Images from abc.com

SYNOPSIS - from the last episode we saw Boone getting kind of angry at Sayid hanging around his sister. I thought maybe he was a very protective brother but I wrong as well will find out. in this episode he actually confronts Sayid and demands him to stop seeing Shannon. well from the flashbacks we learn that Shannon was in a abusive relationship with somebody in Austrailia. I wonder how she got there? She calls Boone for help and Boone immediatly jumps on the next flight to save her. when he gets there, Shannon acts surprised to see him and gives him a clue to meet her after. Boone figures what the problem is so he first visits the police station where we find out that Shannon is his step sister and when the police doesnt provide much assistance he goes straight to the abusive boyfriend and offers to buy his love and end their relationship. he also says something about him doing the samething with three other guys before. I know brothers are supposed to support their younger sisters but a lot of times they just let go and move on. him acting so aggresive to saving her is quite strange. when he visits Shannon to get her back the boyfriend appears again and right there he figures it out that all those times including this has been a total act to get his money. the abusive boyfriend says something about her step mom not leavning anything for her when her father passed away so she improvised and tried to get money this way. later that night Shannon visits Boone's apartment looking sad because her boyfriend took the money and ran away. in order to get him back she seduces him and tells him that he always loved her. Boone tries to resist but it doesnt work and the night passes away. now the question did he really love her and if yes why. he has a great job with his mom's company and he could get any girl with his charm. knowing that Shannon was his step sister it would have been enough to repel any feelings for her. Shannon later asks Boone to forget what happened and be brother and sister again. so now we understand why Boone has been so defensive around Shannon because he still loves her. Locke recognize Boone needs to let go of her sister so she tricks him and ties him up and leaves him stranded in the middle of the jungle. after a while Boone starts to hear Shannon scream from a distance so he gets his strength back and frees himself. when he reaches her she is tied up with a tree. how did that happen? after freeing her the monster appears so they run away but after a while the monster appears again and this time takes Shannon and kills her. Boone devasted returns and attacks Locke accusing him of killing her but all be hold Shannon is talking and happy with Sayid. Locke realizes that it was the monster that played tricks on Boone to make him let go of his burden which was Shannon as Boone reveals. after both Locke and Boone walk away into the jungle.
