Flashback:
While Helen is looking through the obituaries in the newspaper she notices that Locke's father has passed away. They decide to attend the funeral hoping for some kind of closure, but there is an overwhelming sense of uneasiness because of the men who are lurking around near the funeral. Later, Locke's father pulls up next to Locke, rolls the window down, and explains that he faked his own death to get out of a situation due to his conning lifestyle. He asks Locke to assist him in withdrawing money from his safety deposit box. It is unclear whether he goes through with it or not because when the men from the funeral arrive at his house to question him, it doesn't appear he has the money. But later I guess he did take the money because he is about to give it to his father when Helen catches them and foils the plan.
After the search for Henry's balloon is successful, confusion arises. In the hatch, a strange countdown starts over the intercom and once it reaches zero the doors begin to slam closed, locking Henry and Locke inside. Locke frees Henry in hopes that he will help him. The two successfully pry open one of the doors and Locke decides to try and escape, but fails when he gets his leg caught under the door. Henry helps him. He tries frantically to reach the computer through the vents to enter the code as Locke tells him. When the doors finally open and Henry returns, he insists that he didn't do anything.
Shortly after this, food begins raining from the sky in the jungle nearby. No one knows where it came from, but that sure doesn't stop them from collecting as much as the can carry!
Why do you think Henry helped Locke?
OK: I think Henry wants to turn Locke against the rest of the group, namely Jack. Locke hates thinking he is below anybody so that makes him vulnerable to manipulation.
SH: I think that Henry isn't a bad person, he just comes from a group of people who don't quite have their heads on straight. He also appears to have taken a certain liking to Locke.
Where do you think all the food came from?
OK: I don't know, but what if the dharma initiative people sent it because they are still watching and know Hurley's weakness so they wanted to see how he reacted. Social experiment?
SH: I think it has something to do with the fact that they didn't enter the code in time. Although, I am still really confused about the whole timer thing.
Do you think entering the code really does anything at all?
OK: I think it does something to the magnetic field, but I don't think if they didn't push it that the magnetic field would really do anything.
SH: To be honest, I never really believed that the timer would signal anything, and now I am at the same train of thought as before. I think it is just a social experiment.
