Lost TV Show (the best show on TV)… ABC Lost recaps: Season 1 x 14 (s01e14). Michael scans the jungle, looking for Walt. He runs into Hurley and Jack, who haven’t seen him. Michael sighs, frustrated, but continues on. Hurley says that Michael seems to hate being a father. But in the FLASHBACK, Michael is clearly thrilled about becoming a father and wants the best for his soon to be born son. As he and his girlfriend Susan shop for cribs, Michael tells Susan that he plans on doing some construction for extra money while she finishes law school. Susan is concerned about Michael giving up his art, but Michael insists that he can go back to that later. Right now, they have to prepare for baby “Walt” named for Michael’s father. Susan agrees, but wants to give Walt her last name they aren’t married yet, after all. And off their playful banter we …

…return to the jungle, where Locke teaches Walt how to throw a knife as Boone looks on. Walt misses the tree several times, but Locke encourages him and tells him to picture success in his minds eye. Walt throws the knife a final time and hits his mark, amazing Boone and impressing Locke. Michael comes upon this scene and sends Walt back to camp, furious with Locke about letting his boy play with knives. The discussion gets heated when Boone suddenly lunges at Michael to protect Locke. They wrestle on the ground until Locke breaks them up. Locke explains that Walt is a special child who should be treated like an adult and allowed to realize his full potential. Michael orders Locke to stay away from his son.

We FLASHBACK to baby Walt, as Michael and Susan argue over him. Susan tells Michael about a huge job opportunity in Amsterdam and that she plans on taking Walt with her she and Michael need some time apart. When Michael refuses to let Walt go with her, Susan calls his bluff she can provide better for Walt and a court would certainly side with the child’s mother. Michael looks down at his son, heartbroken.

On the island, Sun approaches Michael as he sits by a camp fire, watching Walt sleep. Michael admits that while he doesn’t really know how to be a father, he knows it wouldn’t be a good thing for his son to grow up on the island. Determined, he heads out to talk to Jack and Sayid about building a raft. When Jack and Sayid scoff at the idea, Michael takes the project as his own. He finds Walt reading through a familiar comic book the one with the polar bear from the first episode and enlists his help.

We FLASHBACK to Michael, at a pay phone, begging to speak with Walt. He can hear a man’s voice in the background and learns that Susan has been seeing her boss, Brian. Michael threatens to come to Amsterdam to get his son. He slams down the phone down and charges across the street when he’s suddenly mowed down by a passing car.

Back on the island, Charlie searches through Claire’s things, looking for clues and some sort of comfort and finds that her diary is missing. Kate leads Charlie to Sawyer, sure that’s where they’ll find it. But Sawyer doesn’t give anything up without a fight and teases Charlie about the diary, knowing he’s curious as to what Claire wrote about him. Charlie finally slugs him, grabs the diary and storms off. Only then does Sawyer admit to Kate that he hadn’t gotten around to actually reading it.

Walt and Michael continue to scavenge for materials to build the raft metal, tubes, cushions, plastic and tarp. When Walt spots Locke and Boone heading back toward the caves, he tells Michael he’s going to get some water so that he can secretly follow them. As Locke and Boone return to camp, Shannon intercepts her brother, questioning why he and Locke haven’t scored any boar on their hunts. She suggests Boone’s time would be better spent if he came with her to help Michael on the raft. But the dynamic between them has clearly shifted and Boone flatly refuses the invitation. Meanwhile, Locke tells Walt to respect his father’s wishes and not come around anymore. Michael drops in on them, incredulous at seeing Locke with his son again. Locke explains that he told Walt he wouldn’t be spending any more time with him and offers Michael a mechanical pencil as a peace offering. Michael won’t accept it and tells Locke that if he catches him with his son again, he’ll kill him. Walt calls his father a jerk for sending Locke away and for not being around when he was growing up “You only showed up when mom died. You’re not my father.” And though we can see this stings, Michael tells Walt that he’s going to have to learn to listen to him. He orders Walt to stay put and tosses his comic book into the fire.

We FLASHBACK to a hospital room, where we find Michael, in a wheelchair, post accident, working on a detailed drawing. He tells the nurse that he’s making a card for his sons 2nd birthday. Susan shows up, concerned that she hasn’t heard from him in two months. Michael is disappointed that she didn’t bring Walt, but happy to see her nonetheless. When Susan offers to pay all of Michael’s medical costs, he intuits that she has something up her sleeve. Susan reveals that she and Brian plan to move to Italy and that Brian wants to adopt Walt. She tells Michael to consider what’s really best for Walt over his feelings.

Back on the island, Hurley tells Michael that Walt and the dog took off. Michael heads straight for Locke, who insists that he doesn’t know where Walt is. Off Michael’s concerned look, Locke volunteers to help find him. In the jungle, Walt and Vincent are startled by a noise. Vincent breaks free from his leash and Walt gives chase.

We FLASHBACK to Walt, staring at Vincent as Susan and Brian discuss their day’s work. When Walt interrupts them, Susan tells him to do his homework. But Walt says that he needs help with his report on birds of Australia. Susan suddenly feels sick, drawing focus away from Walt. And as Walt continues to call out for attention, as kids often do, a bird crashes into the sliding glass door that leads into their living room. Brian looks down at Walt, a little freaked over this odd occurrence.

Back in the jungle, Walt searches for Vincent, when he’s startled by another noise. We FLASHBACK to Michael’s apartment this time. He opens his front door to find Brian at his doorstep with bad news Susan is dead. Brian confesses that he doesn’t want to be a father he adopted Walt because Susan wanted it. He offers Michael plane tickets and money. And though Michael would like nothing more, he puts Walt’s best interests first and says that Walt needs Brian now he is the only father Walt really knows. But Brian claims that he can’t take care of Walt and hints that there is something “different” about the boy.

On the island, Michael and Locke come across Vincent’s leash and hear Walt cry for help. We FLASHBACK to Australia, where Michael has come for Walt. A nanny tells him that Walt will be home shortly and gives him a box filled with unopened cards and letters everything Michael has sent his son over the last eight years.

In the jungle, Walt finds himself trapped inside the vines of a Banyan tree with a giant polar bear lurking outside. We FLASHBACK a final time to the same house in Australia. Walt returns from school and finds Michael in his living room. But the two are complete strangers Walt doesn’t even recognize his own father until Michael ID’s himself as such. Michael tells Walt he’s going to take care of him now and tries to comfort him by using the dog. But Walt informs Michael that Vincent is Brian’s dog. Michael tells Walt that Brian said he could have Vincent.

Still in danger, Walt calls for his Dad. Michael and Locke come upon the Banyan tree and walk a tightrope of vines to reach Walt. Seeing that the polar bear is on attack, Locke throws Michael a knife, which Michael drops down to Walt. Walt uses the knife to fend off the polar bear, allowing Michael to make his way down to Walt. Michael wraps some vines around his son’s waist and Locke pulls Walt to safety. The bear returns and paws at Michael, who finally plunges the knife into the bear’s neck, injuring it and driving it away. Walt worries about Vincent, but Locke reminds him that the dog returned once and assures him that it will return again. Michael gives Locke an appreciative smile.

Later, at a campfire, Michael is finally able to share his cards and letters with Walt who is surprised to learn that his father wrote him and confused that his mother never gave them to him. Michael tells Walt that she saved them because she must have wanted him to have them someday and that someday is now. Meanwhile, Charlie finally gives in and reads Claire’s diary. He finds some entries pertaining to him and reads that he made Claire feel safe. He also finds some entries pertaining to a dream about a ‘black rock.’ Charlie takes this information to Sayid, who confirms the mention of a ‘black rock’ in the French woman’s paper. They speculate that this may be where they will find Claire but not in the middle of the night. And out in the jungle, Locke and Boone search for Vincent when they see something rustling through the leaves. Concerned that it may not be the dog, Locke pulls his knife but it’s Claire who emerges from the bushes, dazed and confused, but still alive

“Special” Season 1, Episode 114 is a post from: Lost TV Show

We FLASHBACK to Jack in the OR, attempting to resuscitate a female patient. The Chief of Surgery enters and orders him to call the time of death. But Jack is determined and won’t stop CPR. Everyone in the room can feel the tension between them until finally, the Chief steps up and calls it himself.

Back at camp, Locke gathers his gear with the intention of catching up with Jack. Kate and Boone volunteer to go along with him. But when Michael tries to volunteer, Locke tells him that another person would only slow them down. Feeling rejected, Michael threatens to put together his own search party.

Out in the jungle, with little to go on, Jack’s search is proving futile. We FLASHBACK to the OR again, as he looks over the dead patient’s body. The Chief berates Jack for taking over his surgery. Jack says that he stepped in because one of the nurses told him the Chief’s hands were shaking and that he cut into the patient’s artery. And we begin to realize just how personal this argument really is when Jack asks, “How many drinks did you have at lunch, Dad?” As their eyes lock, we recognize Jack’s dad, Christian.

Back on the island, Locke, Kate and Boone catch up with Jack and realize he’s been going in circles. Locke insists that he return to camp and look over Sayid, “You be the doctor, I’ll be the hunter.” But Jack refuses and follows after them.

At camp, Michael fills up water bottles, all the while complaining to Hurley that Locke treats him like a second class citizen. Walt defends Locke and advises his father to listen to him. Michael doesn’t take this too well and in a competitive action, resolves to head south in search of Charlie and Claire.

Meanwhile, the northern search continues, but they’re having trouble finding any leads. Locke wants to rest, but Jack insists they push on. Kate follows Jack in an attempt to find out what’s driving him so hard. Jack reveals that he feels guilty about not believing Claire when she said that someone was trying to take her baby. Locke calls after them because he’s found a piece of tape from Charlie’s fingers. It seems that Charlie left them a trail. They follow it hopefully, until Locke picks up the footprints again. Locke wants to follow them, while Jack insists they continue on Charlie’s trail. Kate points out that the footprints could be a trap. Since she seems to know an awful lot about tracking herself, they split in two Kate with Jack follow Charlie’s trail, while Locke with Boone continue to follow the footprints.

Back at the caves, Walt and Hurley play backgammon. The more Walt continues to win, the more his ability to, “make things happen” becomes apparent. Hurley leaves in utter defeat and frustration. Bored, Walt wanders down to the beach and spreads the news about Charlie and Claire. He runs into Sawyer and suggests that maybe they aren’t the only people on the island. While Sawyer brushes him off, he can’t help but be disturbed at the thought.

Out on the search, Locke & Boone get to know one another. Boone is surprised to learn of Locke’s meager existence in the real world John Locke was a Regional Collections Supervisor for a box company. Meanwhile, Jack attempts to get to know Kate a little better, asking her to give him something honest for once and tell him where she picked up her tracking skills. Kate tells Jack that her father was in the army and that he taught her about tracking when they would go hiking together. And off that revelation about Kate’s father, we go to

a FLASHBACK with Jack’s father, who encourages his son to sign off on the death report, which conveniently leaves out the part about his father’s mistakes. Jack refuses to sign, insisting that his father was impaired, which is what ultimately led to the woman’s death. Jack’s father reminds him that he is on the hook too Jack is the surgeon on record when the woman died. He begs his son not to contradict the report or mention anything about the involvement of alcohol it would cost him his license. He further appeals to his son’s emotions, telling him just what he wants to hear: He’s been hard on him to make him the best surgeon in the city. Jack’s father promises that it will never happen again and Jack signs the papers.

Back on the island, Sawyer goes to the caves to talk to Sayid. The hostility between them is still palpable and while we think Sawyer may have come for payback, we soon learn he’s there to have some questions answered what did Sayid find while he was away? Sayid shares information of the French woman and her team, but points out that what she said may or may not be true. Sawyer pushes for more information, but Sayid admits that he doesn’t have the answers.

Out in the jungle, Locke & Boone are hot on the trail. Locke senses that it’s going to rain and warns Boone against impending danger ahead. He tries to convince him to go back to camp. But Boone refuses and follows Locke deeper into the jungle as it begins to pour. Meanwhile, Jack and Kate hear the roar of the monster as we

FLASHBACK to the hospital, where Jack sees his father conversing with the deceased woman’s husband in the hallway. A nurse tells Jack that the man has threatened to sue. Jack watches his father work his persuasive magic and console the husband.

In real time, Jack and Kate run and are separated. Jack slips and slides down a bank into a puddle of mud. He looks up to see Ethan standing over him. Ethan orders Jack to stop following him. But when Jack asks who he is and where Charlie and Claire are, Ethan delivers a healthy punch to Jack’s face, knocking him back down. He tells Jack once again to stop following him or he’ll kill one of his people. Jack attempts to fight him off, but Ethan is too strong and gains the upper hand, telling Jack this is his last warning and knocking him out. Kate finds Jack and suggests that Ethan may have been a hallucination he fell pretty hard and banged his head. But Jack is sure Ethan was there and is now more determined than ever to find Charlie and Claire.

We FLASHBACK to a medical review board, where Jack’s father details what happened during the fateful surgery. Jack can barely stomach listening to his father’s lies. When he learns that the patient in question was pregnant, he can no longer hold his tongue and speaks out against his father, revising his statement to include the fact that his father was operating under the influence and severed the patient’s artery. Jack’s father stares at his son, shocked by this act of betrayal.

Back in the jungle, Jack and Kate come across Charlie, strung up by his neck, hanging from a tree limb. Kate struggles to climb the tree and cut him down as Jack holds him up. She finally succeeds and Jack works to resuscitate him. It becomes increasingly clear that Charlie is gone and Kate has to pull Jack away but Jack won’t give up, and after beating on Charlie’s chest, he gets him to breathe again.

Back at camp, Michael returns without success, disappointing Walt; Kate tells Shannon her brother is safe with Locke; and Jack tries to get Charlie to talk about what happened but Charlie is experiencing a sort of shellshock and can only convey that all Ethan wanted was Claire.

Out in the jungle, Boone is ready to turn back, the bravado replaced by fear. But his mind changes when he and Locke make an extraordinary discovery something metal embedded in the ground and it’s not a piece of the wreckage. Excited, Locke vows to find out exactly what it is.

Season 1, Episode 111 – All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues is a post from: Lost TV Show

On our beach, Kate tells Jack she’s worried about Sayid — it’s been two days since he left. Jack tells her that Sayid is a trained soldier and can take care of himself.

Back in the jungle, Sayid continues to follow the cable until he sees something that causes him to stop in his tracks. There, hidden in the thick undergrowth of the jungle is a tripwire. Sayid carefully steps over the booby trap only to find that the wire was designed to get him to do exactly that. He’s snatched into the air and slammed into a tree, impaling his leg on a branch. He continues to hang in the trap for a long time, quietly praying when he hears something coming. Caught between fear and hope, he calls out for help. The rope that’s holding him is cut with one swipe of a machete and Sayid comes crashing to the ground. He’s able to see the faint outline of someone coming towards him before he passes out.

At the caves, Jack is tending to the various ailments of the survivors. Hurley comments that everyone appears severely strung out. Jack tells Hurley at least they’re surviving and they should be happy about that. Jack: “Things could be worse.” Hurley: “How?”

As Sayid slowly regains consciousness, he hears a woman’s voice ask, “Where is Alex?” When Sayid doesn’t answer, the shadowy figure that belongs to the voice flips a switch and electricity surges through the wire bed frame that Sayid is tied to. His body jerks in response to the pain. Sayid begs her to stop and tries to tell her he doesn’t know who Alex is, but the switch is flipped again and the light bulbs dim as the voltage is channeled to more painful use.

We FLASHBACK to an interrogation room where a younger, uniformed Sayid works over a prisoner tied to a chair. He beats him savagely until his victim relents. Sayid’s superior, “Omar” is impressed enough to promote him and as they playfully tease each other outside the torture rooms, a female prisoner is led across their path. She and Sayid seem to share a flash of recognition, but before they can act on it, she is led away.

Night has fallen at the caves and Hurley is roused from his sleep when Locke returns to camp with some additional luggage he and another survivor found while out tracking game. As they leave it to Hurley to process for useful items, Walt wakes up and asks Locke if he can go hunting with him. Before Locke can answer, Michael wakes up and answers for him. No chance.

We rejoin Sayid in the island in midst of another jolt of electricity. He pleads with his captor, claiming he doesn’t know who Alex is! He survived a plane crash and heard a distress call that a French woman left — one that has been playing for sixteen years. When his captor repeats the distress call, we realize that Sayid is being held by the FRENCH WOMAN herself! As she comes into frame and reveals her wild eyes, she tells Sayid that she knows who he really is and knocks him out again.

When he comes to once more, Sayid sees the French Woman rummaging through his pack. He takes a moment to look around her habitat and notices a name stenciled on the back of a jacket. He says it aloud, “Rousseau.” But hearing her name only makes her more suspicious and she wants to know more about Sayid. She finds the photos in his backpack and asks him who the woman is. And that question is answered when we FLASHBACK to the prison where we saw Sayid earlier. He has been given a new prisoner to interrogate, but when he steps inside to begin his questions, he discovers this is no ordinary prisoner — it’s the woman who crossed his path in the previous flashback. She calls Sayid by his given name and we learn that they grew up together, when he knew her as “Nadia.” She wonders how the boy she liked so much as a child could willingly serve the regime of Saddam Hussein. She shows him the scars that mark the other interrogations she has suffered through and says she will tell him nothing. Sayid: “Then I’m going to hurt you.” Nadia: “I know.”

Back in real time, the French Woman wants to know if the woman in the photo is on the island. Sayid tells her that she is dead because of him. This admission seems to form a connection with the French Woman who tells Sayid her name is “Danielle” and shares that she knows what it is like to lose a love. Sayid asks if she means “Alex”, but she says it was Robert, a fellow scientist stranded with Danielle when their research vessel sank off the island years ago.

Meanwhile, at the caves, Michael is in the middle of showing Jack his design for an ingenious shower system when Charlie summons them to a grassy hill over the ocean where they are met with something totally unexpected — even for this island. A golf bag was found in the wreckage and Hurley has been busy constructing a primitive 2 hole golf course to raise spirits.

Back at Danielle’s habitat, she shows Sayid a broken music box that Robert gave her. Sayid offers to fix it… if she will untie his hands. She goes to a cabinet and removes an ancient hypodermic syringe, using sandpaper to remove the rust from the needle itself. As Sayid begs her not to do it, she jabs him in the leg and sends him under. When he comes to, Sayid is chained to a desk by his feet and the music box is waiting in front of him. She mentions the presence of the “others”, but when Sayid asks if she has actually seen other people on the island, she says no. However, she claims to hear them… out there in the jungle. They whisper…

We FLASHBACK to the prison in Iraq as Sayid enters Nadia’s cell with some food — and a seemingly genuine concern for her. Sayid shows her a series of photos and begs her to simply nod at the one who helped plan the bombing he’s been investigating. If she does just that, he’s sure he can get her released. And though we can see her affection for Sayid, Nadia won’t do it.

Back in real time, Sayid uses the tools Danielle provided to work on the mechanics and soon it is playing just like new. As Danielle revels in the joy of the music, Sayid asks her to let him go. He now realizes that he must return to his friends. If they have any hope of rescue, they must all work together. Danielle tells him he can’t leave, he needs her if he wants to survive — and as they are arguing there is a menacing ROAR from outside. Danielle immediately springs into action, grabbing her rifle, a knife and extra ammo. “Maybe it’s one of the bears,” she says. “Dinner.” Sayid asks her to untie him so he can go with her. She tells him no — she knows he will only run off. As she is climbing out of the habitat, Sayid warns her that it might be the monster. Danielle looks at Sayid with a mixture of pity and reassurance — “Poor Sayid,” she says. “There are no such things as monsters.” As soon as she leaves the habitat, Sayid opens his hand to reveal a tiny screwdriver he managed to palm without Danielle seeing. He uses it to break free and he quickly gathers his things. He takes the many charts and maps on the table, stuffs them into his backpack and grabs the spare rifle before climbing his way out.

In FLASHBACK we go once more to the Iraqi prison to learn that Sayid has been ordered to shoot Nadia. He argues for more time, but Omar orders him to get on with it — it’s been months and she’s given them nothing. Sayid marches Nadia under armed guard toward the killing room. When they reach the room, he dismisses the other guards, telling them he’ll take over from there. Once they’re out of sight, he removes Nadia’s hood and leads her to a door. He tells her that there’s a truck outside that will be leaving for Baghdad in a few minutes — if she hurries, she can hide in the back and escape before anyone notices. As he removes her chains, Omar comes from behind and demands to know what’s going on. Sayid’s face answers the question for him and as he pulls his sidearm, Sayid draws his own and shoots Omar. Nadia begs Sayid to come with him, but he tells her he can’t. If he deserts, Saddam’s forces will murder his entire family. Nadia manages to write something on the back the familiar photo that Sayid carries before fleeing out the door.

Back in the jungle, Sayid struggles on his bad leg to escape. He hears someone coming and hides just in time to see Danielle looking for him. He gets the drop on her and tells her to throw down her weapon, but she won’t listen. He tells her if she doesn’t drop the gun, he’ll have to shoot her, but she still raises the gun into firing position. Sayid is forced to pull the trigger — CLICK. Nothing happens. Danielle tells Sayid that she removed the firing pin. After an impassioned exchange between them, Danielle agrees to let Sayid leave, but refuses to come back with him. Sayid has one final question before he leaves, “Who is Alex?” Danielle has a look of sadness when she answers, “Alex was my child.”

Meanwhile, in the valley, the whole camp is watching the first “Island Open” as Jack, Charlie and Michael battle it out on the golf course. People are actually laughing for what seems like the first time since they crashed here. Even Sawyer manages to share the moment with the others.But not everyone is at the Golf tournament. As Locke practices throwing one of his knives into the trunk of a tree, Walt emerges from the brush. He asks Locke to teach him. After considering the question for a moment, Locke turns the knife around and hands it to Walt. As he takes it, we are left to wonder just what he has begun…

As night falls, Sayid struggles to make his way back to the beach. The wind howls around him and for a moment he thinks he hears something… the whispering of voices. As we push in on Sayid, we are left to wonder whether the wind is playing tricks on him or… if there really is something out there.

Season 1, Episode 109 – Solitary is a post from: Lost TV Show

Back in the jungle, Sawyer approaches the hiding spot where he keeps his stash and finds Boone going through his things. Off Boone’s scared expression we go to the caves, where Jack tends to Sayid’s head wound as Sayid explains that whoever hit him also destroyed the transceiver. Sayid vows to find the person responsible. Boone stumbles back into camp, bloody and beaten. He explains that Shannon has asthma and has run out of refills for her inhaler. He went to see Sawyer because he caught him reading Watership Down — a book that Boone had in his bag; the same bag that carried the refills. Boone tells Jack that Sawyer refused to give up the refills and attacked him.

On the beach, Charlie delivers water to Claire. He tells her that he’s worried about her and attempts to talk her into moving to the caves. But Claire wants to stay on the beach, holding onto hope of rescue.

Jack confronts Sawyer about with holding the inhaler refills that could help Shannon. He begins rifling through Sawyer’s things and the two almost come to blows, but Kate interrupts them, diffusing the tense situation. Jack leaves Sawyer, who pulls out a familiar piece of paper — one that we recognize from the pilot — and begins to read, which launches into a FLASHBACK –

– to the hotel room where we last left him. Jessica is more than curious about all the cash Sawyer has in his briefcase. Sawyer explains that it’s his life savings — $140,000 — but only half of what he needs to buy into a share of an oil mining operation. He’s meeting with an investor who may supply the other half. Jessica’s intrigued and offers a way to get the rest of the money without the investor — through her husband.

Back on the island, Kate tries to calm Jack down. She offers to talk to Sawyer, claiming she can reason with him because, “they have a connection”. Kate approaches Sawyer and attempts to appeal to his sense of capitalism. She asks what he wants in exchange for the inhaler refills and Sawyer requests a kiss. Kate doesn’t buy that this is what he wants and tries to get under Sawyer’s skin by mentioning his ‘letter’ — the one she’s seen him read several times before. Sawyer turns dark at the mention of the letter, forcing Kate to read it out loud. We learn that the letter was written by a young boy who implicates Sawyer in a scam against his parents, which led to an affair with his mother, driving his father to kill his mother and then himself.Meanwhile, out in the jungle, Sayid questions Locke on his whereabouts when he was attacked. Locke claims he was out hunting and points Sayid in Sawyers direction — someone who’s been profiting from their current circumstance. Locke gives Sayid one of his knives to protect him from another potential attack.

At the caves, Shannon is in the throes of an asthma attack, as Sun looks on concerned. Sawyer strolls into camp for water, which infuriates Jack, who finally takes a satisfying swing at him. But Sawyer is defiant and doesn’t fight back. Jack is left to walk away and off Sawyer’s look we –

– FLASHBACK — to an upscale restaurant, where Sawyer, posing as Jessica’s co worker at the bank, explains the oil opportunity to her husband, David. But David is skeptical. Sawyer seems unphased and walks away, but David has second thoughts and calls out to Sawyer, who stops with a grin plastered across his face. Sawyer leaves the money with David in an act of good faith and tells him he’ll wait for a decision.

Back at the beach, Charlie and Claire discuss the comforts they miss at home — but all Charlie can think of is food. Claire admits that she too misses food and is especially craving peanut butter. Charlie makes a deal with her — if he produces peanut butter, she moves to the caves, where, at the moment, Shannon is having a much more severe attack and Jack has to talk her down. He storms out to confront to Sawyer again. Sayid follows him and suggests that he knows a way to get what they want out of Sawyer — he was, after all, in the Iraqi Republican Guard. And Jack, having had no luck at reasoning or fighting with Sawyer, can only agree.

Meanwhile, Charlie hunts for peanuts to make peanut butter, while Sun shares a remedy for Shannon with Michael. On the beach, Sayid sneaks up on Sawyer while he’s sleeping and clubs him over the head. He and Jack drag Sawyer out into the woods and tie him to a tree, much to Kate’s objection. Jack attempts to reason with Sawyer one last time. But when Sawyer refuses to produce the inhalers, Sayid goes about torturing him with bamboo reeds under his nails. Jack can barely stand to watch and calls Sayid off. But there’s more going on here for Sayid, who thinks Sawyer is the one who attacked him in the previous episode. Sayid pulls out Locke’s knife and threatens to put it through Sawyer’s eye. This gets Sawyer to agree to talk — but only to Kate.

In FLASHBACK — we visit Sawyer in a pool hall, where he explains to his to his ‘boss’, Mr. Kilo, that he left his money with the mark in order to earn his trust. He explains that the wives are easy, but that the husbands need to think they’re smarter than him. Kilo tells Sawyer he had better be right and demands his money, plus fifty percent, by noon the next day.

Back on the island, Sawyer wonders if Kate is going to let Shannon suffer over one little kiss, which he asks for shamelessly and she agrees to selflessly — but what starts as a mercy kiss turns into something more…there’s chemistry between them and she may actually be enjoying it. When they break, Sawyer announces that he really doesn’t have the inhalers; the copy of Waterhsip Down simply washed up on shore. And Kate smacks him, hard. She tells Jack and Sayid that Sawyer doesn’t have what they need. But Sayid maintains that Sawyer is lying and goes back to resume his torture to find that he has worked himself free from the ropes. Sayid attacks Sawyer wielding Locke’s knife. They tussle and Sawyer ends up with a slashed artery. Jack pinches off the blood flow, literally holding Sawyer’s life in his hands. He sends Sayid to get medical supplies. And as Sawyer drifts in and out of consciousness –

– we FLASHBACK a final time, to David and Jessica’s home, where Sawyer is about to close the deal and walk away with $300,000. But when David and Jessica’s young son emerges from the bedroom, Sawyer can’t bring himself to do it. He calls things off, inadvertently reveals his affair with Jessica and leaves the money behind.

Back on the island, Sawyer sleeps, recovering with a few stitches in his arm. He wakes up to find Kate sitting nearby with his letter. She explains to him that since she first read it, she’s been feeling that something wasn’t quite right. So she continued to read it — over and over again, when it occurred to her that he wrote the letter — and a 1976 Bicentennial postmark on the envelope confirms it. Sawyer admits that he was just an 8 year old kid when he wrote it. He explains that when he was nineteen, he got into trouble where he owed a lot of money to some very scary men, so he took the name of the man he was hunting and became a “confidence man” himself. But just when we think Sawyer is softening by opening up to Kate, he shuts down and chases her away.

Elsewhere, Sun brings eucalyptus leaves to Shannon, helping her to breathe, while Charlie brings some ‘imaginary’ peanut butter to Claire and convinces her to come to the caves. Sayid tells Kate he’s leaving the camp because he can’t face what he did to Sawyer — he plans to walk the shore and map the island. And Sawyer takes a lighter to his letter, about to burn it, but he’s unable to go through with it and pockets the letter, right along with his anger

Season 1, Episode 108 – Confidence Man is a post from: Lost TV Show

ABC Lost – Lost TV Show Season 1, Episode 105 White Rabbit recap is from ABC Lost website.We get a real good feel of Jack and his impulse to push himself against odds that seem impossible.

As the eye opens, we see a trickle of blood beginning to flow from a cut just above it. We pull back to see a boy laying flat on his back. Beside him another boy is being ruthlessly beaten against a school yard fence. “Walk away now and you won’t get your ass kicked,” says the bully. And the truth of it is, walking away would definitely be the smart thing for him to do the bully is much bigger than he is. But the boy against the fence is in real trouble and, mixed in with the pain and the terror there is something else written on his face – written so clearly you’d have to be blind not to see it. Please, help me! The first boy is up in a flash and goes to help his friend, but he’s grabbed from behind by the bully and spun around, the bully’s fist already cocked and ready to fire. “Should’ve stayed down Jack.” WHAP! Lights out…

That was a Young Jack. Back in real time, Charlie races down the beach towards him, rousing Adult Jack from his FLASHBACK. “Jack! JACK! There’s someone out there!” Charlie points out to the ocean – And oh my God, there IS someone out there yelling for help and struggling to stay afloat. Before Charlie can explain that he doesn’t know how to swim, Jack is in the water, pounding through the surf towards the target. When he gets there, he scans the surface and finds nothing but open water. He dives under. Nothing. He dives again and he’s down there a long time until he’s up and he’s got someone with him. It’s Boone! And just as we’re about to breathe a sigh of relief, Boone asks a terrible question: “Did you get her?” Did he get who? “That woman, did you get her?” Jack turns around and, sure enough, there is someone else further out, calling for help and about to go under. Kate and Charlie take an exhausted Boone from Jack at the breakwater and Jack turns around and dives right back in. But we widen out we see the awful truth laid out before us. Jack can swim as hard as he wants… but there is no one left to save.

Back on the beach, while Kate is trying to prevent Jack from beating himself up for the life he didn’t save, Jack sees the man in the suit standing in the water. When he asks Kate if she saw him too, Kate recognizes that Jack’s exhausted and asks how long it’s been since he slept.

Meanwhile, Sawyer has begun his own business, providing luxuries to the survivors from the stash of goodies he collected from the wreckage and as the prices reflect, he’s got the market cornered in that department. “But don’t worry”, he tells Shannon…he’ll take a check.

Hurley and Charlie tell Jack that they are dangerously low on water. It hasn’t rained in a few days and there are 47 people to take care of. Jack has to point out the mathematical error. Better make that 46. They want Jack to decide what should be done, but he wants no part of it.

In FLASHBACK we see young Jack in his father’s study receiving a very important lesson on what it takes to be a leader. He tells Jack he doesn’t have it. And while that might not be the easiest lesson to learn, Jack needs to know there are consequences for getting involved in other people’s business. Consequences like that shiner on his eye.

Back in real time, Jack is speaking with Boone when he sees the man in the suit again. This time, he’s not going to let him get away. He races off into the woods and sees the man standing there with his back turned. When he turns around, the shock knocks Jack right off his feet because the man in the suit looks an awful lot like his FATHER!

On the beach, the heat and the lack of water are taking their toll. When Claire faints, the others rally to her side, but when they go to give her some of the precious water, they make a frightening discovery – it’s all gone – stolen! Locke offers to go into the jungle to find more – just enough to keep Claire going.

IN FLASHBACK, we see Jack back in the same study, but he’s older now the Jack we know on the island. His mother tells him that his father is missing and that it’s Jack’s fault. She tells him to go and bring his father back home. Jack asks his mother where he is. She answers, Australia.

In the jungle, Jack races after the man in the suit. Just as he is getting close, he trips and falls down an incline, barely catching himself on a vine before falling off a cliff. He hangs there, slowly losing his grip on the vine. But just before he falls to the rocks below, a hand comes over and pulls him up. It’s Locke! He tells Jack that the others are all looking to him to tell them what to do. Jack doesn’t want the job and tells Locke about his hallucinations. Locke tells Jack that he should consider the possibility he is not hallucinating. But that’s impossible. Locke tells him that possible is a relative term especially on this island.

Back at the beach, Sayid and Kate catch Sun with a bottle of water. When they learn she got it from Sawyer, they confront him about stealing their supply. Turns out he didn’t do it and he can prove it – he made a trade with Jin, “cave man style”. As Charlie does his best to comfort Claire, we wonder how long she can hang on.

In FLASHBACK, Jack finally catches up with his father in Australia in the morgue. Back in reality, Jack wipes away his tears as he sits alone in the jungle struggling with the loss all over again. Suddenly, the man in the suit crosses by again. Jack follows him through the dark and into an undiscovered part of the island where Jack discovers fresh water and a COFFIN.

In the final FLASHBACK, we learn that Jack put his father’s coffin on the plane to fly back to California for the funeral. In real time, Jack finds that the coffin is EMPTY. In a fit of frustration at not being able to bury his father and the pure exhaustion that may be causing him to hallucinate, he destroys the coffin.

Back at the beach the water thief is caught. It was Boone! And just as the mob is about to have at him, Jack returns to the scene. He tells them they can’t go on like this. It’s been six days and rescue hasn’t come, they have to start accepting the idea that it may never come. He tells them about the water he found in the jungle and explains to them all that things have to change or more people are going to die. “If we can’t live together, we’re going to die alone.”

Lost – The Complete First Season

Season 1, Episode 105 – White Rabbit is a post from: Lost TV Show

ABC Lost: This is the Lost TV Show Recap of: Lost Season 1 Episode 4 Walkabout (s01e04). We are in Locke’s dream as the show opens and it’s moments after the crash. As his eye opens, we see the experience from his perspective. Chaos rages around him as he very cautiously looks down to his feet. We see him wiggle his big toe – Good, everything works.

Back in real time, Locke’s dream is interrupted by Vincent barking. In fact, he’s waking up the entire camp. He won’t stop barking at the fuselage and when Jack and the others listen closely they can hear something rummaging around in there. But that can’t be, everything in there is dead. Sawyer? Nope, he’s right behind Jack. When they shine a flashlight inside, two glowing eyes shine right back at them. Uh oh…

Three squealing beasts charge out of the wreckage and tear through the camp. As they disappear back into the jungle, Locke is able to determine what they are -Wild Boars. They’ve been attracted by the bodies that have been baking in the fuselage for the last 4 days. Something has to be done. Bury them? They wouldn’t stay buried, not for long anyway. Jack makes the only call he can – The bodies have to be burned.

But, as usual, just as one problem is solved, another rears its ugly head. They’re out of food. It’s all gone. And just as panic begins to set in, Locke steps forward with his own brand of problem solving. They can hunt the boars. What are they supposed to hunt with? The case of knives Locke checked into the luggage compartment. “Who is this guy?”

In FLASHBACK Locke gets a cryptic phone call from someone who calls him “Colonel.” Of course, he’s in the military! But we soon discover that isn’t true at all – Locke is just another cubicle jockey with an active imagination.

Back on the island, Michael is getting ready to go with Locke. Walt wants to come, but Michael manages to communicate with Sun well enough to convince her to watch his son until the hunting party returns. Meanwhile, Sayid has a plan to try and locate the source of the French Transmission using homemade antennas to triangulate the signal. Kate agrees to help him and tells Jack of her plan before setting off with Locke and Michael to hunt for boar. Back at the fuselage, Claire is beginning to collect the personal effects of the dead for use in a eulogy during the cremation. She asks Jack to be the one to give it, but he doesn’t want the job. Claire decides to do it herself.

Boone remarks to Shannon that one of the survivors, Rose, has been sitting by herself way down the beach. He’s pretty sure she hasn’t eaten since the crash. When Shannon tells him to butt out, Boone reminds Shannon that she would starve without his help. She vows to show him she can take care of herself.

Deep in the jungle, Locke has found the boar trail. They’re close. He sends Michael and Kate out to surround the beast, but it turns on them and charges. Michael is gored in the leg and as Kate helps him up she calls to Locke to see if he is okay. “I’m fine, Helen, I just got the wind knocked out of me.” Who is Helen?

In FLASHBACK, we see Locke enjoying an intimate conversation with “Helen” over the phone. He has a surprise for her – he finally saved up the money to go to Australia and take that authentic aboriginal walkabout. And guess what? He bought two tickets. Sadly, we learn that Helen doesn’t share the same feelings for Locke as he does for her.

Back on the island, Kate agrees to help Michael limp back to the beach, but Locke is determined to bring down that boar. Kate tells him he can’t go out there by alone. Locke disagrees. “Don’t tell me what I can’t do.”

Back on the beach, a hunter of another sort has found her quarry. Shannon flirts with Charlie and mentions how much she would like a fish. Charlie is only too happy to catch her one as soon as he can learn how to from Hurley.

Jack has made his way over to Rose and tries to get her to open up to him. After some time, she does and tells him that, even though he has not been found, she believes her husband, Bernard is still alive. She agrees to rejoin the others. Meanwhile, back at the fuselage, Claire has found an envelope with Sayid’s name on it. He opens it and we find a woman’s picture inside. Sayid can’t seem to take his eyes off her.

On the way back to the beach, Kate stops to climb a tree and attach the antenna. But when she is up there, she sees the monster knocking down trees in the distance and drops the antenna, breaking it. And the monster is heading straight for Locke.

On the beach, Sun is teaching Walt about natural substitutes for toothpaste when Michael and Kate return. The others learn that the hunt was unsuccessful and worse still, that Locke is probably dead.

When Jack is making the final preparations to the fuselage, he sees something – wait someone, off in the forest. When he chases after him, he runs smack into Locke, who has somehow managed to survive his run in with the monster. And that’s not all – he brought back a boar with him.

As night falls, the fuselage is ignited and the names of the dead are read in memorial to them. Michael congratulates Locke on the hunt and asks him if he got a look at the monster. Locke tells him he didn’t see anything.

But as we get one more glimpse into his past, we learn that Locke is keeping a secret – one that must be seen to be believed.
