 The tail section of the airplane crashes in the ocean, and the 23 survivors reach the beach. They are led by the tough-minded Ana Lucia, the heroic Goodwin, the hulking West African Mr. Eko, as well as Bernard, Libby, and flight attendant Cindy. On the first night, they are attacked by "The Others" while sleeping at the beach and some of them are abducted, including two children. But Ana Lucia and Mr. Eko manage to fight them off, killing three of them. Further inspection show the others (two men and a woman) are barefoot, scruffy, people with near-super human strength and speed with the intelligence of genius s. Ana Lucia suspects that Nathan is one of the "others" who as infiltrated in the group and a few days later, she finds the truth but not before Bernard is killed. After 42 days, the five remaining tail crash survivors meet Jin, Michael, and Sawyer for the first time, leading to the events on Day 48 where they meet Shannon and Sayid in a tragic way.
