Born to Run

Born to Run aired on May 11, 2005, and shares its title with the Bruce Springsteen song. Tucker Gates directed, and it is the first script by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who wrote 21 episodes together and later created Once Upon a Time.

Where things stand: Michael’s raft is almost finished, and with only so many places on board, everyone has to decide whether they want to leave. Sayid and Locke are at odds after The Greater Good, and the camp has picked up new suspicions.

This is Kate’s third episode as the focus, after Tabula Rasa and Whatever the Case May Be. She tries to win a spot on the raft, and someone poisons Michael. There are three episodes left in the season after this one, and the pace picks up from here.
