What the hell was with all the people standing out the front of Jack's cage? It's so frustrating how the characters ask questions and get such vague answers in return. But I guess it makes you want to know more. One day this show will actually answer something properly.
Didn't see the importance of the gift either, but it's probably a cultural thing. And why did she resist so much? Well just look at the beating Jack took at the end.

About the people hanging outside the cage, makes you wonder about two ideas given in the episode and from what we've seen in the series. We've been lead to believe and a couple of instances that the abducted people were given a better life from what they would experience in the Island. We've also seen that the Others have technology and methods to brainwash people. So it's hard to tell what they are actually doing with those abducted people, and if they are currently in the camp because of their free will or because they've been tricked somehow.
