Quotes:

Kate Austen: It's strange huh?
Jack Shephard: What's that?
Kate Austen: Being back, not, looking for a way out of a cage. Not finding a reason to go running off into the jungle again; I almost don't know what to do with myself.
Jack Shephard: Well enjoy it. I'm sure something will go wrong soon enough.

A Greater Sacrifice

Desmond has a premonition with the death of Charlie in the woods and Penny coming to the island in a helicopter. On the next day, he organizes an expedition with Hurley, Jin and Charlie, expecting to find Penny, but not disclosing the whole truth to the group. Meanwhile he recalls his period in a monastery, after leaving his fiancée Ruth a couple of days before their wedding, where he became a monk and later met Penny. Kate flirts with Jack, but he gives a cold treatment to her and has dinner with Juliet. Kate has one night stand with Sawyer.

The episode "Catch 22" is centered in Desmond, who recalls how he met his beloved Penny when he was fired from the monastery after getting drunk. Between his love for Penny and the life of Charlie, he acts like Abraham sacrificing his most precious love. A new character is introduced in the plot, probably related to the past of Desmond. The "square of love" between Jack, Juliet, Kate and Sawyer is the weak part of the story. I was intrigued with the Brazilian edition of "Catch 22" (called "Ardil 22" in Portuguese) that Desmond finds in the forest. My vote is nine.
