14	-> Okay. See, we did crash, but it was on this crazy island. And we waited for rescue, and [[spoiler:there wasn't any rescue]]. And there was a [[spoiler:smoke monster]], and then there were [[spoiler:other people]] on the island. We called them [[spoiler:the Others]], and they started [[spoiler:attacking us]].

And once they are able to metaphorically find themselves in their lives again, they will be able to physically find themselves in the world again. When you look at the entire show, that's what it will look like. That's what it's always been about.''
