Marshals investigating the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, incarcerated for drowning her three children. Teddy and Chuck find Solando has resurfaced with no explanation, prompting the former to break into the restricted Ward C. Teddy encounters George Noyce, a patient in solitary confinement, who claims that the doctors are experimenting on patients, some of whom are taken to the lighthouse to be lobotomized. Teddy regroups with Chuck and climbs the cliffs toward the lighthouse.
They become separated, and Teddy later sees what he believes to be Chuck’s body on the rocks below. By the time he climbs down, the body has disappeared, but he finds a cave where he discovers a woman in hiding. She states that she is a former psychiatrist at the hospital who discovered the experiments with psychotropic medication and trans-orbital lobotomy in an attempt to develop mind control techniques. In one instance, she tells Teddy that Solando is still on the island—as is Laeddis, who everyone claims was never there. Teddy later explains to Chuck that locating LaeddIs was his ulterior motive for taking the case. According to the recurring dreams, Daniels and Rachel are anagrams of AndrewLaeddis and Dolores Chanal, the father and daughter of Rachel. The staff were part of the hospital’s conspiracy to test Teddy’s insanity. When questioned, he tells the truth in a satisfying manner, as his migraines were withdrawal symptoms from his medication, as well as his hallucinations of the real Rachel. When he tells them the truth, Andrew faints, overwhelmed, and awakens, and tells Teddy the truth of the past. The two men arrive just before a massive storm, preventing their return to the mainland for a few days. Teddy returns to the hospital to find no evidence of Chuck ever being there.
