LOST Season 2: Ep.18 - "Dave"



Why was Hurley admitted into a mental house and why does Hurley think he has seen Libby somewhere?

So far in the series we have seen several characters come face to face with their loved ones from the past such as Kate with the horse, and Jack with his dad. When Hurley comes face to face to special someone from his past, we find out it is nothing but a imaginary friend he made up to stop himself from changing by eating. The reason why Hurley never wanted to change was because he hated himself for killing those people in the lift due to his weight even though his weight was not to the real cause. As a result he did nothing but eat and isolate himself from the public and eventually was admitted into a mental hospital. Through the guidance of his psychotherapist Hurley did recover and was released. Back on the island, his imaginary friend called Dave appeared again because he blamed himself for crashing the plane and everything else and started eating again. It went so far that Hurley convinced himself to committing suicide. Luckily Libby came just in time and stopped Hurley by committing to helping him recover. But just as the the episode ends, we see Libby sitting in the same mental house as Hurley, totally oblivious to her surrounding. What was Libby doing in a mental hospital?

LOST Season 2: Ep.15 - "Maternity Leave"


What happened to Claire when she was abducted by Ethan?

In this episode we finally find out what happened in those two weeks Claire was gone. It turns out Ethan had injected Claire's baby with needles for an experiment he was conducting. His plans were to kills Claire in the operation and take the baby out of her womb. Why was Ethan interested in Clarie's baby? In the baby crib that Ethan made for Claire, there was a miniature flying airplanes hanging in the crib. If you look closely, the planes logo states "Oceanic Airlines". Does Oceanic Airlines have anything to do with the island? Before Ethan could get his hand on her, a young teenage girl named Alex, who is Rousseau's daughter saves her and leaves her in the woods.

Henry Gale - "Why do you let Jack call the shots"

Jack and Locke continue to lock Henry Gale and yet don't know why they are doing it and for how long just like how they don't know why they are punching in the numbers in the computer screen. My best guess, they are afraid of the unknown and they don't want anything bad to happen. In the mean while, Eko figures out there is someone in the infirmary and black mails Jack to let him speak to Henry Gale in order to confess his sins from killing the two men who attacked his camp the day they crashed on the island. At the same time, Henry Gales realizes there is some kind of power struggle going on between Jack and Locke and so tries to play against each other.

LOST Season 2: Ep.14 - "One of Them"

SAYID - "I torture because I feel no guilt"

We know Sayid's past has been full of pain and grieve. From his past, he worked in the republican guard as a torturer, torturing people he actually loved like Nadia and innocent people who later came back with revenge. Then on the island Sayid loses Shannon, who was killed due to an accident but it could have also been the island it self. Sayid promised himself never to torture after the asthma incident, but after Shannon's death, the emotional baggage, he needed someone to take his anger out, connecting to his deep and secret past of torture. That someone became Henry Gale, a new character introduced by Rousseau who claims, he is one the 'others'. Uncertain about Rousseau's claim and if Henry Gale is actually telling the truth, Sayid uses this opportunity to torture in order to find the truth but more important release his pain from Shannon's death.

In this episode we learn that Kate's father was the marine responsible for Sayid's capture. There has been several incidences where the lives of each one on the island has in some or another way intersected before. What does this mean? We also learn that Sayid learned his torture skills from the American commander who persuaded him to find the whereabouts of the missing pilot from his commanding officer no matter what. Is Sayid inherently a torturer or is it merely his lack of overcoming his past sins?


Locke - "We are at war Jack"

The mysterious Henry Gale has brought greater tension between Jack and Locke. Both are at odds on what to do with their new prisoner. What if Henry Gale is really telling the truth or what if he is really one of the 'others'. How can they find the truth? When Locke couldn't punch in the numbers on time, the clock turned all red with strange symbols. Is the computer room really a bogus experiment or the destroyer of the planet?

LOST Season 2: Ep.13 - "The Long Con"

CHARACTER MODE

We have come to known Sawyer as egoist, self-fish and crude individual but by the end of this episode we learn something about Sawyer that has been long overdue, evil. From the previous season, we learned Sawyer's childhood was ruined when his dad killed him self and his mom because of a con man named 'Sawyer', a name James picked up when he followed the con man to seek revenge until he became the person he was looking for. We also he got tricked by his long time associate into killing an innocent man in Australia who he thought was the actual 'Sawyer'. In this episode we learn how far Sawyer is willing to go for the sake of finishing the con. Cassidy becomes Sawyer's victim in the episode when he plays the same game he did with other divorced and desperate women until Cassidy figures it out. Instead of turning Sawyer in she joins Sawyer in his con life. Months pass by as both do simple con missions until Cassidy asks for the long con and by the end of the episode we learn Cassidy was the long con all along. Sawyer knew she had the money but in the end he decides not to go through when his employer shows up, reminding him what it is at stake. So Sawyer finishes the job anyway and forever loses the only one he ever loved.


STORY MODE

On the island, new forms of relationships are established since the plane crashed.Tensions arise when Sun is dragged out in the woods by Charlie who wanted Locke to feel stupid and lonely by helping Sawyer get hold of all the guns. This happened because Jack and Ana Lucia, who have deep hatred for the 'Others' try to take the guns when Locke figures it out and hides them. This produces the divide between Locke and Jack even further when their trust among each other is shattered. The role of Ana Lucia brings some jealousy within Kate who has great doubts about her and comes forward with it to Jack and now Jack has some second thoughts about what Ana Lucia is capable of. All in all the rest of this is easily over shadowed now that Sawyer has all the guns everybody needs. To some extent it is good for the crew, so that they don't get emotional and run of into the jungle but at the same time its dangerous to have all guns in the hands of a con man who doesn't care much about the rest of the crew.
