S1: The Greater Good

As the Losties put Boone to rest, we get a glimpse of Sayid after his service in the Republic Guard where he has a brief stint with the FBI.  He uses his connections with an old friend to infiltrate a terrorist cell in Sydney.  While he is successful, unfortunately his friend pays the ultimate price by taking his own life out of grief.  Sayid does the right thing and claims his friend's body so it will be buried in Muslim custom which results in him delaying his original flight out of the county to his lost love of seven years, Nadia, putting him on Oceanic Flight 815.

On island Sayid tells Shannon he'll do anything to ease her pain of Boone's death.  She wants him to kill John Locke.  Sayid doesn't kill him but learns about the hatch and Locke confesses to hitting Sayid over the head and destroying his attempt to find the radio tower.  Shannon attempts to take matters into her own hands, but she is unsuccessful.  Ultimately, this puts a damper on the would be relationship with Shannon and Sayid, but again, he does the right thing.
