List of episodes

"Recon" is the eighth television episode of the American Broadcasting Company's sixth season of the serial drama television series Lost and 111th episode overall.[2] The episode is written by executive producer Elizabeth Sarnoff and newcomer Jim Galasso and directed by Jack Bender. James "Sawyer" Ford is the character the episode is centered on.

In 2007, The Man in Black (Terry O'Quinn) tasks James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) to recon the Ajira Airways Flight 316 plane and passengers. Meanwhile, Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) faces an insane Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin). In a "flash-sideways", Detective James Ford's past issues conflict with his present life.

The episode received mostly positive reviews, despite it being the lowest-watched episode of the season, with 8.87 million viewers.
