Not to be too cute about it, but "Special" is truly special. It's a showcase for Michael actor Harold Perinneau, and a heartbreaking meditation on fatherhood and commitment.
Meanwhile, island antics are in full swing. Charlie gets to do a bit of endearing physical comedy; Sayid and Shannon grow closer; Michael starts to build the raft; Locke confuses a pen for a pencil; and Walt gets attacked by a scoop of blurry, white ice cream.
