The episode itself is a flashback used to explain what has happened with the other survivors since the plane crash. I think it is interesting to see how some of the pieces fit together. This is going to be awfully choppy, but I'm trying my best to only highlight the important parts. Ana Lucia is introduced as the leader of the group. She starts off similar to Jack because she is saving as many lives as possible and looking out for the group of survivors. Despite her efforts, three of the survivors are taken into the jungle by the others.
Ana Lucia has a bad habit of having no trust in anyone and accuses people left and right, causing some awkward tension quite often. Although she is still trying to keep the group safe, nine more are taken into the jungle but another one of the others is killed in the process, totaling up to three dead by the plane crash survivors. (The first two were killed by Eko.)
She goes back and forth placing the blame on different people. First, she believes that Nathan is to blame, so she keeps him in a prison pit until Bernard attempts to help him escape and Goodwin breaks his neck. Oh, so then she finally realizes that Goodwin is the spy for the others and she kills him with a spear.
There is a little bit of an overlap, first when we hear Boone's transmission from right before the plane he and Locke found fell, killing him, and then when Jin washes ashore and is taken hostage by Ana Lucia and her group. We end as Ana Lucia shoots Shannon while Michael, Jin, and Sawyer are leading her and the rest of her group back to their group of survivors.
Why do you think the others have taken such an interest in the tail survivors as opposed to the head survivors?
SH: I think that the tail survivors were more vulnerable because they were a smaller group to being with, therefore they became the first target of the others.
OK: I think the tail survivors had less people, supplies, and were closer to their headquarters.
What do you think of the others?
SH: I believe the others are very organized and that they are motivated by an strange concept of saving people. They freak me out especially because they are so sly and clever.
OK: I think they were a secret unit of the Dharma initiative that adapted to living on the island, but still has an agenda or goal to achieve.
Thoughts on Shannon's death?
SH: I was only sad because she made Sayid happy. Quite frankly, I did not like Shannon's character in the show because she seem pretentious and snotty half the time and the other half she was too emotional for me to handle.
OK: I didn't like Shannon at first, but I started to like her so I am really sad that she died. I more sad that Sayid is sad because Sayid is the best.
