The secret behind Kate's past may be revealed when a sealed briefcase is found -- and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) isn't about to let anyone open it, least of all Sawyer (Josh Holloway). In flashback, we learn more about Kate's checkered past. In other developments, a pouty Shannon (Maggie Grace) won't use her knowledge of French to help Sayid (Naveen Andrews) decipher a mysterious missive. With Claire (Emilie de Raven) still missing, an unlikely friendship begins to develop between Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) and Rose (L. Scott Caldwell). And the plane's remaining fuselage may disappear without a trace as the result of an unpreventable force of nature. ~ Rovi

When Locke leads Kate and Michael on a hunt for food, a tantalizing secret about the island's most mysterious survivor suddenly comes to light. As Locke dreams about the moments just after the crash, Vincent's incessant barking wakes up the entire camp. Something is in the fuselage, and as the group attempts to get a better look by using a flashlight three wild boars come dashing out. Apparently the beasts had been attracted to the bodies that had been roasting in the fuselage for the last few days, leading Jack to recommend that the corpses be cremated. With food supplies running short, Locke recommends that the group go hunting the boars for meat - they can even use his personal collection of knives to slay the swine. As Locke reflects on his past, it's revealed that he was not the military man one would suspect but the average cubicle dweller. Later, Michael and Locke prepare to go out on the hunt while Sun keeps an eye on Walt and Sayid attempts to trace the source of the mysterious French transmission. Back on the beach, Claire collects the possessions of those killed in the crash in order to stage a eulogy. Claire asks Jack to conduct the ceremony but he refuses, leaving her reluctantly saddled with a weighty responsibility. Boone has noticed that a survivor named Rose has been sitting alone on the beach and refusing to east, though when he mentions it to Shannon she tells him to mind his own business. As the hunt continues, Locke hones in on the boar's tracks just as one of the beasts begins to charge. Immediately after, Locke drifts back to the time that he purchased the tickets for he and Helen to take an Australian walkabout and was casually rejected - leaving him more determined to slay the boar than ever. Meanwhile, Shannon attempts to manipulate Charlie into catching her a fish as Jack learns that Rose's husband Bernard is missing. Though she hasn't seen him since the crash, she instinctually knows that he is still alive. After Claire discovers an envelope marked for Sayid and containing a picture of a woman, Kate climbs a tree to attach an antennae to trace the broadcast and sees an enormous monster heading directly towards Locke. Jack too has noticed something in the trees, making a mad dash to find out just what it could be. Much to his surprise, it was just Locke returning with a wild boar for dinner. That night, as the fuselage is ignited and the memorial service begins, Michael asks Locke about the monster. While Locke claims to have seen nothing, it's obvious that he has more than his fare share of secrets. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The runaway hit of ABC's 2004-2005 TV season, the weekly, hour-long drama series Lost began at a point that in any other case may have been an ending: a passenger jet was torn apart in mid-air, crashing on an uncharted Pacific Island. Stripped of all vestiges of the civilized world, the 48 survivors were forced to fend for themselves in their new tropical surroundings, which departed from the "norm" for similar castaway dramas by boasting a bizarre and frequently incomprehensible topography, not to mention a most unusual variety of wildlife -- include at least one polar bear! Among the principal survivors were Dr. Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox); fugitive Kate Ryan (Evangeline Lilly); has-been rock star Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan); the reclusive and mysterious John Locke (Terry O'Quinn); hot-tempered and self-serving James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway); chauvinistic Korean husband Jin Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) and his much-put-upon wife, Sun (Yunjin Kim); resourceful former Iraqi Republican Guard Sayid (Naveen Andrews); estranged siblings Shannon Rutherford and Boone Carlisle (Maggie Grace, Ian Somerhalder) -- she's a bitch, he's a control freak; dad Michael Dawson (Harold Perrineau) and his sullen young son, Walt (Malcolm David Kelley); roly-poly comic relief Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia); and very pregnant Aussie Claire Littleton (Emilie de Raven). Forced to rely upon one another to stay alive, this diverse group shares a number of sinister secrets and oft-unsavory interrelationships, with the truth behind each character revealed piecemeal via flashbacks and little-unexpected twists of plot. Adding to the suspense, at least during the series' first season, was the apparent presence of a person not on the passenger list, who seemed determined to bump off the hapless castaways one by one, and a mysterious, terrifying yet unseen monster-like creature. Co-created by J.J. Abrams of Alias and Felicity fame, Lost debuted on September 22, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ben (Nick Stahl), tormented by his dreams, won't sleep. This troubles Lodz (Patrick Bauchau). "He doesn't sleep; he doesn't dream," he explains to Lila (Debra Christofferson). "He doesn't dream; he can't be reached." Sophie (Clea Duvall) shares a vision with Apollonia (Diane Salinger) of a tattooed man (Don Swayze) raping her mother. Sophie knows, intuitively, that she's witnessing her conception, and realizes that Apollonia is losing control of what she shares with her. With the carnival struggling financially, Samson (Michael J. Anderson) announces that they're putting on a "fireball" show, a no-holds-barred festival of scams including fake freaks, pickpockets, and the infamous "Man Eating Chicken." Lodz warns Ben that he'll have to learn to control his gift, or he'll endanger everyone he knows. Samson, losing his place at Management's side to the mentalist, gives Ben Scudder's watch fob and a bit of information about his father, and warns him not to trust Lodz. Sophie, worried about her mother's sanity, goes to Jonesy (Tim DeKay) for comfort. Jonesy tries to tell Rita Sue (Cynthia Ettinger) that their night of passion was a mistake, but their lust for each other won't abate. During Lodz's performance, Samson capriciously passes up the watch fob with the mysterious seal, and when the mentalist touches it, he has a seizure and horrifying visions. Ben begins assisting Ruthie (Adrienne Barbeau) with her snake-charming act. Meanwhile, Dolan (Robert Knepper) tries to get romantic with Iris (Amy Madigan), and she responds with horror. Justin (Clancy Brown) is released from the mental hospital, seemingly in full control of his terrifying powers. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

On this whimsical CBS dramedy with mystical overtones, Amber Tamblyn starred as Joan Girardi, an awkward, underachieving teenage girl. As the daughter of Arcadia's newly installed police chief, Will Girardi (Joe Mantegna), and the sister of a former high-school athletic star now confined to a wheelchair, Joan was pretty much resigned to the fact that she herself was nothing special, and never would be. Imagine Joan's surprise when she began receiving visits from God, who showed up in variety of mortal guises. It was possible that Joan was merely imagining these celestial drop-ins -- and just as possible that our heroine had been "chosen" for a higher purpose in life (though the deity didn't bother to tell her what that purpose was, but merely said that he needed her "to do some errands"). Joan of Arcadia debuted September 26, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Sydney (Jennifer Garner) and her father, Jack (Victor Garber), team up to rescue the SD-6 agents held hostage at the Credit Dauphine headquarters by vengeance-seeking former agent McKenas Cole (Quentin Tarantino) -- a mission that will require them to save the life of the hated Arvin Sloane (Ron Rifkin). Syd and Jack are aided by Vaughn (Michael Vartan), who defies CIA orders not to take a hand in the rescue efforts. Meanwhile, Will (Bradley Cooper) is on the verge of putting all the pieces together in the mystery of David's murder. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
