episode 13

"Hearts and Minds"
Air Date: 01/12/2005

Boone's eye opens -- he's staring at something. From his POV we see Sayid enjoying an easy conversation with his sister, Shannon. Hurley interrupts Boone, asking him why he and Locke haven't brought back any boars lately? Boone is offended and tells Hurley that hunting boar isn't as easy as he thinks. Hurley reminds Boone that everybody needs protein -- this isn't a game.

We FLASHBACK to a posh tennis club. Boone is just leaving the court with a lady friend when he gets a call on his cell phone. It's Shannon - - she's crying and we can hear shouting in the background. She begs Boone for help, asking him to come and get her. Boone asks her where she is and the answer serves as another piece of the LOST puzzle falling into place: "Sydney."

Back on the island, Boone confronts Sayid and tells her to stay away from his sister. Sayid doesn't seem the least bit intimidated, but Boone isn't backing down either. Before push comes to shove Locke calls Boone away, they have work to do. While trudging through the jungle, Locke counsels Boone not to make an enemy out of Sayid -- they are going to need him on their side…later. For now the important thing is to get back to the hatch.

Hurley finds Jack and asks him if he has anything to help his upset stomach. Jack asks Hurley a few questions and we discover the cause of his distress. Hurley has been eating nothing but fruit for the last week and his stomach is starting to complain -- they need protein, but there hasn't been any boar. Jack tells him to go and ask Jin for some fish, but Hurley tells Jack that Jin has it in for him because he refused to eat the sea urchin Jin caught the day they crashed. Later, when Jack recounts this story to Kate, she offers about a more disturbing possibility for the lack of boar meat lately. "What if Locke is not catching them on purpose?"

Meanwhile, back in the jungle, Locke and Boone contemplate how to open the hatch when we…

FLASHBACK to a house in Australia. When Boone rings the bell, Shannon's boyfriend, Brian answers. Boone enters looking for Shannon and when she arrives in the room, she looks surprised to see him. Boone reminds her of her frantic call to his cell phone, but she clams up and asks him to leave. While Brian has his back to her, Shannon pulls back her hair to reveal a nasty-looking bruise on her face -- a silent cry for help to Boone.

Back on the beach, Hurley's desperation has forced him to approach Jin. He asks him to teach him how to fish, but Jin has no idea what Hurley is saying. Still, as Jin walks to the water for day's fishing, Hurley is following close behind.

At the hatch, Boone tries to convince Locke to tell the others about their discovery. If not everyone else, at least Shannon. Locke tells Boone she isn't ready to know ant that telling her now will only cause problems, but Boone insists -- he's going to tell her when they get back to camp. Locke feels that Shannon has too large an influence over Boone's life, but tells him the decision is his. But when Boone starts off again down the trail, Locke whacks him over the head with the handle of a knife, knocking him out cold.

Boone wakes up to find he is tied to a tree. Locke sits before him mixing a strange concoction in a coconut bowl. Boone begs Locke to untie him, but Locke refuses and then comes over and spreads some of his concoction over Boone's open head wound. Locke tells Boone that he is on his own and he leaves a knife…just out of Boone's reach. "You can cut yourself free and make your way back to camp," Locke says, "With the proper motivation."

We FLASHBACK to Boone at an Australian police station. While attempting to file a complaint against Brian, we learn an interesting bit of information. Shannon and Boone are not blood related - - his mother married her father when they were children. The police can't help Boone, so he decides to take another approach. He finds Brian at work on the docks and tells him to get out of Shannon's life. When Brian scoffs, telling Boone that he loves Shannon, Boone decides to get to the point and asks what his love is worth. Showing his true colors, Brian names his price - - $50,000 US dollars.

Back on the island, Kate and Sun are working in a garden that Sun has made. Kate is taking advantage of the safety zone (Sun can't understand her) and is speaking freely about herself. When she says something funny, Sun can't help but laugh and Kate realizes that Sun can speak English. Sun begs Kate not to tell anyone.

Meanwhile, back at the beach, Hurley is trying his best to mimic everything Jin does in an attempt to catch some fish of his own. Having no luck at all, he throws down his makeshift net in frustration and storms back to the beach, but he steps on a sea urchin and howls out in pain. Jin helps him back to the beach and Hurley begs him to urinate on his foot in order to prevent infection. English or no, Jin understands this request…and flatly refuses.

Back in the jungle, Boone struggles to free himself, but there is no way of reaching the knife. Suddenly, he hears Shannon screaming from another part of the jungle. When he asks her for help, she tells him that she is tied up too. And there's a bigger problem…the monster is back. And it's coming their way! Now with Shannon's safety in mind, Boone is able to contort himself just enough to get the knife and he cuts himself loose before following Shannon's screams to her locations and cutting her loose as well. There is not a second to spare and they both sprint off to avoid the monster hot on their heels. They hide in a mangrove trunk and pray the monster will go away.

We FLASHBACK to the same house in Australia. Boone has paid Brian off and is coming to collect Shannon and her things. But Shannon looks guilty and we learn why when Brian comes into the room and lays it all out for Boone -- he's been had. Shannon orchestrated the whole drama in an attempt to get money from Boone's mother. Boone is humiliated and his emotions get the better of him, resulting in a fight between him and Brian. Brian leaves the house bloodied and dejected.

Back in the jungle, the coast is clear. As Boone and Shannon make their way along the trail, Boone tells Shannon all about the hatch.

Jack and Charlie make a fire on the beach and jack asks Charlie for his opinion on Locke. Charlie doesn't hesitate to say that Locke is the one man on the island that he would trust his life to.

Kate and Sun continue to talk about the English secret. When Kate asks why Sun doesn't tell Jin, Sun tells Kate it's because she loves him -- asking Kate, "Haven't you ever lied to a man you loved?" But we're not getting that answer yet…

Back at camp, Hurley is sharing his tail of failure and sea urchin to Michael when Jin arrives and presents Hurley with his very own fish. He may not speak English, but he recognizes that Hurley made a good effort and this is his reward.

In the jungle Boone and Shannon are attacked by the monster again. And this time, try as they might they can't run fast enough and Shannon is snatched up by the beast. As Boone screams after her…

We FLASHBACK to Boone's hotel room in Sydney. He is packing when there is a knock on the door -- it's Shannon. She tells him that Brian took off with the money and now Shannon has no place to go. The player got played. Shannon latches on to Boone telling him that she knew he would bring the money…because he is in love with her. He always has been. Boone tells her she is drunk and crazy, but she comes closer and closer and Boone can't help himself. They fall into a passionate kiss, but the next morning, Shannon is ice cold towards Boone and tells him she wants things to go back the way they were, regardless of Boone's feelings.

Back on the island, Boone continues his desperate search for Shannon. But when he finds her bloody, crumpled body lying by the stream we all know he is too late. Booone weeps as she dies in his arms.

Later, finally making his way back to camp, Boone sees Locke sitting by the fire and attacks him, blaming Locke for Shannon's death. When Boone tells Locke that Shannon died in his arms, Locke asks Boone why there is no blood on him. And there isn't any! Just as Boone is going to ask what happened, Shannon comes into view. She's alive and well and chatting happily with Sayid. Locke tells Boone that the concoction he spread on his head wound was a hallucinogenic that allowed Boone to have his "vision." When he asks Boone how he felt when Shannon died, Boone can't help but give the honest answer… "I felt relieved." Satisfied that Boone has finally learned to let go of Shannon, Locke tells Boone to "follow me." After a final look at his sister, the disciple follows his master back into the woods.

So "whatever" it is responds to fear and anger by creating delusions and if you eat too much fruit and not enough fish things can get stinky.

 

[Grizzman]

From the last episode, it appears Locke is creating a following. The people that believe in him are almost fanatical. I see him seperating from the group and creating a cult of people who worship him. Just a thought that popped up after charlies' comment and Boone's realization at the end.
Locke said lets go and Boone followed him. After all the shit he was put through, he followed him! Didn't even ask a question.
Of course Locke is more of the evil cult leader as opposed to good. This is demonstrated in his reference to "needing" syiad(?) on "their" side. He doesn't want him to believe him. He just doesn't want him as an enemy.
What do y'all think about that scenerio?

And here I thought everybody knew too much fiber is like a human pipe cleaner.

 

[Lawler]

Thanks, guyinbsmt!

I had no idea ABC bothered to write more than a one-paragraph summary of their own shows.

That could be kinda cool.

I don't think Hurley got to be that size by being up-to-speed on dietary facts.

 

[Lasz]

That's one of the things that I really like about the show. You get this sense of people's personalities and relationships, and then you get the back story. Makes you rethink your opinion.

I was shocked when they did the backstory on the Asian couple. From my perspective, they were this close couple, totally in love, etc. And then you find out he was beating the crap out of her on a regular basis.

I was more suprised with Locke's backstory. You think the guy was really weird until you find out where he is coming from. The guy became likeable at that point.

 

[The Mutt]

Damn! That was the sweetest car flop I've ever seen!

 

[restlessnights]

I do not like that shannon girl. Is Claire the pregnant one? What happened to her?

 

[Agent99]

She's baaaaaaaack!

 

[Lasz]

Claire was kidnapped by a man that was not on the plane with them. No one knows where the guy came from. He also almost killed Charlie.

 

[Lawler]

Worst CGI polar bear ever.

Other than that, I liked the episode. And here I thought Michael was a deadbeat dad.

That comment about Walt...wow.

 

[Wrong Element]

I'm starting to think Walt is the reason that they're all in their current fix.

 

[Lawler]

I'm starting to think Walt is the reason that they're all in their current fix.

At the very least, they want us to think that.

What if he brought the plane down with his creepy bird-killing will?

And I still don't get the baby/psychic thing. This show is Twin Peaks with flashbacks. It had better not flake out in the end.

 

[The Mutt]

More and more I'm starting to think that the people on the island are "making" things happen. If the polar bear comic book was just foreshadowing, it was as heavy-handed as it gets.

 

[Grizzman]

Worst CGI polar bear ever.

Other than that, I liked the episode. And here I thought Michael was a deadbeat dad.

That comment about Walt...wow.

Yeah he was kinda cute like the coca cola bear.

Locke was right that micheal was treating walt improperly. When walt was giving him all that attitude, a solid slap would have ended the conversation. And there would be no more struggle between father and son.

Did y'all notice how boone followed locke about like a puppy. I believe at some point the main island folk will devise a means to leave the island(micheal started the ball rolling), but locke and his cohorts will thwart it, thus creating a solid conflict that'll divide the survivors.

When are they going to develop some kind of government. So much goes on that you'd think they would bring the subject up.

 

[gypsywitch]

So is the kid creating everything then? I'm still not sure.

So next week is the re-run of the who Said trip I guess. All I can ever think of is his role in Kama Sutra... glad he hasn't been too type-cast though.

I don't think he creates things. I think he draws them to him.

 

[guyinbsmt]

Damn! That was the sweetest car flop I've ever seen!

I recorded it cuz I was working,,,,,I watched that flop over and over, sick yes but I could'nt help it. It was a great car flop

 

[gypsywitch]

OH!

I don't think he creates things. I think he draws them to him.

Well that's going to make for a very cool ending then.

 

[Grizzman]

Re: OH!

Well that's going to make for a very cool ending then.

They'll get off the island cap'n Jack Sparrow style. Draw in some turtles, lash on a harness, and ride'm back to civilization.

 

[HornyHenry]

Love Lost, but...

At the very least, they want us to think that.

What if he brought the plane down with his creepy bird-killing will?

And I still don't get the baby/psychic thing. This show is Twin Peaks with flashbacks. It had better not flake out in the end.

I agree that they they'd better not screw it up like Twin Peaks, or I'm gonna be seriously pissed! TP teased and morphed so much that even the writers didn't know what was going on in the end.

I like the mystery and twists in LOST. Hope they have a direction in mind.

 

[gypsywitch]

They're not going to do a take on the Giant Pink Sea Snail eh Griz?
