The executive producers of Lost have issued several teasers for this week's episode.
Speaking on the show's official podcast, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said that the instalment, titled 'The Package', will focus on the characters of Sun and Jin.
"It's interesting that we can intimate that we are back into the modality of the season and we will be in a character-centric episode and we're gonna learn a bit more about Sun and Jin.
"I would think that the package is gonna somehow relate to these guys. We know that Jin got something taken away from him at customs, and then somehow he's gonna end up in a freezer."
Lost continues Tuesdays at 9pm on ABC in the US and Fridays at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.

The executive producers of Lost have promised viewers that the series finale will provide some resolution.
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse told Wired that the show will attempt to explain how the two storylines fit together.
"The audience is saying, 'I hope they explain the relationship between these two stories' and that, to us, is the only answer we owe," Lindelof said. "Because at this point, the characters are not aware that there's any timeline other than the one they are in. But if they were to become aware of the parallel worlds, what might they do about it? That becomes a fundamental question."
The pair also suggested that the show will choose between science, represented by Jack (Matthew Fox) and faith, represented by Locke (Terry O'Quinn).
"The show can't have its cake and eat it too," Lindelof explained. "At the end of the day, if Locke and Jack were to sit down and say, 'Well, we were kind of both right', that would not be satisfying. It has to come down one way or another."
However, Cuse said: "There's still going to be plenty of room for debate when the show is over. We are going to take a stab at providing a conclusion, and one that we hope will be satisfying on a character level.
"The bigger questions, we realise, are not answerable. We feel that demystifying some of the things we do on Lost is like the magician showing you how the trick is done, and we don't want to do that."
He continued: "We don't know whether the resolution between the two timelines is going to make people say, 'Oh, that's cool' or, 'Oh, f**k those guys, they belly-flopped at the end'."
Meanwhile, Lindelof added: "This is our best version of the story of Lost, and it's the definitive one. The worst thing we could ever do is not end it, or go with some bulls**tty ending like a snowglobe or a cut to black. That was genius on The Sopranos but The Sopranos isn't a mystery show. For us, we owe our best version of a resolution here."
The finale of Lost will air on ABC on May 23.

Call sheets for the series finale of Lost have reportedly been leaked.
Gawker reports that the documents were left in a Honolulu restaurant, although it is unclear whether or not they are genuine.
The sheets reveal several possible spoilers, mentioning that Jack (Matthew Fox) is in "Hell" and that he gets a nosebleed.
The documents appear to suggest that a number of male characters including Jack, Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Ben (Michael Emerson), Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) are rope-climbing in caverns and waterfalls. No female stars are mentioned on the sheets.
Gawker called a telephone number listed on the sheet and was told that producers make fake call sheets to avoid spoilers being released.
Meanwhile, a representative for ABC has reportedly confirmed that the document is genuine and "the property of ABC".
She refused to reveal whether or not the call sheet was real or a decoy, but said that it "contains elements of truth".
The finale of Lost is scheduled to air on ABC on May 23.

Michael Emerson has claimed that Ben's storyline has already been "wrapped up" on Lost.
Speaking to the New York Post, the actor explained that he has enjoyed exploring a different side of the character in the flash-sideways.
"I know that he looks, talks and is a great deal like island-Ben, but the recipe is completely recalculated," he said. "He has many of the same qualities but they're in a different part of the spectrum of human traits. It was an exciting opportunity to create another character - like, what would Ben have been if he were more like us. Those qualities were fun to try and flesh out."
However, Emerson added that the show is "almost done" with Ben's flash-sideways story, saying: "Most of what we have with Ben from now on will be in the present island narrative. And in the coming weeks Ben ends up in a new and dangerous alliance that has a surprising outcome."
He continued: "You won't realise this until the series is done, but more than anyone else's flash-sideways, his [episode 'Dr Linus'] resolved Ben's character. You may not feel that way yet, but it brought us very close to wrapping up his arc. What I mean is, if you never saw Ben again in the series, you could look back after the finale and think, 'Oh, OK - I'm at peace with the way he wrapped up'."
Lost continues Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC in the US and Fridays at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.

Ian Somerhalder has admitted that some fans might be disappointed with the ending of Lost.
However, Somerhalder, who will reprise his role as Boone in the episode, revealed that he understood the show's finale when he read the script.
"You know, you're never going to make everyone happy," he told Zap2It. "Lost is so complicated... I think a lot of people will be relieved at the way it ends, I think people will be irate at the way it ends. You can't win.
"But [executive producers] Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have spent six years telling amazing, amazing stories on this show, so it's going to end the way that they want it to end, and they do love the fans."
Somerhalder also revealed that the finale "absolutely" made sense to him.
"What was really amazing was the interaction I had with some of the other actors on the show and how the characters' relationships ended up," he said. "Playing Boone in a different light was fun and really, really gratifying. I was really just grateful to be there and be a part of it.
"All of us were there and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had, you know, watching my friends put an end to six years of phenomenal storytelling and growth. It was really, really neat."
The series finale of Lost will air on May 23 at 9pm on ABC in the US and on May 28 at 9pm on Sky1 in the UK.

Fans of cult drama series 'Lost' are in for an early start next Monday as Sky1 has decided to broadcast the last ever episode of the show at five in the morning – the same time it goes out on US channel ABC on the American west coast.
The unexpected rescheduling of the two-and-a-half-hour finale called 'The End' comes in a bid to beat piracy and avoid illegal downloads of the show.
The episode, which was originally meant to be shown the following Friday at its regular 9pm slot, was moved to 5am on Monday to follow suit with other channels in Canada, Spain, Italy Portugal, Israel and Turkey, which are also set to simulcast the programme.
The eagerly-awaited episode will be repeated on Sky1 next Tuesday and Friday.
Sky1's director of programmes Stuart Murphy said: "We are proud of the fact that at Sky1 HD we have a long tradition of running all of our US shows as close as possible to their US transmission date. With something as hotly anticipated as the ‘Lost’ finale, it makes sense to show it at exactly the same time as millions across America will see it."

The last ever episode of Lost has aired in countries around the world.
In the conclusion to a special two-and-a-half hour series finale, it was revealed that the characters of the show had all died.
In the flashsideways storyline, the castaways all remembered their previous island lives, one by one, before gathering for their own mass funeral service.
On the island, Jack finally killed Locke, then appointed Hurley as his successor before saving the island from destruction. A group of survivors - including Sawyer, Kate and Claire - managed to escape on a plane.
In the final scene, Jack collapsed in the jungle, dying from a stab wound, while at the funeral service, the characters all smiled as the room filled with a bright light.
The closing shot was of Jack's eye closing in the jungle.
