A Sun episode. We learn the origins of Jin and Sun's relationship, but also sees the seeds of its undoing. How Jin came to be so controlling and what Sun planned to do about it are revealed, so we begin to see Jin as more than a potential wife-beater and Sun as more than a wilting lily.
Sun represents quiet strength and resolve. She also symbolizes rebirth and second chances. She's a nurturer by nature, which is why she will plant a garden, help heal with her herbs and, quite possibly, why she took to Jin in the first place.
MAJOR PLOT POINTS
Sun comes from high society, the daughter of a rich businessman. Jin, the son of a fisherman, is merely a waiter, but the two fall madly in love. Jin, though, must sell his soul to the devil, in this case Sun's father, in order to gain her hand in marriage; he must go to work for her father.
Returning home bloody one evening, we learn of Jin's sinister side. A fed up Sun slaps him when he won't explain himself, but Jin grows more possessive. Eventually, we learn of Sun's own infidelity as well as her plot to escape from Jin's tyranny. But a chance encounter with a flower at the airport, Jin sweetly gives her a bud as he did when first trying to woo her, reminds her that she still loves her husband.
On the island, the group discovers the caves, which are a source of water. They also discover Adam and Eve, a pair of corpses at the caves ringed by black and white stones. Yin and Yang, anybody? Jack suggests moving to the caves rather than lugging water to the beach every day, but not everyone is so easily convinced. Many haven't given up the notion of rescue. Kate is among those who refuse to settle at the caves.
Locke's role as soothsayer/savior is further developed when he correctly predicts that Charlie will again see his guitar but also confronts him about his heroin addiction. Locke offers to help Charlie get clean.
