The "unsettling theme" appears in miscellaneous suspenseful scenes throughout the show. In its first appearance, it's accompanied by an eerie four-note string melody that shares similarities with that of the "Island theme" (#10) - a connection that's seemingly confirmed in “Exodus”, when the island theme is actually combined with this disquieting motif. The melody also bears a striking resemblance to Sayid's theme (introduced in "Solitary"), which Michael Giacchino decides to make good use of in the season 5 episode “He's Our You”.

Michael Giacchino considers himself a storyteller first and a musician second. On LOST, his soundtrack doesn't just suit the story of the show - it adds to it. By attaching certain scenes to established characters, locations, emotions and events through his music, Giacchino provides additional context and meaning to what's happening on screen. This way, understanding Giacchino's rich collection of themes and leitmotifs is another way to further appreciate the score, as well as the show in general.
