As the raft is being destroyed, Sawyer emerges from the water and Michael is still yelling for Walt. Sawyer goes over to him and saves him from drowning. They find a piece of the raft and Jin is nowhere to be found. The raft piece is suddenly pounded by a shark and Michael says that Sawyer's gun wound was attracting it. Michael orders him off and he goes on another raft piece.
They argue about whose fault it was that Walt was taken and Sawyer pulls the bullet out of his arm. Sawyer's raft piece breaks apart after a splash fight and rejoins Michael. They see a floating pontoon and Sawyer gives Michael the gun to shoot the shark. Sawyer swims over and Michael shoots the shark. We see a mysterious logo on the tail.
In the moring Michael tells Sawyer that it was his fault for Walt's kidnapping. Sawyer says that Danielle said they were coming for the boy and that the boat came from the island. They get the North end of the island and see Jin as well as other people waking towards them.
In flashbacks, Michael tries to gain custody of Walt after his injury from when he was hit by the car in “Special”. He was asked by Susan to give up his paternal rights so Brian could adopt Walt. Michael resists her taking him first, but he eventually lets him go. In Central Park, Michael parts ways with Walt and Susan by giving him a plush toy polar bear.
At camp, Claire finds Charlie’s Virgin Mary statue from the Beechcraft. He tells her that it might be nice to have around. We also see Jack going to the hatch as in the previous episode. At the hatch we see Locke descend down into it. He gets to the bottom and takes his shoes off and sees this mysterious marking on the wall. Locke finds Kate unconscious in the computer room. Locke turns around and sees a man ask if he is “him”. Locke says he is him and the man asks Locke “What did the snowman say to the other snowman?”. Locke didn't know the answer and he knew that he was lying. He orders Kate to tie up Locke and Locke tells the man that she is a fugitive. Locke ties her up and puts her in a the food storage room and he gives her a knife. She unties herself and turns on the lights. She sees candy bars, eats one and takes a few with her. She then crawls into the airshaft.
The man reveals his name is Desmond and tells Locke to input 4 8 15 16 23 42 every 108 minutes into the computer. They hear Jack coming and Desmond sees Jack's gun. Kate sees Jack but the music is too loud for him to hear her. We again see Locke having a gun pointed at his head.

- Written by: Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

On Day 1, We see the tail section crash into the ocean. The survivors swim to shore and Ana-Lucia Cortez performs CPR on a young girl, Emma, and Mr. Eko later takes Zack and Emma (brother and sister) to Cindy, the flight attendant, to look after while he gets the dead bodies. Libby helps Donald set his broken leg. Goodwin takes Ana to get Bernard down from the trees. They set up camp and Goodwin tells Ana that he was in the Peace Corps. At night 3 people are taken by mysterious people and Eko killed 2 of the people who tried to take him.
The next day the people they killed had no ID on them and they conclude they were here before them. People want to move from the beach and Cindy reveals that they were flight 2 hours in the wrong direction, and know one knows where they are. Donald dies from his infection on Day 5 and Eko continues his silence because he killed those 2 men.
Two weeks after the first attack, the “Others” return and Ana kills one of them during the abductions. She finds a knife and a list of 9 of them in the dead "Others'" pocket. The people taken included Zack, Emma, Nancy, and Eli. The next day, they decide to leave camp and arrive at riverbank. Ana makes a pit for Nathan because she thinks that he is one of them because he was gone for 2 hours, when he claims he was using the bathroom. She later knocks him out and puts him in. Nathan tells Ana that he was on a company retreat and that he was from Canada. Later, Ana tells Goodwin that she will cut his finger off the next day and Goodwin asks her if she had kids, she says no. That night Goodwin lets Nathan out of the pit and snaps his neck. Thinking that Nathan was taken, they decide to go camp at the nearby beach.
Later, the remaining surivivors find a place that had a DHARMA logo with an arrow on it. They find a glass eye, a radio, a blanket and a bible inside a box. To get a signal form the radio, Ana and Goodwin go up higher. While asking about how Goodwin heard Bernard in the jungle, the day of the crash, Ana figures out that Goodwin was the spy and kills him. She also learns from Goodwin that the kids are fine and that Nathan was not on the list because he was not a good person.
Bernard tries the radio again and picks up Boone's transmission. Ana ends it because she thinks that it is the "Others". Bernard says that there might be other surivivors and Ana says that there aren't any other survivors. She then goes to a stream to cry and Eko talks for the first time in 40 days. On Day 45, Libby and Cindy find Jin in the ocean and tie him up. He then escapes and we see a recap of the previous episodes, Orientation to Abandoned, ending with Ana-Lucia shooting Shannon.

- Flashback: Mr. Eko
- Written by: Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof

In conversation, Claire mentions Charlie’s Virgin Mary statue to Eko. Eko becomes upset and demands to see it. He smashes it and reveals the heroin inside. We see a flashback in which guerrillas visit a Nigerian village where a younger Eko lives. They give a gun to Eko’s younger brother and tell him to kill an old man. When he doesn’t, Eko takes the gun and shoots the old man. The guerrillas take Eko with them.
Eko finds Charlie and demands that Charlie take him to where he found the statue. We see a flashback in which Eko has become a Nigerian crime lord. He offers a man money for heroin. The man agrees, but then tells Eko that Eko has no soul. Eko slits the man’s throat. Charlie takes Eko to a tree and claims that he found the statue there. Eko knows that Charlie is lying and asks Charlie to take him to the plane. Meanwhile, Locke teaches Michael to shoot a rifle, and Michael volunteers to take Kate’s shift at the computer. Michael has a short conversation with Walt on the computer before Jack comes and tries to reassure Michael that Walt is safe.
In the next flashback, we see Eko visit his brother, who is a priest. Eko’s brother is selling Virgin Mary statues to buy polio vaccines. Eko wants his brother to make him a priest because only missionaries are allowed to fly, and Eko wants to fly the heroin out of Nigeria. His brother refuses. We see Eko return to the church and tell his brother that he loves him, but that his two accomplices will burn the church if his brother does not make them priests. His brother reluctantly agrees. Eko then buys all of the Virgin Mary statues.
Charlie gets lost, and Eko tells him to climb a tree to get a better view. We then see explosions and “the monster” (the black smoke) appears. Charlie tells Eko to run, but Eko stands and faces the monster. The monster leaves. Charlie and Eko find a dead Nigerian man in a tree. Eko tells Charlie, “This man saved my life”. In the final flashback, we see Eko and his two accomplices boarding a plane. Eko’s brother, followed by military men, comes to stop them. Eko’s brother is shot, and one of Eko’s accomplices is killed. As the plane takes off, Eko’s other accomplice pulls Eko’s brother into the plane and kicks Eko out of it. As he is dressed as a priest, the military mistakes Eko for his brother.
Charlie and Eko find the plane. Eko finds his brother’s corpse inside, and says a prayer. Eko, convinced of Charlie’s good intentions, gives Charlie a statue to replace the one he broke. They burn the plane and recite verses from Psalm 23. Claire, while not completely angry, makes Charlie move out. The episode ends with Charlie uncovering a stash of five Virgin Mary statues and placing the one that Eko gave him inside it.
[edit] The Long Con

Sawyer becomes angry when Jack takes medicine from Sawyer’s tent. Jack and Locke agree to keep all the guns and heroin in the armory and that it will not be opened without their consensus. Sawyer meets Kate, and mentions the army that Jack is building (to Kate’s surprise). In the first flashback, we see Sawyer apparently attempt the con used in Confidence Man on a woman named Cassidy, but Cassidy figures out that it’s a con. She tells Sawyer that she doesn’t have very much money anyway, and asks Sawyer how to con.
Sun, while tending her garden, has a bag forced on to her head. The figure who placed the bag apparently attempts to kidnap Sun before leaving her unconscious. Kate and Sawyer find Sun, and bring her to Jack. After Sun recovers, Sawyer points out nuances about the kidnapping to Kate, and implies that the attempted kidnapping wasn’t committed by The Others. Kate agrees, and suspects that Ana-Lucia attempted the kidnapping. In the next flashback, Sawyer and Cassidy con a few men into buying cheap necklaces.
Kate mentions her suspicions to Jack, who in turn questions Ana-Lucia. Jack and Ana-Lucia agree that The Others were indeed responsible. Kate, worried that Jack and Ana-Lucia will resort to guns, sends Sawyer to warn Locke. In the flashbacks, we see Cassidy tell Sawyer that she wants to do “a long con”. Sawyer tells her that they would need money, and Cassidy reveals that, contrary to her previous statement, she is quite rich. Sawyer meets his partner, Gordy, in a diner and tells Gordy that he “got the money”, but doesn’t want to con Cassidy. Gordy threatens both their lives should Sawyer not continue the con.
Sawyer warns Locke of Jack and Ana-Lucia, and Locke decides to hide the guns while Sawyer presses the button. Jack arrives to find the guns gone. In the final flashback, we see a worried Sawyer point out Gordy’s car to Cassidy and tell Cassidy to take her money and flee the state. Sawyer tells her where he will meet her, and hands her a bag full of money. After she leaves, we see that the money Sawyer gave Cassidy was fake, and that he had kept her money for himself.
Jack questions Locke about the guns. Sawyer then emerges with a gun, and declares himself the “new sheriff in town”, telling the castaways that they were foolish to trust Jack and Locke. Later, when Sawyer returns to his stash of guns, Charlie emerges. We see that Charlie was Sawyer’s accomplice in the con, as he knocked Sun unconscious and followed Locke to the guns. He tells Sawyer that he did it to make Locke “look like a fool” in response to Locke’s actions in Fire + Water.

In flashbacks, we see Ethan injecting her with medicine. He takes her to this room for the baby. It had a crib that played "Catch a Falling Star" and Oceanic Airplanes on the mobile. Mr. Friendly talks to Ethan and tells him that "he" will not be happy that she was here before he made the list. Ethan later takes Claire outside to this log and tells her that she will go back after she delivers. When Claire is asleep a girl wakes her up and tells her that they are going to cut him out and kill her. Claire panics and the girl uses chloroform. Claire wakes up in the jungle and sees Danielle. Danielle knocks her out with her gun so the "Others" will not find her and takes her to her camp.
At the hatch, Henry receives the book (The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky) from Locke. Jack and Locke try to decide what to do with him. Eko is cutting trees and goes to the hatch. He sees a bed in the armory and later asks Jack to speak with him. They later talk and Eko confesses to Henry that he killed 2 "Others" that dragged him the first night.

Locke and Jack question Henry about his comment concerning a trap. Henry becomes defensive, but Jack locks him back in the vault. In a flashback, Locke and Helen eat breakfast at Helen’s house. Helen notices that Anthony Cooper’s obituary appears in the newspaper.
Sayid, Ana-Lucia and Charlie discover a hot-air balloon hanging in a tree above a makeshift grave. Meanwhile, Jack decides to leave the hatch and go to the beach. He encounters Kate, Sawyer and Hurley playing a poker game. He joins and wins. Sawyer, wanting to win back what he lost, asks Jack for a personal game. In a flashback, we see Locke and Helen attend Cooper’s funeral. Locke tells Cooper that he forgives him.
Locke hears a static noise in the hatch. He goes to a speaker and hears a countdown. After the countdown ends, blast doors come down and seal Locke within the room. Locke manages to keep one of them slightly open with a crowbar. Locke enlists Henry to help him. In a flashback, a car appears to be following Locke. He approaches the car and sees Cooper inside. Cooper apologizes to Locke, and tells Locke that he has $700,000 from a “retirement con” in a safe deposit box. He asks Locke to get the money and deliver it to him in exchange for $200,000.
Locke and Henry manage to lift the blast door and place a toolbox under it. Locke attempts to climb under, but the toolbox collapses and crushes his legs, trapping him. The clock starts beeping, and Locke tells Henry that he needs to climb through a vent and enter the numbers. In a flashback, Locke retrieves the money. He then happily approaches Helen, only to find that two men are waiting for him. The two men ask him if he has seen Cooper since his funeral. Locke tells them he has not. The men leave.
Jack and Sawyer continue playing poker. As a bet, Jack asks for all the medicine that Sawyer stole from the hatch. Meanwhile, Henry climbs through the vent. As the alarm sounds, Locke shouts to Henry. He hears the clock reset. A black light suddenly turns on, and Locke sees a map of what appears to be the island. The blast doors open, and Locke is freed. In the final flashback, Locke takes the money to Cooper. He takes his share. Helen knocks at the door, and Cooper opens it. Upon seeing Locke, Helen leaves. Locke follows her and asks her to marry him. She walks away.
Jack wins the poker game. Kate and Jack walk back toward the hatch. On their way, they see a flashing light, and discover what appears to be a large cache of food. They encounter Sayid’s party. Sayid enters the hatch and holds a gun to Henry. He tells Henry that they found the balloon, but that he wasn’t convinced, so he dug up the grave and found the body of a man whose I.D. bears the name Henry Gale.
