Changes: Adam and Eve

Revision as of 03:47, 2 January 2009

Adam and Eve is the nickname that Locke gave for two corpses discovered by Jack and Kate in the cave. ("House of the Rising Sun") On these bodies, Jack found a small bag containing one white and one black rock.

They are skeletons found in the caves discovered by Jack in the episode "White Rabbit". They have not been seen since.
The bodies themselves were not discovered until the episode "House of the Rising Sun", when Jack returned to the caves to collect water.
They have been dead at least 40–50 years according to the deterioration of their clothing.
They were carrying one black and one white stone. Jack took these stones and neglected to mention them when Locke asked what had been discovered. See also: Black and white.
The religious nickname is taken from Adam and Eve of the Bible.
