Eko's Flashback and Island Stories
Synopsis:
(From ABC Television Network) A delirious Eko wrestles with demons from his past, while Locke and some of the other castaways head back to The Pearl -- one of the Dharma Initiative's island stations -- hoping to find a computer that they can use to locate Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. Meanwhile, Jack doesn't know whom to trust when two of the Others seem at odds with one another.Bonnie's thoughts:
This episode centers around Eko. Eko must again face his past and we'll get to see his brother Yemi, and one of the soldiers that we've seen before. We'll also see Jason, who was one of the men who gave Sawyer the needle in the last episode.Locke takes some of the castaways to The Pearl, which is the hatch he found with Eko that was under the beachcraft airplane that killed Boone. There was a computer and TV screens down there.
Jack doesn't know who to trust of the Others, but I can't imagine him ever trusting Ben over Juliet, though Ben is pretty persuasive.
A lot will be revealed in the next two episodes, then we'll have to wait until February 7th for a new episode.
