What happened to Willo will be explained in the next series of flashbacks, but it's not what you'd expect

Tom lies down in a hospital bed, holding a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a green towel up to his left eye. His nose was crooked and swelled as well. His room was empty for the moment, and Tom had the television turned off. Moments later Amber walked into the room, and, shortly after entering, covers her face with her hand.
"It's that bad, eh?" Tom said.
"Let me have a look" Amber said, as Tom removed the makeshift icepack, revealing his incredibly swollen and purple left side of his face, his eye swollen shut. "How do you feel?"
"Like tenderized meat."
"Well, you look worse."
"Thanks, hun. Listen, I... I've got something to tell you."
"You should get some rest..."
"No, I have to do this," Tom said, sitting up.
"Well, let me go first."
"Right, your trip... go ahead."
"I'm getting married."
"What? To whom?!?" Tom said, shouting.
"A guy, I met in Austrailia over break. He's really great, you should meet him."
"I don't think now is the best time for me to be meeting people."
"The Wedding. It's September 19th."
"I'm not exactly in the best state of minds to be making plans right now, hun."
"You get some rest now, you hear?"
"Yeah."

There was a knock on the door. Tom glanced at the alarm clock that was sitting on the edge of his bed. It was nearly four in the morning. The sleeping pills he had taken for the night had obviously gone to waste. He, appearing to be the only college student who didn’t drink on Thursday night searched his floor for a clean pair of pants. Not bothering to put on a shirt he made his way through the living room, tripping on his coffee table.
“Son of a bitch...” he said, grabbing his toe. He stumbled to the front door, opening it. There she was, mascara and makeup running down her face.
“Tom....” Amber said, crying, unable to get a word out. Tom’s sholders sank and he led her to the couch. “You were right. I was going to stop in to Juan’s house and... you...”
She burried her head into his bare chest, her makeup leaving an outline of her face on his chest. He rubbed her back gently.
“It’s alright, it’s alright, Amber,” he said, with the patience of a grandmother.
“Why don’t I listen to you?”
“Because I sound incredibly arrogent until I turn out to be right?”
She laughed through the tears.
“We doing a little better?” he asked, as she sat up. She nodded and he wiped the tears under his eyes.
“Thanks, Tom” she said, and kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll see you in class tomorrow.” She got up and left before Tom could say anything. His door swung close.
“See you.”

FLASHBACK No. 1, PART 2
Tom and the girl are sitting in an obviously different classroom, and are sitting next to each other.
"I'm telling you, Amber, your life is a soap opera," Tom said.
"Just because I constantly am battleing with two men in my life does not mean that it's like a soap opera. It's not like I have a friend with amnesia."
"What did you say?" he asked and she playfully hit him.
"So... what do you think?"
"What do I think? I think that Juan just wants you, as sort of a conquest thing. There's no romance there, and I think you know that. On the other hand, you're smart enough not to ruin a good thing with Peter."
She smiled and looked back at him. "You didn't answer the question," she said.
"You're kidding," Tom said, with a grin.
Just then, a teacher walked into the classroom.
"Alright, class, today we're going to be watching a video of a musical by Stephen Sondheim...."
"I like this one," Amber said. Tom just shook his head and smiled.

FLASHBACK 1, PART 1
Tom Wilhoat, looking a bit younger and clean shaven, sits in a lecture hall. On the board in large capital letters is “KANTIANISM”, which is also underlined. A large bearded man lectures the class.
“And I think that’ll just about do it for today,” the professor said. “We have a test next week, so over the weekend, study, damn it.”
Wilhoat got up and gathered his things, walking out of the class. A shorter girl with curly hair comes up behind him with her books in her hand.
“Hi,” she said.
“Hi,” Tom said.
“You’re Tom, right?” she asked, stopping Tom in his steps.
“Yeah, how did you…”
“Amy, she’s my roommate.”
“I’m sorry..?”
“You’re Tom… Wilhoat. You work at the school paper. So does my roommate. Amy Stevens. I’ve seen your photo.”
“Amy… the designer?”
“Yeah. So, are you going up to the newsroom right now?”
“Yes, I am.”
“I’ll walk with you, that is if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all.”
“You’re probably all freaked out right now, hunh? This crazy girl comes out of nowhere and starts following you.”
Tom stopped again and looked at her, with a very serious look on his face.
“I’ve been waiting for this day my entire life…”
After a long pause, they both crack up and keep walking.

It might be easier to assume they talked at some point, when we weren't "watching". Then not talking would be... well...odd.

I think Mason will come along, in his quest to be useful. But, I have other plans.

Here are mine:
Erik - beach. "I've lived in a beach for 15 years. Like hell I'm going to stop now." "G" - beach--at least to see his bet through Maxine - undecided Walter - undecided Willo - Expect him to talk to Grace about it,

Also Claire--I was told to wait for you to edit your post, and I guess maybe I forgot to double check back. If you have edited that post, just link me to it, and I'll continue the scene... sorry.

Tom is waiting at the Arrow for Danny to come back with the team. Then, I assume, Tom will radio in that there's a problem.

The Others took three (the blond guy, the curly-haired guy, and the German who was helping us with the injured.) It takes about one hour to get from the tail to Othersville, according to Ben in "A Tale of Two Cities", though it could take less. They should return on Day 12.
All we need for Day 1 to end in Othersville is for Ben to give Tom the okay to "take out the threats"

Here's what's left to go with the Locke scene: SAWYER [to Jack]: And you gave him his knife back? JACK: Well, if you've got a better idea. SAWYER: Better than the three of you wandering into the magic forest to bag a hunk of ham with nothing but a little bitty hunting knife? Hell no, it's the best idea I ever heard. [Locke opens his case which is full of knives. Everyone looks like "okay" ?] HURLEY: Who is this guy?

Alright, here is my suggestion for the others: Ben comes back and finds Tom has but together a team to get the three people taken from the camp on night one. Ben has Danny lead that team while he sends Tom and perhaps someone else to detch Ethan where they play out the Sarah scene again.
Also, Mason is going to offer to build Bella a shelter--and he's going to fetch some supplies from the jungle are "cherrypicked". He could use a couple of companions for this trip if anyone is interested.
I would also like Willo to have an encounter with Little Sarah--mainly because, if you read my backstory, little kids tend to stare at Willo for some reason. I'd like to expand on that some more, so if you want to talk about that Lee :-).
Finally, Paul, I would like Aaron and Paul to have a showdown. We can work out the details soon, but It's important for establishing Brooks as a character.
