Plot

Centric Character(s): Mr. Eko

The episode opens with a dream sequence, of Mr. Eko chopping wood with his axe on the beach. He is told by Ana Lucia and by his brother, Yemi, that he must help John, who has "lost his way", by having John take him "to the question mark."

Michael stumbles out of the hatch, claiming that he had been shot in the arm by a person unknown to him. Sawyer, Kate, and Jack discover the shooting victims — Ana-Lucía is dead, and Libby is near death. When Michael realises that Libby is still alive, he is fearful that she will reveal the truth of what actually happened; Jack asks Sawyer for the heroin to treat Libby.

Eko offers to track down Henry Gale, with the assistance of Locke, but after they have left he reveals that his real goal is to force Locke to take him to the question mark, where they discover the burned plane containing Eko's brother. They camp at the site, and Locke has a dream in which Yemi is on top of the nearby cliff. After he wakes up, Eko climbs the cliff and sees a giant question mark in the ground. Locke and Eko lift the plane to find a hatch.

Inside the hatch, there are chairs, TV monitors, and pneumatic tubes. Locke places his map in one of the tubes and it is swept away. Locke also finds another computer terminal with a command prompt: ">: PRINT LOG? Y/N". Locke inputs Y, and a print-out is generated from a dot-matrix printer. Eko also finds another Orientation movie where it is revealed that the hatch they are in is "", and it was made to observe the other station(s) and to record how the subjects act to that which they believe to be of great importance. The narrator of the Orientation video reveals that those in the other hatches are undergoing a psychological experiment and that the pneumatic tubes are used to send information back to the DHARMA Initiative. Locke thinks that he has been played a fool, and does not believe the button to have any use. However, Mr. Eko believes that pushing the button is highly important, and he will continue to do so if Locke stops.

"In flashbacks, Eko is a priest in Australia. An associate gives him a counterfeit passport before he is sent to investigate a miracle of a drowning girl coming back to life. At first, it appears that the miracle is genuine. Eko then consults the girl's father, who claims that the girl and her mother are simply pretending that there was a miracle because they resent the fact that he is a fraudulent psychic. He is in fact the same psychic that Claire saw in" "Raised by Another." "Eko reports that a miracle did not take place. In the final flashback, Eko is confronted by the girl, who tells him that she saw Yemi and that his brother is proud of him."

Back on the island, at the Swan, Hurley requests to speak to Libby, and he tearfully apologizes to her for forgetting the blankets. In her dying breath, she says, "Michael!", with a look of terror in her eyes. Jack, mistaking her horror as fear for Michael's safety, assures her that Michael is fine. Hurley starts to cry, as does Kate, Sawyer hugs Kate and she cries in his arms. Locke and Mr. Eko are seen making their way back to The Swan, as the timer starts to sound, the numbers needing to be entered into the computer; the episode ends with Michael in the armoury, looking gravely toward the doorway - his plan unfolding.
