SHANNON'S FUNERAL

At Shannon's funeral Sayid steps up to do the eulogy.

Quote:

Sayid: Shannon and I were strangers. We never would have met if - We wouldn't eve have spoken if - But we did meet and we did speak. At least - I loved her.
(Sayid walks away. Jack grabs a handful of dirt to pour on Shannon's grave.)
Jack: May she rest in peace.
(Locke, Sun, Claire start filing past the grave to put the ritual handful of dirt on the grave.)

THE STORY OF JOSIAH - THE BOOK OF LAW

After watching the Dharma film, Eko leaves and comes back with the Bible they had found in the second hatch. He proceeds to tell Locke the story of Josiah and the Book of Law.

Quote:

Eko: Hello. I have something I think you should see. If you don't mind, I will begin at the beginning. Long before Christ the king of Judah was a man named Josiah.
Locke: Boy when you say beginning, you mean beginning.
Eko: At that time the temple where the people worshipped was in ruin. And so the people worshipped idols, false gods. And so the kingdom was in disarray. Joseiah, since he was a good king, sent his secretary to the treasury and said: "We must rebuild the temple. Give all of the gold to the workers so that this will be done." But when the secretary returned, he had no gold. And when Josiah asked why this was the secretary replied, "We found a book." Do you know this story?
Locke: No, I'm afraid I don't.
Eko: What the secretary had found was an ancient book - the Book of Law. You may know it as the Old Testament. And it was with that ancient book, not wit the gold, that Josiah rebuilt the temple. On the other side of the island we found a place much like this, and in this place we found a book. (Eko unwraps the book and pushes it toward Locke) I believe what's inside there will be of great value to you.
Excerpt from What Kate Did, written by Steven Maeda and Craig Wright.

The first 5 books of the Old Testament make up the first section of LAW. The books in this section are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books were written by Moses, the great servant of God.

ARE WE SAVED?

When Sawyer finally comes out of his delirium he looks around and wonders where he is. Kate tells him he's in a bunk bed and Sawyer seems amazed. He uses an interesting choice of words.

Quote:

Sawyer: Are we saved?
Kate: No, Sawyer. Not yet.

He doesn't say, Are we rescued?, but he uses the word "saved". It seems significant especially after last season when we hear Sawyer on the raft singing the Redemption Song. Does this mean they have a ways to go before they are actually "saved".

Michael goes to see an attorney about preventing Susan from taking Walt out of the country when the attorney tells him that Susan wants him to sign his parental right away so Brian can adopt Walt. The attorney explains that it will be very expensive.
