I love this. Spoilers below, Americans.
Sun and Jin are love. That is all there is to it. Okay, there's a bit more. I feel a mini summary is in order.
I missed the first 15 minutes, but from what I gather, Jin's mother contacted Sun and told her where to go to find Jin's dad (the fisherman; Jin told Sun that his father was dead). Sun meets Jin's dad, who is super nice, and he tells her to not tell Jin that she met him, and also to continue to let Jin think his mother is dead (his mother slept around) to spare Jin shame.
Juliette takes Sun to the Staff station (the medical one), specifically to a hidden room with an Ultrasound. The plan is to measure the baby and determine if it was conceived on or off the Island (and, therefore, if Sun will die or live. And. also, whether the baby is Jin's or Sun's teacher's). She lets Sun know that sperm count on the Island is 5x the norm.
Back in the flashback, Sun gets money from her father to pay Jin's mother, and in doing so, SHE creates the debt that Jin owes her father. Yup, Sun, in an effort to spare her husband from shame, causes him to owe her father and work directly for him, therefore causing all their other problems that we have seen. How sad.
The baby is Jin's, conceived on the island (it's about 53 days old, and they've been on the island for 90 days). Sun cries, but she is crying because she is happy it is Jin's baby, and not because she is sad she is dying. She has about 2 months (none of the other women make it into their third trimester). As Sun leaves, Juliette goes back into the staff to "clean up their tracks" a.k.a. tape a message for Ben on a tape recorder that she leaves in a locker. The message says that "Kwon's [Sun's] baby was conceived on the island, her husband was sterile before the island. I'll begin getting samples from the other women. I should be able to get Austin's [Kate's] next". She turns off the recorder and says "Oh, and I hate you".
Does this mean that Kate and other's are also pregnant!? Who knows.
And, as guessed, Mikhail is alive. He runs into Desmond, Hurley, Charlie and Jin (along with Italian girl Naomi). Naomi has a branch puncturing her lung, Mikhail will help ventilate her lung if they allow him to just walk way as though they never saw him. He does, they do, but Jin runs after him. He tried to steal the satellite phone. Naomi says some things in Italian that only Mikhail understands. I wonder what she says... he obviously mistranslates for our quartet.
At the end of the show, as Desmond Charlie and Jin make a stretcher to carry Naomi back to camp, Hurley sits with her. She wakes up, and in English asks who/where they are. When Hurley says "We are the survivors of Oceanic Flight 315. Is anyone looking for us?" she says "That's impossible. They found that plane. There were no survivors"
OOooh. It's getting good. As I said, Jin and Sun are love in this episode. Juliette proves once again that she is working for Ben but not so evil. And, we find out that the Survivors are all believed dead. And that Mikhail is still alive.
