Episode 2

Jack, Kate, and Charlie arrive back at the beach with the transceiver. Walt, Michael's son, finds a pair of handcuffs in the jungle and his dad took them away. Later, Sawyer accuses Sayid of being a terrorist who blew up the plane, but Michael and Jack break up the fight. Sayid tries to fix the transceiver, but there is little battery life and they need to get to higher ground in order to even get a signal. Sawyer goes with Sayid, Kate, Charlie, Shannon, and Boone to try and get a signal.

While on the trek, the group is attacked by a polar bear. Sawyer whips out a gun, shoots, and kills it. I know what? Nobody really cares about the fact they were just attacked by a polar bear, but about where Sawyer got the gun. He says he pulled it off a dead U.S. Marshall. Kate takes the gun and dismantles it.

Once they get to high ground and turn on the transceiver, they hear the voice of a french woman on a loop. The message says, "I'm alone now. On the island alone. Please someone come. The others are dead. It killed them. It killed them all!".

The message has been playing on a loop for over sixteen years.



If in the same situation, how should it be decided who gets to use weapons, if weapons are to be used at all?

OK: I would keep all weapons dismantled until it can be voted on within the whole group. Although this may cause debates, a majority rule should be used in decision making because lies would cause more problems than a simple disagreement.

SH: Personally, I am not a big fan of being in any debates regarding weapons, so I think that I would allow someone else to make that decision. I want as little to do with the weapon as possible.


How would you react after hearing the message on the transceiver, knowing it had been playing on a loop for over sixteen years?

OK: I honestly would be rational about it, but realize that the chance of rescue coming was slim to none. On the other hand, the fact that there is something on the island that killed a large group off people and we have no idea what it was would freak me out a lot.

SH: I would lose a whole lot of the hope I had, and I know it would be difficult to carry on. I think I would have to find a personal motivation for survival in order to keep myself going. I would definitely be freaked out though.
