'''Season 2, Episode 2'''

!Adrift
->Written by Leonard Dick & Steven Maeda.
->Directed by Stephan Williams.

In flashbacks, Michael consults his lawyer about Susan's request for him to give up his paternal rights. The lawyer warns Michael that he will have a costly uphill struggle for custody. In a deposition, Susan's lawyer browbeats Michael over not knowing anything about his son. Afterwards, Susan tells Michael privately that she thinks he's going to win if their case goes to court, and asks him to give up for Walt's sake. Michael reluctantly agrees, and says goodbye to Walt.

At the hatch, Kate disappears in a flash of light, and Locke follows her down. He finds her, and Desmond holds both of them at gunpoint. Desmond makes Locke tie Kate's hands behind her back and lock her in a closet. He discreetly slips her a pocket knife, which she uses to cut herself free. She crawls into an air vent. When an alarm sounds, Desmond forces Locke to enter the Numbers into the computer and press the execute button. A countdown clock flips back to 108 minutes. Desmond hears Jack's arrival, and drags Locke out at gunpoint, while Kate watches from the vent.

In the ocean, Sawyer finds Michael and drags him to a piece of driftwood. The two argue, with Michael blaming Sawyer for Walt's kidnapping. Sawyer removes the bullet lodged in his shoulder with his bare hands. They eventually float up to a beach, where Jin comes running out of the jungle, shouting "Others!" They are approached by a sinister-looking group of strangers.
