He immediately takes action, getting guns and using a system of mirrors to look up the Hatch at Jack and Locke, who had just blown it open. Not being able to see past the darkness, Locke wants to go down and explore, but Jack says that they should wait until morning since the hiding plan won’t work anyway. Locke proceeds anyway, and Kate helps him. She goes down first, but falls. Locke, unable to hear her, goes down after her. Tired of waiting around, Jack joins them. He finds Locke pinned at gunpoint by the man, whom Jack recognizes from his past: his name is...

She tells him later that she did it to protect him against Jin. When Michael’s raft goes up in flames, he blames Jin. (Jin even has burns on his hands.) Sawyer, having already bought a seat on the raft, attacks Jin. Later, Jin is almost attacked by Michael, as well, but Sun yells for him to stop… in English.

When Boone wakes up, he’s bound by rope, and Locke rubs some sort of paste on his wound before leaving.

He attacks Locke for putting them in that position, but Locke reveals that it was all just a paste-induced hallucination designed to...
