Synopsis
Flashback
Inside the Opal Suite of Hotel Persephone, Savo's room. Elliott is hiding inside a small, dark room. Zoran Savo and Thomas Mittlewerk enter the room. You need to take a photo of Mittlewerk giving Savo a Hanso Foundation briefcase.
In the full flashback, Mittlewerk is revealed to be selling Savo Sarin gas. Savo is using this for ESP experiments. After the deal is completed, Savo orders Beady Eyes to bring Lisa in and has him shoot her. Elliott realizes that he has betrayed Lisa and the flashback ends.
Lisa doesn't betray Elliott and is executed by Savo. Elliott snaps a picture of Savo killing Lisa. Savo discovers him in the room and Elliott flees with the bodyguard in pursuit. Elliott realizes that he sacrificed Lisa for a photograph.
On the Island
Elliott wakes up in an empty aquatic tank in the underwater Hydra station, locked inside. Lisa suddenly appears in the room and says "don't let it happen again Elliott". Tom then appears on the other side of the glass. He promises to let Elliott go if he tells him what he remembers about Hanso and a girl named Lisa. In the conversation, Tom says that Juliet has given him a drug to help him remember, causing Elliott to have another flashback.
Elliott tells Tom what he saw in the flashback and Tom lets him out of the cell. You are now free to roam around the underwater areas of the Hydra station. Your mission is to get out. All your possessions have been confiscated and you have to locate as many fuses as you can. At one end of the station, there is an electrical panel. Solve the electical panel and a door will open to a room where Ben and Juliet are waiting to talk to you. In order to get all the fuses necessary, you need to raise the shark in the room with the pool, and remove the fuses from the device attached to it. Another computer psychology test must be completed for this to happen.
There is a large room with a computer in it. Access requires passing a test called "Psychology tes 4/42.

Test two: Complete the series: A - B - D - E - G - (?)

Test three: Complete the series: Z - X - C - V - (?)

There are four items on the computer. A news report from 24.9.2004, an audio archive, a control for the lift platform and a posted note. The news report covers the discovery of Lisa's body in Australia. The audio archive is a phone conversation between Zoran Savo and Thomas Mittlewerk recorded by Mikhail on September 23, 2004. The posted note is about fuses on the shark in the water tank.
Use the lift control to raise the shark out of the tank. Grab the fuses on the shark.
The panel has nine fuse sockets and four output meters.
A solution is:
- Top row - 3-way (nothing connected to right), 4-way, 4-way, 4-way
- Middle row - 3-way (nothing connected to right), 2-way (down and right), 2-way (up and left)
- Bottom row - 3-way (nothing connected down), 2-way (up and left)
Ben tells Elliott to lure Jack to the Black Rock where Tom will be waiting for them. He promises Elliott safe passage home in exchange. Ben reveals that the Others are resonsible for him finding the compass and have been manipulating him all along.
Elliott returns to the beach camp to talk to Jack. Jack promises to meet Elliott at the Black Rock after Elliott tells him there is something he needs to see (the game doesn't give much guidance, but go into the jungle and jump to the Black Rock).
Jack is at the entry to the hold of the ship. Jack gives Elliott a gun. Go up to the deck of the ship where Tom is waiting. Jack is trapped. Kate (who has been following them) has been captured and taken as a hostage. Tom gives Elliott his compass back, and tells him to leave.
Elliott has a change of heart based on the flashback. Stand directly in front of Kate, and fire at the stick of dynamite. Elliott is knocked unconscious in the blast, but everyone survives. Kate and Jack, unable to carry Elliott back to camp due to their wounds, drag him to safety in a field.
Elliott is woken up by Juliet on top of a cliff near the shore of the Island. Juliet says that Ben has ordered the Others to kill him and that the boat will be destroyed in two minutes. She gives Elliott to follow a compass bearing of 325 on the boat to get off the island. Juliet says she was wrong about Elliott and gives him back his camera.
Elliott runs for the boat. This is an obstacle course with jumping and sliding. There is a stop point when the ocean comes into view, where a boat controlled by an other is seen approaching Elliott's boat, ready to destroy it. After the stop point there is a narrow tree connecting two cliffs that has to be crossed an a few obstacles fall into the path such as branches and rocks that need to be avoided. During this whole chase, the Others are firing upon Elliott from their hidden positions in the trees.
If you don't reach the boat in time, the Other in the boat will throw a Molotov cocktail at the boat destroying it.
If you reach the end of the dock in time, Locke is there to greet Elliott. The name of the sailboat is Via Domus. Sailing away, Elliott hears the sound associated with the day the Swan imploded. Elliott looks up in th sky to see the plane crash happening again and wakes up on the beach but Lisa is now alive and a passenger. She calls out Elliott's name and the game ends.
Trivia
- The title of this episode, "Worth a Thousand Words", most likely refers to the famous saying, 'A picture is worth a thousand words'. This refers to Elliott's picture of Lisa that he has to reveal to the public and get the story of her death out.
- The Opal Suite in Hotel Persephone is a possible reference to Opal, a DHARMA Initiative nurse. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")
