S1: Homecoming

Claire is back.  We don't know how she escaped Ethan.  She doesn't remember anything of course and her mind has somehow reset to her boarding the plane.  She doesn't remember the crash.  She DOES remember imaginary peanut better and that's about it.

The major conflict in this episode is Ethan.  He quickly gets labeled the "bad guy" which is funny because throughout the entire series the viewer is challenged to figure out who the "bad guys" are and who the "good guys" are and there is a very fine line between the two.  In this episode, it could be viewed, from a certain point of view, that the Losties are the bad guys because they have guns.

Pre-island, we see a Charlie who band-less yet still needs a fix.  He appears to have a pretty sweet setup with his old band mate to woo girls who come from money, steal something of value, and sell it for drugs.  In this episode, Charlie grows somewhat of a conscience and almost doesn't do it, but gives into temptation, gets caught, and gets told that he will never be able to take care of anyone.

Well on-island, Charlie gets to prove his ex "love" interest wrong, but protecting Claire by killing Ethan.
