Synopsis
Flashback
Charlie on the plane
Failed rock star, Charlie Pace, sits grimacing in his seat on Oceanic Flight 815. The stewardess asks if he is alright, but is curtly brushed off. She heads to the back of the plane, and Charlie looks round to see her commenting to her fellow attendants about him. Tapping his ring against the seat erratically, he sees them all move towards him, and runs to the toilets at the front of the aircraft, knocking Jack Shephard, Boone Carlyle and Shannon Rutherford as he goes. In first-class, Charlie manages to find a vacant restroom, and pulls heroin from his shoe, which he ingests. With an attendant knocking on the door, Charlie reluctantly decides to stash the drugs in the room. Moments later, he is thrown against the ceiling as the flight experiences extreme turbulence, and is thrusted out. He manages to crawl through the aisle to find an empty seat, and straps himself in.
Kate Austen sits next to the injured man on the plane, and turns down the offer of a drink by a stewardess. He mocks her while she reveals her hands for a moment, cuffed together. As the plane starts to experience some turbulence, Kate says she has one favour to ask of her captor. Before she can elaborate, passengers begin to fly around the aisles as the plane begins to break-up. In the midst of the chaos, a briefcase in the overhead compartment flies down, smacking the man on the head. As he reflexes, blood pours down the side of his face. Gas masks fall down, and Kate tries with all her strength to reach them, fighting the confines of her restraints. Pulling the keys from the man’s pocket, she undoes the handcuffs, and places a mask on her captor before getting one for herself. She sits in shock as the tail of the plane literally breaks apart from the mid-section.
Realtime events
The episode opens where the last ended - Jack Shephard, Kate and Charlie are making their way back to the beach, and Jack is trying to get a signal on the transceiver. Charlie pesters him for news of any progress. Meanwhile, Walt discovers some handcuffs whilst searching for his lost dog. When he and Michael return, Sayid and Sawyer are fighting on the beach, because Sawyer had suggested Sayid is a criminal and crashed the plane. When it is broken up, Jack gives the radio to Sayid, who appears to have some knowledge on electronics. While Sayid is trying to fix the radio, Hurley approaches him and asks him about his past. He tells Hurley that he was a former communications officer with the Iraqi Republican Guard.

Sayid, Kate, Charlie, Boone, Sawyer, and Shannon, take the transceiver inland in an attempt to use it to communicate with the outside world. On the way they had been attacked by an unseen animal, which Sawyer kills with a gun. When they look down at the dead animal, they discover with shock that it is a polar bear. Sawyer tells the others he got the gun from the body of a dead marshal. Who is the prisoner he was transporting? Accusations are made between the survivors.
Back at camp, Walt and Locke play backgammon and slowly seem to become friends. Sun and Jin continue to have marital issues, while Jin tries to give others freshly cut fish. Jack tries to operate on the shrapnel man without most medical supplies. The man comes around during the operation, demanding "Where is she?".
Sayid's effort to send a message to civilization is blocked by a mysterious transmission in French that has been repeating for over 16 years. It is revealed by Boone that Shannon had spent a year in France and thus should be able to understand the transmission. She attempts to translate the message as best she can. Shannon translates a part of the message as "It killed them, it killed them all" before the transceiver's battery goes dead, prompting Charlie to ask the question everyone has been thinking: "Guys, where are we?"
Trivia
- The French transmission was dubbed in German for the French version.
- If Sayid's prediction of the French transmission being on a loop for 16 years is correct, then the recording was most likely made in 1984. Interestingly, this is the same year as dates on the blast door map allude a "shutdown date" or "incident" to.
