It's hard out here for a gimp
? - We find a hatch that's full of mystery, and Eko and Locke watch a film called Orientation. It's not a clip show, I don't think. But pretty soon the "new hatch!" crutch for sustaining interest is going to get old. Also, Ana-Lucia is dead, and Libby is dying. And no one knows Michael did it. |

So glad to have you back, Michael
Two for the Road - Ana-Lucia screws Sawyer so she can get his gun, but then stunningly is unable to execute a man who assaulted her. This is called character development. And then Michael kills her. |

Make sure your sign doesn't read
S.O.S. - Bernard bullies everyone on the island to help him save his wife. He will do anything for her, including spending thousands of dollars to to see a faith healer who doesn't fix Rose. But the island does, because it fixes everything but Shannon's asthma. |

This is the Dave I know
Dave - Hurley sees an old friend from the asylum; clearly, he's hallucinating -- and as we examine his relationship with Dave back in the institution, it becomes clear pretty quickly that he was hallucinating then too. He might have been too busy hallucinating to notice that Libby was in the institution with him. Or maybe this is ALL IN HIS HEAD. |

During the Locke-down, John needs a little Gale force
Lockdown - Locke gets sealed up in the hatch with Henry and catches a little glimpse of an island map, visible only under black light. Sayid's found Henry's grave, only by "Henry's grave," I mean that a guy named Henry didn't DIG the grave; a guy named Henry is IN the grave. |

All change, she's having a baby
The Whole Truth - Sun takes a pregnancy test. It's positive. Which is possibly negative. Because she's positive that Jin's ability to father children is negative. And this episode finally answers the question: Is Henry an Other? Or, at least, it asks it for maybe the last time? Oh, who are we kidding. |

Sisters are screwing it up for themselves
Maternity Leave - Claire, Rousseau, and Kate go running across the island in search of medicine for Aaron, the first baby ever to get sick. Meanwhile, Claire flashes back to when she was Ethan's captive and high all the time and prepared to give Aaron up. And Rousseau's supposed to be more good than crazy now, I guess, thanks to the female bonding going, like a movie that should probably have Shirley MacLaine and Winona Ryder in it or something. |

In torture we trust
One of Them - For anyone who thought it was weird that a soldier in Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard somehow acquired torturing skills, this episode addresses that burning question: it was the U.S. Army who gave them to him. Naturally. Sayid puts his American know-how to the test against a suspected Other, captured by Rousseau. |

Power play
The Long Con - The flashbacks are all about Sawyer being a con artist bastard manipulating people to get what he wants, and then I guess we're supposed to be surprised when back on Craphole Island he turns out to be a con artist bastard manipulating people to get what he wants. |

Michael's Got a Gun
The Hunting Party - And he's going after Walt, dammit! And you can't stop him! You also can't find him, as Jack, Locke, and Sawyer quickly learn. They also learn that the Others are a bunch of hairy hillbillies with guns and they don't take kindly to strangers. Ultimately, Jack decides to see how kindly they take to a makeshift army of Lostaways. My guess is that they won't be too fond of that either. |

The 23rd Psalm - Charlie and Eko go on a hike to find the drug plane, since Eko might know a thing or two about it. If you're already carrying around a blood-spattered stick, and Charlie makes it back after going hiking with you, you are a stronger man than I am. |

Collision - Ana-Lucia flashes back to her days as one of L.A.'s finest, and a lapse in judgment costs her her unborn baby. Amazingly, despite a tragic backstory, she remains largely unsympathetic. |

Get your hands off my chicken
The Other 48 Days - The first month and a half for the Tailaways. It's a lot quicker and yet a lot more slow-motion-y. Just like they did with the Lostaways, the Others infiltrated them. Just like the Lostaways, the Tailaways debated whether to stay on the beach or move inland. Bonus: we get to see Shannon shot again! |

The petty details of so-and-so's life
Orientation - Desmond initiates the Lostaways in the ways of the hatch, specifically, the timer and the alarm and entering the code. As to what happens otherwise, or why, or what any of this means, well, we're going to have to wait a few more episodes (or maybe seasons). |

Exodus Part Two - Now say that while pulling at the corners of your mouth with your index fingers. Arse blows up, as does the hatch, but we don't get to see what's inside. The rafters meet another boat, but instead of rescuing the lostaways, the boaters kidnap Walt, shoot Sawyer and blow up the raft. That could have gone better, eh? |

Putting The "Fun" Back In "Funeral"
The Greater Good - Jack and Locke have a fight at Boone's funeral, and Jack reveals to everyone present that Locke lied to him about Boone's accident. This makes Shannon think that Locke murdered Boone. When Sayid doesn't kill Locke for her, she tries to take matters into her own hands. She fails, of course, because she's useless. |

Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
The Journey - ABC graciously airs an illuminating hour-long synopsis of the season up until this point, going over key points for longtime viewers and helping new viewers get up to speed. Or they threw together a hour's worth of "previously on Lost" scenes in a transparent attempt to mollify fans annoyed at scheduling irregularities, as well as making some easy advertising money. Any way you want it, that's the way you need it. |
