Sawyer led a small group of survivors following Ben Linus's moving of the Island. The group survived numerous time-traveling flashes until John Locke restored the frozen wheel to its axis, stranding Sawyer's group in 1974. This group, after merging with the DHARMA Initiative in 1974 and taking on different jobs, waited for Locke's promised return to the Island ("LaFleur"), until four members of the Oceanic Six returned and joined the time-stranded survivors in their ruse.

Activities on the Island
Finding the Hatch

Setting up camp

Meeting the Others

After journeying back to the beach, another time flash occurred, and they found outrigger canoes at the beach shore. Attempting to use them to travel around the cape of the island to the Orchid, they were pursued by the owners of the canoe, who fired shots at them. Another time flash occurred, and Juliet began experiencing the effects of temporal displacement as well. ("The Little Prince")
Stopping the flashes

Joining the DHARMA Initiative


Return of the Oceanic Six
Jack awakened in the jungle in 1977, having disappeared from Ajira Airways Flight 316 following a flash of light that overtook the plane. Hearing cries for help, he quickly ran to the waterfall where he rescued a sinking Hurley and awakened an unconscious Kate on the shore. The three were apprehended by Jin, then a security officer for DHARMA, and taken to the North Valley to meet with Sawyer. The group, separated for three long years, embrace with mingled joy and bewilderment. ("316")Â ("LaFleur")


Set free by a young Benjamin Linus, Sayid shot his rescuer in cold blood, and fled into the jungle. Sawyer, Juliet and Kate risked the safety of their group by bringing young Ben into Hostile territory, after Jack refused to save the boy's life. ("He's Our You")Â ("Whatever Happened, Happened")
Sawyer instructed Miles to erase the security tapes that captured this activity, but he was prevented from doing so by the arrival of Horace, who instructed him to deliver a package to Pierre Chang. Miles undertook this duty with the aid of Hurley, who eventually convinced Miles to make an effort to reach out to Chang, who was in actuality Mile's father. Phil later found the tape and confronted Sawyer with it, before reporting what he had found, only to be knocked unconscious and taken prisoner by Sawyer. ("Some Like It Hoth")
Detonating Jughead
When Daniel Faraday returned to the Island after a long stint as a researcher at Ann Arbor, he began to put in motion a plan to try to change the history of the Island. He revealed to Pierre Chang that he was a time traveler, although Miles denied this. Daniel claims that, by doing this, he is making sure that Chang does what he is supposed to do.

While obtaining firearms at the motor pool, a conflict arose between Jack, Kate and Daniel, and Radzinsky and his men. Radzinsky was shot in the arm, while Faraday was grazed in the neck. The three were eventually able to get away in a DHARMA Jeep, and escaped to the fence, where they continued on foot. Daniel then revealed his plan: to use the Others' knowledge of the bomb's whereabouts to blow up the Island, therefore stopping the entire sequence of events which led the survivors to crash on the Island in the first place. He claimed that they could do this, despite the rules of time travel he had previously elaborated on, because they, as human beings with foreknowledge and free will, were "variables".

Jack and Kate were then found by Charles Widmore, who brought them into the camp where the explained Faraday's plan to the Others. With the aid of Richard Alpert and Eloise, Jack and Kate arrive at an entrance to the Tunnels beneath a creek. Kate decides to go back, against the will of the Others, and a standoff is reached before Sayid, having survived alone in the jungle for days, shoots one of the Others and buys Kate her freedom. Joining Jack, Richard and Eloise, Sayid swims under the creek and enters the tunnels, where Jughead is hidden, and proceeds to dismantle the bomb so that they can carry its core to the Swan site. Richard then knocked out Eloise, saying that he was protecting their leader, and departed, leaving the survivors to their mission. ("Follow the Leader")Â ("The Incident, Part 1")

Jack and Sayid broke through a wall dividing the Tunnels from the interior of one of the houses in the Barracks, and attempt to escape, but eventually draw gunfire from the DHARMA Initiative, who recognize them. They are saved by Hurley, Jin and Miles, who drive them away from the Barracks in a DHARMA van. Soon they are met with Sawyer, Juliet and Kate. Sawyer requests a short minute with Jack, and when they cannot come to terms, they come to blows instead. Eventually Juliet breaks up the fight, saying that she has changed her mind. She cannot believe that Sawyer can be around Kate without falling for her again, and so, she reasons, if there is a risk of losing him, she would rather reset history to make sure they had never met. Sawyer is devastated at this, but agrees to help anyway.

Relationships
The reunion of the members of this group set in motion a number of uncertainties and anxieties regarding relationships. Juliet, who had been in a relationship with Sawyer for an unknown amount of time, grew increasingly paranoid about Kate's renewed presence in Sawyer's life. The fact that he clearly still had feelings for her did not improve matters. Jack, who had previously shown a reciprocated affection to Juliet, found his presence resented when he declared their intentions to rescue Sawyer's group. ("Namaste")Â ("Whatever Happened, Happened")

Upon Daniel's return to the Island, he and Miles visited Pierre Chang at the Orchid, where the former revealed their nature as time travelers, and the latter's relationship to Chang as son. When Chang asked Miles if this was true, Miles denied it.
