Season 2, Episode 11: The Hunting Party

The unraveling Jack's life before arriving on the island continues to unfold, while Michael's quest to find Walt leads several survivors into an encounter with The Others. And nearly costs Kate her life.

MAJOR PLOT POINTS

After successfully repairing Sarah's crushed spine (and marrying her), Jack's exploits take on a life of their own. A wealthy Italian man, Angelo Busoni, who has a supposedly inoperable spinal tumor, comes to Jack hoping he'll attempt to perform another miracle. Christian disapproves of Jack taking on the case, but he decides to try anyway.

Falling for the man's daughter, Gabriela Busoni, Jack performs the surgery after months of preparation. More than seven hours into surgery, and with the tumor nearly excised, Angelo dies. Christian, having noticed that Jack is falling for Gabriela and knowing that his son wouldn't brutalize himself for being unfaithful, tells the daughter and sends her on her way before Jacks sees her after surgery. But she waits for him in the parking lot and the two share a passionate kiss, which he decides to tell Sarah about that night. She then tells Jack she was leaving him anyway and that she's seeing someone else.

On the island, Jack awakens to find Locke unconscious. Michael then forces Jack into the same room and locks up both he and Locke after stealing some weapons to go after Walt. When Kate and Sawyer show up to get his bandages changed, they enter the code in the hatch computer and free Locke and Jack. Jack insists they must go after Michael. Locke and Sawyer opt to go too, but Jack forbids Kate from going.

Hot on Michael's trail, the trio hear gunshots in the jungle and are able to figure out it was an exchange between Michael and someone else. Still unable to find Michael, night falls on Sawyer, who is out for revenge, Jack and Locke. The man who kidnapped Walt from the boat appears as The Others surround the trio. They have a message: Walt is fine, but the survivors need to learn their place and stay on their side of the island. Defiant, Jack, Locke and Sawyer are convinced to give up the guns when The Others threaten Kate's life. She had followed the trio and was captured by The Others.

Angry that she defied him, Jack barely talks to Kate and barely accepts her apology on the way back to camp, where he asks Ana Lucia how long she thinks it would take to train an army. Meanwhile, Hurley's infatuation with Libby deepens.

QUOTABLE

"
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?" — Locke when Jack says couldn't just let Michael run off without going after him
