Flashbacks

Follows Sun’s flashback from the previous episode, Jin goes to the bathroom, he encounters a casually dressed Caucasian man (John Walcutt) who reveals in Korean, that he works for Sun’s father (Byron Chung), and knows that Jin was attempting to run away with Sun. He tells Jin to complete his delivery of a watch to Sun’s father’s friend in California. In his hotel room, Charlie attempts to find the drugs and after recovering it a girl (Teresa Livingstone), whom he slept with asks if he has any left. He lies and says that he’s out, but she realizes that he’s lying and attacks him for the drugs. Michael and Walt await in the airport for their flight. Michael calls his mother, to whom he expresses his exasperation, and asks if she can take care of Walt, eventually even offering to pay her. Hurley’s awakens late for his flight due to a short-circuit in the wall outlet that leaves his alarm clock without power. In a mad dash for the airport, he experiences several problems, including a flat tire and arriving at the domestic terminal rather than international; he manages to get to the terminal just as they are closing the gate. The boarding agent is able to get them to reopen the doors for him, and he hugs her. Airline staff tells Locke that the wheelchair that is normally used to load disabled passengers on to the plane is lost, and he must be carried on by two attendants. When he drops a pamphlet from his seat, he is unable to reach it, but struggles to maintain his dignity. The final flashback is a montage that shows the group of strangers boarding the plane. Claire struggles in the aisle to get to her seat. Kate is led in handcuffs onto the plane. Sawyer searches for his seat. Jack puts his luggage into the overhead compartment, with Locke watching right behind him. Sayid endures the glares of fellow passengers (because of his ethnicity) by looking at pictures of his lost love (Andrea Gabriel). Michael fastens the seatbelt of Walt as he plays Game Boy Advance SP, ignoring his father. Shannon frantically searches for her inhaler in her purse, but Boone shows it to her, causing her to smile. Hurley makes it on to the plane, giving Walt a thumbs-up before sitting down. Finally, Jack, about to sit down, catches Locke’s eye, and the two politely acknowledge each other, unaware of what awaits them.

On the Island

After Rousseau leaves them, Locke, Kate, and Jack enter the ship through a large hole in the hull of the vessel. Skeletons are found shackled together, likely remains of slaves. Old mining equipment is also found, including the dynamite. At least two cases of highly-volatile sticks are present inside the ship’s hold. Jack and Locke haul one of the cases out of the ship. While attempting to handle some of the volatile dynamite carefully, the unfortunate Arzt triggers one of the sticks and blows himself up. The remaining survivors decide to continue, wrap the dynamite in wet cloth, draw straws to see who would carry it – Kate and Locke – and leave the ship with several sticks of dynamite.

On their way back to the hatch, Jack and Kate see what seems to be a small cloud of smoke move through some nearby trees, and they hear the rumbling of the monster, which ensnares Locke’s leg and drags him through the jungle. Jack grabs onto Locke to prevent him from being pulled into a hole, though Locke pleads with Jack to let him go. Jack then instructs Kate to drop a stick of dynamite into the tunnel, which causes an underground explosion, resulting in black smoke coming out of a nearby hole on the horizon, and disappearing. The hold on Locke slackens and they are able to extract him. Jack and Locke discuss the situation of the Monster, and they agree that Jack is a man of science, but that Locke is a man of faith. Locke believes everything that has occurred is to “open the hatch.” Jack disagrees, and believes it is to survive.

Charlie and Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) are alone on the beach when Rousseau runs up, telling Charlie that she needs to see Sayid urgently. When Charlie runs off to get Sayid, Rousseau asks Claire if she can hold her baby. Soon Charlie and Sayid (accompanied by Shannon) return, to find Claire exclaiming that her baby has been taken, and Sayid surmises that Rousseau intends to attempt an exchange of Aaron, Claire’s baby, for her own child, Alex, with the “Others.” As evening approaches, Charlie and Sayid head toward the black smoke. During their journey, Charlie is injured by one of Rousseau’s traps, and they also encounter the downed drug smugglers’ plane, which Sayid, unaware of Charlie’s past as an addict, reveals is full of heroin. When Sayid and Charlie arrive on the beach with the black smoke, there are no other people, just a pyre, but they follow the sound of the baby’s crying to find Rousseau’s hiding place. She tearfully tells them that she overheard them saying that they were going to go after “the boy,” and she thought that if she brought him to them, they would return her child. She returns the baby.

Meanwhile, Jack, Kate, Locke and Hurley arrive at the hatch. They manage to set the dynamite up on the hinge of the hatch, and are about to set it off when Hurley notices the appearance of the numbers on the side. He yells at them not to light the fuse, but Locke does so anyway. Hurley tries to stamp it out, but Jack tackles him just in time to save him from the blast.
Walt is taken by the boat crew.

At night, the raft crew’s radar sweep turns up a boat in the distance. They fire their single flare, and the boat approaches them. It turns out to be a group of strangers who demand that they hand over Walt. Sawyer tries to pull his gun, but he is shot by one of the boat crewmen and falls into the water. Jin jumps into the water to try and save Sawyer, while the strangers overpower Michael and kidnap Walt. As they sail off, the strangers throw an explosive on to the raft, destroying it.

Charlie reunites the baby with Claire. It is also revealed that Charlie has kept at least one of the statues filled with heroin in his bag. Shannon finds Sayid and they embrace.

The episode ends with Jack and Locke looking down into the hatch as the camera pans down to reveal a very deep dark hole with a broken ladder near the top.
