Let me first address Charlie, since the episode isn't based around him - his hesitation with reading Claire's diary was adorable (as was reading that she has feelings for him).
Also - YAY CLAIRE IS BACK!!!!!
Walt. Scares. Me. I'm expecting some "Poltergeist" shit to happen with him.
But finally we see why Walt and Michael have such a strained relationship. Walt was taken away before he could have a relationship with his son, and was only returned when he wasn't wanted. How does any parent react to that? We've seen Michael be so stressed with him in all the episodes, so to see him as a loving father when Walt was a baby was refreshing. Michael's constant anger was getting...frustrating. It was touching to finally see them relating to one another and accepting their new roles as family.
Another polar bear!?!
With Michael, we also get a reminder that, oh hey, everyone is stuck on an island God knows where. This is really the first mention we've had in awhile about actually leaving the island - everyone else seems to have accepted that they aren't leaving (myself included). I'd forgotten that there's a real world out there, and right now Michael is the only one who remembers.
