Season 2 began airing in the United States and Canada on September 21, 2005 and featured 23 episodes[33] airing on Wednesdays at 9:00. Most of the story, which continues 45 days after the crash, focuses on the main conflict between the survivors and the Others, with the continued clash between faith and science being thematic in certain episodes. While some mysteries are resolved, new questions are raised. New characters are introduced, including the tail-section survivors and other island inhabitants. More island mythologies and insights into the survivors' pasts are divulged. The hatch is explored and the existence of The DHARMA Initiative and its benefactor, The Hanso Foundation, are revealed. As the truth about the mysterious Others begins to unfold, one of the crash survivors betrays the other castaways, and the cause of the plane crash is revealed.
Season 3
The third season continues 68 days after the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, set on November 28, 2004. At the end of the second season, three of the crash survivors: Jack, Kate and Sawyer – who are arguably the three most important characters of the show – were captured by the mysterious island inhabitants known as "The Others." The Others' apparent leader is a man who was captured in the middle of the second season and used the alias "Henry Gale." Meanwhile, near the survivors' camp on the beach, Locke, Mr. Eko, Charlie and Desmond argued over whether to continue entering the numbers into a computer in a workstation that was previously operated by a group of scientists known as the DHARMA Initiative. Locke became frustrated and destroyed the computer, which caused the station to implode and a purple light shone over the sky, which was accompanied by a harsh ringing sound.
[edit] Island plot summary
The activities of the Others immediately prior to the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 are revealed, as they are shown to have been living in modern suburban houses in a previously unseen section of the island. Their leader appears to be Benjamin Linus, known as Henry Gale among the survivors.
Jack, Kate and Sawyer are imprisoned and under surveillance by Ben's cameras on a small island offshore from the main island where they had lived previously. Kate and Sawyer are kept in outdoor cages, apparently designed for polar bears. They are forced to do hard labor. Jack is kept inside the “Hydra,” an underwater DHARMA Initiative station. He is interrogated by an Other named Juliet, who does not show the same reverence to Ben as do the rest of the Others. Jack finds out that Ben has a spinal tumor, and the operation Ben needs is the main reason for Jack’s captivity. During Ben’s surgery, Jack incises Ben's kidney sack, which will cause Ben to bleed to death in one hour unless Jack repairs it. This forces Tom into letting Jack use his walkie talkie to contact Kate, and inform her that she and Sawyer have an hour to escape.
Hurley informs the survivors of the capture of Jack, Kate, and Sawyer, whom Locke vows to rescue. Hoping to communicate with the Others, Locke returns to the Pearl station with a group. Among the group is Desmond, who survived the hatch’s implosion and seems to have gained the ability to forecast future events. Sayid manages to repair one of the various television monitors and they see an eyepatch-wearing occupant of what seems to be a Dharma station, who stares at the camera before disconnecting it. Meanwhile, the “smoke monster" lures Mr. Eko into the jungle by taking the form of his deceased brother Yemi, and then beats Eko to death. Locke finds Eko and notices an inscription on Eko's "Jesus stick" quoting the Bible, seeming to tell Locke to "Lift up [his] eyes and look north."
The survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 have been stranded on the island for 73 days (set at December 3, 2004) at the end of the sixth episode.
