Lost: Par Avion

Claire: "I guess we don't always turn out like our mothers want."

I am so patting myself on the back, because I guessed back in season two (in "Two for the Road") that Claire was Jack's half-sister. It also explained why Christian Shephard's last act was to run off for Australia. I love it when plotlines come together.

Lost: Maternity Leave

Sawyer: "No boys allowed, huh?"

This show is dominated by male characters, and it was refreshing to have an episode that focused almost exclusively on the women. How about that girlpower? Kate got to take charge and lead an expedition into the jungle, which was just her thing. Claire got to do something more than scream about someone hurting her baby. And I loved that there was absolution for Danielle Rousseau.

Lost: Raised by Another

Charlie: "Dear Diary: Still on the bloody island. Today, I swallowed a bug. Love, Claire."

Unsettling episode. And I was impressed with Emilie de Ravin, whose acting skills have never impressed me before.
