* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: When Jack does CPR, he goes ''way'' too slow. Current guidelines for CPR call for a rate of around 100 compressions a minute- 30 compressions, a pause to check for signs of life, then right back to chest compressions. Jack would be lucky to hit 1/3 of that, plus the fact that he stops frequently.

* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: Amidst the tension and action, Jack asks Kate about where he tracking skills came from, and Kate tells a story about going hiking with her father, giving Jack an honest look at what her pre-fugitive life was like.



* AmbiguousSituation: While searching for Ethan, Jack hears what sounds like a woman screaming in the distance, but Kate claims to have heard nothing; it's not clear if Jack actually heard Claire screaming or if he simply imagined it.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: When Walt theorizes that Ethan was already on the Island before the plane crash, Sawyer laughs and comments on Walt's imagination, despite having seen and heard plenty of unusual things on the Island himself (and knowing for a fact that at least one person was on the Island before the crash at some point). That said, a conversation with Sayid seems to convince Sawyer that it's at least a possibility.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite her endless snarking at him, Shannon is clearly worried sick about Boone when he and Locke have yet to return by nightfall.
* BattleInTheRain: Ethan ambushes Jack during a downpour, leading to a [[CurbStompBattle quick, one-sided fistfight]] that Jack loses.
* CassandraTruth: Locke honestly tells Boone that before the crash, he worked at a box company, which an incredulous Boone dismisses as a joke.



* DidntThinkThisThrough: Unwilling to let Ethan get any more of a lead than he already has, Jack charges off into the jungle in a general direction pointed out by Locke. He ends up finding nothing, and according to Locke, he wound up going in circles.



* DramaticIrony:
** When Jack starts asking about Ethan's whereabouts, Michael asks if Ethan is all right, unaware that Ethan himself, not his condition, is the cause for concern
** Walt comments that "it's stupid to lie about your name" to Sawyer, who has yet to tell anyone (except, implicitly, Hurley) his real name.



* {{Forgiveness}}: Despite claiming to be "fresh out of forgiveness", Sawyer does nothing to an injured Sayid and leaves by saying that, despite the torture he suffered at Sayid's hands, he kept the signal fire burning for as long as he could.



-->'''Jack:''' I'm not letting him do this. Not again.



* HonorBeforeReason: Jack ''insists'' on going after Charlie and Claire despite his lack of tracking skill and the fact that he is the survivors' only doctor. He ignores Locke's practical advice to go back in favor of pushing on, determined to rescue Charlie and Claire.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Christian is more angry at Jack taking over ''his'' operation than he is about the patient dying on the table, and he pressures Jack into lying on the record to preserve his reputation and keep his medical license. Even worse, Christian was ''aware'' that the patient was pregnant, and is still more concerned with his career than with the fact that he got her killed.
* ItsAllMyFault: Jack and Locke both blame themselves for Claire and Charlie's abduction, Jack for not believing Claire that someone attacked her, and Locke for feeling that he should have sensed something "off" about Ethan.
* LittleNo: Jack utters a horrified "no" when he and Kate find Charlie hanging by his neck.



* NothingIsScarier: The way Locke tells Jack to be quiet as they realize Charlie and Claire have been abducted. The hunt is on and Ethan can be anywhere around them.

to:

* NothingIsScarier: NeverMyFault: Christian refuses to accept responsibility for his patient's death, despite knowing that his state of inebriation was the cause, and he's fine with convincing Jack to lie on the record to avoid the consequences for his negligence.
* NothingIsScarier:
**
The way Locke tells Jack to be quiet as they realize Charlie and Claire have been abducted. The hunt is on and Ethan can be anywhere around them. them.
** It's heavily implied that Ethan had help abducting Charlie and Claire, but none of his accomplices are ever seen, and it's never made clear just how many "others" there might be.



* OhCrap: Sayid is startled when he wakes up and sees Sawyer standing over him.

to:

* OhCrap: OhCrap:
** When Jack and Locke realize that both Claire and Charlie are in danger from Ethan, they share a horrified look and the next shot has them racing through the jungle to try and find their friends.

Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Boone lampshades the RedShirt trope, explicitly mentioning ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''.


Added DiffLines:

* ToughLove: Christian frames his harsh treatment of Jack as this, claiming that his rearing is why Jack is such a talented surgeon. As he's saying this while pressuring Jack into lying to save Christian's own license and reputation, it's not clear how sincere any of it is.
* UngratefulBastard: Despite the fact that he was drunk during the procedure, Christian is incensed that Jack came to try and take over to save the patient. He even tries to get the name of the nurse who alerted Jack to Christian's condition, implying that he would get her in trouble for fetching Jack.

* FreudianExcuse: The script makes it more clear why Jack is so determined to find Claire and how it ties in which his flashbacks. After learning that the patient was pregnant, he realizes that his father's negligence destroyed an entire family before it could begin. He tries to find Claire because he doesn't want to lose another pregnant woman in his care.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In the flashbacks, Christian convinces Jack to sign a statement about the patient's death, even though he knows his father's drinking was directly responsible. However, when he learns that the patient was actually pregnant, Jack tells the truth to a committee hearing.

By the time I got there it was clear that my father was not only incapacitated, but that he had also severed the patient's hepatic artery, which, in my professional opinion, caused the crisis which led to her death.

* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: Averted and played straight.
** In Jack's flashbacks, he attempts CPR on the patient even while she's flatlining and it's quite clear they didn't save her.
** After finding Charlie, Jack again tries CPR to save him. When it doesn't work, he resorts to violent precordial thumps until he starts breathing again.

However, he also learns that Sayid has returned and goes to confront him. In the jungle, Locke and [[{{Foreshadowing Boone}}]] [[ConversationalTroping talk]] [[CelebrityParadox about]] [[RedShirt redshirts]] and their lives before the plane crash; Boone doesn't believe Locke's claim that he worked for a box company, instead guessing that he was "either a taxidermist or a hitman". Elsewhere, Jack and Kate follow their trail, though Kate is less confident in her tracking skills than Locke. She tells the increasingly obsessive Jack that she picked up her skills from her father, an Army Ranger, when she was a child, and asks if there's anything ''he'' wants to tell her.
