Why was Daniel crying?

[Turnip Queen]

When he saw the planted plane, why was he crying? Did he know someone on the plane? He hasn't said anything since he landed that would indicate why he was crying!

Hey TQ. How about this thought. It seemed that his wife (or someone) was caring for him. Almost like something had happened to him and he was recovering at home. How about him having a mental breakdown. His nerves were so shout, he could not handle seeing the news.

Just anothe LOST theory!

i am also thinking it could be because he was a tad spacy at that time. other than that, i have no ideas.

It's a strange one alright! I'm sure if he knew someone on the plane it'd be the first thing he'd ask!

Yah and Naomi did call him a headcase so maybe he has some kind of history of being like that?

[thelawgiver]

Right. The woman in the house could have been a day nurse or home assistant.

If I'm remembering the beginning of that episode, doesn't Dan whisper "I dont know" when his wife(?) asks him why he is crying? What could that have been about?

[Dzbabykel]

Yah that was super weird...maybe it was some kind of deja vu?? Hmm maybe Dan's been on the island before or something?? Whoooo knows....

[thelawgiver]

I still think he's recovering from a mental breakdown
