"The Incident, Part 2"

"The Incident" is an orchestral piece on the Season 5 soundtrack. After Jack drops the Jughead core down the Swan shaft - to no effect - the electromagnetic Incident begins.

Scene descriptionEdit

Soon after Jack drops the bomb into the Swan site to no effect, metal objects start flying into the shaft. A falling crane crushes Pierre Chang's hand, and a toolbox knocks out Jack. Miles and Kate run to help them. Radzinsky tries to drive away in a DHARMA Jeep, but it overturns, and he barely escapes. In the chaos, Phil tries to kill Sawyer, but a flying rebar impales him.

Juliet is suddenly entangled by a metal chain and dragged into the mouth of the shaft. Sawyer and Kate desperately try to pull her out, but the force is too strong and she falls in.

InfluencesEdit

Jughead's theme and the main counterpoint makes up much of the piece's first half. Then comes an action motif that later blends with Juliet's theme. Juliet's theme then blends into the life and death theme.
