Disc 3
9. Solitary.
Sayid Flashbacks: Sayid helped childhood friend Nadia escape from the Republic Guard, instead of sending her to her execution.

John & Ethan find a bag while hunting, containing golf clubs. Hurley starts a big game.
Sayid follows a cable into a trap set by the French woman, Danielle Rousseau. At first, she disbelieves Sayid's story, and asks him where Alex is. She reveals she was part of a shipwrecked science team including her husband Robert, whom she killed when he succumbed to "the sickness". She refers to "others" as "carriers", and she can hear them whisper in the forest. When they hear a loud roar outside her cabin, she says there's no such thing as monsters. She lets Sayid leave, warning him to watch his people carefully and that Alex is her child. Once he's alone Sayid hears the whispers all around him.

10. Raised By Another.
Claire Flashbacks: Claire is dumped by boyfriend Thomas once she's pregnant, but a psychic, Richard Malkin, warns her she must be the one to raise the baby, as danger surrounds him. She backs out of an adoption, then Malkin tells her he's arranged an adoption in LA, but she must get a specific flight.

Jack is dubious when Claire claims to have been attacked in her sleep. The attack prompts Hurley to create a census. Boone suggests comparing that list to the plane manifest, and Hurley discovers that someone on the island wasn't on the plane.
Jack tries to sedate Claire so she leaves and Charlie goes after her. When Claire goes into labour, Charlie goes to get Jack, but then sees Ethan and sends him instead. After a while, Ethan returns... alone.

11. All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues.
Jack Flashbacks: Jack reports his father's drinking problem when his drunken surgery causes the death of a patient.

Search parties set out to find Claire and Charlie once they discover Ethan wasn't on the plane. Jack gets impatient with Locke, but confesses to Kate he feels bad that he didn't believe Claire's stories of attack.
Walt proves to be very lucky (mentioning his "other dad", Brian) in a game of backgammon against Hurley.
Jack catches up to Ethan who warns him to stop following him. They fight, Jack is knocked unconscious. He and Kate discover Charlie's body hanging from a tree, but eventually revive him. Charlie says "all they wanted was Claire".
Boone and Locke discover something metal buried in the ground.

12. Whatever The Case May Be.
Kate flashbacks: Kate helps rob a bank to get to a safety deposit box containing a small green envelope.

The tide is coming in further each day, forcing them all to move off the beach into the jungle. Rose befriends Charlie, snapping him out of his silent guilt over Claire. She still has faith her husband Bernard is alive.
Sayid gets Shannon to help him translate some maps and papers he took from Rousseau. The notations are the lyrics to the French version of Beyond The Sea.
Sawyer and Kate discover a waterfall with dead bodies from the crash under the water. Kate recognises a briefcase but Sawyer takes it, trying (and failing) to open it. Jack and Kate exhume the marshal's body for the case's key. Despite her suspicious behaviour, the case only contains money, guns and a toy plane. Kate says it belonged to the man she loved. When Jack says he doesn't believe her, she corrects "loved" to "killed".
