Days Left Until 3.07 “Not In Portland” (as of the time of writing): 78
You know the horns. They sounded when the Others brought Jack out of the compound so that Kate and Sawyer couldn’t yell to him. They sounded when Karl tried to help Sawyer escape from the cages. But do you know another time they sounded? In the second season?
Let’s take a look back at 2.15 “Maternity Leave”. Alex drugs Claire (in flashback to the time Claire was gone in the first season) in the Staff, and starts to drag her out. But we don’t see Alex do the whole thing. The next thing we see is Claire lying down in the jungle. No Alex anywhere. Now, right when the scene begins, listen for the horns… You’ll hear a strong blare to start out, and then, every two seconds or so, another one will sound, getting quieter each time. Try it a couple times and you’ll come to the same conclusion I did: they are the same horn.
If they are indeed the same horn, what does it Here’s two things it could mean:
- Alex got out of the Staff with Claire without being noticed. Once they were in the jungle, the Others came to get Claire out of her room, and finding she wasn’t there, sounded the alarm, and went out into the jungle to find her. Alex heard the alarms and ran.
- Or, the Others saw Alex as she was getting Claire out. Alex dropped Claire off in the jungle and ran.
Those two aren’t very different. The difference lies in if the Others found out it was Alex who got Claire out of there. Let’s think for a moment that they did know it was Alex. Could this be why she became an outcast from the Others? Or was she already an outcast because of something previous?
If Alex’s saving of Claire is why she was an outcast, it makes you wonder if Karl, who seems to be her fellow outcast, had a part in saving Claire, or if he became an outcast because of something different.
Ponder.
