Lost: episode 21 -- "?" -- The Question Mark
Lost summary: “?”
This is an Eko flashback.
Eko had a dream about Yemi and Ana-Lucia (remember that Ana died a few minutes ago Lost-time). Yemi asked Eko to help Locke. Yemi said that Locke has lost his way and asked him to make Locke to bring him to the question mark.
Kate, Jack, Sawyer and Locke went through the jungle to the hatch. They saw Michael coming out of the Hatch. Michael told them that FHG shot him and the others. Eko was there as well. They went back to the hatch and saw Ana-Lucia on the sofa and Libby lying on the floor.
Kate went to check Ana-Lucia’s pulse and announced her dead. Sawyer went to check on Libby. Libby is not dead. She is coughing up blood. Eko said a prayer for Ana-Lucia. Locke and Eko went to look for FHG. Jack told them that if they find anything, come back to the hatch so they will decide what to do together. Eko only went with Locke because of his dream. [The conversations between Locke and Eko are so funny!!! First, it was the Hello! in the earlier episodes in season 2.] In the forest, Eko asked Locke “Where is the question mark?” LOL!!… (hahaha…I can’t help but laugh here…). Locke told him that he does not know what he is talking about and told him to chase after his own shadow. Eko repeated that Locke knows about the question mark. Locke did not want to go and Eko knocked him out. Locke woke up…Eko asked him about the “?” again. Locke said “You don’t even know what you are talking about, do you?” Eko “No, I don’t. But, you do.” Then, Locke gave the map that he drew to Eko. They followed the map and went back to the Yemi’s plane. Eko knew Locke was the one who found the plane and asked why the plane fell. Locke did not tell him about the accident with Boone and the plane.
Jack is worried about them (Locke and Eko). Michael kept on asking how Libby is doing. He is paranoid that she will wake up and rat him out. Jack wanted to get the heroin in the statues (now possessed by Sawyer) so he can administer the drug to Libby. He asked Sawyer and Kate to go get it. Sawyer’s hiding place for the guns and the heroin is no place special. They are all under Sawyer’s hut all along. Hurley went to them and asked about Libby. Kate told Hurley….
Locke had a dream about Yemi’s brother. He dreamed that Eko climbed up the cliff (where the plane is) and fell off. He woke up when Yemi told Locke to wake up. Eko climbed to the top of the cliff, looked below and saw the question mark sign where the plane is. They found the hatch right below the plane. This hatch is unlike the Swan. It is full of monitors, notebooks, a Dot-Matrix printer and a suction tube (for communication). This hatch appears to be more modern than the Swan. Locke turned on all of the monitors and saw the Swan…They are shocked to see Jack walking around the Swan hatch. Locke saw another computer. This time the computer has the command to print the log files. Locke press Y and Execute. Log files are printed. Eko found the Orientation video – part 5 of 6. This time, the video can be played using a VCR. The logo of this hatch is empty. It is just a Dharma sign with an empty centre. This hatch is the “Pearl” – Station 5. Once again, the Orientation video is introduced by Dr. Candle (But I heard him say that he is Marc Rickman??!!). This time, he appears to be younger and both of his arms are moving. He is not wearing the white lab coat, but normal cloths. The people in this hatch are supposed to stay in the hatch for 3 weeks to monitors (the Swan). Each person has an eight-hour shift. Dr. Candle said that they are monitoring their teammates that are in a psychological experiment in progress. The participants in the Swan where told that they were doing something important (i.e. pushing the button to save the world). [So, this is the Skinner’s box!!!] After the three weeks have ended, they are supposed to leave the Pearl and go to ferry by the barge?! (hopefully, someone will be able to transcribe the video). Also, they are supposed to put their observations in the suction tube. He said that he will receive the observations from them.
[It seems that this video is created before the Swan video – as Candle’s arms are both intact. But, he has a different name?! However, the equipment in the Pearl are newer…at least they are watching the Orientation video using a VCR.]
[During the commercial at this time, the Hanso ad appeared again with the link to the sprite’s site that was discovered yesterday and the Hanso phone number].
Eko asked whether Locke wants to see the video again. Locke said that he has seen enough. Eko was gathering things up so they can bring back to the hatch. He said that they may be important. Locke is frustrated and asked why is he doing this…Did he not understand the video? Eko said that he understand the video. But, they must continue to push the button. It is more important than ever. They are being tested. The reason to push the button is not because they are not being told to do so. They do it because they are meant to. Is it not the reason Locke push the button in the first place, he asked Locke. Locke argued back. Eko told him that the plane above them is Yemi’s plane. They are meant to find the plane and find the hatch below it. Eko said if Locke does not push the button, he will do it himself. They went back to the hatch.
[Libby saw Eko at the airport in the flashback].
Hurley went to see Libby and Libby woke up. Jack went to checkup on her. Libby whispered “Michael”. Jack thought that she was asking whether he was OK…She was not able to get her message across and she died. Then, the camera zooms into Michael and to the Swan’s computer.
[Libby is one of the main Losties without a flashback at this time. Now, only two Tailies are left – Eko and Bernard. Technically, Bernard is from the Mid-section of the plane].
In next week’s preview, Michael went back to camp with Jack and co. He only wants the main people, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Eko, etc to go with him to where the Others are, in the Canadian preview. Sun is shocked to see Michael. In the ABC preview, Sayid is the only one who thinks that Michael is compromised. Jack does not seem to believe Sayid. Also, Michael met one of the Others and told him that his son is standing outside. Next week’s “Three Minutes” will be Michael’s flashback during the time he left the camp to find his son.
