      After Desmond rescues Claire, she tells him that she goes swimming almost every day, but that today she was caught in an undertow, suggesting she was deliberately swimming before being taken out to sea. However, when Claire is rescued, she is fully clothed in normal day wear.
    • Quotes
      • Charlie Pace: So, you're telling me you saw a flash of Claire drowning this morning, so you knew how to save her?
      • Desmond Hume: I wasn't saving Claire, Charlie... I was saving you. This morning, you dove in after Claire. You tried to save her but you drowned.
      • Charlie Pace: What do you mean? I didn't drown.
      • Desmond Hume: When I saw the lightning hit the roof, you were electrocuted. And when Claire was in the water, you drowned trying to save her. I dove in myself so you never went in. I tried, brother. I've tried twice to save you, but the universe has a way of course correcting, and I can't stop it forever. I'm sorry. I'm sorry because no matter what I try to do... you're gonna die, Charlie.
