Event Year: 2004

Sayid and Desmond hit a bit of turbulence on the way to the freighter, which causes Desmond to experience some unexpected side effects.

Kate needs to get information out of the hostages, but it may jeopardize her standing with Locke — as well as with Sawyer. Meanwhile in the future Kate's Court hearings take place.

Locke's hostage may be the key to getting off the island, so Sayid and Kate go in search of their fellow castaway in an attempt to negotiate a peaceful deal.

The survivors begin to question the intentions of their supposed rescuers when four strangers arrive on the island.
