Flashback: Michael & Arzt
Synopsis: Arzt is following an insect in the jungle, and catches it in a jar just as he arrives at the beach. Michael comes and asks what the weather conditions will be for the launch of the raft. Arzt says he does not know, and admits that he made up the whole Monsoon Season scenario, because he wanted to launch the raft as soon as possible. He then talks about a woman he met over the Internet, and that he went to Sydney to meet her at a restaurant. They went there, but she disappeared and never returned. Then he says that he could of stayed in Sydney, but decided to book an early flight, Oceanic Airlines Flight 815. He apologizes for lying, and Michael says that the raft is finished.
