Three Minutes
Synopsis
Before you watch
Three Minutes aired on May 17, 2006, the last week before the finale. Stephen Williams directed, and Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz wrote it. Williams later looked back on this episode in an interview with the official magazine.
Where things stand: Eko and Locke have gone looking for the question mark from the blast door map. Michael has come back to camp with a plan, after violence in the Hatch. Henry Gale is still a prisoner, and the camp is more divided than it has been all season.
This is Michael’s third episode as the focus, after Special and Adrift. His time with the Others is revealed, and there is a funeral. Michael has wanted only one thing since the first day, and this episode shows where that has taken him. Watch it close to the finale if you can.
