* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In Miles's flashback, he helps an old woman by convincing her deceased grandson's spirit to stop haunting her house. In later episodes, Miles's psychic powers are explicitly limited to reading the final thoughts and actions of a dead body he has access to, the way he does with Naomi on the Island, and he pointedly dismisses the idea of communicating with actual spirits as impossible.

!Confirmed Dead
In flashbacks, the remains of Oceanic 815, with all passengers confirmed dead on board, are found at the bottom of the ocean. A physicist named Daniel Faraday watches a news broadcast about the story and cries, but does not understand why. Miles Straume visits a woman and helps clear the spirit of her dead son from her home. Charlotte Lewis, an archaeologist, finds the remains of a polar bear wearing a DHARMA Initiative collar in the Sahara Desert. Frank Lapidus, watching the Oceanic story on the news, calls an information hotline and tells them that the man they have said is the pilot is not really him, and that he knows this because he was supposed to be flying Oceanic 815. Naomi meets with Abaddon, and expresses skepticism about these people making up the freighter's science team.
On the Island, a helicopter flown by Lapidus is caught in a storm, with Daniel, Miles and Charlotte bailing out with parachutes at the last minute. Daniel is found by Jack and Kate. He introduces himself and asks for their assistance in tracking down the rest of the team. They find Miles, who tells them Naomi's last words were a coded distress message and demands to be taken to her body. When he gets to it, he confirms that she was killed by Locke and that he is no longer with the survivors. The group discovers that Locke has Charlotte. They find Frank, who has landed the helicopter safely.
Locke brings his group to where the Cabin should be, but it has vanished. They find Charlotte, and give her tracking device to Vincent to send her team on a wild goose chase. Ben steals a gun from Karl and shoots Charlotte, but she is saved by a bulletproof vest. Locke is about to execute Ben, but stops when Ben informs them of information about the freighter, and that he has a spy on the boat.
