Poor Locke! The old dog finally shakes the ghost of his father, and then, after learning of his death via the weekly obit column, discovers that he’s not really dead. To make matters worse, he asks Peggy Bundy to marry him, only to get denied and sent packing. AND THEN… back on Temptation Island (oh wait, that’s a different show), he gets trapped inside the hatch alone with Creepy Balloon Guy, and when they manage to jar open the blast door, it falls right onto John’s legs. Ouch. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking down, and when it hits zero (or does it?), all of the normal lights go out. Then, several blacklights turn on and reveal… a giant map with a big question mark in the middle drawn in pink invisible ink on the very blast door that Locke is trapped beneath.
As Locke waits for help (none of which he gets because Jack and Sawyer are in the middle of a pissing match), Charlie, Sayid and Ana locate the smiley face balloon and the supposed grave of Creepy Balloon Guy’s wife. What the trio discovers, however, is not the body of a dead woman, but rather a dead black man with a driver’s license that reads: Henry Gale, the alias that Creepy Balloon Guy has been using for the past few weeks. Uh-oh! Someone’s been caught with their hand in the cookie jar!
