The episode was written by Christina M. Kim and Jordan Rosenberg and directed by Paul Edwards.
The character of Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin) is featured in the episode's flashbacks.
A doctor tells Claire all her mother's medical expenses have been taken care of by an anonymous person.
Desmond Hume (Henry Ian Cusick) suggests that Charlie should go boar hunting.
She decides to capture a bird and attach a note about the crash of Flight 815 and the survivors, hoping that someone will find and read it.
Although Charlie struggles with whether to tell Claire about Desmond's prediction, he instead says her plan will only give people false hope.
He picks up a seagull from a rock and explains to Claire how he's seen that if Charlie had gone to get the bird, he would have died after falling into the sea.
Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews), Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly), John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Danielle Rousseau (Mira Furlan) and the captured Other Mikhail Bakunin (Andrew Divoff) learn from Mikhail that the implosion at "The Swan" station sent an electromagnetic pulse which wiped out an underwater beacon.
Mikhail also reveals he knows their full names and begins to reveal his knowledge of Locke's paraplegic condition, but Rousseau interrupts him when she spots an endless ring of cement pylons that disappear into the jungle as far as the eye can see.
The amplitude of the sound jumps up and Mikhail begins twitching and trembling, blood drips out of his ears and saliva foams at the corners of his mouth.
Sayid gets the axe out of Locke's bag and discovers inside a brick of C-4 from the Flame station.
Sayid immediately questions Locke's motives, asking if he really came to rescue Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox).
