Locke carving a large stick, Sayid takes him to Desmond

At Locke's camp, Locke is shaving down a large stick, which Sawyer questions him about. Locke says "I'm not sure what it's gonna be yet, James. When the time is right, it'll tell me." That's similar to the story Locke told Boone about Michaelangelo creating the statue David in the season 1 episode "Hearts and Minds."

Sawyer questions why they're just sitting around, doing nothing to get Jin back. Locke tells him that they're waiting for Jack, Hurley and Sun to show up, because they'll need all of them to be able to leave the island, just like when they came back to the island.

Sayid then returns to the camp and asks to speak to Locke alone. Sayid takes him into the jungle where he shows Locke that he has Desmond tied to a tree. Desmond still looks absolutely content and Locke looks surprised and pleasantly intrigued.
