24 Season 6 – Episode 8 – 1 pm to 2 pm Synopsis

Previously on 24: We learned that: Jack’s father practices VERY tough love; Gray is now an even more appropriate name for Jack’s brother; The very scary looking vice president has a very non-scary name: “Noah” and is currently being housed in a plane somewhere over the United States; Engineers are so scarce in California that people are recruiting them at gun point.

The following summary takes place between 1 pm and 2 pm:

1:00 pm – Jack, flying in the JackCopter, calls Chloe to find out where Morris might be, but she has trouble with the recent Microsoft upgrade. Jack talks to Bill and lets him know that Gray is dead. Jack says that it’d be great if Bill would tell Gray’s wife and son about Gray’s anatomy. Milo goes to talk to Bill about Chloe. Milo says she’s screwing up. Chloe, who despite being the best analyst they have at CTU for many seasons running, is immediately sent to the dugout by Bill. You’d think Bill would know better than that. Milo nearly immediately finds a great picture of Morris being abducted, and it looks like Jack’s plan is to sneak up on them using his helicopter.

1:04 pm – McCarthy’s girlfriend is driving while he holds a gun on Morris, who gives a complete breakdown on who they are, just to prove that he’s been doing his homework.

1:06 pm – Jack somehow forgot to bring his quiet helicopter, and McCarthy hears it. The girlfriend drives really wildly, because everyone knows that it’s easy to ditch a helicopter, especially with Jack following you. There’s a lot of wild driving, and McCarthy gives his girlfriend a few tips on how to drive especially wildly. The car drives under the 110 interchange, and Jack loses sight of them.

1:07 pm – Fortunately for McCarthy, there’s an Avis rental dealership underneath the bypass and he starts looking for a rock to start the car. Meanwhile, Morris tries to get the girlfriend, Rita, to unlock the keys to his handcuffs, even promising to give her some really cool looking shoes, but it doesn’t work. Rita does seem to be a bit surprised to find out that the nuclear weapon that went off was due to her boyfriend, but she still doesn’t help Morris after he tells her that.

1:08 pm – Jack’s helicopter lands at one of the conveniently located helicopter drop-off points for carpools, and he gets out and hops around on a few car roofs to get down.

1:09 pm – McCarthy finds a pickup truck he likes, they all get in, and they drive off. Meanwhile, Jack has everything completely under control by pulling a gun on an empty car. Jack looks mad that he fell for the old “switch cars under the over pass” trick. Milo tells Jack that he can’t figure out where the car went, so they lost McCarthy. Chloe looks at Milo as he apologizes, and gives him that “you’re an amateur” look.

1:10 pm – Fayed and McCarthy talk on the phone. Fayed is getting impatient, because it’s been a few hours since he’s had an engineer, and he really wants one right away. Fayed tells McCarthy he has the money. McCarthy stops the truck for some reason, and starts up the Garmin GPS. Rita must work for Tom-Tom, because she just out and out shoots McCarthy, and dumps his body on the road. Since it’s California, the proper authorities will be alerted in a few days.

Morris is pretty happy about this until he realizes that Rita just wants to have the money for herself! People in LA that just want money? Who would have thought?

1:16 pm – At the White House bunker, we find out that Lennox was behind getting Wayne to be president. Turns out all he had to do was go over to his house and ask! Wow, there are going to be a lot of senators and governors pretty surprised that’s all it took for Wayne to be come president! An aide walks in, and tells him that Assad’s starship just landed, and that he’ll be materializing at the bunker shortly.

1:17 pm – Lennox storms off, and finds his #2 weasel guy, Reid. Lennox gets mad at some furniture and pushes it over while whining about not having any of his ideas listened to. Wayne is putting forth his own agenda! How dare he! Lennox says he’s going to resign. (I bet Haig will be mad about that). Reid, realizing his job will be gone if Lennox leaves, tries to convince him to stay, but Lennox won’t listen.

1:18 pm – Reid is even more of a weasel than we thought, because he’s on the phone with someone named Carson. Reid tells Carson everything. Carson tells Reid that Lennox might stay if he finds out what they’re planning, and I’m guessing it’s not a new Starbuck’s store. Reid goes off to see if he can convince Lennox to stay.

1:20 pm – Milo tells Bill can’t figure out how to get to the right pictures, because there are way too many in his Flickr account. Gray’s wife and son enter CTU, looking none too sure about the place. They must have heard about the gas canisters from last season.
Bill asks Mrs. Gray if they can act dramatically in another room, and she agrees. Bill tells her that Gray is dead, which she takes remarkably well. Bill says that they’re bringing Gray’s body to CTU for an autopsy, which will be easy since they’re so used to doing them, what with all the bodies Jack is always bringing in. Bill gets Josh and tells him to go act dramatically in the other room with his mother.

1:22 pm – Milo gets a call from Jack, who wants to talk to Bill. Jack’s found McCarthy’s body and is checking it for loose change, gum, and directions to Fayed’s secret hideout, but he doesn’t find anything. Jack does find a cell phone that received a phone call about five minutes ago, and asks for a trace. Bill asks the obvious, “Do you think the call was to Fayed?” Jack tells him that since McCarthy probably didn’t call for an ambulance, that yes, it was probably Fayed. Jack uploads the phone data to CTU so Milo can look at it.

1:23 pm – Over in the Terrorist Apartment Complex, Rita wanders down the hall with Morris to Fayed’s apartment. They enter, and Rita is surprised that they have a strict dress code for women there, and she and Morris are immediately searched. Rita tells Fayed that McCarthy is out on the street waiting. Morris tries a “I’m not the data analyst you’re looking for” mind trick on Fayed, but it doesn’t work. Rita wants the money now, and Fayed says that she’ll have to wait.

1:25 pm – Fayed tells Morris that he has to make devices to arm the nuclear weapons. Morris takes a quick look around, doesn’t see the necessary Radio Shack parts there, and tells Fayed that he won’t do it. One of Fayed’s guys hits Morris, who falls to the ground. Fayed pulls out a PSP and tells Morris to mod it to use with the bombs. Morris still refuses, so Fayed’s guys start hitting Morris with bats (the “ouch” kind, not the “flutter” kind). That is definitely not going to help Morris figure out how to program that thing.

Commercial

1:29 pm – Jack wants to know why it’s taking so long for Milo to figure out how to make a phone trace. Chloe wants to try, and makes the trace in seconds, WHILE she’s talking to Milo. That’s our Chloe! The location is given to Jack, who drives off in a crescendo of dramatic music. Bill tries to give Milo credit for it, but Milo tells him it was Chloe. Bill wants Chloe to go back to work.

1:31 pm – In the presidential bunker, Assad comes to visit with Wayne under armed guard, which promptly waits outside while they both go into the bunker conference room. No one seems to think there’s a problem with leaving him with President Wayne. Wayne and Assad chit-chat for a while, and Wayne hatches a plan to get Assad onto TV. He wants Assad to give a speech to all the extremists out in the world, and to let them know that they should give up, because it’s time for peace. Wayne says he’s pretty sure that most of their caves get cable, so they’ll be able to reach most of them. Assad says he doesn’t want to be a puppet, and Wayne says that he shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss that because you can make a lot of licensing money that way. Wayne tells Assad that they can’t wait for him to decide when to make the peace deal announcement.

1:34 pm – Jack’s out in front of the Terrorist Apartment Complex with a bunch guys holding weapons they look anxious to use, and one of them has set a perimeter. I swear I heard him say, “All Hail The Perimeter Maker Curtis!”, but that might have been a backfiring truck. Anyway, they have some people in plain clothes watching Fayed’s building, which should make them stick out like sore thumbs in fashion conscience California. They have TAC teams outside, but the building hasn’t been CTU-enabled, so there are no cameras inside. They think Morris and Rita are inside.

1:35 pm – Jack talks to Bill and it’s going to take a while to find people inside the building, so they decide to set off a fire alarm.

1:36 pm – Back at Fayed’s apartment, they’re giving Morris a bath, but they don’t seem to be very good at it. The alarm goes off, and everyone’s confused for a few seconds. One of them starts singing “School’s Out” but stops when Fayed smashes the alarm on the wall.

1:37 pm – Fayed realizes that CTU knows they’re there, and gets out a big terrorist drill which he uses on Morris’s shoulder, not even thinking that that might be Morris’s typing arm. He threatens Morris that he’ll do it some more if he doesn’t help.

1:38 pm – Rita bursts in and says that she just wants to leave, without the money. Fayed takes the fact that she wants to leave WITHOUT the money as a personal insult and shoots her. He starts the drill up again, and Morris agrees to do the work before Fayed has a chance to use it.

Commercial

1:43 pm – Reid walks into Lennox’s office, and tells Lennox he can’t resign. Lennox says he can’t change Wayne’s mind. Reid then says, “What if I told you that the climate could change?” Lennox launches into a speech about global warming until Reid interrupts him and says that there are other people that believe a change in leadership would be a good thing. Lennox wants to know who these people are, and Reid says that he was just speaking abstractly. Lennox says he doesn’t speak “abstract”, and wants to know who the people are. Reid really gives a BIG hint that the vice-president might be taking over soon. Lennox doesn’t go along with this, and Reid seems pretty surprised.

1:45 pm – A firefighter on a bullhorn is talking to people about 10 feet away from him, and they look pretty annoyed. CTU downloads a bunch of info to Jack, and they pinpoint where the terrorists probably are, along with a drug dealer and a handicapped old woman who is probably scared out of her wits right now.

1:46 pm – Back at the terrorist apartment, Morris tries to explain it’s going to take some extra time to do the work, especially since his arm still REALLY hurts.

1:47 pm – Jack’s weapon of choice this time is a shotgun, and he’s working his way to the apartment.

1:47 pm – Morris completes the programming he needs to do, and we see a little nuclear pacman eating dots across the screen. They bring out a silver suitcase with a nuclear weapon in it, from the nuclear weapon closet they’ve been keeping it in. They tell Morris to “Arm it! Arm it!” while hitting Morris’ drilled shoulder, laughing at their little pun. Fayed tries it, it works, and he takes the suitcase away. He tells one of his thugs to kill Morris, who looks pretty disappointed about this new development.

1:48 pm –Explosion through a wall! Shooting all over the place! They really make up for the lack of shooting the last couple of episodes, but still seem to miss Fayed leaving the apartment. Someone forgot to watch the front door! They find Morris, and he’s alive. Chloe looks happy as she gets this news.

1:49 pm – A CTU tactical guy walks in and tells Jack about a nice little package in the next room. Jack kneels down, opens it, and it’s a nuclear weapon. In the understatement of the season so far, he says “CTU, we have a problem”, and asks if anyone from Apollo 13 is available.

Commercial

1:55 pm – Chloe promptly captures the title of understatement of the year when she tells Jack that he needs to “be careful”. They discuss the bomb, it’s explosive properties, and how they might be able to disarm it. Despite this, one of the guys starts talking to Jack about how Fayed escaped, how he got away in a helicopter, and what the weather is like. This tactical guy is lucky Jack doesn’t shoot him in the thigh, just to get him to shut up. Chloe continues to give Jack instructions, and accidentally tells him the wrong info. Fortunately, she gets an updated Acrobat Reader, downloads a new schematic, and saves the day just in time.

1:57 pm – Jack’s pretty happy that everything is over, until Morris tells him that Fayed now has a nuclear arming device that works. This annoys Jack.

1:59 pm – Back at the White House bunker, Lennox gets info from CTU about Fayed still being at large. He calls Reid, and tells him to tear up the resignation letter. Lennox says he wants to discuss the climate again!

2:00 pm – Time’s up!

NEXT TIME: Is in a few minutes…

Excuse the upgrade dust

I just upgraded from WordPress 2.0.5 to 2.1, and a few things broke. (Most notably, the blogroll). I’m working on getting it recovered.

If you notice any other obvious errors, please let me know.

….In the blog software…. not the LOST theories. 😉

Update

Things are pretty much fixed; You won’t be seeing any PHP or SQL messages (I think).

The Site Links and Blogroll got rolled together when the upgrade happened. I’ll look into fixing the rest soon.

Only Fools Are Enslaved By Time And Space

From Lost Easter Eggs comes a great find from “Not In Portland”.

Remember the scene where Karl is found strapped into a chair watching videos and listening to loud music? Someone figured out that if you play that backwards, you’ll hear the message “Only Fools Are Enslaved By Time and Space”. Thanks to SciFi2U.com for the clip!

Where is LOST headed?

The Sydney Morning Herald has an article on where LOST is headed in the next few years.  

The stars of the show are just as interested as everyone else to see where things are headed, and
the producers have stated that there are a few more years left until the island mystery is solved, and then that will be it for the show.

They’re not going to try and drag it out forever, which is a good thing.

LOST footage lost at the airport

What a nightmare.

It seems that the security folks at Honolulu International Airport don’t pay attention to warning labels and accidentally X-rayed the film canisters containing footage for one of the episodes of LOST.

They were able to re-shoot the ruined scenes, and everything is back on schedule.  Insurance covers it too, which is a good thing since LOST costs between $1.5 million and $2 million (or more) PER EPISODE to shoot.

Easter Eggs and Things You Missed in “Not In Portland”

Just a couple of easter eggs this episode:


  • Karl was in room 23

  • Sawyer’s reference to the “Wookie” was a reference to the scene in “Star Wars” where Chewbacca is supposed to be a prisoner, but it turns out it’s just a trick

  • Juliet’s last name is Burke

  • Mittelos means “centerless” in German, and is an anagram for “Lost Time”

  • Since Alex considers Ben her father, Danielle (the French woman) might be Ben’s wife

LOST “Not in Portland” episode summary

SPOILERS – Don’t read this if you don’t want to know!

Summary of “Not in Portland”

The scene opens with Juliet holding a black bag, while looking out over the ocean. Next, we see her waking down a badly lit corridor, where she passes Ethan, who says, “Hello”. She goes into a room where a woman wearing a head scarf is sleeping, and prepares a shot. The woman wakes up, and Juliet gives her the injection in her stomach. The woman is Juliet’s sister. They’re in Miami.

Scene switches to the operating room, which is a replay of the last scene of the last episode. Jack tells Kate to run.

Kate and Sawyer beat up Danny and the other man that had guns on them. Tom wants Juliet to stitch Ben up, but Jack points out that she can’t because she isn’t a surgeon.

Tom asks what to do, and Juliet tells Tom to go after Kate and Sawyer. Jack says he’ll let Ben die if that happens. Juliet says that he won’t let Ben die, and tells Tom to go after Kate and Sawyer, and if necessary, to kill them.

Commercial

Flashback: Juliet uses an access card to enter a bio-medical research facility marked “Security Level 5”. While she’s walking down a hallway, she gets a phone call confirming an interview she has. She enters a dark lab, and takes two bottles of a drug from a refrigerator unit. She’s interrupted by a man and a woman who come into the lab, and start kissing. Juliet’s phone goes off. The man goes to investigate, and finds Juliet. He asks why she’s at the lab. She makes up and excuse, but he doesn’t believe her. He introduces her to the woman he’s with, and introduces Juliet as his ex-wife.

In the operating room, Juliet tells Jack that Kate and Sawyer aren’t going to make it because they’re on an island two miles away from the island they landed on. Juliet wants to come to a “peaceful resolution”. Jack asks if she wants a peaceful resolution, why she would ask to have Ben killed, which she denies. They argue until Tom stops them. Tom tells Juliet to leave the room since she can’t help Ben at this point. As she leaves, she tells Tom not to believe Jack because Jack wouldn’t just let a patient die.

Out in the area with the zoo cages, Danny is yelling to get someone’s attention. A man comes to let them Danny and the other man out of the cage that Sawyer and Kate put them in.

Kate and Sawyer run through the jungle, and they get to the beach. They see the island they landed on. Kate calls Jack to tell him they need a boat, just as Danny starts shooting at them. Kate and Sawyer go running, finally hiding behind a couple of trees. Sawyer shoots until the bullets run out, and just as one of the men is about to shoot them, Alex comes out of the jungle and slingshots one of them. Alex leads Kate and Sawyer to a hole in the ground that’s covered with grass and leaves. The men go past.

In the operating room, Tom asks Jack if Juliet really asked Jack to kill Ben. Jack says she did. Both men are surprised to hear Ben talking to them, despite still being on the operating table. He asks to talk to Juliet.

Commercial

Flashback: Juliet works at a computer when the woman that was with her ex-husband (Edmund) tells her that Edmund wants to see her. The woman turns out to be a new research assistant.

In his office, Edmund tells Juliet that “he wants in” to whatever Juliet is up to, despite the ethical implications. He says that with his name involved with the project, it would be viewed as “cutting edge science”. He tells her to think about it.

Outside of the operating room, Tom tells Juliet that Ben is asking for her.

Kate, Sawyer and Alex get out of the hole and Alex says she has a boat. Alex wants them to help Karl escape from wherever he’s being held. They agree.

Jack tells Ben that he stopped the surgery, and Ben says that he’s been listening for a while. Juliet enters, and Ben tells Jack that he wants to speak to Juliet alone. Jack doesn’t want to, but finally agrees when Ben says he only has 27 minutes left. Jack says they can talk for three minutes.

Jack and Tom go to the observation room above the operating room, while Ben talks to Juliet. We can’t hear what they’re saying. Tom introduces himself to Jack while they both watch Juliet and Ben. Tom says that “Juliet and Ben” have “history”. Juliet leaves the room, and tells Jack that she wants him to go back in and finish the surgery. Jack asks why he would do that, and Juliet says she’s going to go help Kate and Sawyer escape.

Commercial

Flashback: Juliet is getting a presentation from a man named Mr. Alpert from Mittlelos Bioscience, which he says is outside of Portland. He says that the people that work there are happy, and privately funded. He says they organize trips around Portland. She asks why she’s been recruited. He counters with the fact that she had successfully impregnated a male field mouse. He then shows her an series of MRIs. Juliet says they are MRIs of a womb, of a woman that she thinks is in her seventies. The man says that the woman is actually 26. Juliet asks what could have caused it, and he says that she would have full access to find out if she goes to work for Mittlelos. She says that she can’t, because of her ex-husband. He says that if they would be able to reach out on her behalf, or if there was something she would respond to…. She blurts out that maybe if Edmund were hit by a bus, and then says that what she just said was totally inappropriate. She tells him that whatever they think she is, she’s not, and leaves.

Juliet goes into the control room where she looks on all the screens, and finally sees Kate, Sawyer and Alex. She’s surprised to see Alex.

Outside of a set of large doors, a man named Aldo is reading a book while standing on guard. Kate, Sawyer and Alex discuss what to do. Kate says she has an idea.

Alex brings Kate and Sawyer to Aldo, telling him that they got loose and that her dad told her to bring them to where Aldo is. Aldo calls Danny, and while he’s talking on the radio, Sawyer jumps him. Sawyer threatens Aldo, but Aldo won’t say where Karl is. Kate grabs the gun and threatens to shoot Aldo in the knee, so Aldo quickly tells her where Karl is. Kate knocks Aldo out with the butt of the gun.

They race down the hallway, and find Karl in room 23. The room is dark, but very loud industrial techno music is playing and messages and pictures are being flashed on the screen. Karl is strapped into a chair with an IV, wearing glasses that magnify what he’s seeing. Karl stares straight ahead, and is non-responsive. They get him out of the room, where Sawyer asks for the boat.

Commercial

Danny slaps Aldo awake just as Juliet runs up to them. Juliet tells Danny that Ben wants Kate and Sawyer to let them go, but he doesn’t believe her, and runs off after them.

Juliet comes back after the interview, and her sister tells her that Juliet’s research has worked. Her sister is pregnant. She has a pregnancy test and blood test to prove it. Her sister says all she has to do now is get healthy.

Flashback: Outside of his office building, Juliet tells Edmund that her research worked, and that her sister is pregnant. He says that he wants to see the results, and Juliet tells him that she’s not going to make her research public. He steps out into the street, turns to ask why she’s concerned, and he’s hit by a bus.

In the operating room, Tom tells Jack that he doesn’t like blood. Jack asks why they didn’t just take Ben to have the surgery. Tom starts to says, “Ever since the sky turned purple, we…” and is interrupted by a stream of blood from Ben’s back. Jack accidentally nicked an artery.

Sawyer, Kate, Alex and Karl make it to the small sailboat, and start to push it into the water. Karl wakes up enough to say “Danny, Danny”. Danny is on the beach, pointing his gun at Sawyer. Just as he’s about to shoot, Juliet calls out, Danny turns, and she shoots him.

Commercial

Jack asks for Tom’s help in the surgery.

Juliet tells Kate and Sawyer to leave, but tells Alex to stay. Alex asks why, and she says that her father would never let Karl live if Alex wasn’t there when he woke up. Alex kisses Karl goodbye. Just as they’re about to leave, Juliet hands Kate a radio.

Tom brings Jack the radio, and Kate assures Jack that they’re safe. Jack asks Kate to tell him the story he told her when they first met. She tells him the story of the surgery that he nearly messed up, but how he ended up saving the girl. Jack tells her to promise him to not come back to the island after him.

Kate and Sawyer leave in the boat with Karl, leaving Alex and Juliet on the beach.

Flashback: Juliet is in a morgue where she has to sign some paperwork. She starts to cry.

Jack is in the observation room looking at Ben when Juliet enters. He asks what’s going to happen to him now. She says, “Until they figure out what to do with you”. He wants to know what she and Ben talked about. She says it doesn’t matter. Jack says it matters to him after all he’s been through.

Flashback: Someone hands Juliet a packet of tissues. It’s Ethan. She recognizes him but can’t remember where she’s seen him. Then she sees Mr. Alpert. She asks what he’s going there, and he says he saw what happened on the news, and wanted to express is condolences personally. She realizes that said in the interview that she said that if her ex-husband was hit by a bus that she would be able accept the offer, and is a little freaked out about it. Alpert says he doesn’t remember her saying that, and presses her to accept the offer. He says that she can be back within six months, before her sister gives birth. She’s surprised to hear him say this, and asks how he knows that. He says they have a very through recruitment process. She asks if her sister can go too. Alpert tells her that won’t be possible because they’re not quite in Portland.

Juliet tells Jack that she’s been on the island 3 year, 2 months and 28 days. She says that Ben made a deal with her to let her go home. Juliet leaves.

How soon will be see an “Others Rebellion”?

Just a few more hours until LOST premieres, and with all the build up from the first six shows, how long will it be until we see an “Others Rebellion”?

What the heck is that? Well, we have Ben down on the operating table. Juliet is trying to get Jack to do away with Ben, which I don’t think will work. This was going to be her big power play, until Jack turned the tables on her and decided that he wanted to try to save Kate and Sawyer.

Now Juliet is in a bit of a mess: Does she save Ben, and ruin her plans? Does she do something that might get rid of Ben and really screw up her plans when it doesn’t work? Does she do something that might get rid of Ben and actually succeeds? How would the other Others react to THAT?

From the beginning we’ve seen that Juliet doesn’t like Ben’s iron hand in deciding things, or the way some of the Others follow him. We know that Alex isn’t very happy about what’s happened to her or her friend “Karl”. (Ben does still care about Alex though, and even asked about her before his surgery). Will Juliet enlist Alex to help get rid of, or at least keep Ben from being the leader of the Others?

Trouble is definitely brewing, it’s just a matter of when things come to a head.

The real question in my mind is, what if they do “overthrow” Ben? Will Juliet be the new leader? What happens if Juliet turns around and is worse than Ben?

That’s my bet. Somehow Juliet will take over, and whatever self-control Ben had, we will not see the same from Juliet.

Then the Lost castaways will really have something to worry about.

Theory about the one-eyed man on LOST

I know it’s been a while since the first six episodes of LOST have aired, but tonight’s the night it all starts back up again: The “Others”, the smoke monster, people on the beach that we haven’t seen for two seasons becoming part of the regular cast.. Can you tell I’m getting punchy?

Anyway, I’d been thinking about the one-eyed man that Locke saw on the video monitor. He’s probably the owner of the glass eye that was hidden in the book. If you recall, there was also something else found with that glass eye. The portion of the film that was missing from the “Orientation” movie that was in the hatch.

So, let’s think about this a minute. The guy with the glass eye had the portion of the film that warned people NOT to use the computers for anything other than punching those numbers in. Why would he have taken something like that?

We know that the first “incident” caused something to happen in the hatch which prompted the Dharma Initiative to make the film warning not to communicate with anyone, which they hoped would stop another “incident”. Was this because the people in the hatch before Desmond got there nearly made everything implode too?

I think it’s clear that by taking out that portion of the film, the person that did it wanted whatever happened before to happen again. The question is, is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Is the one-eyed man trying to help or not?

I’m not really sure we can tell at this point. On the one hand, he does seem to be operating outside of the influence of the “Others”. I can’t think of another reason he would have been hanging around the bunker where the Tailies found the glass eye and film; he was hiding. He seems to be sabotaging their plans, which may be a good thing.

On the other hand, what if what The Others are trying to do is really important? What if the one-eyed man is creeping around the island trying to stop them from what every good work they’re trying to do?

Just something to think about before the last part of the season starts.
