"Left Behind" is the 15th episode of Season 3, and was first broadcast on April 4, 2007.
Synopsis
Flashbacks
Kate is stranded in Iowa with a bad fan belt in her car. She introduces herself to tow truck driver, Johnny as "Lucy" as he takes her to town. At the repair station she sees Cassidy trying to pull the jewelry con. Kate helps her to keep the conned man from calling the police, and Cassidy understands.
At a bar, Kate and Cassidy discuss conning. Kate says she uses the name of Lucy because she was a saint. She admits to killing her stepfather and escaping from the Marshal. She is in Iowa because she wants to talk to her mother. Cassidy offers to help her get to her mother since she fell in love with the wrong guy and gave him her life savings. She says "he was a bad guy" and that one of them deserves something good.
Realtime events
Kate is in the recreation room, handcuffed and nervous. She sees someone coming and hides, trying to hit them. It is Juliet, who ducks and easily overpowers Kate. She was bringing her a sandwich.
Later, Kate is playing backgammon when Locke enters to say goodbye. He is "leaving with them". Locke tells her Jack is going to have to "stay behind" like her. He tried to convince the Others to take Kate, but they knew "what she had done" and "forgiveness isn't one of their strong suits." Kate asks about Jack, Sayid, and Rousseau but he won't help her and leaves.
At the beach, Hurley tells Sawyer that there will be a vote on whether to banish him. He suggests that Sawyer make amends to continue being part of the society, but Sawyer rebukes him.
In the rec room, Kate wakes up and starts to eat. She hears a commotion outside and looks out to see the Others packing bags and putting on gas masks. They throw in a gas canister and she is unable to escape. She collapses.
Kate wakes up in the jungle. She is handcuffed to Juliet, who is still unconscious. She spots a knife in Juliet's pocket and tries to steal it, but Juliet wakes and grabs her hand. Juliet asks "what am I doing here?" and agrees to let go of Kate's wrist. The knife is too big to open the handcuff. Kate wants to go back to the village to get her friends. Juliet seems surprised that the Others were leaving.
At the beach, Sawyer is trying to catch a fish. He does, but is unable to properly gut it. He approaches Hurley to find out how to make amends and "change the vote". Hurley asks how he hasn't learned to gut a fish since they've been there "like three months." He demands an apology from Sawyer.
When Kate wakes up she finds herself handcuffed to Juliet in the jungle. Kate tries to take the knife from Juliet but she wakes up and catches Kate's hand. They both are confused.
Trivia
The song "Walking After Midnight," by Patsy Cline is also heard in "What Kate Did" and "Two for the Road."
