Meeting "The Others"

Michael is drowning and Sawyer saves him, while Jin is missing. Michael recalls his fight against Susan for Walt in the justice. They drift on a wreckage of the raft, with the menace of a shark. Michael blames Sawyer for the abduction of Walt and promises to bring his son back. Kate releases herself and escapes through a ventilation duct. Michael and Sawyer reach the beach, and they see Jin escaping from "The Others".

This is one of the best episodes of "Lost". The story is very dramatic and tense, and it is impossible to stop watching. Fortunately the next episode will come soon. My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): Not Available.

Note: On 24 March 2013, I saw this episode again.
