LOST Season 2: Ep.12 - "Fire + Water"

CHARACTER MODE

We we last left of Charlie, he was playing con man in London on a rich girls dad. This was right after the band had broken up for over a year and his brother living in Australia but we never really told how the band got separated. The episode begins with Charlie's strange dream where his mom gives her special child a piano for his Christmas present but dad chopping meat reminding him that Charlie is no special boy and right after Charlie is back on the island swimming to save Aaron from the water. Has the lack of drugs really messed up Charlie or is the island playing tricks again just like how it did to Locke? We see Charlie trying his best to get the band together but his big brother is in a total mess. His wife just gave birth to a baby girl and he is injecting him self with drugs. Their video gig for their hit signal, important to the survival of the band is ruined due to his brothers use of narcotics. Eventually Charlie's brother realizes that he has to change but not before selling the Charlie's piano for a plane ticket to Australia. Right there then Charlie loses everything, his band, his family and his music. His only solitude came from the drugs. This is why I believe Charlie kept those Virgin Mary's in the woods and the reason why he became so attached to Aaron because he wanted a normal family.

STORY MODE

On the island, Ana Lucia and Jack are forming a close bond. As Sawyer stated they have been going in the woods for weeks, what could they be doing? Right there Kate is feeling uneasy, is it because she is jealous or she doesn't trust Ana as much as Jack is becoming to. On the side, Hurley is feeling the need for some love and his fortunate lady is Libby. When Hurley and Libby visit the hatch to wash some laundry, Hurley realizes that some how he knows Libby from somewhere. From Libby's facial expression it seems Libby knows something but distracts Hurley by wearing a hot dress. Claire after hearing Charlie shouting about how Aaron needs to be baptised confronts Eko for help now that he is becoming the priest of the town. The relationship between Locke and Charlie is over when Charlie takes Aaron and tries to baptise him by taking him in the cold water. The whole crew right there realize how insane Charlie has become.
