Images from abc.com

SYNOPSIS - the episode begins with Michael looking for Walt again. it looks like Michael doesn't really know how to handle or talk to Walt. so far we have learned from others that Walt was separated and lived in Australia with her mother who later died. well from the flashbacks we learn that Michael was very happy to have a child with Susan (Walt's mother) until one day in the future we see Michael playing with Walt and Susan looking down at him, giving him the sad news that she has decided to move to Amsterdam to pursue her career and that Walt needs to come with her since Michael doesn't have a job. moving little into the future we see Michael is trying to talk to Walt but Susan doesn't allow while on the background we hear another mans voice. Michael angry rushes to leave for Amsterdam when he comes in the way of a car and BANG. don't worry he is not dead, we see him in a hospital with his leg casted drawing a picture for Walt's second birthday when Susan appears and that she has decided to pay for his medical bills only if he lets Walt go and let Brian (Susan's future husband) to adopt Walt. Michael agrees. moving forward we see Walt grown up looking at a book of birds. he tries to get Brian's and Susan's attention who for a second feels a pinch of pain in her stomach. when Walt doesnt get anybodies attention, he gets really angry and we hear a bang sound outside after. when Brian looks over the window he sees a bird hit the window and die. coincedently thats the same bird that Walt was reading about in the book. strange. after several years pass by, Brian shows up on Michael's apartment and asks him to take Walt back and that Susan has passed away. he tells Michael that there is something about Walt. Michael gets confused but agrees to get Walt back. when Michael reaches Walt in Australia he learns that Susan has kept the birthday cards away from Walt. when Michael first approaches Walt, Walt is confused at who Michael is and doesnt agree to go anywhere with him. but with a little convincing Walt accepts Michael.
that is why back on the island we see Michael having a hard time with Walt. when Michael finds Walt he sees him with Locke practising throwing knifes. when he demands an answer Locke tells him that his boy is special. Michael doesnt understand and warns Locke of never to come close to Walt. Michael getting frustrated comes to a conculsion that he doesnt want Walt to be raised on the island and approaches Jack, Sayid and Kate to built a raft. nobody gives him much attention so he decides to built it by himself and dragging Walt with him. Walt doesnt like getting bossed around so he leaves into the jungle with vincent. Michaels gets freaked out and approaches Locke but learns he doesnt know where Walt is. Lockes understands the situation so he helps Michael. when they both find Walt, they are shocked that a polar bear has trapped Walt into a corner with vincent nowhere to be seen. with a teamwork Locke and Michael get Walt rescued. Walt is sorry and Michael shares the birthday cards and everyone is happy. hmmm not really. in the middle of the jungle we see Locke and Boone trying to get back vincent when they come across Claire looking bruised and scared.
