This episode blew me away the first time I saw it and it blew me away again. It starts in a place you never think it will end up going and it totally goes there.
We get to meet Locke's mom who tells him he was immaculately conceived which leads Locke into digging into his own past. Up to this point, he was given up for adoption and appears to have bounced from foster home to foster home, currently working at some retail store.
Locke learns who is father is and they immediately bond. They go on hunting trips together, and Locke becomes very friendly with the gate keeper at his father's house.
After multiple bonding experiences, Mr. Cooper aka Locke's dad reveals that he needs a kidney. He slow plays Locke with the long con and Locke gives his father a kidney out of the goodness of his heart. His mom reveals this news to him after the surgery. Distraught, he cries in his car after trying to see his dad.
On island, Locke is also distraught (mirroring his off island story), after Boone gets badly injured following Locke's instructions. Locke finds himself crying and pounding on the lid of the hatch when suddenly a light shines from below...
Sweet moment of note: Jack helps Sawyer with his headaches by giving him glasses to help him not strain his eyes when reading. He helps him because Kate asked him to and she knows it because he tells her in a sweet way.
