Bill’s Lost Site

There were 5 major flashback sequences. Below are my notes from each flashback.

Flashback #1
Ethan is playing doctor. He asks Claire about her last check-up. He asks why she is flying and Claire explains about the adoption. Ethan goes to the medicine cabinet and unlocks it with a key attached to a Dharma keychain. He says that he is getting “Medicine for the baby.”

For those paying attention you will notice that the medicine is labled exactly the same as the medicine that Desmond was using in his hatch. The name of the medicine does not appear … however, The Numbers are listed on each bottle.

Claire appears to be calm but not nearly as loopy as she is in her next set of flashbacks.

Flashback #2
Claire is injected again and appears to be much more out of it. Ethan decides to give Claire a special treat by taking her to the nursery. On the way to the nursery Claire walks by a short door labled “Escape Hatch” and then passes the bunker entrance that she later discovers.

In the nursery Claire asks about Charlie. This reference tells us that the 2nd flashback occured after Ethan took both Claire and Charlie. We don’t know for sure when the 1st flashback took place. Click HERE for more on that.

Claire then plays with a mobile of airplanes. It looks like all of the airplanes are replicas of the Oceanic Airlines planes. They carry the same general logo pattern and colors.

While Claire is playing with the toy planes Ethan gets a visit from clean shaven Zeke. Zeke has a couple of interesting comments.

First he says, “You were supposed to make the list and then bring her in.”

Next he says, “What am I supposed to tell him. You know what he’s going to want to do when he finds out.”

The “list” comment ties back to Goodwin’s conversation with Ana Lucia about having names on a list. As for “him” - I can guess that he is talking about Degroot (that’s if Zeke isn’t Degroot) or Hanso himself.

Flashback #3
Ethan takes Claire out for a walk. Claire again is very loopy. Ethan gives Claire something to drink. Claire comments that it is sour. Ethan does not drink out of the canteen. Immediately after drinking the “water” Claire’s baby kicks. Was there something in the “water” that is designed to get Claire’s baby active?

Ethan says, “I’m going to miss you. I wish you didn’t have to go.” Claire suggests that maybe she doesn’t have to go. Ethan’s response was something like, “You know there is not enough vaccine for you and the baby.” Ethan then tells Claire that once the baby is born she can go back to her friends at camp and hopefully she won’t get sick. How sweet.

The weirdest part for me was Ethan’s insistence that Claire consent to giving up the child. He makes it sound like it is her choice. Not sure why Claire’s imput matters at all. It was almost like he had to have her consent in order to legally take her child. Hmmm. “You have a choice” was Ethan’s exact words.

Flashback #4
Short flashback with what I now think is Alex - Danielle’s daughter. Alex wakes Claire up and tells her that she has to leave - that they are going to take the baby out tonight. He comment was “He’ll kill you. You’re going to die.” I wonder if that is the same “him” that Zeke referenced? Next thing we know Claire is outside asleep.

Flashback #5
Last one. Claire is just waking up when Danielle stumbles upon her. Claire wants to go back to Ethan and give him her baby. Danielle is trying to shut her up as the “Others” circle in closer. As a measure of last defense Danielle clobbers Claire with a rifle butt and drags her back to an area near the caves where Claire is discovered by Boone and Locke.
