On the beach, Charlie is trying to pursuade Claire to move to the caves. The conversation leads to a reveal that she loves peanut butter. Charlie says to Claire that if he can find peanut butter she has to move to the caves.

Sawyer is asleep and wakes up to see Sayid peering over him. Sayid knocks him out and he and Jack drag him to the jungle and tie him up. Sayid goes on to torture him into telling them where the inhalers are, and eventually gives in and tells them he’ll only tell Kate.

When Kate arrives he asks her again for that kiss. She seems reluctant but gives in as she thinks this is the only way he’ll tell her where the inhalers are. After their kiss though, Sawyer tells her he never had them. The book washed up on shore. After a smack in the face from Kate, she joins Jack and Sayid to tell them he doesn’t know where they are.

Sayid thinks he’s lieing and rushes in to torture him some more, but Sawyer now has his hands free and a fight breaks out. Unfortunately, Sayid manages to stab Sawyer in the arm hitting an artery. Sayid rushes off to the caves to get Jacks medical supplies.

Later on, when Sawyer is recovering, Kate goes to speak to him. She tells him she’s read the letter again and that she noticed the bicentennial label on the envelope - the letter wasn’t written to Sawyer, it was written by Sawyer when he was younger.

Sawyer explains that when he was a little boy, a guy called Sawyer conned his parents which resulted in his father killing his wife and then himself. When he was older he got into some trouble and needed some money, so he took on the identidy of Sawyer and became a con man himself. He became the man he was hunting.

At the caves, Shannon is feeling a lot calmer now after Sun made a remedy which uses eucalyptus leaves. Jack thanks Sun for her help.

On the beach, Charlie tells Claire he has found some peanut butter and produces an empty jar. She looks puzzled by this but plays along with the pretence that there is actually peanut butter in the jar.

Sayid walks past Kate and he tells her he’s going to map the island and see what else is out there, and that he can’t think of anyone better to do it than the one person he trusts.

Sayid is sitting on the beach looking at the photo’s of Nadia, when he notices a piece of electrical cable sticking out of the sand. He picks it up and notices it leads into the jungle. He grabs it and follows it and it leads to a trap. Sayid is hung upside down by his leg, and a short while later someone walks over to him and cuts him down, knocking him out in the process.

When Sayid wakes up he is tied to a bed and is suffering with distorted hearing. He can hear someone asking about Alex and professes to have no clue what they’re talking about. The person continues to shock Sayid with an electric current and demands to know where Alex is.

He explains that he is a survivor of a plane crash and that he picked up a distress signal of a French woman that has been played on a loop for 16 years. The person walks out of the shadows and asks “Has it really been that long?”. The person is the French woman!

At the caves, Locke arrives with Ethan who have been out hunting for food. They found some luggage to which Hurley volunteers to look through. As he is looking through one of the bags he has a bemused look on his face like he has found something exciting!

Sayid finds himself still tied up to the bed and notices a jacket with the name Rousseau on it. He reads it out and the French woman asks how he knows her name. They have a conversation which leads to her asking about Nadia. Sayid tells her Nadia is dead and Rousseau seems saddened by this revelation.

Rousseau shows Sayid a music box that was given to her by her husband Robert. He was part of her science team and she explains that they all got sick and died on the island. She is upset as the music box is broken, and explains that it brought her much comfort for the first few years that she was on the island. Sayid offers to fix it. She seems to ignore Sayids offer and gets out a needle to which she uses to sedate him.

At the caves, Charlie tells Jack and co. that Hurley is worked up about something and that he wants them to go and see. When they arrive Hurley announces that he has built a golf course! He figured with the situation that they’re in that they need a little fun to distract them from monsters, and polar bears. (You didn’t hear about the polar bear?!).

When Sayid wakes up from the sedative he finds himself sat up in a chair. Rousseau apologises and explains it was the only safe way to move him. She wants him to fix her music box for her. Sayid agrees and asks her what her first name is, to which she says “Danielle”. Danielle explains that there are others on the island, but she has never seen them, only heard them. “They whisper” she says. Sayid thinks she’s been alone for too long.

At the beach word gets out about the golf course, and Boone, Shannon and Kate go to check it out. It isn’t long before alot of the survivors are there to watch Charlie and Jack take their shots.

Back at Danielle’s place, Sayid has fixed the music box and she seems very grateful. They are then interupted by a loud noise outside and Danielle takes a gun and goes to investigate. Sayid notices another gun and grabs it and follows her.

Sayid finds Danielle and tells her to put the gun down. She doesn’t listen and aims her gun at him, just as he aims his gun at her. Sayid realises that Danielle isn’t going to back down and pulls the trigger, only to find the gun doesn’t actually work. She explains that Robert didn’t notice it either when she shot him. Sayid realises that Danielle killed her husband and team, and she tells him she did it because they were sick.

Sayid tells Danielle that he isn’t sick and she seems sad as she says “I know”. She doesn’t want to let Sayid go because she has been on her own for such a long time, but she realises she has to. When she walks away Sayid asks her who Alex is and she tells him she was her child.

Later, when Sayid is walking through the jungle he begins to hear the whispers!

Claire has a bad dream whilst sleep walking, where she is walking through the jungle following the sounds of a baby crying. She no longer has a bump and there appears to be blood on her top where her bump was. She comes accross Locke who tells her “He was your responsibility but you gave him away, Claire. Everyone pays the price now.” She seems confused and runs off to a cot in the middle of the jungle. She unravels the blankets to find her baby, only to find a pool of blood. She starts to scream.

Out of her dream, Charlie is trying to calm her down as she keeps screaming and screaming, and when she finally does calm down he notices her hands are covered in blood. She’d been so scared that she dug her finger nails into her skin.

Charlie takes a cup of tea to Claire and tells her that he thinks about her being alone on the island without any friends, and that he could be her friend. She isn’t really in the mood for talking but she appreciates the sentiment.

That night, someone tries to inject Claire’s stomach with something whilst she’s sleeping, but she wakes up and starts screaming. She tells everyone that someone was trying to hurt her baby, but she didn’t see who it was.

Hurley has a discussion with Jack and tells him that he’s going to put a list together of who everyone is and where everyone “lives”, because nobody knows who everybody is. Jack agrees to the idea.

On the beach, Jack is speaking with Kate and Charlie and suggests that Claire is just under stress and that the incident was just her imagination. Charlie took offence and immediately stuck up for her because she was terrified.

In the jungle, Hurley asks Ethan a couple of questions for the list he’s putting together. Ethan asks what it’s for and seems happy with Hurley’s answer of “thought it would be a good idea”.

At the caves Jack speaks with Claire and wants to give her some medication. When Claire realises that Jack thinks she’s just making the whole thing up, she grabs her stuff and walks off, making her way back to the beach. Charlie arrives just as she is walking off and asks Jack what he said to her. Charlie follows her to make sure she is ok.

At the beach, Hurley is speaking with Boone about the list, and Boone mentions the plane manifest that has the list of survivors on it. Hurley thinks it will be really useful and goes to get it off the one man who has everything… Sawyer. Sawyer doesn’t put up a fight though and is happy to let Hurley have the manifest.

In the jungle, Claire seems to be going into labour and Charlie runs off to find Jack. He bumps into Ethan and asks him to find Jack so that he can get back to Claire. When he gets back to her she seems to be ok.

Claire tells him the story of Richard Malkin and how she is only there because he told her to go to L.A. Charlie seems to think that Richard Malkin might have known about the crash, because the only thing he ever wanted was for Claire to raise the baby, and now that they’re on the island she will have to do just that. After thinking back on it, Claire begins to think that Richard Malkin did know.

At the caves Sayid returns injured and seems anxious to tell Jack something. He tells Jack that they’re not alone, and just as he says this Hurley arrives all panic stricken and tells Jack that there’s a name that isn’t on the manifest, that someone amongst them wasn’t on the plane!

On the way back to the caves Claire and Charlie are stopped by Ethan who seems to be giving them the evil eyes. It appears that he’s the one who tried to “hurt” Claire’s baby.

At the caves, Hurley tells everyone that it is Ethan who wasn’t on the plane. After a few minutes Jack realises that Charlie isn’t there and he knows that he went to find Claire. Jack panics and heads off into the jungle to look for them, followed by Locke.

After they’ve found signs of a struggle, Locke tells Jack that they should go back to form a search party, but Jack is impatient and wants to know the direction of where they went so he can continue searching. Locke lets Jack go off on his own while he goes back to the caves.

At the caves, Kate tells Locke that she wants to help, and surprisingly Boone offers his helping hand aswell. Michael wants to help but Locke tells him they have all the help they need which seems to annoy Michael as he tells him he will set up his own search party.

Locke, Kate and Boone soon catch up to Jack who seems to have been going round in circles, and they head off to follow the tracks.

Later, they come accross two different tracks which Kate thinks Ethan made to fool them. They split up into two groups so that both tracks can be followed: Jack with Kate, and Boone with Locke.

While Locke and Boone are following their track Locke stops them and declares that it will start raining in 1 minute. Boone seems intrigued by this and, surprise surprise, it started to rain.

On the other track, Jack and Kate find themselves climbing up a hill after Jack hears whispers and what he thinks to be Claire’s screams. With the rain and the mud it caused Jack to fall down the hill where he is met by an angry Ethan who attacks him and tells him if he doesn’t stop following them he will kill one of them. He hits Jacks head on a rock and when Kate goes to see if he’s ok she thinks he imagined seeing Ethan.

When they finally get up the hill they find Charlie tied up by his neck to a tree. They both try frantically to get him down and when they do Jack desperately tries to revive him. After many attempts he seems to give up and Kate is in tears at the fact that Charlie has died. A few moments later though, Jack tries again as he can’t seem to accept that he has died. Luckily, Charlie did come round because of Jacks determination.

Later that night Charlie is at the caves and Jack is trying to question him about what happened. Charlie says he can’t remember, but then says “All they wanted was Claire”.

Locke and Boone are still out in the jungle obviously not following any track anymore, when Boone says he’s going to make his way back. Locke throws a torch at him to use, but it falls onto something metal that is in the ground.

Kate is out in the jungle picking apples from the trees when she hears movement in the bushes. She throws a rock in that direction and it turns out it is Sawyer. He claims he is just looking out for her since Claire got abducted.

As they’re walking through the jungle they come accross a waterfall and a lake where they have a bit of fun and dive in. Whilst underwater, they both notice some wreckage and dead bodies from the plane. Kate particularly has her eye on a case which she asks Sawyer to get for her, claiming that it’s hers. When Sawyer realises it isn’t hers he takes it from her.

On the beach the survivors are having to move their stuff up the coast as the tide is coming in too strong and taking some of their stuff with it.

Shannon asks Boone what he is up to with Locke as he has been with him for the past four days. Boone tells her he is helping Locke look for Claire instead of being “useless” like she is.

At night, Kate sneaks into Sawyers tent in an attempt to steal the case from him, but he wakes up and grabs hold of her to stop her.

Sayid asks Shannon to help him translate some of Rouseauu’s papers. Initially she thinks Boone has put him up to it, but when Shannon asks Sayid if he did his reply was a simple “no”. She agrees to help but insists she doesn’t know too much French.

Sawyer is having difficulty opening the case which results in him throwing it from the top of trees to see if it will open. Kate has been following him and as soon as he’s thrown it down she grabs it and runs off. Sawyer catches up with her though and tells her she can have it if she’ll tell him what’s in it. She doesn’t give in though.

At the caves, Kate tells Jack about the case and tells him it has guns in it. She tells him the key is in the Marshalls wallet in his back pocket and wants to know where his body is buried so she can dig it up. Jack senses that this isn’t just about guns and asks her what else is in the case. She plays all innocent and claims that it’s just the guns.

When they’ve dug up the body Kate finds the wallet, but when she opens it she quickly throws it down because there are maggots crawling all over it. It took Jack a few seconds to realise it was just a distraction so that Kate could take the key without Jack knowing. He seems dissapointed in Kate for lieing to him.

At the beach Sayid is becoming annoyed with Shannon’s translations because it doesn’t make any sense. Shannon takes offence at this because it could just be that Rouseauu wasn’t making any sense, not her, and she ends up running off.

Jack goes to see Sawyer and blackmails him into giving him the case. When he’s got it he finds Kate and tells her that they’re going to open the case together.

When the case is open Jack hands her what she wants and, when she opens it to reveal a toy airplane, he asks her what it is. She tells him it belonged to the man she loved, but Jack doesn’t believe her and keeps pressing her to tell the truth. In all her emotion, she eventually tells him it belonged to the man she killed.

That night at the beach, Rose tells Charlie that she believes her husband is still alive. “There’s a fine line between faith and denial”, she says. Charlie breaks down about the fact that he couldn’t help Claire, and Rose comforts him while praying.

Shannon speaks to Sayid and explains to him that her boyfriend in France had a young boy who would watch a movie over and over again. It was a famous movie dubbed in French, and she explains that the notes on Rouseauu’s papers were the same song: they were song lyrics. Shannon begins to sing the song to Sayid as Boone looks on.

Boone is watching Shannon and Sayid talking on the beach. When Sayid walks away from her Boone gives him a warning to stay away from her.

In the jungle, Jack watches Kate as she picks seeds from the bushes. Kate knows that he’s there and she takes him to see a garden that Sun has created in the middle of the jungle.

Locke and Boone are now at the metal object they found, which will be called The Hatch, and are trying to figure out a way of opening it. Boone tells Locke that he needs to tell Shannon what he’s doing because she keeps asking questions and he can’t keep lying to her. Locke seems dissapointed in Boone for wanting to tell Shannon and knocks him out!

When Boone comes to he finds himself tied up and Locke puts some home-made stuff on the back of his head to help his wound. Boone thinks Locke is crazy for doing it and tells him he won’t tell Shannon about The Hatch, but Locke is having none of it. He throws a knife at Boone which lands in front of him and tells him with the right motivation he can let himself free. Locke then proceeds to leave Boone on his own.

At Sun’s garden, Kate is telling her a story and when she says something funny Sun gives a smile and Kate realises that Sun can understand her. Sun tells her that she doesn’t want anyone to know that she can speak English, especially not Jin.

In the jungle Boone can hear Shannon screaming and she tells him Locke has tied her up too. It seems that that is enough motivation for Boone to set himself free as he manages to reach the knife and cut through the rope. He runs to Shannon and unties her and then they are chased by the Smoke Monster. They hide in the trees until they’re safe to go.

When they’re hiking back to the beach Shannon has a go at Boone for annoying Locke. He tells her that they found a hatch and the reason Locke tied them both up was because he wanted to tell her about it.

The Smoke Monster starts chasing them again and it grabs hold of Shannon and kills her. Boone is distraught.

When Boone makes it back the beach he attacks Locke and tells him that Shannon is dead. Locke explains to Boone that the stuff that he put on the back of his head made him hallucinate and that Shannon isn’t really dead. Locke asks him how he felt when Shannon had died, and Boone says he felt relieved. Locke seems happy with Boone’s answer and feels that they can now continue with their Hatch opening quest.

Michael is out in the jungle looking for Walt. When he finds him he is with Locke and Boone, and Locke is teaching him how to throw a knife. Michael is angry that Locke is trying to influence his ten year old son and tells him to stay away from him.

Later, Sayid, Jack and Shannon are discussing Roussaeu’s maps when Michael declares that he is going to build a raft to get them off the island.

Charlie is looking through Claire’s bags for her diary. When he can’t find it he goes to the one person who will most probably have it: Sawyer. They have a bit of a punch up but Charlie manages to get the diary from him.

Michael gets Walt to help him with the start of the raft, but after seeing Locke and Boone heading to the caves, Walt follows them without Michael knowing.

When Michael realises Walt is gone he heads to the caves and sees him talking to Locke. Michael threatens Locke and tells him if he ever goes near him again he will kill him. Walt stands up for Locke and tells Michael he is his friend. Michael throws the Spanish comic book into a nearby fire and tells Walt he will do as he’s told.

Later, when Walt is in the jungle with Vincent, Vincent seems aggitated by something and runs off. Walt chases after him. When Walt realises he’s lost Vincent he slows down but then is attacked by a Polar Bear! He hides in the trees and shouts for his dad.

When Michael realises Walt could be in danger Locke offers his help in finding him. They hear Walt calling for help and are shocked to see a Polar Bear attacking him. Both Locke and Michael climb a nearby tree and Locke ties Michael up round the waist to lower him down to where Walt is. Michael stabs the Polar Bear with a knife and Walt is alive and safe.

Later that night, Michael gives the box of letters to Walt. Walt hadn’t seen them before and I think he realises now just how much Michael loves him and that he’s only doing what’s right by him.

Charlie goes to speak with Jack and Sayid and tells them he read Claire’s diary and in it was mention of the Black Rock. He suggests that that maybe where Claire is but they’re unwilling to help.

When Locke and Boone are out in the jungle looking for Vincent they hear rustling in the bushes. Locke is ready to attack just in case, but who should come out of the bushes looking the worst for wear - it’s Claire!

Locke carries Claire to the caves and explains to the camp that he and Boone found her wandering in the jungle and that she’d passed out.

Charlie is quick on the scene to see if Claire is ok. When she comes to she looks confused and starts to panic and scream “Who are you people?!”. It appears that she doesn’t remember what has happened to her.

Jack tries to explain to her the situation - that they’d all crashed there on Flight 815 and that she’d been abducted by Ethan over a week earlier. When Charlie goes to speak with her later on he tries to comfort her. Claire has no recollection of him or their friendship, but Charlie stands by her nonetheless.

Charlie is walking through the jungle and comes accross Jin. He tries to have a conversation with him but he knew it was pretty useless because he can’t understand him. They suddenly stop to a weird noise that appears to be surrounding them, and all of a sudden Jin is knocked to the ground.

Charlie is greeted by an angry Ethan who tells Charlie that he wants Claire back, and if he doesn’t get her back he will kill one of the survivors every day until he does - and he will leave Charlie til last.

Charlie is quick to tell Jack and Locke what happened and they agree that they will guard the area. They also decide not to tell Claire.

At the caves Kate reminds Jack of the Marshall’s case with the guns in it and suggests that they use them. Jack disagrees, however, and thinks the situation can be handled without guns.

That night, Boone is keeping guard of an area but he can’t keep his eyes open.

Boone wakes up and hears a noise coming from the jungle. He follows it only to find it is Vincent. Locke and Sayid come running through to see what the commotion is about. When they’re there, they hear a scream from the beach.

They run to the beach to find one of the survivors dead, in the water. Ethan had managed to kill him by coming through the water.

At the caves Claire gets the feeling that everyone is staring at her. She asks Shannon why they are and Shannon tells her about Ethan and his warning, and that he’s already killed one person.

When Charlie arrives back at the caves Claire shouts at him for not telling her about the Ethan situation. Charlie apologises and explains he lied to protect her.

In the jungle, Jack is walking with Locke to show him the case with the guns in. It seems that Jack now thinks it’s the right time to use the guns to resolve the situation.

At the caves Claire says she wants to help and Jack and Locke come up with a plan to infiltrate Ethan. They will take Claire where Ethan wants her to go and hide in the trees and ambush him when he gets there.

Charlie wants to go and be one of the gun men, but Jack thinks it best he doesn’t because he’s too emotionally involved.

Jack, Locke, Sayid, Sawyer and Kate go off into the jungle with Claire and hide. It is raining and dark and difficult to see just where Ethan will appear.

When he does appear Claire runs off and everyone tries to get to Ethan. Kate drops her gun in the process.

Jack gets to Ethan and a fight ensues. Jack isn’t going to let Ethan win this time, and when Ethan appears to be out of strength he stops hitting him: afterall, they need him alive to question him.

But, it appears Charlie followed them and he picks up the gun Kate dropped and out of nowhere shoots Ethan numberous times killing him. A look of shock appears on everyones faces, but Charlie doesn’t seem to care.

Later, when speaking with Jack, Charlie tells him that if he was in that situation again he wouldn’t hesitate to shoot: Ethan abducted Claire and left Charlie to die - “he deserved to die“, said Charlie.

That night, Sawyer wakes up from having a bad dream to find a boar sniffing through his tent. It runs off and Sawyer chases it into the jungle before losing it. When Sawyer is in the jungle he hears whispers.

Sawyer explains to Sayid what happened with the boar only to see that Sayid finds it amusing. Sawyer then asks Sayid about the whispers he heard on his way back from Roussaeu’s. Sayid says that the whispers where just the wind playing tricks on him.

Later, Sawyer is out in the jungle when the boar comes running at him. He ends up getting hit by the boar and landing in a big pile of mud.

When he gets back to the beach he tells Kate that this boar has it in for him, to which Kate finds highly amusing. Sawyer declares that he’s going to hunt the boar and kill it.

When Sawyer has been hunting for a while Kate comes out and tells Sawyer he’s been following the tracks of everything but boar. She tells him she’ll help him hunt the boar in exchange for carte blanche - whenever she needs anything from him she can get it. Sawyer has no choice but to agree.

Later that night Sawyer and Kate set up camp and they play a game called “I never”. The game involves alcohol and the revealing of a little bit about each others histories. During the game, they learn that they have both killed a man.

Sawyer and Kate find their stuff ransacked and boar prints all over the place. When they realise that it’s just Sawyers stuff it messed with Sawyer really starts to believe that the boar has it in for him.

Locke comes through the jungle to say hello to the happy campers, and tells them a story about his foster mother: how she once thought that the spirit of his foster sister was in the body of a golden retreiver. This story was told to point out to Sawyer that, perhaps, the spirit of somebody is in the boar that has it in for him.

Later, Sawyer and Kate come accross a baby boar and Sawyer thinks that the mother boar must be around there somewhere so grabs the baby boar and violently shouts for its mother. Kate isn’t bemused by this display and walks off.

Sawyer then comes accross the mother boar, the boar that seems to have it in for him, and Sawyer pulls the gun on it. He looks at it for a few minutes contemplating whether or not to do it, but then he changes his mind. Kate looks on as he does this.

Later, when Sawyer gives the gun back to Jack, Jack says something about the Red Sox that makes Sawyer remember his conversation with Christian at the bar in Australia. When he finds out that Jacks father was a doctor too, he realises that Christian is his father.

Jin is looking out to sea when he sees Sun wearing a bikini. He runs over to her frantically and tells her to cover herself up. They end up having an argument infront of everyone and when Jin looks like he’s about to get violent, Michael intervenes. Sun slaps Michael accross the face and looks angry with him. Sun and Jin then walk away still bickering at each other.

At the caves Jin asks Sun what’s going on between her and Michael. Sun tells him he’s being ridiculous.

Later, Sun goes to the beach to apologise to Michael and explains that she only slapped him to protect him from Jin. Michael doesn’t seem bothered by the apology and tells Sun it’s her problem, not his.

Shannon is with Sayid tieing knots and Sayid seems impressed with her knot-tieing ability. She tells Sayid that they should spend a Saturday night together tieing knots after he made a joke about her becoming a spinster. He looks at her like he’s smitten.

Michael is with Walt near the raft and they’re talking about New York. Michael is excited about the possibility of them going home and being able to show Walt the buildings in New York, but Walt doesn’t seem that interested.

That night, someone burns the raft and all accusations go to Jin who is nowhere to be found. When Sun finds him in the caves he is putting his hands under the water to cool them off because he’s burnt them. Sun thinks Jin did it and shouts at him and tells him Michael was trying to get them off the island, but Jin didn’t seem too impressed when Sun said Michael’s name.

Sayid goes to speak with Boone and tells him there’s a possibility he and Shannon may become more than just friends. Boone warns him off her telling him she usually dates older guys who can protect her and look after her, but when she’s done with them she quickly forgets about them.

Jin wakes up out in the jungle and goes to a stream to refresh himself, but Sawyer comes out behind him and knocks him out.

At the beach Sayid tells Shannon that he thinks she should look for other friends, but she realises that Boone has been speaking to him and goes off to find him.

When she finds Locke she tells him to pass a message on to Boone, but Locke tells her that her relationship with Sayid has nothing to do with her brother, and that “everyone gets a new life on this island”.

Sawyer drags Jin all the way to the beach where Michael is quick to confront him. Jack tries to stop Michael from attacking Jin but is told by Sayid that it is their fight and should be resolved. Jin says something to Michael in Korean which seems to tick Michael off and he hits him.

Sun is watching what’s going on, and when Michael goes for the third punch she shouts for him to stop it. Everyone looks confused, including Jin, at Sun’s apparant English language skills and wonder why she never said anything.

She doesn’t address that, however, and simply tells everyone that Jin didn’t start the fire, and that he burned his hands trying to put it out.

Locke then comes along and tells everyone that they shouldn’t be accusing each other, that they should be accusing “them” - The Others. He tells everyone “we’re not the only people on this island and we all know it!”.

Later, Walt is with Michael at the raft, and not put off by someone burning it, he declares that he is going to build another one. Walt looks surprised but impressed by his fathers determination and offers to help build the next one.

At the caves Sun is trying to talk to Jin but he ignores her. She then tells him, in English, that she was going to leave him but he changed her mind. She asks him if they can go back to the beginning, but he tells her it’s too late.

That night, Shannon goes over to Sayid and kisses him. When Sayid asks what she did that for, she repeats what Locke told her, that everyone gets a new life on this island, and she wants to start hers now.

Locke sees Walt playing backgammon and decides to join him. He asks Walt why he burned the raft. Walt looks at Locke as though he’s wondering how Locke knows, but he tells him he doesn’t want to move anymore, and that he likes it on the island.

Jin goes to the raft with some wood in hand and decides to help Michael build the next raft. Michael looks surprised, but agrees to let Jin help.

Jack speaks with Michael about the raft and Michael tells him that they need a battery. Jack goes to Sayid and asks if he can take him to see Roussaeu, because she had some batteries, and maybe they could get one from her. Hurley is there, and when Sayid refuses to help he shoves a load of Roussaeu’s papers at them. Hurley takes a quick look and notices the same numbers he’d use to win the lottery written on there over and over again.

That night, Hurley goes to Sayids tent to get the papers he’d seen earlier, only Sayid wakes up to find him there. Hurley asks Sayid about the numbers but Sayid doesn’t seem to know much, saying that he thought they might be coordinates. With that, Hurley ups and leaves.

Hurley is packing away some water for a walk, when Charlie comes over and asks him what he’s doing. He seems to be acting suspiciously, and when Charlie offers to come with him on his walk, Hurley tells him he needs some alone time.

Later, Sayid notices some of Roussaeu’s papers are missing and has a go at Jack for getting Hurley to do his dirty work. When it becomes clear that Jack had nothing to do with it, they ask Charlie if he’s seen him. Charlie says he saw him earlier “acting like a loon”, and then Jack and Sayid both realise he’s gone after Roussaeu. They decide to after him.

A while later, Hurley finds the cable that Sayid had found when he first discovered Roussaeu, and follows it into the jungle. Sayid, Jack, and Charlie have caught up by now and notice that Hurley is standing on a trap. When Hurley says he can make it off it, everyone warns him not to, but he does it anyway. When asked what he’s doing, Hurley says he’s trying to get a battery.

Later, they come accross a bridge that doesn’t look very safe, but Hurley volunteers to cross it. Everyone tries to pursuade him not to, but Hurley is a man on a mission and doesn’t listen to them. When Hurley crosses safely, Charlie gives it a go, only it collapses when he’s almost accross. Luckily he manages to grab hold of the side and pull himself up.

When Jack and Sayid tell them to wait while they find another way round, Hurley tells them that it’s ok. Charlie doesn’t look so enthusiastic and tells Hurley he’s acting like a maniac.

When Hurley and Charlie are walking through the jungle they realise they’re being shot at. Both of them run away but end up going in different directions. Hurley falls over and when he gets himself up he runs into Roussaeu. Hurley gets out the paper with the numbers on it and asks her what they mean.

She explains that her and her team heard those numbers 16 years ago whilst in their boat, and they decided to change course to investigate. It was those numbers what brought her to the island, and she tells Hurley that they must be cursed if they brought them both to the island. Hurley looks relieved and is happy that someone agrees with him, and ends up giving Roussaeu a big hug.

When Charlie catches up with Jack and Sayid he explains what happened, but when they decide to go and find Hurley, he turns up with a battery in hand. They all look at each other slightly baffled.

That night, at the beach, Charlie tells Hurley about his heroin addiction in the hope that Hurley will tell him why he acted the way he did today. When Hurley told him he was worth $156 million, Charlie just thought he was joking and walked off annoyed.
