9	Flashbacks cover the period of 13 days in which Michael was missing. After receiving a message from Walt saying where to find him, he is captured by the Others. He meets Alex, who asks if Claire is ok. He is brought to a senior Other named Ms. Klugh, who asks him questions about Walt's powers. He is allowed to see Walt, and is told that they will be allowed to leave the Island if he sets Henry free and brings Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley to the Others.

11	In the present, Michael tries to persuade those four to come with him to look for Walt, and insists that nobody else comes along. Hurley demands time to bury Ana Lucia and Libby first. Eko upsets Charlie by moving into the Swan and leaving him to complete the Church by himself. Charlie finds Sawyer's stash of heroin statues, and tosses them into the sea.

13	Sayid wants to come with the group to rescue Walt, but Michael refuses. Sayid tells Jack he thinks Michael has been compromised, but refrains from telling him they're on to him. At Ana Lucia and Libby's funeral, the survivors see a sailboat approach the beach.
14	----
15	!Tropes in this episode include:
16	* CallBack: Ms. Klugh questions Michael about Walt's childhood, and when he admits he wasn't present she comments on how little he knows about a child he wants to find so badly. This scene echoes the custody hearing between Michael and Susan seen in a flashback in "[[Recap/LostS02E02Adrift Adrift]]" where Susan's lawyer commented on how little Michael knew about Walt.
17	* CallForward: When Walt gets uncooperative, Ms. Klugh warns that he may have to go back in "the room". This is certainly a reference to the room we see in future episodes where Alex's boyfriend Karl is getting TheLudovicoTechnique, implying that Walt had been put in there too.
18	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Jack tells Sawyer that he and Kate were "caught in a net." He means this literally, but Sawyer thinks it's a euphemism for sex.
19	-->'''Sawyer:''' Is that what they're calling it these days?
20	* TheLoad: Sawyer finds it odd that Michael is so insistent on bringing Hurley on what is clearly going to be a combat-heavy rescue mission over Sayid, who has military experience.
21	* NatureTinkling: Michael catches Pickett urinating on a tree.
22	* OnceMoreWithClarity: Michael's perspective on Jack's meeting with Mr. Friendly in "[[{{Recap/LostS02E11TheHuntingParty}} The Hunting Party]]" reveals that he was being kept prisoner by the Others within earshot of the entire scene, and actually saw Kate captured with a bag over her head, but was threatened to prevent him from alerting her to his presence. It also confirms that the "Alex" that Mr. Friendly shouted out to is Rousseau's daughter, the [[{{Recap/LostS02E15MaternityLeave}} girl who saved Claire from the Staff]], although another Other named Pickett ends up bringing Kate out instead of her.
23	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Michael is confused when he sees the name James Ford on the list of survivors he has to bring to the Others, before Ms. Klugh tells him that he knows him as Sawyer.
24	* UnusualEuphemism: Sawyer mistakenly believes that Jack's description of how he and Kate were caught in a net in "[[{{Recap/LostS02E19SOS}} S.O.S.]]" is one of these. He later uses it himself to describe his own tryst with Ana Lucia.
25	-->'''Sawyer:''' I screwed her[...] We got caught in a net.
