In "Deus Ex Machina," Boone mentions that in his childhood he had a nanny named Theresa, upon whom he took out his frustrations at the absence of his mother.

Boone Carlyle was the chief operating officer of his mother's wedding business, a position that he assumed shortly after the death of his stepfather, and is the same company that organized Jack's wedding. Boone harbors a fondness for his stepsister Shannon, which develops into a romantic attraction. When Boone learns of Shannon’s financial difficulties after her father’s death he offered to give her money, but she does not accept ("Abandoned"). Boone rescued Shannon several times from abusive relationships by paying the boyfriends to leave her. One such rescue attempt leads Boone to Sydney, where he learns that the relationships are actually scams concocted by Shannon (who perceives and exploits his love for her) to get his money and attention. Boone is deeply hurt by the deception. A Chief Operating Officer (COO) is a corporate officer responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of the corporation. ...

At the airport ("Exodus: Part 1"), Boone enquires about buying first class tickets. When he and Shannon are unable to, Shannon demands Boone speak to them again, but Boone refuses, saying that she can't tell people what to do. They then walk by Paulo and Nikki in the airport cafe. Boone asks to borrow chairs from their table, but Shannon loses patience, accuses him of flirting with Paulo, and charges off ("Exposé"). While they argue, Shannon turns Sayid over to security, in an attempt to prove that she is able to have her way, much to Boone's resentment. Later, just before take off, Boone hands Shannon her inhaler after she frantically starts looking for it, knowing that she would forget it.

After the crash

Boone becomes Locke's protégé.

After the crash, Boone is seen trying to perform CPR on an unconscious Rose, which he claims to have learned from when he was a lifeguard, but is deceived by Jack to retrieve a pen, encountering a bewildered Nikki in the process. The next day, he joins the party trying to send a radio distress call (“Pilot: Part 2”). He attempts, unsuccessfully, to save a survivor named Joanna from drowning, and later, when bringing water to Claire, is accused of stealing from the camp water supply (“White Rabbit”). Boone maintains a generally helpful attitude and remains protective of Shannon (although he criticizes her for her affectedness). His protective attitude combines with jealousy when she develops feelings for Sayid, and Boone unsuccessfully attempts to discourage the relationship.

Boone is drawn to the hunting and survival skills of Locke, a fellow castaway. He eventually becomes Locke’s protégé and begins to distance himself from the other survivors. Boone and Locke find a metal hatch while tracking the kidnapped Claire and Charlie (“All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues”). The two begin excavating the hatch, keeping its existence a secret from the other survivors. Locke subjects Boone to a hallucinatory exercise that allows Boone to resolve his feelings for Shannon ("Hearts and Minds"). In "Deus Ex Machina," Boone and Locke discover a heroin runner's Beechcraft stuck high in a tree canopy. Boone climbs up into the aircraft and finds a working radio in the cockpit, which he uses to transmit a Mayday signal. He receives a response to his message by a man, later revealed to be Bernard ("The Other 48 Days"), but the aircraft unbalances and falls nose-first to the ground. Boone sustains severe injuries and, despite Jack’s extensive attempts to treat him, dies in "Do No Harm." His last words are "Tell Shannon..." but he dies before he can finish the sentence.

Boone, as he appears in Locke's hallucination

In "Further Instructions", Locke experiences a self-induced hallucination, where Boone appears and puts him in a wheelchair. He pushes Locke through an imaginary Sydney International Airport, where the other survivors are present but acting in different roles. Boone tells Locke that he has to help someone, but everyone that Locke recognizes is not the person. Boone vanishes and appears at the top of an escalator, and when Locke crawls up to the top, Boone appears bloody and injured, just like when he died. He says that Locke needs to clean up his own mess, and Locke awakens from the hallucination. Further Instructions is the third episode of the third season of Lost. ...

Trivia

• Boone frequently wears a t-shirt with Chinese characters meaning 84, which are two of the numbers that frequently appear throughout the show.
• There is some confusion over the orientation of Boone, and of Boone's last name, "Carlyle" or "Carlisle." The stronger case is for "Carlyle," which appears on the official website, on Boone's checkbook ("The Greater Good"), and on his grave ("Abandoned"). "Carlisle" appears on the subtitles on the DVD of "Hearts and Minds".
• Ian Somerhalder as Boone Carlyle has now appeared five times since his death in Do No Harm and burial in The Greater Good. He appeared in, "Exodus: Part 1 & 2", "Abandoned", "Further Instructions" and "Exposé".
