"Tale of Two Cities" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Juliet's eye

Reminiscent of the opening scene of season two-- in which Desmond played the "Make Your Own Kind of Music" record and when about his morning activities in the hatch-- the third season begins with the introduction of a new, unfamiliar character.
First seen is her eye (a familiar introductory device employed quite often, especially in first season), followed by a glimpse into her activities. Juliet selects and plays a CD with the song "Downtown" by Petula Clark as she faces herself in the mirror, forcing an uncertain smile, and preparing the house for company. The day is off to a bad start with her burnt muffins, just before her guests arrive.
Her first visitor comments on the slow work of the plumber (the face of whom is not yet seen) and soon the group is gathered for what appears to be a casual meeting of a book club among neighbors.
Or so it seems.

Answer: Stephen King

The book under discussion is seen to be Stephen King's classic novel, "Carrie". Juliet argues in defense of the literature choice against some slightly uncooperative participants of the club, one of whom-- a man named Adam-- mentions the absence of Ben, the apparent former host.
The presentation of the Stephen King novel relates back to Desmond's library in the "Swan" hatch, and to previous author and literature analysis discussions earlier (especially between Locke and the man they called Henry Gale).
Numerous well-known novels have weaved their way-- physically and metaphorically-- into the dynamics occurring on the island, including Richard Adams' "Watership Down", Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time", William Golding's "Lord of the Flies", and Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland".
Locke and "Henry" had once drawn comparisons between Dostoevsky and Hemingway, and Desmond had great admiration for Charles Dickens, saving "Our Mutual Friend" to be the last thing he would read.
Coincidence of literature in relation to what was occurring on the island is left to the audience for interpretation.

Answer: Working under Juliet's house

Just as Juliet is becoming slightly irritable with the group and begins speaking (quite ironically) about "free will", the house begins to shake as though an earthquake had erupted.
It is not until after the neighbors had gathered outside their houses to glance up at the sky does it become strikingly clear that the shaking was not the result of an earthquake, but in fact the electromagnetic explosion on the day of the Oceanic 815 plane crash. The former prisoner of the survivors known as Henry Gale (now known to be the leader of this group called the Others) emerges from the house next door.
Seconds after Oceanic plane is seen flying overhead in clear danger, the airliner tears into pieces and separates as it hurtles toward the earth below.
Without expression or hesitation after witnessing the crash, "Henry" turns to Goodwin-- who is recognized as the Other who had infiltrated the tail section group after the crash and allowed for most of the group to be kidnapped-- and orders him to find the tail section in the water.
The man fixing the plumbing is revealed to be none other than Ethan-- the kidnapper of Claire who had brought terror to the survivors while living among them for several weeks- and is ordered to act as one of the survivors of the fuselage section. Both are instructed to devise lists in three days (apparently of survivors suitable for kidnapping) and they accept their instructions readily and without question.
Juliet (still holding the novel) stands along with the group in front of trimmed lawns and pristine houses as the view pans away to reveal the neighborhood establishment is no more than a bright green plot of land on the rugged terrain of the island.
The neighborhood is well-concealed behind a highland area, the ocean glimmers to the east of the stunningly large island, and the smoke rising from the Oceanic crash site can be seen staining the blue sky in the distance.
And there it all began.

Answer: False

When Jack awakens for the first time after having been imprisoned by the group known as the Others, he immediately finds a bandage and cotton ball on the crook of his arm and removes it. (Kate is seen doing the same after she awakens, but Sawyer-- although presumably would have the same-- is not.)
Jack discovers that he is in a metal room with a wall of reinforced glass-- an aquarium. A woman immediately recognized as Juliet, seemingly assuming responsibility to earn Jack's trust, enters and tries to persuade him to stop attempting to escape.
Her deceivingly convincing sincerity in her response to Jack indicate a sense of underlying ulterior motive, progressing until the time she had succeeded in weakening Jack to his breaking point.

Answer: coffee

When Kate regains consciousness, she finds herself near a running shower with Tom (a.k.a. "Bluebeard", the formerly bearded spokesperson of the Others) standing above her. He allows her to shower in privacy, but takes her clothes (after which they are apparently burned) and instead leaves a sundress for her to wear.
Kate is brought to meet "Henry" at an unusual setup on the beach, where she is served breakfast and bluntly told the harsh reality-- all this was done in order for her to have something "nice" to retain, because the two weeks which followed would be extremely unpleasant.
During the conversation "Henry" makes a slightly perplexing inquiry about the relationship of Kate towards Sawyer and Jack, and eventually reunites her with Sawyer through their outdoor cages.

Answer: Stick

Sawyer regains consciousness in an outdoor cage designed as a testing apparatus for bears, with an unknown inhabitant sitting in the cage across from him. In a persistent attempt to escape, Sawyer continuously devises ways in which to work the various mechanisms inside.
After receiving a powerful electric shock from pressing the "warning" button containing a knife and fork symbol, Sawyer becomes feverishly obsessed with solving the device.
After several unsuccessful endeavors, Sawyer is able to accomplish the feat by bringing a large black rock through the bars to place on a ground lever while throwing a shoe at another lever. (Earlier he had attempted to rope on of the levers with his belt.) The speaker sings congratulations and Sawyer is thrilled at defeating the gizmo-- until he discovers that his reward is a fish-shaped, Dharma-labeled biscuit, some animal kibble and some water in a trough.
Tom later comments about Sawyer's success, "It only took the bears two hours." We might assume he is speaking of the seemingly displaced polar bears seen roaming the tropical land in the early days on the island.
Meanwhile, Karl-- the young man in the cage across from him-- executes an escape plan of his own. Sawyer's involvement lands him shot with a dart and dragged back to the cage, where Karl is roughly forced by Tom to apologize. Kate is then brought to take Karl's place in the cage, and Sawyer's eyes light up to see her. The two share a conversation which strongly displays their elation to see one another, lending evidence to the true intentions of the Others. Whether Karl was truly a captive making a futile escape, or instead a decoy involved in a maneuver to install fear into the prisoners, is unknown.

Answer: He accepts/agrees with it

The mystification of "Henry's" true motives deepen when he confronts Jack and Juliet at the hatch-like door in the corridor and makes no move to prevent what is happening. (He simply states in a monotone voice, "Okay"-- to which Juliet shows true affliction-- and warns that they will all die anyway should the door be opened.)
Instead, "Henry" watches intently with his customary wide-eyed stare as Jack shoves Juliet to a wall and turns a wheel to open the hatch, bringing a rush of sea water into the compound.
Just before the water bursts in, "Henry" makes a dash for a metal door and slams it shut before Juliet can escape with him.
After the two manage to shut the door and press an emergency button to drain the water, Juliet renders Jack unconscious with a blow to the face.
Throughout Jack's flashbacks, the outcome of the divorce to Sara leads Jack to suspect his own father of having an affair with her. It is revealed that Christian had been involved in a rehab program in order to sober up, and that Jack's explosion of anger had brought his father back to being a drunk-- as well as his losing Sara forever. The incident lends explanation to the reason Jack had been convinced into going to Australia to find his father to begin with, and shows a painfully obsessive side of Jack which is strikingly different from the collected leader of the survivors following the crash.
Note:
It is also interesting to note the scene in which Jack is tending to a patient in the hospital (for whom he mentions removal of an "epidural catheter"), just before he observes his father answer the cell phone and suspect the caller to be Sara. The patient, an older man lying on the table, bears a noteworthy resemblance to Tom. Although no definitive conclusions can be drawn from the mere glimpse, it certainly places a remarkable and tragic sense of irony on the entire situation-- especially with the complete reversal of roles in the new hatch, in which Jack had become the prisoner of the man he had once defended to suspicions of being an Other (when "Henry" was a prisoner to the survivors).

Answer: True

After Kate is led to the outdoor cage directly across from Sawyer, Tom tells her to put her arms through the bars so that he may remove the cuffs. Noting that they had injured her wrists badly, Tom contended that he would bring antiseptic (to which Sawyer sarcastically added a list of requests).
When Tom exited Sawyer's expression softened and he shared a sincere exchange with Kate, involving his sharing of the fish cracker he had "won" from the device in the bear cage.
While both attempted to conceal their fear and uncertainty, the heartfelt feelings for one another were surfaced more clearly than ever in spite of-- or due to-- their current conditions.

Answer: Yes

When Jack awakened after experiencing the rush of incoming water from the hatch leading to the outside, he surmised that the entire station was underwater. Juliet confirmed this, and also conceded that the station was indeed once part of the Dharma Initiative (although she tended to imply that the Initiative was an element of the past). The station was known as the Hydra, and featured a symbol of a horizontal bar or the generic Dharma name located inside the signature octagon shape. The logo was seen on numerous features of the area, including the water bottle which Juliet attempted to give Jack. In addition, the symbol lends explanation to the Dharma-stamped tail of the shark which had circled Sawyer and Michael on the remnants of the raft after the sabotage.
Juliet added that the room in which Jack was held was an aquarium used for sharks and dolphins.
Based on the "Orientation" film, which had explained the six stations of the Dharma Initiative located on the island, it is likely to assume that this would be the zoology-based location (possibly resolving the mysterious appearances of the polar bears as well).
Thus far in the island exploration there had been several logos discovered, although it is still a bit unclear as to which may be actual stations in relation to others: The Swan, representing Desmond's hatch (the electromagnetic station); the arrow, seen in the vacated storage facility found by the tail section survivors; the Caduceus symbol, representing the medical station in which Claire had been kept in captivity for two weeks; and the white circle representing the Pearl station, discovered by Locke and Eko to be an observation station with monitoring devices and live video feed. Although a door symbol was found stamped on the camp to which Michael was taken upon his capture it is uncertain as to whether or not this was a true Dharma station or simply an imitation, since Sayid's search of the camp led only to false leads and dead ends. It is also unclear whether the "arrow" was truly a station, or merely an abandoned storage compound.
Finally, a new symbol can be spotted on the buildings and large pipes seen from directly outside of Sawyer's cage. The symbol appears to be some sort of sea creature (perhaps an octopus or seahorse) although a clearer glimpse would be necessary to determine.
In any case, the mystery of the Dharma Foundation deepens with each new revelation.

Answer: life

After the escape incident, Jack awakens back in the aquarium room to find Juliet seated outside the glass, leafing through a file folder full of papers. Jack questions her, and is both stunned and alarmed to find the extent of information which is contained in the file about his former life. From his occupation to a copy of his father's autopsy report, Juliet assures Jack that she has it all-- and she can tell him what he wants to know about his own life.
Jack had longed to know the name of the man for whom Sara had left him, but asked Juliet only if she was happy. Juliet confirmed this, and Jack finally gave in to the overwhelming grief and torn emotions that had pursued him from the past. Broken and defeated, Jack complied silently with Juliet's request that he sit against the wall and allow her to bring the food.
Juliet exited the room empty-handed and encountered someone in the hallway one would not be surprised to see-- the one apparently responsible for all which was occurring in the stations.
"Henry" nodded in approval and commended, "Good work, Juliet."
Juliet accepted and replied, "Thank you, Ben."
His true identity revealed and the lead survivors in captivity, one can only begin to surmise the fate which awaits the captives under the dominion of the Others.
