As Libby clings to life,
Michael must deal with the awful truth of what he has done. While Jack
treats his gunshot wound, Michael knows that she is the only person
who can say what really happened in the Hatch. This has him on edge
more than ever. And while his guilt is profound, his desire to rescue
his son is much, much stronger.
But what to do about
Henry? It looks like he shot three of our people on his way out of the
Hatch and two of them are likely to die. He's on the run and Jack
wants some payback, but is once again handcuffed by his value to the
group as a doctor and therefore must pass the responsibility of going
after him to someone else.
Eko finds himself
drawn to Locke like never before and the two form an uneasy alliance
as they set off in pursuit of the man who has wrought so much havoc in
the camp. But as they make their way into the jungle, we get the sense
this journey is about much more than revenge.

In FLASHBACK we see Eko as he
once was, resplendent in his robes and taking confession in an Australian
church. But when one of his "customers" makes a reference to Eko's
past we learn that he still trying to free himself of the man he once was. It
seems Eko is trying to make his way to the USA and he's finally got the papers
to get him there, but his Monsignor informs him that his trip will have to
wait -- at least long enough for him to investigate something. It seems one of
the parishioners has reported a miracle.
Back on the island, Libby
continues to hold on as Michael sweats it out in the background and Kate has
the unenviable job of informing Hurley the terrible news. Despondent, Hurley
races to the Hatch to sit at Libby's side in a desperate attempt to save her
life.
Meanwhile, in the jungle,
Locke and Eko share a haunting connection in their dreams that leads them to
the discovery of a new Hatch. And the information they discover within is
enough to shake all of us to the core. It seems that, for these two men, their
feelings and beliefs about the island have switched places. Whereas Locke was
the believer for so long, this new discovery has convinced him he was being a
fool. But Eko's belief in the importance of what they are doing has never ever
been stronger. And on this island, the stakes are as high as they get.
People see what they want to.
And while one person sees nothing but smoke and mirrors, the next believes he
has been witness to an honest-to-goodness miracle. Thing is, who among us is
in a position to decide which one is correct? |
