Jack wakes in the middle of the jungle, injured and bewildered. Despite this, he picks himself up and heads toward the beach to help as many injured survivors as possible.

After he’s helped out, he finds himself a spot by himself to tend to his wounds, when Kate appears out of nowhere. Kate helps Jack by stitching his wound.

During their first night, the sound of the smoke monster can be heard and everyone on the beach is a little disturbed by it.

Jack and Kate decide to head for the cockpit to see if they can find a transceiver and are joined by Charlie.

At the cockpit they find the Pilot alive and he tells them that they were off course when the plane crashed and people will be looking for them in the wrong place. He gives them the transceiver before being “grabbed” and pulled out of the cockpit by the smoke monster.

Jack, Kate, and Charlie make a run for it, but somehow Jack gets a little lost on the way. Kate and Charlie head back to the cockpit to find Jack and notice a body up in the trees. It’s the body of the Pilot, which Jack points out when he greets them.

At the beach, Kate explains they have a transceiver but it doesn’t work and asks if anyone can help. Sayid offers, and later thinks he has fixed it but tells Kate he won’t be able to get a signal at the beach - they will have to go on a hike.

Sayid and Kate are joined by Charlie, Sawyer, Shannon and Boone and quickly come into trouble when they come accross… a polar bear? Sawyer has a gun and shoots it.

When they reach a high point of the Island Sayid switchs on the transceiver to see if it works, and to his surprise he is getting a signal. Unfortunately, there is something blocking it, and when he tunes into the message it is a message that has been looping for 16 years.

The message is that of a French woman, and Shannon being able to speak a little French, translates it to “I’m alone now… they’re all dead… it killed them all”.

On the Island, Kate, Sayid, Sawyer, Charlie, Boone and Shannon decide to make camp for the night before heading back to the beach. They decide not to tell anyone about the French womans distress signal and that it has been on a loop for 16 years.

Jack is attending to the Marshall. The Marshall is now half awake and tells Jack to look in his pocket - in there is a mug shot of Kate. The Marshall warns Jack that she is dangerous.

When Kate & Co. arrive back at the beach Sayid talks to the rest of the survivors about what “happened”.

Meanwhile, Kate finds Jack and she tells him what really happened on the hike. Jack doesn’t seem to digest this information properly as he seems more interested in finding out if Kate will tell him about her “fugitiveness”.

Kate goes to see how the Marshall is and he appears to be asleep, but he wakes and attempts to strangle her. Jack interupts and forces him off her.

Outside Kate asks Jack if the Marshall is going to die and if he’ll be in pain, suggesting that maybe they should put him out of his misery. Jack got angry with this suggestion and told Kate he knew that she was the Marshalls prisoner, and that he is not a murderer.

Later, the Marshall asks to speak with Kate alone to which Jack agrees, but Hurley mentions to Jack that Kate has a gun and a panic-stricken Jack rushes to the tent, only to see Kate walking out. He calls her, and when she turns around to look at him, a gun shot is heard from within the tent. Sawyer had shot the Marshall.

Unfortunately, Sawyer shot him in the chest and instead of hitting his heart, he hit one of his lungs, and now the Marshall was in even more pain. Jack had to do what he didn’t want to, and ended up smothering the Marshall to put him out of his misery.

Kate speaks to Jack and tells him she wants to tell him what she did, but Jack tells her he doesn’t want to know. He suggests that they all died in the crash, and that who they were doesn’t matter anymore, they’ve been given a new life to start over.

That night, in the middle of the night Vincent is barking loudly as he seems agitated by something. Most of the camp is awake by now but then they hear noises coming from the fuselage. Jack and Sawyer take a closer look and when they can’t seem to see anything, Sawyer uses his torch to its full advantage - and shines it on 3 boars! The boars are festering at the dead bodies in the fuselage, but make a run for it at the shock of the torch.

Jack suggests they burn the bodies so that they won’t be hunted by the boars again. Sayid and Kate disagree with Jack at first, but after listening to his reasoning they think it’s probably for the best.

When a fight breaks out in camp over the last of the peanuts, it’s soon apparant to everyone that all the food from the plane has gone. Locke says that with some help he can hunt the boars for meat - and shows everyone his case full of hunting knives. I think Hurley speaks for us all when he says “Who is this guy?”.

Kate and Michael join Locke hunting for boar. Kate has another agenda, however, as Sayid has given her an antenna to try to isolate the distress signal, which she will use further inland.

On the hunt, Michael is injured and Locke goes off on his own. On their way back to camp, Kate climbs a tree to use the antenna and while she’s up there she “sees” the Smoke Monster, and it’s heading in Lockes direction.

Locke looks straight at the Monster with fear in his eyes, and he looks like he’s going to be a “gonna”.

When Kate and Michael return to the beach Kate tells Jack that Locke didn’t make it. In the middle of their conversation Jack notices a figure of a man staring at him, and he dissapears into some trees. Jack quickly goes to follow him, and is greeted by none other than Mr. Locke - with boar in tow!

Later that evening the camp holds a memorial service for people who didn’t survive the crash, and Locke seemingly content looks over to his wheelchair which he no longer needs.

Jack is woken up by Charlie who is panicking as there is a woman out at sea crying for help. Jack quickly swims out to rescue her, but comes accross Boone out at sea also. Jack thinks its Boone who was shouting for help until Boone asks Jack if he rescued her. When Jack gets Boone back to the Island he swims back in an attempt to rescue the woman, but fails.

Later that day Hurley and Charlie inform Jack that they’re running out of water, then Boone confronts Jack and tells him he could have saved the woman. While Boone is shouting at Jack, Jack sees a vision of a man quite a distance away, and instead of staying to listen to Boones concerns, he quickly runs after it.

When he catches up with the vision he is startled to see that it is his father!

At the beach Claire collapses and when someone attempts to get her some water they realise that someone has stolen the rest of it. Locke, trying not to get everyone in a panic, offers to go into the jungle to look for sources of water.

Jack’s father disappears into the jungle and after his shock Jack follows him. He thinks he sees him and runs after him and ends up falling off the edge of a cliff. Luckily for him he managed to hold onto something, and that John Locke appears at the nick of time to offer a helping hand.

Jack and Locke have a discussion about what Jack is seeing, and Locke tells him that just because what he is seeing is impossible, it doesn’t mean it’s not real. He also tells Jack that he’s looked into the eye of the Island and what he saw was beautiful. After their conversation it is clear that Jack needs to catch up with his father.

On his own now, and in the dark, Jack hears rustling in the trees and follows the sound to an abandoned cave where part of the plane had fallen and landed. He finds the coffin his father was in and opens it to find it empty. Obviously distraught, Jack destroys the coffin.

At the beach, Boone goes up to Claire and offers her some water. It soon becomes apparant that Boone stole the water and is confronted by members of the camp. They soon get into a fight but Boone tries to tell them that he did it for the camp so that they don’t run out - then they’re interupted by Jack who is back from his trek in the jungle.

He gives a speech to the camp and tells them they need to start pulling together and contributing, and that “If we can’t live together, we’re going to die alone.”

Jin angrily runs up to Michael and starts hitting him over and over again. Sun shouts to her husband (presumably “Stop it!”), but it doesn’t work. Sawyer and Sayid rush to the scene to grab Jin off of Micheal. When Sayid questions Michael about what he did, Micheal tells him he didn’t do anything. Sayid uses the handcuffs to handcuff Jin to some of the wreckage.

In the jungle, Jack, Kate, Locke and Charlie have gone to the caves to get some water. Charlie sneaks away to take some of his heroin when he is interupted by Locke, who tells him he’s stood on a bee hive! Jack and Kate get something to cover the bee hive so that Charlie can go free, but when Jack attempts to cover it, Charlie gets aggitated by the bees and moves - cracking open the bee hive. They all run away to get as far from the bees as possible.

When Jack and Kate get back to the caves they notice two skeletons neatly layed near each other. Jack finds two stones - one black, one white - in a pouch near one of them. When Jack tells them that one of them is female, Locke remarks “Our very own Adam and Eve”.

Jack has an idea that everyone should move to the caves as taking water back to the beach everyday will be tiresome. Kate doesn’t seem impressed with the idea.

In the jungle near the beach, Michael is interupted by Sun who says “I need your help”. To his disbelief (and ours!) Sun speaks English! Sun explains that the reason Jin attacked him was because of the watch Michael is wearing. Michael explains that he found it in the jungle.

At the caves, Charlie finds a quiet spot to take some heroin, but is interupted by Locke again. Locke tells him he knows he’s a drug addict and tells him the Island is willing to give him something (his guitar) but he has to give something back (his heroin). Charlie seems confused, but after pursuasion gives Locke his heroin. Locke seems pleased with Charlie and tells him to look up - Charlie does so and sees his guitar case hanging in some roots.

Michael goes up to Jin with an axe in his hand threatening him. Jin obviously couldn’t understand Michael but just looking at him would’ve scared him! Michael uses the axe to cut the handcuffs in half and gives Jin the watch back.

Later that night, Jack has taken a group of campers to stay at the caves, while the rest (along with Kate) stay at the beach.

Charlie is going through the jungle when a boar starts to chase him. He is running away from it as fast as he can until it gets caught in a trap. Locke is there to greet Charlie and says thank you to him, but Charlie tells him he wants his heroin back.

Locke tells Charlie that he will allow him to ask for it three times, and on the third he will give him it back.

At the beach, Sayid has worked out a plan to find the source of the distress signal. He asks Boone to set off a bottle rocket at 5pm and then activate a power cell. He and Kate will go to two other locations on the island and set off their bottle rockets at 5pm also. When all three have been set off they will all activate their power cells.

At the caves Jack and Hurley arrive with luggage from the beach. In an attempt to help, Charlie carries a bag not knowing that it is broken, and it opens and empties its contents. Jack tells Charlie that he and Hurley can manage without him.

Shortly afterwards, Hurley asks Charlie to move his guitar case because Jack said it’s in the way. Charlie is angry about this and rushes off to find Jack to give him a piece of his mind. Charlie finds Jack in a cave and starts raising his voice, but his voice causes the caves to collapse. Charlie makes it out, but Jack is trapped in there.

Hurley tells Charlie to go to the beach for help, and to tell Kate what has happened.

When Charlie arrives at the beach to tell everyone what’s happened Michael and Boone immediately go to help free Jack. Boone gives his bottle rocket task to Shannon. When Charlie shouts for Kate, Sawyer tells him he knows where she is and he’ll go tell her what’s happened.

Charlie wanders off into the jungle to find Locke. Charlie tells Locke what’s happened but has really only gone to Locke to ask for his heroin. Locke tells Charlie a story about the moth - telling him that the moth’s struggle to release itself from its cocoon is natures way of strengthening it.

Sawyer finds Kate and Sayid but Kate gives him a cold hearted response, to which Sawyer decides not to tell her about Jack.

At the caves everyone has mucked in to help, but they need someone to crawl through a hole to reach Jack. Charlie volunteers to do this and is able to crawl through to where Jack is. Jack is fine, but his shoulder is dislocated - Charlie has to help Jack “pop” his shoulder back in.

When Sayid leaves Kate to go to the other position to set off the bottle rocket, Sawyer stays with her and in midst conversation lets slip what has happened to Jack. Kate rushes off leaving Sawyer to set off the bottle rocket.

Kate arrives at the caves and immediately starts to help getting both Jack and Charlie out. Meanwhile, in the cave, Charlie sees a moth and realises there is another way in. He follows the moth and notices some light peaking through. He manages to break through and he and Jack both escape. They arrive back at the caves to a shocked but relieved audience.

At 5pm everyone sets off their bottle rockets, but just as Sayid is about to turn on the transceiver, he is hit over the back of the head leaving him unconscious.

Charlie finds Locke and asks him again for his heroin. As this is the third time Charlie has asked for it, Locke has no choice but to give it to him. However, Locke is proud of Charlie when he throws it into a nearby fire.

Sawyer catches Boone rumaging through “his stuff” and gives him a good beating for it.

At the caves, Sayid is explaining to Jack what happened to him when he tried to start the transceiver, when Boone arrives covered in blood. Boone explains to Jack that Shannon has asthma (and is starting to suffer with it), and that her inhalers were in his luggage along with the book, “Watership Down”. He saw Sawyer reading that book earlier, which means if he has his luggage he’ll have the inhalers.

Jack goes to the beach and starts looking through Sawyers things. Sawyer sees this and the two start shouting at each other. It gets pretty heated until they are interupted by Kate.

Later, Kate speaks with Sawyer alone. She asks Sawyer what he wants for the inhalers, and he tells her he wants a kiss, to which she refuses. Kate then tells him she’s seen him with a letter that he takes out and reads every now and then. This seems to spark some anger in Sawyer, and he makes Kate read the letter to him.

Dear Mr. Sawyer, you don’t know who I am but I know who you are and I know what you done. You had sex with my mother and then you stole my dad’s money all away. So he got angry and he killed my mother and then he killed himself, too. All I know is your name. But one of these days I’m going to find you and I’m going to give you this letter so you’ll remember what you done to me. You killed my parents Mr. Sawyer.

After reading it Sawyer asks Kate “Now how about that kiss?” - but Kate doesn’t respond.

In the caves Sayid is talking to Locke about what happened to him the day before. Locke comes up with the conclusion that it could’ve been Sawyer who knocked him out, and although Sayid explains that Sawyer had an alibi (he set off one of the bottle rockets), Locke pursuades him that Sawyer could’ve used a cigarette to time-delay the rocket.

Sawyer arrives at the caves for some water when Jack asks him about the inhalers. It gets pretty heated again and Jack punches Sawyer in the face… not once, but twice!
