Another early Locke flashback. Both of his parents (Emily Locke and Anthony Cooper) are introduced and we see how manipulative they both are towards John.

I was surprised, on rewatching, how much detail the writers gave to the beechcraft plane. They had Nigerian priest/drug dealer skeletons, the Virgin Mary statues with heroin, Bernard talking with Boone through the radio... impressive.

And of course, the ending with Locke pounding on the hatch only to have Desmond shine a light up at him. Very nice way to end the episode after the tragedy of the flashbacks.
