Last, and certainly not least, we get to see what happened to the group in the hatch. Charlie escaped fine and was hanging out on the beach like he had no care in the world. Sure, he hated Locke and wasn't a big Mr. Eko fan at the moment, but still, you would think that he'd go looking for them. Claire had some ambition that rose to the surface and then quickly went away. Oh well, she's got a baby that requires attention.
Thankfully, we find out that Locke is bloody but all right. He gets further instruction from the island by using a sweat hut. Boone guest stars to tell Locke he needs to clean up his mess. Locke finds Mr. Eko who was dragged off by a polar bear which seems very "Star Wars Wampa/Luke" esque. Locke and Charlie bring Eko back to camp. Locke gives a speech that they are going to find their friends.
Earlier, Hurley returns to finds Desmond who survived the implosion of the hatch, but is stark naked. He talks of the speech that Locke didn't give until later. There's something special about that Desmond character! :)
Overall, the episode I was waiting for the most was probably the most disappointing of the three, probably because the other two filled in some back story about the Others. This episode had no Others and was another sad/pathetic flashback story of Locke getting taken advance of, yet again. I had forgot he lived in a hippie commune so it kept my interest but it just reaffirmed that Locke is very easily manipulated and "amenable to coercion", which come to think of it, will make more sense later on in this season or next if I'm remembering correctly.
