I need reassurance... am I experiencing a Mandela effect??
Alright, some small spoilers in the mix here, but I'm currently on what is probably rewatch number 12 to 15ish. I just rewatched S2E1 "Man of Science, Man of Faith," and I feel like I might be going a little crazy.
During the flashback scene when Jack is about to operate on Sarah, she is laying on the surgical table and calls him over. She says that it's okay, she knows she won't be dancing at her wedding, but she can still roll around. Now, in my head, she definitely says to him "I'm letting you off the hook," during this exchange, before Jack says "I'm gonna fix you."
However, she doesn't say it. I had to actually stop and rewind to see if I missed it because I was expecting to hear it with such certainty that I figured I must have. Then I thought maybe I was misremembering and she instead says it in another flashback scene after the surgery. But nope. Not there either.
Now, the thing is, other parts of the internet agree with me. (I realize this is not typically a good rationalization for, well, anything.) But on Lostpedia, in the wiki for "regularly spoken phrases," it is included as one of the three times that the line is spoken to Jack:
https://lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Regularly\_spoken\_phrases/G-N#%22Letting\_you\_off\_the\_hook%22
In the Wikipedia entry for the "Do No Harm" episode (S1E20), it also mentions that the phrase Boone says to Jack is spoken again by Sarah in S2E1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do\_No\_Harm\_(Lost)#:\~:text=Boone%20says%20to%20Jack%20%22I,of%20Faith%22%20in%20a%20flashback#:~:text=Boone%20says%20to%20Jack%20%22I,of%20Faith%22%20in%20a%20flashback)
It would make sense for her to say it to him at that exact moment, since it is a recurring comment to Jack, first by both Rose and Boone. But I feel like I can picture Sarah saying it softly to him as she's lying on the table. Like, it's in my brain. Her inflection and everything. But it's not in the episode.
At least it's not in the episode that is currently on Netflix. I can't imagine why that version would be different than what aired or what was on the DVDs, especially to have that line edited, specifically. But is that a possibility?
I checked out the trannoscript in Lostpedia, but it does not show that line in the episode at all. It shows exactly how I'm watching it now. https://lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Man\_of\_Science,\_Man\_of\_Faith\_trannoscript
But I don't know for sure where that trannoscript was taken from.
So was this line never spoken by Sarah? Am I conflating it with the first two times it's said to Jack and just feel like it would fit perfectly in that scene? But why do other people also seem to believe that she says it to him?
Hurley would believe me.

LOST Finale
I watched LOST real time. I was so crazy for the show thru and thru. I was college when I saw the finale. I hated it. Felt like not providing answers was a huge cop out. As I grew older though and after numerous rewatches, I began to realize that the Island was not meant to answer all the questions. That towards the end, all that matters is your character change and all the relationships you've formed along the journey.
