Now that Hurley's (Jorge Garcia) CD player has finally "died," neither the survivors nor the viewers will be treated to those pop music snatches that have capped the previous episodes of Lost. This does not mean, however, that Hurley's importance to the series has diminished: in fact, this episode is all about him -- or rather, his fascination with the Frenchwoman who has been transmitting radio messages from the jungle interior of the island. Also, an extended flashback finally explains why Hurley had popped up on Korean TV in a prior episode's flashback. A boon of good luck had recently drastically changed Hurley's life; however, things were not as fortunate as they at first seemed, and Hurley had set off on a quest to determine the meaning of it all. And in another development, Locke (Terry O'Quinn) commits another act of largesse, with Claire (Emilie de Raven) and her baby as the recipients. ~ All Movie Guide

Magnum (Tom Selleck) is anxious to see justice done in the trial of Quang Ki (Richard Nanta), the Vietnamese official who had earlier tried to kill Magnum's ex-wife Michelle (Marta DuBois) and daughter Lily. Astonishingly, Quang Ki is acquitted of all charges, and Magnum suspects that someone "higher up" has been pulling strings to avoid an international incident. Not long afterward, the detective receives a videotape indicating that Quang Ki has succeeded in murdering his family. Grimly, Magnum prepares to deal out his own brand of justice--a vendetta that well may prove disastrous to a prisoner exchange being negotiated by the US government. Though he receives no screen credit, this episode is narrated by CNN news commentator Bernard Shaw, ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
