On the island, Claire sees Eko carving scripture into a walking stick and mentions to him that Charlie carries around a Virgin Mary statue all to time. Eko demands to see it and breaks it open showing Claire the heroin inside. Eko demands that Charlie take him to the plane.
Meanwhile, Locke teaches Michael how to shoot a gun and Michael asks Kate to have her shift at the computer (obviously to talk to Walt).
On the way to the plane, Eko and Charlie find a corpse and Eko says that this man saved his life. Charlie gets lost and Eko tells him to climb a tree and get his bearings. While he is in the tree, explosions and black smoke come from the jungle. The smoke heads right towards Eko and confronts him with images of his past. Eko stands his ground until the smoke retreats back into the jungle. Once they find the plane, Eko finds the corpse of his brother Yemi who was a priest and takes the cross necklace off him so he can wear it. When Charlie asks him if he is a priest, Eko says yes and they both recite Psalm 23 from the old testament while they burn the plane and its contents.
When they return to the island, Charlie apologizes to Claire for the heroin but she tells him to stay away from her and her son. Charlie is then seen heading into the forest where he has a stash of virgin Mary's.
Flashbacks:
Nigerian warlords arrive at a small village and try to get a young boy named Yemi to shoot an old man. He hesitates and his older brother Eko takes the gun and shoots the man himself. The warlords are pleased by this and force him to join their group.
Years later, Eko is a powerful warlord. Eko visits the church in his hometown where Yemi has become a priest. Eko asks him for a plane because only missionary aircraft are allowed to leave Nigeria. He wants Yemi to sign ordination papers that would make him and two associates priests so they could fly heroin out of the country. Yemi eventually signs after Eko says that his people will burn the church to the ground if he does not comply. The heroin is hidden in dozens of Virgin Mary statues.
Dressed as priests, Eko and two others are loading the plane when Yemi shows up and tells them not to go. The Nigerian military arrives and shoots a henchmen along with Yemi. Eko puts his brother on the plane, but the pilot stops Eko from getting on. When the military approach, they mistake him for a priest and he goes along with it.
Do you think it was coincidence that Eko's brother's plane crashed on the island?
OK: Nothing about this show is ever coincidence.
SH: Nothing is ever a coincidence, but I don't think the show is going to do a good job incorporating that back in at the end because it appears they add things in just for fun.. *WALT*
What do you think about Eko's past?
OK: I really like his story line. I think it is something very new to the stories of the fuselage survivors. I feel like his story is one of the most in depth and thought out so far.
SH: I think there is a lot left to know about him, but his back story is the most detailed besides Sayid's I think.
Do you think his life would've been different had he not taken the gun?
OK: Of course. Either his brother would've pulled the trigger and they would have taken him, or neither would have shot and I think the gang would have killed them all.
SH: Yes, he would have never got mixed up in the crowd that he did. His life would be completely different.
Do you think finding his brother allowed him closure and forgiveness? Is this why he said he was a priest?
OK: I think Eko refused to move on and finding his brother did allow him the ability to do so. It gave him peace of mind and allowed him to forgive himself.
SH: I think that finding his brother made him face his past and therefore he did get closure. I'm not sure about the whole priest thing though, it confused me.

Season 2: Episode 9
So we finally find out why Kate is on the run in the first place! She kills her father, who she thought was her step father for a majority of her life. When she finds out he is her biological father she kills him because she can't stand knowing a part of her is from him. Anyhow, as she is being taken into custody for murder a black horse causes the car she's in to crash, allowing her to escape. This is the same black horse she sees in the jungle! So, basically throughout this episode she is trying to sort out feelings about her life and is going a little bit crazy. She expresses her feelings that Sawyer reminds her of Wayne, her father/step father, and that's why she is afraid to have feelings for him. This is also why she imagines Sawyer being taken over by Wayne's ghost.
In other news, Shannon's funeral is held and Sayid is still broken up about her death. It's quite sad. Locke shows Michael and Eko the video from the DHARMA initiative and Eko admits that he knows more. He eventually shows Locke a book he found that contains frames of the video that have been cut out. They insert the frames in the proper spot and re-watch the video to find out that the part about not using the computer to communicate with the outside world is emphasized and a previous incident is foreshadowed. Of course something is going to happen because while on his shift Michael receives a message on the computer and the episode ends as he finds out it is Walt trying to communicate with him.
What do you think about Mr. Eko talking about the difference between coincidence and fate?
SH: He reminds me so much of Locke when he brought that point up. Also the way he handles the island's security system creature beast black smoke thing reminds me of Locke. It is too easy to draw parallels between the two for me.
OK: I agree they are incredibly similar. I think Eko has the same faith that Locke does which is why they react similarly to the island.
Comments about Kate killing her father / former step-father?
SH: Her reasoning didn't make sense to me. She was explaining to her father (the one she thought was her biological father) that she was upset that she wasn't told who her real father was. Then when she was talking to Sawyer she said she killed her real father because she knew that since he was a part of her that she could never get rid of the evil part of her given to her from him. It doesn't make sense to me because she just did something that would make her evil side take over.
OK: I think it was because he was beating her mother. She wanted to get her mother out of that situation, but as for who she thought was her biological father that part confused me too.
Do you think Kate would be different had she not found out the truth about her father? (Nature vs. Nurture)
SH: I think she would have based on her reasoning. She says that she will always have an evil side because of her true father. I think maybe she wouldn't have killed her father, but she would have gone down a bad path. The way she acts on the island is my evidence because she doesn't have anyone to run from on the island but she still acts as a pathological liar.
OK: I think she still would've killed her father because of what he was doing to her mom. I feel like Kate felt the need to get rid of that situation whether she had known he was her biological father or not. Plus I agree that on the island she is still very manipulative and a compulsive liar.

Season 2: Episode 8
Realizing that Ana Lucia shot Shannon, Sayid pulls his gun on her, but Eko knocks him down. While they struggle, Ana Lucia knocks him out and ties him to a tree. Meanwhile, Eko walks Sawyer to the other camp for medical help. Ana Lucia Michael must go to his camp and return with a pack that has medicine, food, water, and clothing because she plans on surviving in the jungle on her own.
At the hatch, Kate and Jack take care of Sawyer and get him to take antibiotics. When Jack and Locke learn what happened to Shannon and Sayid, they demand that Eko take them to their location, but Eko refuses saying that Ana Lucia made a mistake. Jack recognizes her name from before the flight and Michael returns with her demands. Eko agrees to take Jack only, as long as he brings no guns.
After the rest of the tail survivors follow Jin to the other camp, Ana Lucia and Sayid are left alone. She begins to interrogate him and eventually relays the story of how she was shot while she was a cop. Only she tells Sayid that they never found the man who shot her. Ana Lucia cuts him loose and hands him the gun, telling him to take his revenge. He refuses, saying what good would it be to kill her if they are both already dead?
The episode ends with everybody from the tail end reuniting with the main group, including Jack and Ana Lucia.
Flashbacks:
Ana Lucia is an officer of the LAPD who was shot by a burglary suspect. After recovering, she has trouble dealing with the stress of being back on the street. When she learns that the person who shot her is in custody, she looks at him and says that it's not him; he is released. She then follows him that night and confronts him in an empty parking lot. She says his name and he asks if he knows her. She says "I was pregnant", and shoots him multiple times.
What do you think about Sayid not taking the chance to kill Ana Lucia?
OK: I think it shows that Sayid is truly a good guy who has been hurt beyond relief. Even then, he takes the high road.
SH: I think it shows that he understand that Ana Lucia made a mistake, and that even though he wouldn't admit it, he forgives her.
What do you think will happen with Jack and Ana Lucia?
OK: I feel like there is going to be some conflict, but also a possible relationship??
SH: If they end up in some kind of love rhombus... (Because Sawyer and Kate and Jack and Ana Lucia)... I swear I am done with this show.
Were you surprised Ana Lucia was a police officer?
OK: Nope. I originally thought that she was a soldier so when I found out she was a cop I wasn't surprised. I'm very good at noticing that type of personality in a person.
SH: I can't say that I guessed it, but with the foreshadowing provided it wasn't a shock to me.
Your reaction to Ana Lucia's past situation?
OK: I am beyond conflicted about Ana Lucia. I want to like her, but she killed Shannon. Her past makes me really sad and I don't really like to think about it. I just need to see a little more.
SH: I don't like her. (I'm beginning to realize that I am a person who is full of hate.) The show gives us explanations for her behavior but not reasons for her behavior to be excused. Man, am I a broken record or what?

Season 2: Episode 7
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.

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."
Season 2: Episode 5
Flashback: We get a bit of insight about Jin and Sun before they met and how their lifestyles differed. We also get to see how they ended up meeting after Sun found out she was being used. But, Jin and Sun are cute, so it equals out.
On the island there is more involving Jin and Sun; Sun lost her wedding ring. She is distressed throughout the episode until she ends up finding it. But, before she does, many of the survivors offer her help. Because of this we learn about Jack's failed marriage and a little about Sun's dog because of a conversation she had with Hurley. Locke ends up giving her the best advice; he says the way to find something is to stop looking for it. She finally finds it while talking to Kate about the bottle of messages that she buried to keep people from reading the messages. (Doesn't do much because Kate reads most of them looking for Sawyer's.)
On the other side of the island, Jin, Michael, and Sawyer are becoming a part of the other survivors' lives. Things between the two sides remain peaceful until they find out that Michael has run off on a search for Walt. In the end, a group goes out looking for Michael. Sawyer has trouble keeping up with the rest of the group because of the bullet wound in his shoulder. After they find him he decides to give up the chase.
How does Ana Lucia's leadership differ from Jack's?
SH: Ana Lucia is much more forceful and often times stubborn. She seems like she has adopted the "my way or the highway" system of doing things. Jack is considerate of others feelings and needs. He also takes action he believes will benefit the group as a whole, not himself individually.
OK: Jack is caring and doctorly in his decisions where as Ana Lucia is by the book, follow a plan, strategic leading.
What observations have you made about people in the group of other survivors?
SH: Mr. Eko appears to be distant from the group. I like him because he is different and that interests me. He is much more trusting than the rest of the group and he is a genuinely kind soul.
OK: I think Eko is the Locke of the tail, but less set on a fateful agenda. I am still conflicted on Ana Lucia.
Do you think it was okay for Kate to read the messages?
SH: Even though Kate reading the messages caused Sun to find her ring, I still don't think it makes up for the fact that Kate read the messages. Like Sun said, the messages are private; Kate shouldn't be allowed to read them just because she has a stupid crush on Sawyer.
OK: I just don't like Kate. She is so entitled. Plus, Sawyer is stupid anyway.
Season 2: Episode 4
In the hatch, Hurley struggles with the task of food rationing. Charlie asks if the bunker has peanut butter for Claire, but Hurley refuses to answer. Hurley asks Rose to help him take inventory. At one point, Hurley has a dream that Jin tells him in English that "everything is going to change".
Hurley becomes uncertain with his ability to ration the food in a way that will make everybody happy. He tries to quit, but Locke wont let him, telling him that everybody has their job and this is his. Hurley then tries to blow up the food with dynamite, but Rose stops him. He then decides to give everything away because rations wont amount to much. All the food is distributed at once and the survivors have a huge feast.
Sawyer, Michael, and Jin learn that their captors are survivors from the tail section of their plane. They are taken to a Dharma initiative station where the other survivors take shelter. One woman tells them that there were 23 survivors, but very few remain.
Meanwhile, the messages in a bottle that went on the raft wash ashore. Claire and Shannon give the bottle to Sun and she decides to bury the bottle on the beach.
In the hatch, Jack and Sayid inspect a concrete barricade blocking what appears to be a coridor to another side of the bunker.
Flashbacks:
Hurley keps his lottery win a secret and quits his job at a fast food restaurant along with his friend Johnny. They spend their day pulling a prank on their former boss and visiting a record store where Hurley asks out his crush.
Later, Hurley ask Johnny to promise that they will never change and he agrees. Johnny then pulls into a gas station and notices a news crew when the clerk loudly points at Hurley ad says he is the man who bought the winning ticket. Despite his promise, Johnny's expression shows that everything has changed.
Do you agree with Hurley's final decision of how to handle the food?
OK: I think Hurley ended up making the best decision and it was nice to see the survivors joyful for once.
SH: I think Hurley thought about how people would respond realistically and made a decision based on that knowledge. In the end, he did what would cause the least amount of people to be upset.
What do you think about the tail survivors so far?
OK: I think there is so much more we need to learn about their first days on the island. They seem to be afraid of something that they aren't talking about.
SH: I think they are awfully sketchy for lack of a better term. I understand that they have gone through some traumatizing events, but they have transformed into near savages.
Where do you think the blocked corridor leads?
OK: I think it leads to where the tail survivors are sheltered at now.
SH: To be honest, I don't recall noticing the blocked corridor, but it probably leads to something the Dharma initiative people wanted to keep hidden from the participants.
What do you think about Hurly's history with Johnny?
OK: I liked their genuine friendship, but I am sad because it does look like Johnny is going to not want to be friends with Hurley anymore.
SH: I think Hurley did all he could to keep their friendship together but Johnny wasn't able to understand why Hurley acted the way he did, ruining the friendship and breaking my heart.
