Season 2: Episode 6

On the far side of the island, Mr. Eko, Jin, and Michael meet up with the rest of the tail survivors and they all leave for the camp of the fuselage survivors. Along the way, Sawyer collapses from infection in his shoulder and the group builds a stretcher to carry him the rest of the way. After traversing a cliff with his body, the notice that one of the people are missing and begin to hear whispering from the trees.

Sayid surprises Shannon with a very prestigious tent for what they have and they end up... well, doing the do. Shannon later sees Walt at the entrance of her tent and is terrified, but Sayid says it was probably just a bad dream. Convinced to find Walt, Shannon leads Vincent into the jungle with Walt's scent and runs into Boone's grave. Stopping to reflect, Sayid finds her and she gets up to continue looking for Walt.

Sayid follows in protest, but Shannon stops and yells at him saying that nobody believes her and that he will just abandon her once she gets off the island. Sayid says he will never abandon her becaus he loves her. They embrace and suddenly hear whispering. They turn to see Walt standing a few feet away. Shannon runs after him and Sayid follows until he trips. A gunshot is heard and Shannon turns around and falls into Sayid's arms, blood pouring from her abdomen. The gun pans to a guilty Ana Lucia holding a smoking gun.

Lost is making my life an emotional roller coaster. I just can't. :(   :(   :(

Flashbacks:

Shannon is seen teaching ballet when she receives a call that her dad has been in a car accident. When she arrives at the hospital, her step-mother is there and they are told that her father is dead. (It's the same car accident that Jack's future wife was involved in.) At the funeral, Boone arrives to console her. Later when she wins a dance internship in New York, she is unable to go because her step-mother Sabrina won't give her any of her fathers money to start her off. Boon tries to help convince his mother, but it doesn't work. Shannon asks if she can stay at his place in NY for a while, but Boon says he is leaving the city to work for his mother. He tries to give her money, but Shannon sees he doesn't believe in her and denies his help.


Do you ship Shayid?

OK: YES YES YES YES! SO MUCH MY HEART CRIES TEARS OF JOY!

SH: ^ You're a dork. I liked them as a developing couple. Sayid brought out the best in Shannon and it was nice to see him happy again. Too bad Shannon died..

What do you think is going on with Walt?

OK: I'm not sure I find that whole situation to be very strange. Maybe he has teleportation powers now. Wait!...teleportation...time travel...connections??

SH: It hurts my head to try to figure out how the heck he is doing what he's doing. Who knows? That kid has all kinds of unexplained powers.

Your reaction to Shannon's death?

OK: My life is ruined. There is no hope left in the world. :(

SH: I didn't like Shannon that much anyway. Sorry, not sorry. I do feel bad for Sayid though.

Do you think Ana Lucia acted to quickly?

OK: I think that people should be much more careful when handling weapons, but considering that the others had caused her to be this paranoid in the first place, I also have to consider the fear that was obstructing her decision making and thought process.

SH: I think Ana Lucia probably could have assessed the situation more thoroughly before shooting Shannon, but in the situation she was in, she thought she was making the right decision and defending her group. I'm sure most people would have reacted the same way she did and I don't think she can be blamed for Shannon's death because it truly was an accident.

What do you think about Shannon after finding out what caused her to loose confidence in herself?

OK: I feel bad for Shannon. I know what it is like to feel like everybody you care about is disappointed in you, so I can put myself in her position. I used to not like Shannon, but she grew on me.

SH: I still don't like her that much. "Your past is an explanation, not an excuse."
