"B-Missions" is a term for any mission that is for the good of the survivors, a mission where a major discovery on the island is made, or any mission undertaken by the "B-Team", a group of survivors often involved on missions with the so-called "A-Team" and their "A-Missions". The term can also be extended to describe less important or personal missions undertaken by "A-Team" members.

Contents

Definition

A "B-Mission" refers to a mission for the good of the survivors but usually of less importance than the "A-Missions" by the so-called survivors' Lost A-Team, a term used by fans because Charlie coined the term Lost A-Team ("Everybody Hates Hugo") to refer to the central group of active characters who often participate in missions for the good of all the survivors: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke and Sayid. Charlie himself felt that he did not qualify as part of this "A-Team." Therefore it can be said the less-central characters involved in such missions are members of the "B-Team", and their missions "B-Missions." Like A-Missions, the B-Missions are also used to drive the storyline, and are generally missions intended to help the welfare of the whole group of survivors.

However, many survivors have only undertaken one or two missions, notably Nikki and Paulo's early explorations of the island or Claire and Bernard who have only been in one, fairly important, mission each.

Generally, the B-Team consists of Charlie, Hurley and Desmond. Members that have also participated in a number of these missions are Jin and Michael. Below is a list of these and other characters who may nominally be considered to also be members:

Picture Name Status Role Overview
Jin Unknown Fisherman, sailor, shooter Jin started off as a self-imposed outcast to the rest of the group. In season one he didn't do any A-Missions or B-Missions until the building of the second raft. After this he became a bigger presence and in season three was promoted to the B-Team.


Hurley Off island No real skills Hurly has been on the most A-Team missions out of the B-Team and has had a fair amount of B-Team missions as well.
Desmond Off island Sailor, army training Has been with the survivors for the shortest time out of the B-Team, but he has done a lot. He was been on a few A-Missions and quite a lot of B-Missions. He basically took Michael's place when he left.
Charlie Dead No real skills Charlie has been on a lot of A-Team missions only second to Hurley. He has also been in a fair few B-Team missions, until he died getting rescue for the survivors.


Michael Dead Engineer, sailor In season one, Michael was a very active member of the B-Team and went on a lot of A-Missions. But in season two he became obsessed with finding his son and by the end of the season had left the island. His slot is now basically taken by Desmond.

Bernard seems to pay little notice to this, however, and continues to issue orders to the team, giving himself the easy role of carving the letters while everyone else drags heavy rocks to the shore. Bernard and Rose argue, but Bernard realizes he is out of line. As Jin positions the rocks on the beach, Bernard once more slips into his rude leadership style, telling Jin that his method is all wrong. After being heavily patronized, Jin leaves Bernard, who realizes that his entire team has now left him. Alone, Bernard defiantly continues with his sign. Rose arrives, and apologizes. Bernard asks what for, and Rose admits that she lied to him in Australia, and that Isaac never truly healed her. Rose explains that a person can feel when there is something inside them that doesn’t belong, and that after the crash, she stopped feeling her cancer. She believes that it is the Island that has healed her, and that she had to lie to stop Bernard trying to spend what little time they had left trying to constantly "do something". At last, Bernard finally relinquishes his stubbornness, guessing that if Rose left the Island the cancer might return.

Discoveries: None.
Relation to Lost storyline: Claire notices gulls flying in the air and announces that she has realized a possible way of getting off the Island. Claire explains that the gulls are migrating south, and that scientists have tagged them to see where they land in comparison to where they took off from. She devises a plan to capture a gull and tie a rescue note to its leg in hopes that a scientist will find and read it, and enlists Sun and Jin to help. She attempts to persuade Charlie as well, however, he remains uncharacteristically pessimistic, refusing to help. While Jin prepares a net, Claire and Sun chop up fish to use as bait. As they do so, Sun muses that this is precisely what her mother feared - her growing up to cut bait. Claire and Sun briefly discuss their parents' expectations for them before the net is completed and they begin the gull catching. Eventually a lone bird is attracted into the trap, but the group's attempts to capture a bird are thwarted when Desmond fires a hunting rifle, claiming to be boar hunting, and scares the bird away. Frustrated, Claire demands that Charlie tell her why he and Desmond do not want her to catch a bird. When Charlie refuses, Claire stammers that she does not want liars raising Aaron. Distraught, Claire decides to find out what is going on for herself. She surreptitiously follows Desmond to a rocky area off the coastline, where he effortlessly plucks a gull from a seaweed mound on the rocks. Claire confronts Desmond, saying that based on how easily he found the bird, which was hidden out of view, without searching, he must have known it would be there. After an initial denial, Desmond explains his visions of the future: he gestures to a rock and claims that it is the location where Charlie, attempting to get a bird for Claire, would have slipped and fallen into the ocean, then died in the treacherous currents under the rocky shoreline. Returning to camp, Claire is no longer angry with Charlie; she writes a rescue note and Charlie ties it to the gull's leg. The note informs the reader of the survivors' current circumstances, and encourages whoever finds it to never give up hope on finding them. Claire releases the bird while Charlie solemnly stands beside her as the bird flies away from the pair.

He feigns ignorance but she shows him the gum. She takes out one of Dr. Arzt's specimen jars, opens it, and flings a Medusa spider at Paulo. It lands on his neck and bites him. He kills it, and it remains stuck to his hand. She tells him that it's called the Medusa spider because it paralyzes the victim for around eight hours, and slows the heart. Paulo collapses and can't move. Nikki coolly begins to search him for the diamonds, at first guessing that they are hidden in his shoe. She takes off his shoe and throws it into a tree.

Nikki is bitten by one and she runs away. Nikki runs through the jungle, stops suddenly and digs a hole, burying something, then continues running.
