After avenging the villagers, Locke left Bisi Island with Big Bear and the others, then became lost at sea before reaching an uncharted island. While the group explored the island, Locke discovered an underground tunnel, and Carmen and Annie found a cabin as Big Bear and Second Bear rushed toward them.
