"D.O.C." is the exact opposite of the episode which came right before it, "Catch-22", in that while that episode was always going to be good simply due to the stories it was telling and the generally professional writing one expects from "Lost", it didn't go beyond expectations and do anything especially interesting, but "D.O.C." has little to work with but ends up being a fine episode in many respects, around as good as "Catch-22". The episode is essentially an extension of the soap-opera 'who's the father?' story with Sun's baby, the story relating to pregnancies on the island, and yet again explores some of the social attitudes in Korea and deals with Sun's father and his powerful nature yet again. Also, the woman who parachuted onto the island in "Catch-22", Naomi, is treated for her injuries. Once again proving themselves to be the perfect writers to handle the more soap-opera-like stories on the show (as opposed to Elizabeth Sarnoff or Christina M. Kim, who have written some truly puke-worthy sappy nonsense), Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz deliver a script that exceeds expectations and make most of the episode very interesting.
