Changes: Beatrice Klugh

Revision as of 18:03, 29 April 2007

Bea Klugh was a member of the Others who seemed to have authority on a similar level to Tom. On her first appearance, she introduced herself as Ms. Klugh, and Bea was revealed to be her first name by Tom at a later date. She appears to have been shot dead at the Flame by Mikhail to prevent the Losties from reaching the Barracks.

On the Island

Season 2

When Michael was brought to the Others' camp by Tom, he met Ms. Klugh who asked Michael several questions about Walt, including:

"Are you his biological father?"
"How old was Walt when he first started speaking?"
"Did he have any illnesses growing up?"
"Headaches? Fainting spells?"

Her most notable question was, "Did he ever appear anywhere he wasn't supposed to be?", possibly referring to Walt being seen by some of the survivors after the raft was blown up in the water. Another possibility is a reference to the phenomenon of bilocation. When Ms. Klugh asks Michael this question, he hesitates out of surprise, and possibly an unwillingness to acknowledge that Walt had in fact appeared to him at some point. The notion of bilocation also fits Shannon and Sayid's experience of seeing Walt in the jungle when he was, at the same time, on the Others' boat. ("Abandoned")

2X22 KlughList — Ms. Klugh shows Michael the List. ("Three Minutes")

After a week, Michael was being held captive in one of the Others' huts. As Ms. Klugh entered in order to give Michael his dinner, he demanded again to see his son. Ms. Klugh finally agreed to let them see each other, for three minutes only. ("Three Minutes")

She called Pickett to bring the boy in, and watched the emotional reunion between the two. When Walt began to reveal the Others are "pretending", meaning they're not who they say they are, and that they make him take tests, Ms. Klugh announced, "We are not going to talk about that," and had Walt taken out of the hut, but not before she threatened to send him back to "the Room" if he did not behave. As Walt was taken away, Michael reluctantly agreed to Klugh's demands: release an Other who was captured by Michael's people, and then bring four of his friends, whose names were on a list, to the Others' camp - Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, James Ford and Hugo Reyes. ("Three Minutes")

After three days, Michael led the four other survivors to the Others' camp, only to discover that Jack knew he had betrayed them and did not reveal anything to the other castaways because he already had a plan. Once they reached the Capsule Dump they were attacked by the Others, who drugged them and took them to the Pala Ferry dock. Once there, Kate told Tom they know the beard he is wearing is fake. Tom did not understand her, as she was gagged, so Ms. Klugh repeated Kate's revelation, saying, "She says she knows your beard's fake, Tom." An irritated Tom removed his beard, and says sarcastically, "Thanks for telling them my name, Bea." ("Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1")

3X11 KlughSayid — Bea being held hostage by Sayid.

Season 3

Kate and Sayid entered the basement of the Flame searching for other "hostiles" who may have been present there along with Mikhail Bakunin. Upon entering the basement, Sayid and Kate spread out and while Kate was searching through a rack of DHARMA Initiative uniforms, Bea leaped out and pounced on her. After a short scuffle, in which Bea had the upperhand, Sayid arrived, stopped the fight and held Bea at gunpoint.

After Kate recovered from the ambush, she recognized Bea from Pala Ferry as one of the Others who had been involved in her kidnapping and with this realization proceeded to punch her twice in the face.

After this, Sayid and Kate ascended to the upper level of the Flame with Bea as a hostage. They came upon Mikhail, who was holding Locke as a hostage and during the confrontation, Bea and Mikhail began shouting to each other in Russian and towards the end of their conversation Bea demanded for him to "do it". He then shot and apparently killed her. ("Enter 77")

It is assumed that she had ridden to the Flame by horse.

Name

Bea is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "bringer of joy".
Klugh is of German origin and means "noble" or "refined".

Trivia

Her last name is pronounced kloo, as in "clue", which may be intended as a pun: Bea Klugh - "Be a clue."
The questions she asked Michael about Walt were very similar to the questions Walt's mother's lawyer had asked years before. ("Three Minutes")
April Grace revealed in a "Lost: The Official Magazine" article that she had to fill in Klugh's back story, and decided that Klugh is an ex-nun.
