxed time together ended though when Jack, Hurley and Kate returned to the Island. Juliet added their names to a list of new recruits and helped Kate when an employee suspected her. Jack visited that night, discovering her and Sawyer's relationship, and she later discussed this relationship with Kate at the motor pool. Sayid had also returned to the Island, and when he shot young Ben, Juliet operated in vain. She again turned to Jack for help, but he coldly refused, and she tearfully blamed him for even returning to the island, outraged and furious that he would not help a dying child. Kate, however, offered to take Ben to the Others, and Juliet persuaded Sawyer to help. When Roger Linus noticed his son missing, she covered for Kate. Phil soon discovered their conspiracy though, and Sawyer and Juliet had to bind and gag him. ("Namaste")  ("He's Our You") ("Whatever Happened, Happened")  ("Some Like It Hoth")

They explained the situation to Jack, and the survivors discussed options. Juliet, Sawyer and others decided to start fresh at the beach, but she gave Kate the sonic fence's code so she could take Daniel to the Others. A firefight brought security to the house though, and Radzinsky discovered Phil. They interrogated Sawyer about where Kate had gone, then Phil hit Juliet to get Sawyer to talk. In exchange, Sawyer demanded passage off the Island. ("The Variable")  ("Follow the Leader")

The Incident pulls Juliet down the shaft. ("The Incident, Parts 1 & 2")

After they boarded the sub, Kate arrived and convinced Juliet they had to stop Jack from detonating a bomb. Juliet broke them out of their handcuffs and ordered the captain to surface. They sailed to shore, where they met Rose, Bernard and Vincent. Juliet turned down their invitation to renounce their quest, and they went on, waylaying Jack's van. She broke up his and Sawyer's fight, but Sawyer's attention to Kate convinced her to reset time, so she'd never have to lose him. She convinced Sawyer, and they covered Jack as he dropped the bomb down the Swan's shaft. The Incident began, and a metal chain dragged her down, despite Sawyer and Kate's efforts. She revived at the bottom of the staff and hit the bomb with a rock till it detonated. ("The Incident, Parts 1 & 2")

2007 (Season 6)

Juliet dies in Sawyer's arms. ("LA X, Part 1")

Following the detonation, Juliet and the survivors travelled to 2007, leaving her pinned under the Swan's wreckage. Kate heard her cries, and the group dug her out. Sawyer found her, and she told him, "It didn't work. We are still on the island". Juliet mumbled about going out for coffee before asking Sawyer to kiss her. The two kissed and Juliet said, "I have to tell you something. It's very very important". Before she could share it, she died. ("LA X, Part 1")

Post-death

Juliet's message: "It worked." ("LA X, Part 2")

Desperate to find out what Juliet had to say before she died, Sawyer asked Miles for help while burying her. He revealed that Juliet's last thoughts were "It worked". Sawyer returned to the Barracks alone and retrieved his proposed engagement ring from beneath their old house's floorboards. Kate arrived, and they discussed Juliet, after which Sawyer threw the ring into the water. ("LA X, Part 2")  ("What Kate Does") Jack told Hurley that his accidental role in Juliet's death convinced him to let go of things rather than try to fix them. He later apologized to Sawyer for killing her. ("Everybody Loves Hugo")  ("The Last Recruit")

The cliffside cave revealed Juliet was candidate 58. Her name was crossed off. ("The Substitute")

Flash sideways

In the flash sideways world, Juliet worked as a maternity doctor at St. Sebastian Hospital under her maiden name of "Carlson". She again worked alongside an ex-husband, but she shared a better relationship with Jack than she had with Edmund. The two had a son, David, who lived with Juliet and visited his father once a month.

Juliet and James kiss, waking each other up. ("The End")

Juliet performed an ultrasound on Sun-Hwa Paik, unknowingly waking her and her husband to their previous lives. She then met Jack in the hospital and collected concert tickets for herself, David and Claire. A page summoned her from the concert though, and she returned to the hospital to find James Ford fishing a candy bar from a vending machine. Juliet explained that unplugging the machine could release it, and once it did, she said "It worked" - her original dying words. The two remembered their life together as they touched, and they embraced. They reunited with the others from the island in the church and sat together as a light flowed over them. ("The End")
