Storyline

Juliet invites Sun along the night to submit to a medical ultrasound examination in a facility of The Others hidden in an old Dharma station to determine the date of conception of the fetus. Juliet discloses that all women that became pregnant in the island had died, driving Sun to a dilemma about who could be the father of the baby. Sun recalls when she was blackmailed by a mysterious woman about the origins of Jin and his impoverished background. Meanwhile in the jungle, Desmond, Charlie, Jin, and Hurley capture Mikhail, the mysterious Russian man (first presumed dead), and he makes an offer: he could heal the wounded woman, named Naomi who parachuted onto the island via helicopter, if they release him after the conclusion of the medical procedures.

During the sequence in which Jin finds the money Sun will use to pay his mother off (at around 1 min), Jin enters the apartment wearing a red tie. As the cameras cut back and forth through the scene, Jin can suddenly be seen wearing a striped blue tie. The colors of the tie alternate between red and striped blue throughout the scene.

Moments of Truth, In the Most Intriguing Conclusion of "Lost"

Juliet invites Sun along the night to submit to a medical ultrasonography examination in a facility of The Others hidden in the hatch to determine the date of conception of the fetus. Juliet discloses that the women that became pregnant in the island had died, driving Sun to a dilemma about who could be the father of the baby. Meanwhile she recalls when she was blackmailed by a stranger about the origins of Jin. Desmond, Charles, Jin and Hurley capture Mikhail and he makes an offer: he could heal the wounded woman if they release him after the conclusion of the medical procedures.

The last minute of "D.O.C." is certainly the most intriguing conclusion of "Lost", when Naomi tells the fate of the Oceanic Airlines Flight 815. There are many moments of truth in this episode centered in Sun, like when she finds who the father of her baby is or the secret about Jin's mother. The evil Juliet may hate Ben, but I believe I hate this despicable woman most. Unfortunately Sayid is not in the group leaded by Desmond to "take care" of Mikhail; I believe Desmond will regret his decision. Further, in my opinion every viewer and fan of "Lost" is anxiously expecting the next episode. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
