EspañolNOT IN PORTLAND
(Redirected from Not In Portland)
"'Not in Portland'" is the seventh episode of the third season of ''Lost''. It aired on February 7, 2007, making it the 54th episode of the series. The episode was written by Carlton Cuse and Jeff Pinkner and was directed by Stephen Williams. The character of Juliet Burke is featured in the episode's flashbacks.
''The episode begins with a flashback featuring Juliet in Miami, caring for her ill sister. She injects a drug into her stomach. Later, she goes to the hospital where she works to steal more of the drug (which is in a bottle similar to the one we saw at the DHARMA station where Claire was kept), and is soon discovered by her boss and ex-husband Edmund Burke, who is with another woman. ''
On the island, Jack holds Ben hostage in the operating room as Kate and Sawyer escape. Jack learns that the three have been on a second island. Meanwhile, Kate and Sawyer flee into the jungle to escape from the Others.
''In a second flashback, Edmund confronts Juliet regarding the research she has been conducting on her sister, asking to be involved in the project. Juliet, however, doesn't give him an answer.''
While running from the Others, Kate and Sawyer discover Alex, who reveals that she has a boat they may use to escape to the main island. In return, she asks them to help her rescue her boyfriend, Karl.
''In the next flashback, Juliet is interviewed by Mr. Alpert from a genetics company called Mittelos Bioscience, asking her to join a firm in Portland, Oregon. Juliet turns down the offer, however, saying Edmund would never allow it.''
On the island, Alex, Kate, and Sawyer free Karl from a room (number 23, one of The Numbers) where he appears to be undergoing brainwashing. Karl is watching a film wearing strange glasses connected to his head with several distorted images, one of which reads, "God loves you as He loved Jacob."
''In the next flashback, Juliet’s sister asks about the interview, and Juliet informs her that she turned the position down. Rachel tells her that her research was a success, and that she (Rachel) is now pregnant. Juliet informs Edmund of the success, after which he is suddenly killed by a bus.''
On the island, Jack works to save Ben, but Ben awakens during the surgery and demands to speak to Juliet. Later, Juliet leaves and then assists Karl, Kate and Sawyer in escaping the island, but in the process kills Danny Pickett and tells Alex that she must remain.
''In the final flashback, Juliet agrees to join Mittelos's team in Portland, but is then informed that their research site is in another, more remote location (that is, Not In Portland).''
In the present, Juliet informs Jack that Ben told her that she would be allowed to leave the island if she ensured that Alex remained and the surgery ended successfully.
