Does It Hurt?

Enzo wakes up with a splitting headache and quickly realizes he is in a hatch underneath the lighthouse. He can hear and see Sylvester through the hatch door above him, and he locates a shovel and gas lantern nearby. Enzo sees graves all around him, indicating the people Sylvester killed over the years, as well as a cot, a first aid kit, and a bucket of human waste, revealing that Sylvester has kept Kacey down there periodically. Enzo uses rubbing alcohol from the kit and scraps of fabric to start a fire at the entrance of the hatch, while Sylvester slaps Kacey for letting Sawyer and Enzo find the radio. Once the fire starts, Sylvester rushes to open the hatch, firing two shots that miss Enzo. Enzo knocks Sylvester down, grabs the gun, and runs to Sylvester’s bedroom, where he finds Sawyer chained to the bedframe. Enzo releases Sawyer, chiding her for getting hurt, and they hold their breath as they move back downstairs.

The fire is extinguished, but smoke fills the room. Enzo does not see Kacey, and he sets the gun down to pin Sylvester to the ground. Kacey tackles Enzo, and Sylvester goes for the gun, but Sawyer catches her chains around Sylvester’s neck and drags him to the ground. Enzo struggles with Kacey, seeing her rip the stitches around her mouth to scream. He feels bad for her, knowing the conflict she is experiencing between fleeing from and helping her father. Enzo avoids Kacey and moves to help Sawyer, but Sylvester breaks free, grabs the gun, and fires at Enzo. Enzo feels something push him aside, and Kacey gets hit in the chest by Sylvester’s bullet. Sylvester rushes to Kacey, but Enzo pushes him away. Enzo watches Kacey die, and she gently caresses his beard, comforting him as she dies. Enzo grabs the gun and heats it in the flame of the gas stove. He then presses the barrel of the gun into Sylvester’s neck, burning through to his spine and killing him. Sawyer and Enzo hear someone talking on the radio in the beacon room.

Sawyer says they need to answer the radio. Enzo tells her that calling the Coast Guard will mean that she gets arrested and sent to jail. Sawyer says she deserves punishment, but Enzo suggests Sawyer pretend to be Trinity, Sylvester’s eldest daughter who died by suicide. They can claim that Sawyer Bennett came to the island, Sylvester killed her, and her body is buried in the graves Enzo found. Sawyer agrees to the plan, but she notes that Enzo will have to lie for her. Enzo is happy to lie or kill for Sawyer, and he kisses her on the forehead.

After 24 days on Raven’s Isle, Sawyer sits in the water and watches a Coast Guard boat approach her. Enzo tells her to get out of the water, but Sawyer cries as the boat gets closer, thinking this will be the last time she needs to pretend to be someone else.

Enzo and Sawyer get medical treatment, then they are taken to the police station for questioning. Officer Bancroft kindly questions Sawyer. Sawyer pretends that she was held captive on the island her entire life, explaining that Kacey was punished in different ways—like the stitching over her mouth—because Sylvester preferred Sawyer. Sawyer claims that Sylvester hid her and Kacey whenever people came to the island, and she does not know how many people Sylvester killed. Sawyer periodically asks for Enzo, playing the part of a woman he saved, and she avoids talking negatively about her “dad,” Sylvester, to make Bancroft believe her story. Sawyer tells Bancroft that one woman, Sawyer Bennett, was held captive with her about five years prior, and she hands Bancroft a letter Sawyer wrote. The letter explains how Sawyer killed Kevin after years of being abused by him, and she does not regret it. However, the letter does apologize for stealing people’s identities, and it implies that Sawyer died by suicide. Sawyer hopes that the only photo they find of her is from her goth phase as a teenager, which will make it hard to notice that the woman they know as Trinity is actually Sawyer.

After questioning, Bancroft notices Sawyer’s tattoo—reading “Fuck You” on her thigh—and Sawyer claims she did the tattoo herself to upset Sylvester. Bancroft believes her, and she suggests that Sawyer stay at a shelter for a while to acclimate to society. Sawyer says she wants to stay with Enzo because he saved her, but Bancroft implies that Enzo is under investigation. Enzo comes out with Officer Jones, who interrogated him, and rushes to Sawyer, holding her face and asking if she is all right. Enzo insists that Sawyer stay with him, and Bancroft and Jones reluctantly allow it, with Jones adding that he will want to talk to Enzo again soon.

At Enzo’s house, Sawyer discovers Senile Suzy in the driveway, amazed that Enzo found and retrieved her van. Enzo refers to the house as both of theirs, and Sawyer feels a combination of fear and warmth. They take a shower together, and Sawyer asks about Enzo’s love of sharks. At first, Enzo says he wanted to be like the sharks he studied, but he grew to respect and love them over time. Sawyer worries that Enzo might be hurt by sharks, but Enzo says he is always careful to remember that sharks are wild animals that could hurt him. Enzo says he would sooner pry open the jaws of a shark than abandon Sawyer, and she thinks about how love is changing her. They caress each other, but Enzo pulls away, commenting that they need to eat. Sawyer makes a joke about getting pregnant, though she says she does not want children. After looking over Enzo’s body again, she says she might be willing to have children with him.

Enzo brings Sawyer to his facility, and they joke about how Enzo assaulted Sawyer on the Johanna. They visit an 18-foot shark, and Sawyer is amazed. Troy jokingly criticizes Enzo for going missing for a month, only to call and ask for Senile Suzy. Enzo introduces Troy to Sawyer by her real name, which causes a moment of panic for Sawyer, but Enzo trusts Troy and tells him the full story of Raven’s Isle. Troy says Sawyer is a badass, and Enzo agrees. Enzo can see that Sawyer is already tired, noting that it has only been one day since they returned home, but Sawyer wants to see the entire facility. Enzo notes the way Troy looks at Sawyer, and he feels a flash of jealousy that is only calmed by the knowledge that Troy knows Enzo would kill him if he touched Sawyer. In the main underwater area of the facility, the walls are all glass, and Sawyer is amazed by the fish swimming by. Sawyer points out various fish and asks about megalodons and mermaids. Troy tells Enzo to keep Sawyer, and Enzo tells him he will.

Enzo swims with a shark, grabbing hold of its dorsal fin and riding it to the ladder out of the enclosure. On the dock, he finds Troy, Sawyer, Bancroft, and Jones. Sawyer looks uncomfortable, and Officer Jones tells Enzo they have determined that Enzo acted in self-defense, clearing him of suspicion. Enzo notes that he obviously acted in self-defense, and Sawyer and Troy try to tell Enzo to be more polite. Bancroft and Jones suggest that Enzo and Sawyer see a therapist, but they refuse. Sawyer tells Bancroft she wants to choose her new name, picking “Sawyer” to honor the Sawyer Bennett she claims she met on Raven’s Isle. Bancroft thinks that is a great idea, not knowing that Sawyer is her real name, and adds that more evidence against Kevin came to light after the report of Sawyer’s death reached the United States. Sawyer pales as Bancroft tells her that Kevin abused other young women, which Sawyer did not know. Jones interrupts Bancroft, and the police officers leave. Enzo asks if Sawyer is all right, and she says she is not. Enzo comforts her by explaining how she saved other women from Kevin’s abuse, and, if she went back to the United States as herself, the additional evidence might not have come out. Enzo tells Sawyer he wants to choose her last name when she changes it legally.

Sawyer and Enzo embrace in bed, and Sawyer—now Sawyer Vitale—thinks about how taking Enzo’s last name binds her to him. Enzo tells Sawyer they are going out on the boat that day, and Sawyer tries to claim that she cannot. She has not been on a boat since the Johanna, and she is afraid of another accident at sea. She reluctantly agrees to get on the boat, but only after she does something else.

Sawyer runs to the bus stop, where Simon greets her, wondering where she has been for the last month. Sawyer says she got lost, but she found her way back. Simon says it is time for another tattoo, and Sawyer chooses to get a cactus on her wrist, explaining to Simon that cacti are resilient. Simon is confused, but he does the tattoo, and Sawyer comments that it would be cool if he could do the tattoo with a needle from a cactus. Enzo arrives, suspicious of Simon, but Sawyer introduces them to each other. After explaining the cactus to Enzo, he sits down beside Simon and demands a tattoo on his wrist of a shark. Simon complies.

Sawyer and Enzo have sex in a shark cage partially submerged in the ocean, while a series of sharks gnaw at the bars of the cage. After they have sex, they climb back onto the boat, named Ladra, or “thief” in Italian. Sawyer reminisces on how Enzo bought the boat and proposed to her on it. They got married with Troy and Simon as witnesses. Sawyer jokes about feeding Enzo to the sharks, and he tells her she would miss him. She says she always survives, and Enzo chases after her. She runs, but she no longer has any intention of escaping him.
