Plot summary
Claire Littleton 's boyfriend leaves her over her pregnancy and her psychic Richard Malkin warns her that the baby will be in danger if not raised properly. He gives her a ticket for Flight 815, insisting that a couple in Los Angeles can take it. In the present, she has disturbing dreams about being attacked and losing the baby. Her fear of an attack prompts Hugo "Hurley" Reyes to start making a census. Claire starts having contractions while Charlie moves her to the beach, telling Ethan Rom to get Jack. She tells him Malkin's story, and he suggests that he predicted the crash and this was his way of forcing her to raise the baby herself. As Sayid returns to camp warning of the Others and Hurley reports that there is one more person on the census than the flight manifest, Ethan approaches Claire and Charlie.
