Plot

The surviving members of the supposed "rescue team" are scattered around the island. Once they are located, they reluctantly reveal that they are indeed not there to rescue the Oceanic 815 survivors.

Four members of a supposed "rescue team" arrive on the island and are forced to bail out. They include scientist Daniel Faraday whom is found by Jack and Kate's group as well Miles Straume, a "spirit talker" and they try to find their grounded helicopter and their pilot, Frank Lapidus. Research specialist Charlotte Lewis is found by Locke, Claire, and their group where Ben knows Charlotte and that they are not here on the island to rescue them. At the beach camp, Sayid is also wary about the rescue people whom he suspects are there to mean them harm. Also, backgrounds are shown of the four "rescue party" members, Faraday, Charlotte, Miles, Frank, and Naomi and how they were recruited by a shady "third party" to find the mysterious island.—Anonymous

Fractions develop within the team as they struggle to decide if Naomi is here to rescue them, or if there is an ulterior motive. There are more jumps to the future, and back again to the island, as we learn more about the fate of Flight Oceanic 815. The arrival of the rest of Naomi's team further fuels debate about whether they can trust them, as Ben begins to let on that he knows more than he is divulging.
