After finding out that monsoon season is beginning, Michael rushes to finish the raft so they can leave. Kate tries to get a spot on the raft, but Michael says that all of the spots have been bought. Michael later has a confrontation with Sawyer leading him to rethink who gets the last spot.
Sayid and Jack meet Locke at the hatch and Jack says that they need to open the hatch, despite Sayid's disagreement.
While working on the raft, Michael suddenly falls ill. Jack discovers remnants of some partially crushed up drugs in one of the water bottles Michael had been drinking from. Michael thinks it is Sawyer, but Jack thinks it is Kate. When Jack confronts Kate about it, she denies having anything to do with it. Meanwhile, Walt tells Locke that he didn't poison his dad out of fear that Locke suspects him after the raft situation. When Locke reaches out and touches his arm to reassure him, Walt becomes frightened and begs him not to open "it". (It being the hatch)
Sawyer passes the ailing Michael and throws him a bottle of antacid (Michael still thinks Sawyer poisoned him). Angry, Michael kicks Sawyer off the raft. In response, Sawyer exposes Kate's criminal history to the group. Sawyer shows them that Kate stole the ID of Joanna, the girl who drowned earlier in the season, who she was planning on changing her identity to once they were rescued.
Later, Jack tells Sun that she knows she meant to poison Jin so he couldn't leave. Jack says he has no reason to tell anybody, but later in conversation, Sun tells Kate that she won't tell anybody that the drugging was her idea.
Walt later confesses to his dad that he burnt the first raft because he wanted to leave. Michael then says that they can stay and don't have to leave, but Walt insists that they do.
Flashbacks:
Kate is seen changing her license plate, dying her hair, and collecting a letter under a false name. She goes to her hometown to visit her dying mother and meets up with her ex boyfriend Tom Brennan. They both decide to dig up a time capsule that they buried when they were seeing each other in 1989. Inside the box is Tom's toy airplane. The next day as Kate says goodbye to her mother, she runs into a cop as she leaves and he recognizes her. She asks Tom for his car keys and they get in the car together. When the police block the hospital exit, she tells Tom to get out, but he refuses. Kate rams through and the cops open fire. She stops a few feet down the road and realizes that Tom had been shot and killed. With police close behind, she has no choice but to run.
Do you think Sun is doing the right think by trying to make amends with Jin, or do you think she needs to move on?
OK: I think it's a little early for giving up. I think poisoning him may be a little extreme, but I do want them to work things out.
SH: Even though Jin isn't my favorite, I realize that it is hard to completely give up on something you were so emotionally invested in at one point. The more I learn about their marriage, the more conflicted I feel. Anyway, to answer the question, I think she should try to work things out.
When Locke touched Walt, Walt could see that he was planning on opening the hatch. Thoughts on the newest hint of his powers?
OK: Again, I feel like Walt's powers are nature oriented, and since Locke has some sort of insight to the island, Walt could sense what he was going to do.
SH: I suppose I didn't realize that it was because Locke touched him that Walt knew about Locke wanting to open the hatch, but that makes much more sense. I think Walt is full of surprises and I can't wait to see how his powers come into play later on.
How do you feel about Kate as a person after finding out she was going to take the identity of the girl who drowned?
OK: I feel like she just doesn't know when to stop. She won't own up to her actions and exploits those around her while trying to keep her name clear.
SH: Really Kate? STAHP. Has she not learned her lesson already? You would think with all the people she has hurt in the past that she may reevaluate her life, but it seems she is only digging herself deeper into the hole.
Do you think Kate had a hidden agenda in telling Sun to poison Jin?
OK: Of course! If Jin was stuck here, she would have a spot on the raft!
SH: Kate cares about Sun, and she knows that Sun and Jin were happy together, regardless of how messed up their relationship was/is, but she definitely is deceptive and I agree that she wanted a spot on the raft for a better chance of continuing her life on the run.
Thoughts on Kate's past?
OK: Is it wrong that I don't really feel bad for her? She put Tom in danger and her actions ended up getting him killed. I still want to know what got her to be in the path of a criminal though.
SH: I can answer this question in a short, but to the point fashion. The more I learn about her, the less I like her.

Episode 21
Flashback:
Through this flashback we follow Sayid through his journey Australia. He is sent by the US government to find information on stolen explosives because a suspect in the case is a friend that he roomed with in college. He meets up with the friend and finds that he is not as involved as the men he is living with, however they are asking to be a suicide bomber. Sayid doesn't want to allow his friend to go through with it, but the officials he is working with on the US government side tell him he must convince his friend to "blow himself up". Sayid tells his friend he will accompany him, and that they will do it together because it is for the greater good (the name of the episode!). He tries to tell his friend at the last second so he can save him, but the friend doesn't take the news well and shoots himself. I was traumatized. By the way, Sayid was getting information on Nadia's location because of his cooperation with the US government officials.
Shannon is grieving over the loss of Boone. She tells Sayid he has to do something about the fact that Locke killed her brother, so Sayid goes to investigate and finds out about the hatch, and the truth of Boone's death. He also finds out that Locke was the one who knocked him out while trying to find where Rousseau's transmission was coming from. A bit later, Shannon has stolen a gun from the case with the intention of killing Locke to avenge Boone's death, but Sayid stops her literally within a fraction of a second.
Also, I really wanted to add that Charlie calls Claire's baby turnip-head. And the song played at Boone's funeral is titled "Booneral".
How do you think Shannon would have changed if she had killed Locke?
OK: I feel she would have been even more emotionally distraught than before. I'm glad Locke didn't die because I'm curious about his story.
SH: I think Shannon would become even more of a wreck than she already is and no one on the island would be able to handle her, especially with Boone gone. I'm glad that she didn't end up killing Locke.
At this point, how do you feel about Shannon and Sayid's relationship?
OK: Sayid is too good for Shannon, but I'm glad Sayid is happy even though I think Shannon is going to hurt him in the end.
SH: I love Sayid to death. He is so considerate, even more so towards Shannon than the others. He always looks out for her and treats her like a princess even when she is not acting respectfully towards him. The only worry I have is that Shannon isn't going to appreciate him and it will end up hurting him.

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.

Episode 19
Locke is the flashback focus of this episode. Finally we get a bit of an explanation, however a bit isn't an understatement at all. While at work, a strange woman approaches Locke and later claims to be his mother. After doing some further research, Locke finds that this woman is actually his mother and he finds information on his father. He finally meets the man that his mother says doesn't exist and the two form a close bond over hunting. One day when Locke arrives to go hunting, he finds his father going through dialysis because his kidneys are failing. Locke decides to give a kidney to his father. Before the operation his father says to him, "See you on the other side." He is lying. When Locke wakes up, the bed next to him is empty. His mother is in the doorway and tells him she set the whole thing up because she needed money and his father would pay her if she got Locke to give him a kidney. My little heart broke.
Meanwhile, Locke and Boone are still trying to open the hatch without luck. Locke has a dream where he sees a plane crash and he sees a bloody Boone repeating the phrase, "Teresa fell up the stairs, Teresa fell down the stairs." Locke asks Boone about it and later on he replies that Teresa was his nanny that fell on the stairs and broke her neck. Not sure how important that is, but oh well. Also, Locke and Boone continue onward to find the plane. Locke's legs aren't working, so Boone climbs into the plane to find what's inside. At first he only thinks it is drugs, until he finds the WORKING radio in the plane. Locke tells him to get out because the plane is at risk of falling, but Boone doesn't listen. The plane falls out of the tree, crushing Boone. Locke is furious and begins pounding on the hatch, yelling, asking what he did wrong, when a light comes on with in the hatch. BUM BUM BUM!
In other news, Sawyer is experiencing terrible headaches and it turns out he is far sighted, so Jack and Sayid help him to get some reading glasses. Also, Jin and Michael begin bonding over raft building.
Thoughts on Locke's past?
OK: I was so sad when his dad turned on him and played him just to get a kidney. Although I'm wondering why if his mother and father screwed him over like that, why he still believes everything his mom said about fate.
SH: I feel terribly for Locke but there is still so much more to know in order to understand him. As of now, I think of him as a person with a heart that is too big for his best interest and I feel awful that he had to go through what he did with his parents. Although, I am glad that we have a little more information on why he is how he is.
Why do you think Locke's legs have stopped working suddenly?
OK: I think that the failure of not being to open the hatch is taking a psychological toll on him and because he is failing at one thing, it causes his legs to begin failing him even though when he believed that he could use his legs, they worked.
SH: I think that like Locke was saying, they all have a test they must overcome, and I believe this is Locke's test. He has to believe he can keep the function of his legs in order to save Boone, and that's what he does.

Episode 18
On the island, Hurley steals some of Rousseau's documents containing a sequence of numbers that he had used earlier to win the lottery. Hurley sets out to find Rousseau by himself. Charlie, Jack, and Sayid catch up with Hurley at a rickety bridge that crosses a chasm. Hurley crosses it safely and when Charlie follows, it breaks just as he makes it across, leaving Jack and Sayid on the other side.
Looking for a way around to get Charlie and Hurley, Jack and Sayid set off one of Rousseau's traps blowing up her shelter. Sayid says that she knew he would be back so she set the trap and left.
After Charlie and Hurley split up from being shot at, Hurley finds Rousseau and he insists to know what the numbers mean. She tells him that her team followed a transmission to this island and in trying to find it, her whole team became "sick" and eventually died. She agrees that the numbers are cursed and Hurley is relieved to find somebody that believes him.
Hurley finds Charlie, Jack, and Sayid and gives them the battery from Rousseau to use on Michael's boat. On the beach, Charlie reveals to Hurley that he had a heroin addiction. Hurley tells him how much money he was worth before the crash and Charlie takes it as a joke and storms off, insulted. The end of the episode shows the sequence of numbers engraved on the hatch that Boone and Locke have been trying to open.
Flashbacks:
Hurley wins the lottery and in the following weeks he gets increasingly bad luck. His grandfather and the priest officiating the service die, his mother breaks his ankle, and so on. He then visits a mental institution where he had apparently resided for some time and talks to a patient, Leonard Sims, who keeps repeating the numbers Hurley used to win the lottery. When Hurley tells Leonard this, he panics and screams that the numbers are bad. As he is being dragged out, he says to go see Sam Toomey in Australia. He goes there and talks to Sam's widow who tells Hurley that Sam and Leonard served in the Navy together when they heard those numbers across a radio transmission. After Sam used the numbers to win $50,000 at a fair, he experienced the same bad luck until he took his own life.
Coincidence or fate that the time Sam heard the numbers coincides with when Rousseau wrecked on the island?
OK: I don't feel like it's fate, but I feel like they are connected because it was the same transmission.
SH: It isn't merely coincidence, but I'm not a huge believer in fate, so I am going to be redundant and say that it is probably connected.
What do you think the numbers on the hatch has to do with what is inside it?
OK: I feel like it's going to be a Pandora's Box type thing and what's inside is going to be very bad or bring bad luck to the person who opens it.
SH: I think it means that it is some sort of sign or connection. It probably has to do with what Hurley believes is "bad luck".
Why at this point do you think Hurley was in a mental institution?
OK: Not sure yet, but I am very curious to find out more about that story line.
SH: Hurley wasn't in a mental institution... Unless you mean when he visited Sam? But he didn't meet Sam there. He met him before Sam was institutionalized.

Episode 17
To fully understand this episode, I think it is important to start with the flashbacks. So, Jin's explained a bit in this episode. He is displayed as a man who will do anything he has to in order to be with Sun. He is head over heels in love with her and knows he must win the approval of her father first. To do this, he has to work for her father, and this brings us back to the previous flashback where he comes home with blood covering his hands and shirt. It turns out that he was actually saving the man's life of whom Sun's father was going to kill. Holy plot twist right.
However, Sun doesn't know any of this, and it has caused their relationship to fall apart strand by strand. When the raft that Michael has been building suddenly catches fire, it appears Jin is the obvious culprit because of the conflict between Michael and Jin. Holy plot twist again though, because Jin isn't the one who lit the raft on fire, it was Walt. The only one who is aware of this is Locke, who ends up diffusing the situation by taking the focus off of blaming someone for what happened. But not before Sun screams at Michael to stop hitting Jin. In English. This causes a HUGE conflict between Sun and Jin and they end up parting.
Some other thigns that happen include a conflict between Boone and Sayid about Shannon. Boone tries to keep Sayid away from Shannon by telling him Shannon will only leave him after she gets what she wants. Shannon realizes Boone has said something to Sayid after he is acting strange. She goes out after Boone but runs into Locke who tells her to take advantage of the new life she has been granted because of the island. She does just that and she and Sayid end up having a thing. I totally ship it.
Do you think Jin and Sun breaking was meant to be?
OK: I really am sad that they didn't work things out because Jin used to be so sweet and caring, but I get that because Sunisanindependentwomanwhoain'tevergonnaneedaman (ha ha sonyurr), they had changed so much that there was no way that with their current personalities they could've been compatible for much longer.
SH: I don't see how it is anything but fate. Sun was trying to get away from Jin, and because she changed her mind, there had to be another way to keep them apart, and that was the plane crashing. Spending every waking minute with each other makes it obvious to both of them that they shouldn't be together. Pretty far-fetched, I know.
What do you think about Walt burning down the raft?
OK: I think that the excuse for not wanting to move around anymore was a bit far fetched, but when he explained that it was mainly that he didn't want to leave the island then I understood where he was coming from. Still a bad idea though.
SH: I think Walt made a decision that he didn't realize would have such an impact. He is just a kid who doesn't want to have to move around anymore. I love Walt by the way.

Episode 16
On the island, a boar raids Sawyer's tent and runs off into the forest with it and some of his things. As he runs to chase it, he hears the forest voices say "It will come back around." The next day, Kate and Sawyer go into the woods to look for the boar and during a drinking version of never have I ever, they reveal that both of them have killed somebody.
The next day they wake up to find that Sawyer's belongings have been destroyed by the boar, but Kate's were untouched. Locke shows up and tells Sawyer a story about how his sister died when he was young and his foster mother blamed herself until a few moths after her funeral, a dog showed up and slept on his sister's bed every night until the day his mother passed away when at that point, it disappeared. The mother believed that the dog was the sister returning to tell her that it wasn't her fault that she died.
Later, Sawyer finds the boar and he points the gun at it, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, he returns the gun to Jack and find's out that a man he met in a bar before the crash was Jack's father.
Flashbacks:
Sawyer has a nightmare about the night that his father killed his mother and himself. You can hear his father beating on the door as his mother tells him to hide under the bed. Then his mother walks out of his room and the dad breaks down the front door and shoots his mom. Then his dad walks into Sawyer's room, sits on the bed, and shoots himself.
In a later flashback, a past associate tells Sawyer where he can find the man that ruined his life and that he is in Australia. Sawyer goes to his shrimp truck with a gun intending to kill him, but can't bring himself to do it. He later goes to a bar where he (unknowingly at the time) runs into Jack's father. Jack's dad reveals that he is to weak to call his son and tell him that he is thankful for what he did for him. Then he tells Sawyer that if he is able to, he should fix the things that are making him feel bad. At this notion, Sawyer goes back and kills Frank Duckett a.k.a. Sawyer. In his dying breath, he whispers to Sawyer that it will come back around.
What do you think "It will all come back around" has to do with Sawyer's story line?
OK: I feel like his life events are one big circle because what ruined his life ended up defining his future and the people and events are all linked to his parent's deaths.
SH: Sawyer is giving what he has got from life, but he doesn't realize that it won't do him any good to continue going through life the way he is now. Instead of learning from his experiences, he has let them ruin him and now he is determined to ruin someone else because of it.
How do you think his sister's death effected Locke's character?
OK: I think that it triggered Locke's system of beliefs up to this point. The beliefs in faith and destiny.
SH: I think Locke has been desensitized to death because of the death of his sister at such a young age. I also think it probably forced him to mature more quickly than if his sister hadn't died.
Were you surprised that Sawyer didn't kill the boar AND gave the gun back to Jack?
OK: I was surprised because Sawyer isn't one to hand precious commodities over to Jack willingly. Plus, I was expecting Sawyer to shoot the boar since he is pretty much based on revenge.
SH: Sawyer is so stubborn I thought Kate was putting effort towards a lost cause trying to keep him from killing the boar, so yes, I was surprised when he didn't kill it. As for giving the gun back to Jack, that certainly is a change in character for the island's pack rat.
Why do you think Sawyer didn't tell Jack about his dad?
OK: I feel like Sawyer doesn't want to talk about how that caused him to go back and kill the man that ruined his life.
SH: Even though Sawyer can appear heartless, I think he knows when there are limits. I feel like he held his tongue in the best interest of Jack, and therefore, for the best interest in everyone on the island, as Jack is a leader and the only doctor.
The next day they wake up to find that Sawyer's belongings have been destroyed by the boar, but Kate's were untouched.
