Flashback
Claire realizes that she is pregnant.
Claire leaves the bathroom and her beau, Thomas, asks her what the result is. She has merely taken a pregnancy test and the two panic about the consequence. Time elapses, and Claire realizes that she is indeed with child. The thought petrifies her, but Thomas reassures her. He says that he loves her, and that a infant might be "the best matter ever." ♪
After, Claire discusses the situation with her friend Rachel, telling Rachel how excited she was. They make it at the home of a psychic, Richard Malkin, whom Rachel has convinced her friend to see. Inside, the psychic reads Claire's palm and immediately congratulates her on her pregnancy. He remarks that things are a bit blurry and asks if she's sure she wants to keep and she says yes. His face then tightens, as though he has seen something frightening. He swiftly returns Claire'southward money and refuses to continue the reading, ushering the two women out.
Thomas tells Claire that he is leaving her.
Back at her apartment, Claire is busy childproofing and redecorating the identify. Nonetheless, Thomas quickly causes her mood to change, saying that he cannot do this anymore. The reality of having a child has given Thomas cold feet, and he mentions Claire's "daddy abandonment problems" in an endeavour to lay the arraign on her for his pulling away in the relationship. The two begin to contend and Thomas continues with his cold comments, saying that Claire was supposed to be taking the contraception pill and insinuating that she intentionally got significant.
Malkin performs a second reading.
The psychic opens his door to find Claire there, requesting a second reading. She jokes as he counts her cash, and the psychic notes that Claire has been dumped. He asks if she wishes to continue after what he saw terminal fourth dimension, and she agrees. He says it is crucial that Claire raises the child herself, and her goodness must influence her babe'due south evolution. Claire says she will put the baby up for adoption unless Thomas returns, but Malkin insists that she must mind. As he continues to shout, Claire runs abroad in fear.
At night, Claire wakes up as her phone rings. On the other end is Malkin, who has apparently been calling Claire for months now. He again insists she keeps the baby, and he says he has a programme. Claire, however, does not listen and hangs upwardly on him.
Claire faces the decision of whether to requite away her child.
Now at a solicitor'due south office, Claire is finalizing details of adoption to Arlene and Joseph Stewart. They hold that Claire will have no legitimate rights to the child, and that she volition be paid upon the kid'due south nativity. Before she signs the document, she requests that the Stewarts sing the vocal "Catch a Falling Star" to the baby, as her father sang it to her equally a kid. She tries to sign, but the pen is not working. The lawyer passes her another, but again ink does non come out. As a third is passed to her, Claire begins to have 2nd thoughts, and she runs abroad. ♪
Malkin once more than opens his door to notice Claire, who tells him she is ready to listen to his programme. Inside, Claire is told that a couple in Los Angeles are "good people," and that they will have good care of the kid.

On the Island
Day 15
Locke's eyes in Claire's dream.
Claire wakes up in the night. She hears a baby's weep. Claire sits up with a confused and concerned expression on her face; she looks down and feels her stomach, noticing that she is not pregnant. She hears the cry again and starts off into the jungle in a shock, looking for the source of the crying. Claire sees a light in the jungle and walks toward information technology, where she encounters Locke sitting at the tabular array at which she received her psychic reading; the psychic's electrical lamp is also present. Equally she approaches, Locke is drawing tarot cards from a deck one past one as he stares down at the table. The first carte makes the sound of a metal against metallic, like a pocketknife existence unsheathed. They exchange a few brief words:
- CLAIRE: What's happening?
- LOCKE: You know what's happening.
- CLAIRE: Just I don't sympathise. Why --?
- LOCKE: He was your responsibility but yous gave him away, Claire. Everyone pays the price now.
-
Locke in Claire'due south dream.
-
Equally Locke finishes saying this, he looks upwardly at her with a creepy expression on his face; he has one black heart and one white eye. Claire hears a baby'due south weep and runs into the jungle. She finds a crib with a plane mobile and pulls the blankets back, finding a thick dark puddle of blood. She wakes up from this nightmare and she begins screaming. Claire stands in the caves screaming hysterically; Charlie grabs her to stop her screams and fighting as she wakes up. She eventually calms downwards; Charlie notices her bloody hands and asks what happened.
Claire tells Jack about what happened during the night.
In the forenoon, Jack sees to her easily, commenting that she must accept had "one hell of a nightmare" to accept "dug their nails 1/4 of an inch into their palms". Claire implies that possibly it was not a nightmare, only Jack shrugs the event off as sleepwalking and stress.He begins to ask questions about Claire'south pregnancy.
(Flashback#1)
At the beach, Jack finds Kate watching the ocean. The 2 begin to flirt as Kate explains that she is sinking in the sand due to the effect of the waves. She remarks that Sayid has been gone for nigh a week, but Jack says, "Something tells me he'll be okay." Then, with a concerned look on his face, he tells Kate that Claire will have the babe soon.
Charlie and Claire sit in the jungle having a quiet moment with a cup of tea. They talk nearly her nightmare, and Charlie says that if she ever needs annihilation, he is there for her. She seems touched, but does not answer, and Charlie interprets that as a hint that he should get.
Charlie promises to protect Claire.
Once again at night, Claire sees a human being covering her mouth and stabbing her breadbasket with a needle. She wakes, screaming loudly merely like the night earlier. She says that someone attacked her, and Charlie and Hurley go to spotter the surface area. Jack and Michael try to comfort her, but Claire is determined that what she saw was existent and that someone truly was trying to hurt her babe. The result leads Hurley to realize that none of the survivors has any idea of who their fellow survivors on the Island actually are. He wants to start a census of who everyone is, where they alive (in the caves or on the beach), and other information nearly them. Meanwhile, Charlie reassures Claire that he will watch over her all night.
Day sixteen
Jack doesn't believe Claire's claims.
The next day, Hurley asks Locke questions almost his background and his reason for traveling to Australia. John answers the questions, saying he came to Sydney "looking for something" and he has lived most of his life in Tustin, California. Farther downwards the coast, Jack tells Charlie and Kate that he thinks Claire is simply dreaming. Charlie cannot believe he is suggesting that Claire is lying, but Jack attributes it to the stress and emotional imbalance of her pregnancy on the Island.
In the jungle, Hurley questions Ethan Rom. Ethan answers the questions, saying he is from Ontario. He asks what the census is for, and Hurley says he only "thought it would exist a good idea." At the caves, Jack tries to tactfully tell Claire he thinks she should take some sedatives. Claire realizes Jack thinks she is making everything up. Packing her things, she decides to go back to the beach, which she thinks is safer than the caves. Charlie catches upwardly with her, and escorts her for her protection, despite her telling him to leave her alone. ♪
Shannon mocks Hurley's attempts to make a demography of the survivors.
At the beach, Hurley has begun questioning Shannon, who is preparing to move to the caves. She answers his questions: her name is Shannon Rutherford, she is xx, and her address is "Craphole Island". She and Boone ask Hurley why he is making the list, and he tells them what may have happened to Claire. Shannon suddenly drops her bags, telling Boone they are now definitely non moving to "the rape caves." Boone shrugs off Shannon's words and tells Hurley about the flight manifest. He says the names of the dead have been crossed off, so it should be a full roster of who is left on the Island. Hurley asks who has it, and Boone replies, "Who do you retrieve?" Immediately realizing who he means, Hurley heads to Sawyer's tent. Rather than demand the manifest, Hurley uses the calm arroyo of analyzing the con human, pointing out he could utilise the points amid the Islanders. The tactic is successful; Sawyer gives Hurley the manifest.
Charlie tells Ethan to get Jack at once, as he thinks Claire is near to have the baby.
As Claire and Charlie continue heading to the beach, Claire begins to experience contractions. Charlie offers to deliver the baby himself, but in his nervousness he reveals that he is a recovering drug addict. Claire flatly tells him to get Jack at once. Charlie finds Ethan and tells him to detect Jack immediately. Charlie returns to Claire and helps her calm downwardly. She tells him about the psychic she in one case visited, and while she thinks he was incorrect, Charlie says peradventure he knew of their fate. Claire becomes convinced Malkin put her on the flying knowing what would happen. She starts to experience amend, and Charlie remembers that Jack told him about stress causing a imitation labor. The relationship between the 2 is now completely mended, and they decide to caput back to the caves. ♪
Claire stands frozen to the spot.
There, Jack and Kate are shocked to see Sayid stumble in. Sayid is severely dehydrated and delirious, speaking of the French adult female. He ominously adds that "we are non alone" before fainting. Before they can properly take care of him, Hurley shows upwards to talk about his list. He has cross-referenced all the names he collected with those on the flight manifest, and found that ane of them was not on the latter. That person was non on the plane.
As Charlie and Claire begin their trek back, they are greeted past Ethan. Beginning to feel uncomfortable, they ask where Jack is. Ethan simply stares at Claire, and a frightened look forms on her confront.
