The first 30 episodes of Lost have concentrated on the survivors in the fuselage, and only recently have we discovered that there were survivors in the tail section (the "tailies"). This episode tells the story of their first 48 days on the island.

The first night, some of their number were taken by The Others. More may have been lost, but Mr. Eko killed two of those trying to capture them, and that scared them away. As a result of taking these lives, Mr. Eko decided not to talk for the next forty days, a decision that Ana-Lucia didn't particularly like.

Soon, The Others returned to take the children from the group. As a result, the tailies decided to move inland, and soon Ana-Lucia started to dig her pit (seen first in Orientation). She put Nathan in the pit, thinking he was a mole for The Others, but after four days in the pit, Goodwin let him out and told him to get lost before Ana-Lucia killed him. As he turned to leave, Goodwin killed him.

The next day, they found Arrow Station, long ago abandoned by the Dharma Initiative. It still contained a number of goods, however, including a radio, so Ana-Lucia and Goodwin climbed the mountain to see if they could get a decent signal, and it was there that she confronted Goodwin about being one of The Others (and killing Nathan).

Realizing that he had no way out, and no explanation for how he was not wet when he came running out of the jungle after "finding" Bernard in the tree, Goodwin admitted to Ana-Lucia that he was indeed one of The Others, and that the children were fine. Then they fought and Goodwin died when he fell on the stake Ana-Lucia was carrying.

After she came down the mountain, Ana-Lucia told the rest of the tailies that they were safe now and could make camp.

That's when they met Jin, and shortly thereafter, Michael and Sawyer on the beach, and all of them ended up in Ana-Lucia's pit. Ana-Lucia had Mr. Eko hit her, to pretend to be a victim of The Others, and used the sympathy to get close to Sawyer, where she took advantage of the situation to get his gun. Then they started off across the island on their fateful trek that resulted in Shannon's death at the other end of Ana-Lucia's gun.

When Dana's new boyfriend sees Ruby, he wants to know if she can model in a commercial. The reaction is so-so until Jim finds out that she will make $1500, and then it's on! Cheryl still isn't sure, but she goes along for this one time - but naturally it is never quite that simple with Jim around. By the time they come home from the shoot, he has an agent for Ruby.

Andy, meanwhile, can't figure out why no one will remember him as a child star - yet when someone finally does remember him (a woman at another audition), he can't remember that she was a child star herself. Figures. So he begins to be the creepy guy who makes other kids cry in order to try and get Ruby the job. It doesn't work.

In the end, it's a whole lot of running back and forth, and Ruby doesn't get even a second job, so she gets discouraged and decides that it is just more fun to have some wrestling moves on her bed with Jim. Then everyone is happy. Except maybe Andy. But no one really pays attention to him anyway.

The introduction to this episode also has Jim in bed talking to Cheryl, but in reality it's the family dog - Gary Sinise.

As Thanksgiving nears, Jim and Andy decide to hunt their turkey. So they head across the state line (to Indiana) to a place that lets you shoot your own. Meanwhile, Cheryl and Dana have a bet going that one of them will get shot in the butt with an arrow.

The guide tells them about Angry Pete, a 40-pound Tom that just won't be shot, and so naturaly Andy and Jim head off in the opposite direction of the guide to see if they can catch him. Unfortunately they get bored before long and decide to take a break after shooting a few arrows at a bunny rabbit.

Jim sits his crossbow down on the ground while he uses the bushes and wouldn't you know it - out comes Angry Pete, and he doesn't look happy. The first thing he does is peck at Jim's crossbow and there goes the arrow - right into Jim's butt. Looks like Dana is the winner of the bet.

Not wanting to be shown that he can't hunt, Jim has Andy pick up a turkey at the store, but he buys a frozen one, which gives them away. So as not to let a turkey get the best of him, Jim and Andy return to try and get Pete, but they can't even find him, so they head back home - and run over him with the truck. At least they got him.

While it seems that Jericho was spared from the blast (at least, from any initial blast), they appear to be in trouble now. There's a storm brewing over towards Denver, and that means that any radioactivity in the air will be brought down onto the people - and the pets, and the ground, and everything else. Luckily there are two shelters in town, and a whole lot of basements. Unfortunately, only one of the shelters works. The other one seems okay, but there isn't an air supply.
