"Walkabout" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American drama television series Lost. The episode was directed by Jack Bender and written by David Fury. It first aired on ABC in the United States on October 13, 2004. The episode centers on the character of John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), who in flashbacks is revealed, in one of the first plot twists of the show, to be paralyzed from the waist down as he attempts to join a walkabout tour. On the present day events, Locke leads a hunting mission after the wild boar in the jungle as the food supplies of the Oceanic 815 survivors starts to shorten, while other survivors decide to burn the plane's fuselage. John Locke's backstory was conceived during the writing of the previous episode, "Tabula Rasa", and director Jack Bender decided to shoot the flashbacks in a way that enhanced the contrast between Locke's life before and after the crash. Problems involving the usage of real boar caused the producers to use computer generated replacements and shots that suggested the animals' presence. "Walkabout" was watched by 18.16 million people and was reviewed positively, later being considered one of the show's best episodes.

In the aftermath of the crash of Flight 815, John Locke awakens on the beach. He lies on the ground dazed for a few moments, wiggling his toes, before Jack calls him over to help him lift some wreckage off another survivor. Before the crash, Locke works a dull office job at a box company, where he is constantly belittled by his manager. He is planning on going on a walkabout in Australia, and has been training and studying for the trip for some time. He tells his plans to "Helen," a woman he is supposedly in a relationship with, on the phone. He invites her to come on the walkabout with him, but Helen is in fact a phone sex operator to whom he's grown attached. She breaks off the conversation. Later, in Australia, one of the walkabout guides refuses to let Locke join, saying that he is too big of an insurance liability and had not properly informed them of his "condition." Locke insists that he's lived with his "condition" for four years and that this is his "destiny," but the guide denies him, telling him to go home. It is then revealed that Locke is paralysed and cannot move his legs. Locke's first awakening on the Island is shown once more, revealing that when he woke up, he realized he could walk again.

In the night, boars raid the body filled fuselage of the wrecked plane, causing Jack to decide it should be burned. The next day, the survivors discover that their food supply has run out. Locke reveals his case of hunting knives and suggests that they hunt the boars. He sets out, accompanied by Michael and Kate. Kate is also seeking to set up a makeshift antenna in the jungle at the behest of Sayid, who hopes to use it to help triangulate the French transmission they picked up two days before. On the hunt, Michael is wounded by one of the boars. Kate helps him back to the beach while Locke presses on alone. Kate stops to climb a tree to place the antenna. However, before she can finish, she hears the sounds of the Monster, causing her to drop and break the equipment. The Monster heads for Locke, who stares at it in awe. Jack checks in on Rose Nadler, whose husband Bernard was in the tail section of the plane when it crashed. Rose asserts that he is alive, and that the people who were sitting in the tail likely also think that the people in the middle section are dead. Michael and Kate return to camp, and when she goes to tell Jack about Locke, Jack sees a man in a suit walk into the jungle. Jack chases after him and Kate follows, but instead of the mysterious figure, they find Locke, who's carrying a dead boar. That night, the fuselage is burned while Claire leads a memorial service for the dead using information she found in their passports, wallets, and luggage. Michael thanks Locke for hunting the boar and asks about the Monster, but Locke says that he did not see anything. Locke sees his wheelchair in the fire and smiles.
