Synopsis

Vincent is trotting through the jungle, as we follow his point of view. After moving past a bag of luggage with clothes strewn about, he hears a whistle. It is Christian Shephard, who calls the Labrador closer. Christian tells Vincent to go wake up his son, who is unconscious and not far away. As the dog trots off, Christian adds, "He has work to do." We then see the opening moments of "Pilot, Part 1": Jack's eye opens as he awakens disoriented in a bamboo grove and Vincent approaches. They look at each other for a moment before Vincent trots off.

Literary techniques

Christian Shephard's presence on the Island seems to contradict the theories of certain fans that he was a vision of Jack's. (Mindf*ck)
The title "So It Begins" is used for the final episode of the Missing Pieces. (Irony)
