Trivia:
(Episode #1.12), Shannon describes having been in France and seeing a children's animated movie about "computer fish" that ends with the song "La Mer" (known as "Beyond the Sea" in English). Although Shannon doesn't know the name of the movie, it is clearly Finding Nemo (2003), although the French dub of Finding Nemo, like the original American movie, ended with Robbie Williams's English cover of "Beyond the Sea" instead of the French source. This show and Finding Nemo are both products of the same parent company, Disney. On the DVD region 2 release (Eurpoe/france) the french track does have the french version of Beyond The Sea, this may have only been changed on the DVD release as Williams recorded a french language version for a disc being released of combined hits for a international market, and so may not have been available for a theatrical release. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Sawyer tells Kate "It's my knee, I'll tell you how bad it is!" his hair is relatively dry and disheveled. In the next shot (showing a wider angle of both characters), it's wetter and hanging almost straight down. more
Quotes:
Sawyer: [Kate has headbutted him] Ow, woman. If you wanted to play rough all you had to do was say so. more

The Dark Past of Kate Austen, 9 April 2006
8/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Kate Austen is plucking and picking fruits and seeds in the woods, and James "Sawyer" Ford meets her. They find a beautiful lake with a waterfall and decide to swim. They find on the bottom of the lake a wallet, and Kate, while recalling her past, tries unsuccessfully to take the wallet from Sawyer. Meanwhile, Rose helps Charlie Pace to recover, and Sayid Jarrah asks Shannon Rutherford to translate some French maps he stole from Danielle Rousseau.

"Whatever the Case May Be" discloses the dark past of Kate Austen, but the reason for the dispute for the wallet sounds silly, at least at this moment of the story. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Whatever the Case May Be"
