Danielle Rousseau arrives in the camp of survivors at the beach and advises that "The Others" are coming. There is black smoke in the sky, and they have three choices: run, hide, or die. Jack recalls his meeting with Ana-Lucia Cortez in the airport. Meanwhile, the group is about to launch the raft. Sawyer tells Jack the conversation he had with his father in a bar in Australia. Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley and Leslie Arzt go on an expedition to bring explosives from the Black Rock to blow the hatch. There they can shelter the survivors against "The Others". Meanwhile, Jin and Sun make peace and there are farewells to Michael, Walt, Sawyer and Jin as they finally set sail on their makeshift raft to find help and safety.

Honestly, Lost has never been able to reach the height of "amazing" that it did in Part 1 of its first season finale. Now, I'm not saying the show "is in decline" or "it sucks now and it didn't before." I'm just saying that this episode had it all.
First off, let me say Daniel Roebuck turns it out as Arzt, and his banter with Hurley is the stuff dreams are made of. It's too bad he isn't a regular on the show because in my mind his character would be some comic gold for the beleaguered and heavily dramatized survivors of Oceanic 815.
The episode gives us plenty to love. Danielle shows up again to the chagrin of some of the survivors and to the joy of the viewers... Michael and company float away, and the rest of the gang seems to be in a fight for their lives.
But Arzt makes this episode.
