Episode synopsis- spoilers
Basically, the episode had flashbacks of Locke's past, and Locke and Boone trying to get into the hatch.
We learn that Locke worked in a toy store for a while at least. He was an orphan, who had grown up in foster homes. His biological mom found him, claimed he was immaculately conceived. He decided to seek out his father, who told him that his mother was crazy. They started hanging out, Locke finally found out his father was dying because he needed a kidney. ocke volunteered to give up one of his own. After the surgery, his father ditched him...he'd been using him just to get Locke to provide a kidney.
On the island, Locke and Boone make a trebuchet to try and break open the window on the hatch. It doesn't work. Locke's ability to walk begins to disappear. When the trebuchet breaks, a shard of wood goes right through his leg, and he doesn't feel it.
Locke had a dream in which he saw a crashing plane, saw Boone saying something about Theresa falling down the stairs, and saw Boone covered in blood. He tells Boone a plane crashed, Boone doesn't believe him. Locke then asks him about how Theresa fell. Boone asked how Locke could have ever known....Locke uses this to prove there was truth to the dream....but Locke *doesn't* tell Boone that he also saw Boone covered in blood.
They head off into the jungle to look for the plane, figuring that it might contain something that helps them get into the hatch. The further they go, the more difficulty Locke has walking, until finally he can't stand anymore. Boone helps him, and tells him that Theresa was his nanny, who fell down their stairs and broke her neck when he was 6. He'd apparently tricked her into coming up the stairs in the first place.
At this point, Locke sees the p lane. He can't walk, so Boone goes up, as it's lodged in a tree. Finds some decomposed bodies inside, and crates of virgin mary dolls. Turns out they're all filled with bags of heroine. The plane starts wobbling. Locke tells Boone to get out. Boone keeps looking, gets the radio, tries it, and it still works. He calls for help, and a man responds. Boone tells him they are survivors of Flight 815. The man replies, as the radio crackles "there were no survivors of flight 815". Then the plane falls out of the tree.
Almost as soon as the plane fell, Locke starts being able to walk again. He finds Boone inside, covered in blood, bashed to heck from the fall, and unconscious. Carries him out of the forest on his back. They get to the camp, Locke calls Jack. Jack rips open Boone's shirt, and it looks like his chest is all smashed up.
Jack asked what happened, and Locke lies, and says that they were hunting, and Boone fell off a cliff. Jack then asks for information about exactly what happened. Needs to know so he can treat him. Starts looking around, but Locke is gone.
The scene cuts to Locke, who's back at the hatch, in the dark, beating on it. He yells something about having done everything the island wanted him to do, and why it wouldn't let him in. He breaks down, crying, and then, all of a sudden light starts shining out from inside the hatch window.
End of Episode
It was a really powerful one, IMO. Easily one of my favourites.
There was a sub-plot with Sawyer, and the fact that he's getting massive headaches. He finally goes to Jack for help, and Jack basically embarrasses him, getting him to admit (in front of Kate) that he's slept with prostitutes and contracted an STD at some point. Then Jack reveals that Sawyer is far-sighted and needs glasses for all the reading he's been doing, so they go through all the glasses they recovered from the plane, find the best lenses in different pairs of glasses, and Sayyid then splices two halves of two separate pairs of glasses together for Sawyer.
That's about everything that occurred that I can remember.
