   Summary

   As 815 burns, a woman who looks barely thirty sits beside a corpse with a notebook. Two months later, she stands before Benjamin Linus with all the authority of a magistrate. Two things become terribly clear to him:

   1. This is not her first time on the Island.

   2. She holds all the power necessary to dethrone him.
