For more than two months, it's been scouring the depths of the Sunda Trench off Bali, in search of the remains of sunken trading ships.

I think Kate was really upset when you made your choice to come with us. Thank God she has Jack there to comfort..."

From Lostpedia
  54. "With respect, these are the wrong people for a mission like this. None of them have field experience, military training. You can't just drop them in unprotected. It'll be a disaster. This is a high risk covert op in unstable territory. It's dodgy enough without having to babysit a head case, ghost buster, anthropologist and a drunk." Naomi
  55. "There were no survivors of Oceanic 815. Don't ask questions, just do what you were hired for. Every member of this team was selected for a specific purpose, everything relies on you, getting them in, getting them out, and preventing anyone from getting killed. Think you can do that?" Matthew Abaddon
  56. Kate and Dan bring Naomi's body on a stretcher to the helicopter, Sayid checks out the helicopter, says it will fly, there's minor damage, but the mechanical systems are in tact.

  63. Locke wants to kill Ben, people object, Locke tells Rousseau to take Alex away, but Ben says that he has answers, so Locke asks about the smoke monster, but Ben doesn't have an answer for him, says he doesn't know, so Locke is going to shoot him.

  65. "Her name is Charlotte Lewis! Charlotte Staples Lewis. Born July 2nd, 1979, Essex, England. Parents David and Jeanette. Eldest of three, all girls. She was raised in Bromsgrove. Did her undergraduate studies at Kent. Took her PhD in Cultural Anthropology at Oxford. She's here with two other team members and a pilot. Their names Daniel Faraday, Miles Straume, Frank Lapidus. Your instinct was right, John, these people are a threat, and if you shoot me you'll never know how great a threat they were. Because I know what they're doing here. I know what they want." Ben
  66. Ben says they want him, that he knows because he has a man on their boat.

Notes:

  1. I think Daniel Faraday doesn't know why he's upset because it hasn't happened yet.
  2. From Lostpedia: Michael Faraday was an English chemist and physicist who contributed to the study of electromagnetism. From Wikipedia: "He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena." In this episode, Daniel Faraday comments on abnormalities in the light rays on the Island and defines himself as a physicist.
  3. The photograph frames by the stairs in the home that Miles goes to change from when he goes upstairs to when he comes back down. From Lostpedia
  4. Miles says that Jack would say "tell my sister I love her," but we know, in fact, that Jack does have a sister, Claire, that he doesn't know about.
  5. Matthew Abaddon is so creepy.
  6. Charlotte Staples Lewis was named after C.S. Lewis.
