Locke begins to suffer physical difficulties when it comes to walking as he and Boone try to find a way into the hatch. They go further into the island as Locke thinks he's being sent a sign on how to get the hatch open. Jack is reluctant to offer assistance when Sawyer begins to experience excruciating headaches and needs glasses. In this episode we learn more about Lockes' paralyzing past due to his biological parents scheming him, interrelating with the events around the hatch. Lastly, at the end of Locke confronting his troubled past and struggle to open the hatch Boone is seriously injured after an accident involving a plane that they found in the forest.
The mystery thickens as lots of new and unexplainable things happen. When the light in the hatch goes on, it just adds more to the mystery that is the island. They keep us wanting to know more and more without really explaining anything. And therein lies the whole charm of the series, it divulges small things, only to reveal even more mysterious things just when you thought you started to get a grip on things. Genius. They can string us along as long as they want and then change it to anything they want. I bet this series will be on for years and years, without letting us know anything really about the mysterious island. Or will it be a season-ending cliffhanger that will ensure ABC the highest ratings in years as next season starts? I'd bet the proverbial farm on that...
