I do not have the episode on tape so perhaps my memory is wrong- Did Shannon and Boone actually express a love that dare not speak its name?

Or - did it happen this way. Locke gave Boone the goo-goo jungle paste so that he would imagine how that would be, and how he would feel afterward, and thus be freed by Locke's goo-goo jungle paste intervention.

Everyone I know thinks that it did happen in real life.

If Raggs is too busy doing duties and preparing for the big two-hour season-ender, then anyone who can answer with arthori-ty is welcome to help me out. Don't know if I can wait for the DVD to get this straight.
