This episode was all about the new characters in the land of the Losties. Naomi was backed up by a Fearless Foursome who came to the island to supposedly rescue the survivors of Oceanic 815, but as we find out in this episode, that wasn't their only mission.
We start in a flashback with a shot from a camera on a remote controlled submarine, on the ocean floor, off the coast of Bali. The controllers are searching for gold doubloons or something when they come upon "the wreckage of Oceanic 815." A "wreckage" that's complete with bodies.
The sub controllers are stunned and before you know it, the news is flashing on television sets and newspaper front pages around the world. Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies), is watching a television report about the finding of the "wreckage" and inexplicably crying. When his wife asks him why, he says he doesn't know why. I sense a nut job in the making. And considering Davies played Charles Manson in a TV movie a few years ago, he's running true to form.
Flash forward to present day when Daniel's helicopter is about to crash in a heavy rainstorm. There's confusion and everybody's yelling and basically Daniel is shoved out of the copter. Luckily he has a parachute and lands safely on the ground. We then find out that this is Daniel's point of view of the scene right before Jack and Kate run out of the jungle to meet him. Before they get there, he removes a gun from his pack and puts it in the back of his pants.
"Are you Jack?"
"Yeah, I'm Jack. Who are you?"
"I'm Daniel Farady. I'm here to rescue you."
Opening credits.
Daniel, Jack and Kate are walking through the jungle and Daniel appears to be looking for something. Daniel uses Naomi's SAT phone to call the freighter out at sea. When Daniel turns around to speak to George on the boat, Jack notices Daniel's gun. Finished with his phone call, Daniel explains the helicopter was struck by lightening and he and his comrades had to parachute out. They can find each other via a transponder they all carry.
Meanwhile, back at Locke's March of the Hiding Losties, it's daylight and Locke himself is communing with the island. It's pouring rain and he has his face turned up to the sky to receive it. Just as Hurley tells him, yo Dude, aren't you smart enough to come in out of the rain, Locke says the rain is about to stop. And then it does. Gotta love that Locke. He lives and breathes island weather.
As the other Losties walk along there's a reappearance of doggie Vincent. Ah, Vincent. He always makes me think of Walt and how tall he is now and how he had to go off on that boat with his murdering father, Michael. Anyway, Locke says he wants to make a detour to a cabin. When Hurley says the cabin is in the other way, both Locke and Ben look at him strangely like he's not supposed to know where the cabin is at all. Hurley catching the vibe, says of course he meant the plane cabin.
Sawyer's not loving the idea of a detour and asks Locke, "Who you getting your orders from "Colonel Kurtz?" Heh.
"I got them from Walt," says Locke. All righty then.
Locke explains that a taller, and older Walt saved his life after Ben shot him. Then he told Locke to stop Naomi from bringing her people to the island. Sawyer doesn't believe Ben shot Locke until Locke shows him the bullet holes where the bullet passed through his body. "I'd be dead if I still had a kidney there."
At the beach, Sayid and Juliet are talking. After deciding Ben may not have been lying when he said the "rescuers" might want to do them harm, they go for the guns.
In the jungle, Jack and Kate find a banged up metal case with gas masks. When they question Daniel, he gets very nervous and says he didn't pack the cases. Jack then asks Daniel what he needs the gun for. Daniel, not the sharpest tool in the shed decides to tell the truth and says rescuing the Losties was not the Fearless Foursome's main objective. At that moment a transponder signal comes in and they go in search of the source. They end up
