A prominent theme from the first scene of the season is the exploration of the Hatch that was discovered in Season 1. It is revealed to be a scientific bunker of some sort, which has running water and electricity, is well stocked with food, and has a 1970s era computer, which, according to its previous occupant, Desmond, must have the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 typed into it every 108 minutes, or "the world will end." A black and white "flip card" timer on the wall counts the minutes down, and an alarm sounds four minutes before the deadline.Desmond, after giving instructions about how to operate The Swan, flees.The survivors debate whether or not to trust Desmond's instructions, but set up shifts to keep watch. They gradually learn through bits of filmstrip that what they had referred to as "the hatch" is actually the "Swan station", one of several different DHARMA Initiative stations.Sawyer and Michael deal with the chaos after the attack on their raft, and the disappearance of Jin and Walt. They create a makeshift raft from floating wreckage, and the currents push them back to the island, where they encounter a panicked Jin, and then the tail section survivors, who are led by Ana Lucía. She initially directs that Sawyer, Jin and Michael be held captive, but they eventually reconcile, and then all head together to the other side of the island to reunite with the rest of the survivors. Along the way, they worry about contact with The Others, and in a moment of confusion, Ana Lucia shoots and kills Shannon.Claire learns how to be a new mother, and wrestles with whether or not to trust Charlie, who at one point suffers delusions that he has to protect the baby, but his actions in fact endanger the child. This is part of a theme of dreams and hallucinations that afflict many of the survivors, in ways both good and bad. The Others become a more visible presence in this season, though they often try to disguise their name and appearances. Tom, for example, wears a fake beard. In one encounter with The Others, Tom tells the survivors, "This is not your island, this is our island, and the only reason you're living on it is because we let you live on it." He also scolds them for "opening doors that they shouldn't be opening".Rousseau captures a man who identifies himself as "Henry Gale, from Minnesota", another castaway on the island who had arrived by balloon. He insists at first that he is not one of The Others, but the survivors doubt his story, hold him captive in The Swan, and brutally interrogate him. He maintains his story for several days, but finally confesses when faced with proof of his deception (the ID of the real Henry Gale), he admits that he is indeed one of "The Others".At the same time Locke, who became trapped before he could enter the number codes, asks Henry Gale to enter the codes by crawling through the air vents. As the countdown reaches zero, a map appears on a blast door, detailing an octagonal arrangement of stations on the island.Later, Gale claims to have never entered the code as everything returns to normal, tarnishing Locke's beliefs.Following dreams and the map, Eko and Locke discover the central "?"(Pearl) station, which appears to be a station designed to observe the occupants of the other stations. When they learn that its earlier occupants were tasked with observing their own Swan station, Locke believes that entering the numbers is merely a psychological experiment, and does not "save the world". This puts Locke, who had originally been a strong proponent of entering the numbers, into a crisis of faith, but seems to make Eko even more sure of what he must do, and they switch roles. Inside, Locke also finds a printout of the log entry of the numbers from the Swan computer.Michael continues to seek his kidnapped son, Walt. After an apparent conversation with his son on the computer in The Swan, he makes his way alone to find "The Others" at their camp. He is allowed to spend three minutes...
