Episode 20

On the island, Boone has been critically injured and has lost a lot of blood. Jack sends Kate to get Sawyer's alcohol and on her way back she finds Kate going into unexpected labor.

Sayid surprises Shannon with a torchlight dinner on another area of the beach and Shannon confesses that Boone is "kind of in love with her".

Boone needs a Type-A blood transfusion, which nobody has, so Jack decides to give him his own, which is the universal O-, even though his body could reject it.

While working on the raft, Jin hears Kate screaming for help and runs to find her. Kate is able to tell Jin to get Jack, but when he gets there Jack is busy with Boone, so he tells Jin (with Sun translating) to take Charlie with him to Kate ant tell her how to deliver the baby.

Sun stops the transfusion because Jack is getting pale and the blood is pooling in Boone's injured leg. Jack is about to amputate it to try to save him, but Boone regains consciousness and tells Jack that it's not worth it.

Boone reveals to Jack that he and Locke discovered a hatch that he wasn't supposed to talk about. His last word are "Tell Shannon I...", but he dies before he can finish.

Claire delivers a healthy boy and when Jack tells Shannon about Boone, she immediately goes to the caves and cries over his dead body. Jack leaves the beach in search of Locke, believing that Boone was murdered by him.

Flashbacks:

Jack agonizes over his vows to Sarah, his fiancee, who he "fixed" after she was injured in a car accident when his father shows up and tells him that his strength is commitment, but he has trouble letting go. Jack eventually writes his vows and marries Sarah.


Why do you think Locke fled the scene?

OK: I think that Locke believed so much that the Island planned for Boone to be killed that he was so frustrated he just lost it and went to the hatch to yell at it.

SH: Even though Locke is so set in his ways of fate and destiny, I still think he felt guilty about Boone's death, and I think that's why he fled.

Do you think that Shannon purposefully left out that she was once in love with Boone as well?

OK: I feel like she should've been honest that they were involved because it's just going to be awkward if he finds out. Although with Boone dead nobody is going to know besides her.

SH: I don't think she was so much in love with Boone as she was in love with the fact that she had him wrapped around her finger and could get anything from him. Regardless, she definitely left this out for a reason. She is so into the new life idea and I think it is easier if she spares a few details.

Why do you think Jack has never mentioned that he has a wife?

OK: I have no idea. I guess I just assumed this whole time that he was always single. I feel like she died before the plane crashed so he's a widower.

SH: Something went wrong with his marriage. Even when there was the wedding flashback, something gave me a sense that it was foreshadowing a rocky relationship history for Jack. I feel like he is suppressing his feelings about it because he probably isn't completely over it.

Was it fate that Locke's legs stopped working right before they got to the plane and started working right it fell, or merely coincidence?

OK: I don't believe in fate realistically, but I feel like because it's Lost there's going to be something that made it fate why he died. There should be a word for the happy medium between fate and coincidence.

SH: Coincifate. Or fateincidence.
