Plot

Aftermath of Shannon

Realizing Ana Lucia shot Shannon, Sayid quickly pulls his gun on her. Eko stops him and, after a quick and muddy fight, Sayid is knocked unconscious.

Once Sayid is tied up, however, Eko carries Sawyer away to find the other survivors. Michael decides to give Sayid water, daring Ana Lucia to shoot him. Sayid asks Michael who Ana Lucia is and what happened to Walt. Michael replies that Ana Lucia is a survivor from the tail section of the plane and that the Others took Walt. Sayid reacts strongly and angrily to the news about Walt, remembering that he didn't believe Shannon when she said she saw Walt, believing him to be on the raft.

Ana Lucia tries to become an outcast

The rest of the group confronts Ana Lucia, asking her about "her plan." Making a deal with Michael for the release of Sayid, Ana Lucia demands supplies from the hatch (at least half of the camp's ammo, a big pack with blankets and clothes - "jeans and socks") so that she can live "alone" in the jungle, guilt-ridden and convinced that Sayid and the other survivors will not stop until they have avenged Shannon's death.

Ana Lucia's flashback

It is revealed, through flashbacks, that Ana Lucia was a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department who was shot by a burglar suspect with four hollow point bullets. After recovering, she is assigned an office job, but demands to get back into a patrol car. Her captain (played by Rachel Ticotin), who turns out to also be her mother, reluctantly allows it. On patrol, Ana Lucia responds to a domestic disturbance call, which proves to be too stressful, as the domestic shouting match causes Ana Lucia to lose her calm and draw her gun. Her partner orders her to holster her weapon, calling her by first name when she does not respond to "Officer Cortez." A police officer is a person who works for a police force. ...

Returning back to headquarters, Ana Lucia and her partner begin a discussion about her gun incident; however, it is cut short when Ana Lucia finds out the suspect that shot her has been caught. The suspect's name is Jason McCormick and, along with evidence from the crime scene and his confession, the only thing left is for Ana Lucia to identify him. She takes a look at the suspect and says, "It's not him." Despite objections by her mother, Ana Lucia stands by her claim and Jason is released.

Sawyer is treated at the hatch

While playing golf, Jack and Kate encounter Eko carrying Sawyer. They enter into the Swan hatch to treat Sawyer, interrupting Locke in the middle of a crossword puzzle. Locke stops to ask what happened, but Jack reminds him that the timer is going off. Jack tries to give Sawyer a pill for the infection, but he won't swallow it. When Jack instructs Kate to hold Sawyer's head up, she holds him and gently and affectionately whispers into his ear until he takes the pill. Jack reacts by saying that he "never learned the whole whisper-in-the-ear thing in med school." Golfer after swing. ...

Eko, walking around the interior of the Swan hatch, notices the DHARMA Initiative logo, likely recognizing the similarities between the Swan logo and the one that the tail end survivors found on their side of the island. He also finds the closet full of guns and displays a disapproving facial expression. Eko runs into Locke and the two stare at each other very strangely for several seconds. Eko tells Locke "a girl was shot and killed", describing her as "tall with blonde hair" whom Locke quickly identifies as Shannon, showing a sense of grief in his face. When asked if he could take Locke to the scene, Eko takes a quick look at the gun-rack and replies, "No." Title card from a DHARMA Initiative orientation film featured in the Lost episode Orientation The DHARMA Initiative ( Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative )[1] is a fictional research project featured in the American television series Lost. ...

Tensions build at the hatch

After being informed that Shannon has been killed and Sayid is held prisoner at gunpoint, Jack is furious. He demands Eko take him there, but Eko just sits in silence, telling Jack, "anything I say will only make you angrier". Michael suddenly bursts into the Swan hatch and tells Jack what happened. Jack grabs a rifle and a shotgun, gives the shotgun to Michael, and starts to make his way out of the hatch. Suddenly Eko screams "Stop!" and asks Jack what he's looking for. "Peace? Revenge? Justice?" Jack replies that he wants all his people back safely. Then Eko says, "Ana Lucia made a mistake."

It's obvious from Jack's surprise reaction that he knows her-- Jack is shown meeting and flirting with Ana Lucia at the airport lounge just prior to Flight 815 in Exodus. Eko agrees to take Jack out to where Sayid and Ana Lucia are in the jungle, but only Jack, and without any guns.

Sayid talks with Ana Lucia

Ana Lucia now begins to interrogate Sayid, first asking him the apparently odd question as to whether he has children. He answers no and poses the same question to Ana Lucia, and she awkwardly replies no. He asks her if she is going to kill him, and she retorts, "Should I?" Sayid now relates how almost 40 days ago on the island he tied a man (Sawyer) to a tree and tortured him, as he had done to many others in his lifetime, others whose voices: "I still hear at night." Clearly facing a lot of mental anguish, he says perhaps she should kill him, "perhaps you were meant to." Ana in response, relates her story, saying that during her shooting, all she heard was a pop and that by the time she hit the ground she thought she was dead. She continues saying she feels dead.

Sayid now asks what happened to her shooter and in the final flashback of the episode, Ana Lucia is seen apparently having followed Jason to a bar and waiting for him until the end of the night, at which point she follows him to the parking lot where they are alone. She draws his attention by shouting his name, and upon being asked "I know you?" she draws her gun and makes the simple statement, "I was pregnant." She then shoots him, three times at far range, dropping him, and fires three more times into him at point-blank. After a long pause, she tells Sayid that nothing happened to him and that they never found McCormick.

Reunited, new beginnings

Ana picks up Eko's machete-like blade, frees Sayid, drops both the machete and gun she was holding, and dares him to take his revenge saying, "go ahead, pick it up, I deserve it." Sayid refuses, saying, "What good would it be to kill you, if we're both already dead?" and walks away.
