Title: The Other 48 Days
Director: Eric Laneuville
Writers: Damon Lindelof & Carlton Cuse
Flashback: Tailies
This entire episode is a flashback into what Ana Lucia, Libby, Eko, Cindi, and Bernard have been through before Michael, Jin and Sawyer washed up on their beach. The episode opens on the beach where suddenly half of flight 815 falls from the sky into the ocean.
DAY 1
Day 1 for the tailies is very much like Day 1 for our “older” losties. There are people injured, including a young girl and her brother. Eko pulls bodies out of the water. Goodwin runs out of the jungle yelling for help. Ana Lucia follows only to find Bernard sitting in a seat of the plane at the top of a tree. That night, Eko defends himself against 2 people trying to take him into the jungle.
DAY 2
Day 2 for our tailies brings the revelation that the people who attacked their camp were already on the island. Eko breaks a branch for his “Jesus Stick.” Ana Lucia and Nathan, a very Ethan-esque charachter, get into a verbal fight over whether to move inland or stay on the beach, much like on the other side of the island.
DAY 3
Ana Lucia’s trademark sleeveless jacket look is revealed on the beach.
DAY 5
This shows the burial of Donald, a man who broke his leg and had an infection that Libby helped to treat. Libby is revealed to be a clinical psychologist in this episode
Day 7
Goodwin and the other tailies catch a wild chicken on the out skirt of the jungle. Eko begins writing on his stick. Libby consoles Eko and tells him not to blame himself for the death of the 2 “others”, he was only defending himself.
DAY 12
It is revealed that Nathan went to the bathroom by himself, which was against the rules set up by the camp. That night “others” take both of the children, and 7 people. Ana Lucia kills one of them only to find a list with nine of their names on it. Eko can’t find the trail of where they went. Nathan wants Ana Lucia to calm down, but she knows that something is wrong and they are being watched somehow.
Day 15
The camp of 7 people trek through the woods for safety.
Day 17
Ana Lucia begins digging a pit. Libby confides in Ana Lucia that she is suspicious of Nathan.
Day 19
Ana Lucia knocks an unsuspecting Nathan out and throws him in the pit. She tells Nathan that she doesn’t remember him from the plane and she thinks he is “one of them.”
Day 25
Ana Lucia opens the pit and asks “Where are the kids?” like she must have been for the past few days. Goodwin approaches Ana Lucia and tells her she should “let him go, we’re not savages.” Ana Lucia just thinks Nathan is lying and tells Goodwin she will cut off his finger tomorrow to get information. That night, Goodwin lets Nathan out of the pit, gives him some food and tells him to run towards the beach before Ana Lucia finds out. As soon as Nathan turns away, Goodwin kills him.
Day 24
Ana Lucia awakens to Goodwin watching her sleep and Cindi yelling that Nathan is gone. The tailies quickly get up and start trekking through the jungle.
Day 27
The tailies find the arrow hatch, filled with the Holy Bible, glass eye and radio. Goodwin suggests going up the mountain to get a signal and Ana Lucia goes with him. Near the top of the hike, Ana Lucia confronts Goodwin about her suspicions of him possibly being an “other.” Goodwin confides that they only took the “good” people. Ana Lucia and Goodwin fight down a hill and Goodwin dies. Ana Lucia returns to camp only with the radio.
Day 41
Bernard tries the radio and hears Boone from the Nigerian plane. Ana Lucia makes him shut it off because “it’s them.” Ana Lucia and Eko have a moment by the river and Eko, after 40 days of not speaking, speaks.
Day 45
Cindi and Libby find Jin washed up on the beach and tie him up. Jin breaks free and runs for the beach where he finds Michael. They are thrown in the pit. Ana Lucia tells Eko to hit her and throw her down there to find out who they really are.
Day 46
Michael, Jin and Sawyer get out of the pit.
Day 47
The camp hikes through the woods and Sawyer passes out.
Day 48
Cindi goes missing after climbing the mountain. Shannon rounds the corner and is shot by Ana Lucia. The reactions of Sayid, Ana Lucia, and Michael are shown.
