SYNOPSIS - the episode begins after Jack realizes that Ethan was not part of the crew and that he was the one who had attacked Claire. Jack and Locke rush to the woods to capture Ethan when Locke realizes that they need to get together a search party and Jack should stay behind because the crew needs him for his medical expertise but Jack refuses to admit defeat. This is the second time that we have seen Jack feel responsible for someone when in fact he couldn't have done anything to prevent the death of the women in the ocean or knowing if Claire was telling the truth. This is probably because he is very moralistic and places great burden on himself to save somebodies life no matter what. as you might have guessed, this episode focuses on the expansion of Jack's history. from the flashbacks we learn how Jack became so committed to his job when he came to operate on his dad's ER patient when one of the nurses informed Jack that his father was under the influence while operating. he doesn't even commit to signing the papers proving his father's innocence until his father persuades him to give him another chance. Jack is very surprised when his father lies to the patients husband about the her death and how he has no guilt or remorse of what he did. flash forward to a board meeting where Jack's father is under investigation. during the questioning Jacks learns that his father lied to him about the patient being pregnant which doesn't sit well with Jack who right there and then tells the truth about what really happened. this is the reason why his father left for Australia knowing his life was over and why his mom demanded Jack to bring back his father when he was fully responsible for his demise.

back on the island Locke gets a search party that includes Boone and Kate. after a while the four spot Charlie's finger marked letters and they decide to follow until they find out the letters follow in one direction while foot prints follow a different direction. Jack and Kate take the letters way and eventually find Ethan who warns Jack to stop or else Charlie will die. Jack refuses to give up and follows Ethan until he find Charlie hanging by his head. Jack tries to provide CPR but with no sign of improvment he stops until he realizses that he cant be responsible for anymore deaths and continues until he brings back Charlie to life. unfortunately Claire is still missing and when they ask Charlie for guidance he responds by "they only wanted Claire". (Q - What does Ethan want from Claire)

SYNOPSIS - in this episode we finally get some answers about Sawyer, the mysterious only individual which everyone has come to hate. the letter which Sawyer is always reading about is actually a letter he wrote when he was a child to con man called Sawyer who had tricked his parents out of their money and as a result his dad couldn't take it so not only did his dad kill himself but also his mother. in the letter Sawyers says clearly that one day he will find the con man and make him pay. Sawyers disregard for the rest of the crew and individualist mentality means that he didn't really have anybody back on the real world and his only goal in life was to avenge his family. for example, when Boone attempts to take asthma medicine from Sawyer's box which he didn't have, Sawyer in return beats up Boone and fools everybody including Sayid and Jack in order to get Kate to kiss him. from the flashbacks we can see that he would get hold of a wife with a rich husband and fools them into investing in a phony scheme. now Sawyer is doing the same exact thing on the island for reasons we don't know. in the last scheme Sawyer was involved in, he sees a kid from the family he was scamming and suddenly it reminds him of his childhood and he realizes that he has become the very person he was trying to avenge.

as far the story of the crew goes, Sayid is caught is on the hunt to find the person who attacked him from the back. now when Sayid tries to question Locke, Locke points Sayid to Sawyer and explains that Sawyer doesn't really care about the crew and nor does he want them to get rescued. making Sayid believe that Sawyer is up to no good which seems really suspicious. when Boone shows bruised up, Jack gets really angry and confronts Sawyer and eventually attacks him.
