S3: The Man from Tallahassee

Our first time at the Barracks is spent in the shade of darkness which is fitting since the overall theme of the episode was a very dark one.  Locke gets it in his head that he must blow up the submarine that the Others use to come and go off the island.  It's ironic that he blows it up moments before Jack and Juliet were going to leave the island on it.

Off island, Locke interacts with his father and we learn how Locke ends up in his wheelchair - by being thrown 8 stories out of a window by his father.  Devastated and crushed, Locke not only has lost a kidney but now has lost the use of his legs thanks to his father.

The icing on the cake of the episode is that Locke' father, the Man from Tallahassee, is somehow brought or finds his way onto the island before the screen goes to black.
