316
Synopsis
Before you watch
316 aired on February 18, 2009. Stephen Williams directed, and Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse wrote it. The title is just a number, and this is a show that has always cared about numbers.
Where things stand: Jin has seen Rousseau’s story for himself, and Locke has had to leave the Island. Off it, the Oceanic Six have spent the season being told they must go back.
This is a Jack episode. The Oceanic Six find a way back to the Island, and that is all you should know. Off-Island, the crew filmed at the chapel of Sacred Hearts Academy, a Catholic girls’ school in Kaimukī run since 1909, with its chapel facing Waiʻalae Avenue. On the Island side, Waimea Valley on the North Shore returns, a location the show first used in the first season. Watch it with no distractions.
