The trailer for season 4 was released last month by ABC and it looks set to hand us yet more mystery and little in the way of answers.

Realizing that the monsoon season will soon be upon them, Michael and Jin scramble to complete the raft in hopes of shoving off sooner rather than later. But dark clouds roll in after someone’s deadly move to secure themselves a seat on the boat casts suspicion on several survivors. Including Freckles herself. Though it looks as if she may be too busy recalling the tragic history of her toy plane to be bothered with such treachery.
