One of the stand out episodes in Losts groundbreaking first season.
Terry O'Quinn is phenomenal once again as the second John Locke centric episode reveals his relationship with his estranged father (Anthony Cooper) and how this develops overtime.
A stand-out scene plays out when Locke awakes from his operation, having previously agreed to donate a kidney to his dying father and being greeted by an empty hospital bed beside him where his father should be resting.
Locke subsequently finds out from his mother moments later that it was all a con and that she was paid to make this happen. It is further revealed that she was tasked with helping John find his father so that he could manipulate Locke into donating his kidney, with the intention of cutting contact once the operation was performed.
O'Quinns acting in this scene displays why he won an Emmy for this role in 2007. The subsequent scene in which he immediately leaves the hospital having just had major surgery in an attempt to confront his father but to no avail. Couple this with his heartbreak due to his fathers rejection is simply heart wrenching to watch and the score by (Michael Giacchino - Locke'd Out Again) completes the final scene of the episode which builds up to one of the seasons biggest cliffhangers.
10/10.
