The episode stars with the salvage vessel Christiane I finding the remains of Oceanic 815 in the ocean. Daniel Faraday, a physicist, is watching and saddened by what he sees, although he isn’t sure why. Then in the present day we see him parachute onto the island. He tells Jack he is there to rescue them, but then admits that that is not their primary objective. Then they try to track down other people from his chopper. They find Miles. He pulls a gun and accuses Kate of having killed Naomi. We see a flashback of Miles Strom, and learn that he is someone with the ability to communicate with the dead. Miles asks to be taken to Naomi’s body, saying that he can know what happened to her.
Locke says that he got his orders from Walt. He also mentions Ben shooting him, adding that he’d probably be dead if he still had a kidney there.
In introducing Charlotte, we see her in Tunisia, around the time Oceanic 815 was discovered. She visits an archaeological dig, where a polar bear has been found. Charlotte digs nearby and finds its collar, with the logo of the Dharma Hydra Station on it. Then we see her having arrived on the island – she is clearly delighted. Locke’s group finds her. She wants them to stay put so her team can find them, but Locke says they don’t want to be found. They put her GPS tracker on Vincent and sent him running.
When the news reports the discovery of the plane on the bottom of the ocean, Frank Lapidus sees the images supposedly of Seth Norris, the pilot. He calls Oceanic, saying that there is no way that could be him because he never took off his wedding ring. Later we see him as the pilot of the helicopter.
Ben shoots Charlotte, but she is wearing a bullet-proof vest. Daniel and Miles find Frank. He landed the helicopter safely even though it had been struck by lightning.
In another flashback, Matthew Abbadon is hiring Naomi, and assembled the team. They are all selected for a specific purpose.
When Frank realizes that Juliette Burke was not on the plane and is a native, Miles confronts her, and says they are there to apprehend Benjamin Linus.
Meanwhile, Ben tells Locke that that is why Charlotte and the others in her team are there. When Locke asks how Ben knows that, he says it is because he has a man on their boat.
