My god. So much takes
place in this episode, it's
making my head hurt.
Desmond is back! He
was the one on the boat. He
tried to leave, couldn't.
His sailboat somehow
wouldn't sail north, instead brought
him back to the Isle.
Desmond flashback time!
Des was in jail for a bit.
Military, too.
A man named Charles
Widmore tells Des some bad news:
his daughter's engaged.
Widmore's daughter is
Desmond's true love. Penny is
her name. Des is sad.
To win Penny's love,
and the respect of her dad,
Des will race round globe.
Yeah, it's a little
convoluted. Lost sometimes
gets that way, ya know?
Anyway. Desmond
wants to race around the world,
but he's got no boat.
Fortunately, he
meets Libby (!!) who's recently
widowed. She gives him...
...her dead husband's boat.
Well, that's exceptionally
kind-hearted of her!
Just before starting
the race, Penny finds Desmond.
He tells her, "One year."
"One year from now I'll
be back, your dad will respect
me, things will be great!"
Of course, it doesn't
work that way. During the race
Desmond's boat crashes.
Kelvin, who is dressed
in a biohazard suit
finds, rescues Desmond.
We see Desmond and
Kelvin entering the code,
working on the map.
Kelvin made lots of
trips outside the Swan, always
while wearing the suit.
On the day the plane
crashed, Des followed Kelvin out
to where his boat was.
Des asks Kelvin, "You
were going to leave me here?
What of the button?"
Kelvin says, "Screw the
button! We don't even know
if it's real or not."
Des isn't happy
about this. He and Kelvin
fight. Des knocks him out.
He may have killed him,
but we don't know. Des has to
run back to the Swan.
The alarm's blaring,
metal is flying, the comp.
says, "System Failure"
And yes, 815
apparently was destroyed
by the Swan's magnets.
Des enters the code
and things go back to normal.
We're now up-to-date.
Sayid, Jin and Sun
sail in the boat to surprise
attack the Others.
Along the way, they
see a large four-toed statue.
(What's in the shadow?)
The Others capture
Hurley, Jack, Kate and Sawyer,
take them to a dock.
Henry shows up and
appears to be the leader
of the Others. Huh.
He tells Michael he's
free to get on their boat with
Walt, and not come back.
He instructs him to
follow a particular
bearing to escape.
Suddenly there's a
very loud, very weird sound
and..a purple sky.
Purple freaking sky!!
How'd that happen? Well, Locke
let timer run out.
Desmond (and Eko)
tried to convince Locke not to,
but were unable.
Des turned a fail safe
key at the last possible
sec, and... purple sky.
Also, the Swan seems
to have exploded, maybe
killing Des and Locke.
The Others untie
Hurley, so he can tell the
Losties: "Stay away"
As Michael boards the
boat to leave, he asks Henry,
"Who are you people?"
"We're the good guys," is
Henry's response. Damn. I'd hate
to see the villains.
In some snow covered
part of the world, two guys with
computer systems...
...pick up some signal
about the Island. They call
Penny. "We found it!"
We get confirmed what
we'd already guessed - Michael
has been compromised.
The Others took him
hostage, told him if he wants
to see Walt, help them.
They promise hm they'll
let them both go if Michael
rescues Henry and...
...brings 4 people back
to them. The four they want are:
James, Jack, Kate, Hurley.
While at the double
funeral, a boat shows up.
Let's hope it's rescue!
Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer
all enter the Swan and find
the mess Michael made.
Michael blames Henry,
who, of course, has already
left the premises.
Ana is dead. But
Libby hasn't died quite yet.
Jack tries to save her.
He has Sawyer get
the heroin, but it's no
use. Libby soon dies.
Her final word was
"Michael". Jack assures her that
Michael is okay.
Eko has dreams with
Ana and Yemi telling
him to find the mark.
The question mark, that
is. And they say to bring John.
Eko obeys them.
Locke and Eko find
the question mark - it's where the
drug plane's wreckage is.
Moving the plane, they
discover another hatch.
Man, they're everywhere!!
Inside this one is
a bunch of old monitors.
On one screen - it's Jack!
Locke and Eko watch
the Orientation film.
It tells them these things:
They're in the Pearl Hatch.
The job of the Pearl is to
observe the Swan Hatch.
The Swan folks won't know
they're being observed. Reports
of their behavior...
...are to be sent in
a pneumatic tube. After
the video ends...
...Locke is even more
convinced that the button is
meaningless. Eko...
...on the other hand,
is absolutely certain
the button's vital.
Ana-Lucia
knew (sorta) Jack's dad! They went
to Oz together.
Christian got wasted,
yelled at Claire's mom that he has
the right to see her...
...since she's his daughter.
(Jack and Claire are related
and don't know it. Weird.)
Ana is attacked
by Henry. He calls her a
killer, says she's bad.
Locke saves her, and asks
why he didn't attack him
when he had the chance.
Henry tells Locke it's
because Locke is a good guy
he was coming for.
Ana asks Sawyer
for a gun, but of course he
denies her request.
Later, she distracts
him by redirecting the
blood flow from his brain.
Hurley and Libby
are going on a picnic,
forgot the blanket.
Libby says she'll get
the blanket if Hurley gets
the wine. They're so cute.
Michael tells the group
that the Others are weak and
they can be taken.
Jack, Kate and Locke go
to ask Sawyer for the guns
while Ana confronts...
...Henry. She can't bring
herself to pull the trigger.
Michael says he will.
Ana gives him her
gun. He says, "I'm sorry," then
Michael shoots Ana. (!!)
Then Libby shows up
and blam!, Michael shoots her, too. (!!!!)
Next, he sees Henry...
...but Michael doesn't
shoot the prisoner, but his
own shoulder instead (!!!!!!)
I think the only
phrase that can sum this up is:
Holy Fucking Shit.
Bernard thinks making
a giant S.O.S. sign
on the beach will...
...get them rescued. It's
possible. However, his
people skills are poor.
So all his helpers
leave him to do it alone.
By episode's end...
...he's trying to do
a ten person job solo.
He gives it up once...
...Rose tells him that she
was cured of her cancer by
being Island-bound.
Locke has begun to
doubt whether the button does
anything. Instead...
...he is focused on
recreating the blast door
map from memory.
Mostly he recalls
the middle with the giant
question mark on it.
Jack and Kate venture
out to where the Others had
taken Kate hostage.
The plan is to trade
fake Henry for Walt. Henry
says that will not work.
After getting caught
in a net, Jack yells and yells.
No Others show up.
But then there's Michael!
He collapses, 'cuz that's what
returning folks do.
The obvious joke
is "Dave's not here, man." (Ha ha!
Hurley's dad is Cheech!!)
Another thing that
may not be real - the button.
"Henry Gale" tells Locke...
...that he did not push
the button, all that happened
was a scary hum...
...and then the timer
reset. He calls the Swan a
"joke". Locke looks upset.
The end has one of
Lost's most infuriating
unsolved mysteries.
It shows Libby in
the same institution
as Hurley. What the ???
Jack and John aren't pleased
with Henry's "joke" about the
map he made last ep.
Jack tells John to put
him back in the armory.
Henry: "He your boss?"
But Locke seems to have
wised up to Henry's tactics
as he locks him up.
Sayid, Ana, and
Charlie find a grave plus a
wrecked hot air balloon.
Looks like Henry has
been telling the truth from the
beginning. Poor guy.
A muffled warning
on the loud speakers tells Locke
"lockdown imminent"
The blast doors slam shut.
Locke barely gets a crowbar
under the last one.
He can't lift the doors
alone, and the button is
gonna need pushing.
So Locke asks Henry
if he'll help. Henry agrees -
on one condition.
He wants protection
from "Locke's people", since they are
looking for scapegoats.
Locke agrees and lets
Henry out. Together they
get the door lifted...
...and slide a toolbox
underneat to prop it up.
Locke slides under and...
...the door comes down on
Locke's leg. (Ouch!) Henry puts some
weights under the door.
John tells Henry he
needs to crawl through the vents and
enter the code. Now.
Henry crawls through the
vent. While he's doing that, the
lights go out. Black lights...
...kick on, and a map
of all the Dharma stations
is revealed to Locke.
The lights return and
the door goes up. Locke calls for
Henry. He's still there.
On the way back to
the Swan, Jack and Kate find an
enormous food drop.
As they ponder this,
Sayid et al emerge from
the jungle. Back at...
...the Swan, Locke wonders
what Henry did to restore
the lights, lift the door.
Henry says he just
entered the code, nothing more.
A pissed off Sayid...
...enters, pointing his
gun at Henry. Jack pushes
him against the wall.
Henry's all, "didn't
you find my balloon?" Sayid
says, "Yeah. And a grave...
...But I dug it up.
And guess what. The real Henry
Gale was a black man."
Sayid shows "Henry"
the driver's license he took
from dead guy's wallet.
The lesson here is
Fake Henry is not good at
identity theft.
The other lesson
is Sayid is a bad ass
motherfucker, yo.
In flashbacks, Jin and
Sun were trying to conceive.
Jin has low sperm count.
But the Island, it
seems, fixes paralysis
and fertility.
Because Sun? Knocked up.
She tells Jin. He's ecstatic.
Jin's such a good guy.
Locke tells Ana 'bout
Henry, asks her to talk to
him, see what she thinks.
She does so, asks him
to draw her a map to his
hot air balloon site.
Ana, Sayid, and
Charlie follow the map to
a dense jungle field.
Back at the Swan, Jack
and John give Henry a bowl
full of cereal.
As he eats, he tells
them about the map (neither
man knew about it.)
He then says, "if I
was an Other, I'd draw a
map that was a trap...
...so Ana could be
taken and held hostage for
my release. So it's...
...a good thing I'm not
an Other, isn't it? ...You
guys got any milk?"
When Aaron gets sick,
Claire decides she needs to get
back her memories.
The best way to do
that? Go into the jungle
with Kate and Rousseau.
They find a Dharma
medical bunker, but it's
been cleared out. Although...
...Kate finds a fake beard
and Claire gets her memory
back: Ethan drugged her.
Ethan drugged her lots.
The Others kept her doped up.
But, a teenage girl...
...(Danielle's child, perhaps?)
helps Claire escape before they
perform C-section.
When they get back to
camp, Aaron's sickness has passed.
Turnip-Head's okay!
Meanwhile, Eko talks
with Henry Gale, tells him how
he killed two Others.
Says he's sorry, asks
for forgiveness. Henry looks
terrified of him.
At the end, Henry
insinuates to Locke that
Jack is the leader.
Locke says decisions
are made together, then has
a fit, breaks dishes.
Henry smiles, since his
seeds of dissension and doubt
have been well planted.
Overall great ep.
This was a turning point in
the show, I believe.
Danielle shows up in
the jungle, looking for Sayid.
She has caught a man.
One of her net traps
is holding a guy who says
he's named Henry Gale.
Danielle tells Sayid
he's "one of them". Henry says,
"What's she talkin' 'bout?"
Sayid wants to talk
with Henry and cuts him down.
He begins to run.
So Rousseau shoots him
with an arrow, right through his
shoulder, knocks him out.
She predicts (rightly):
"Know this. He will lie. For a
long time, he will lie."
Sayid takes Henry
to the Swan. Tells Jack and John.
Jack removes arrow.
Locke and Sayid's plan
is for Sayid to torture
the truth out of Gale.
Henry insists he
and his wife crash landed four
months ago while they...
...were travelling in
a hot air balloon. His wife
got sick and then died.
Jack's worried Henry
might be telling the truth. Says
Locke, "What if he's not?"
Sayid does torture
the man, but he doesn't change
his cover story.
However, Sayid
is convinced Henry is one
of them. Tells Charlie.
When Sun gets attacked,
the Others are blamed, causing
Jack, Jin, and Ana...
...to want to get guns.
Locke thinks that's a bad idea,
so he hides them all.
But Sawyer finds them
(with help from Charlie), declares
himself "New Sheriff".
Charlie and Sawyer
worked together to pull this
off. James wanted guns.
Charlie just wanted
Locke to look like a fool. Both
got what they wanted.
Charlie says no one
can ever find out about
what he did to Sun.
Sawyer agrees to
this, but Sawyer is not a
good person, he says.
We see his flashback
where he pulled a long con on
Cassidy Phillips.
She was jus ta mark,
at first, then he fell in love
with her. Still conned her.
This was a really
crappy episode. Charlie
starts having weird dreams.
And sleepwalking. He
becomes convinced Turnip-Head
needs to be baptized.
Locke finds Charlie's stash.
Charlie swears he's not using,
but Locke takes it all.
And then he hides it
inside the gun armory,
and changes the lock.
At night, Charlie sets
a fire as a distraction
while he steals Aaron.
He's found out, of course.
Locke takes Aaron back, hands him
back to his mother.
And then Locke punches
Charlie in the face. Three times!
Unnecessary!
Michael knocks out Locke,
and at gunpoint, forces Jack
into the gun vault.
He then takes off, to
go track down Walt. Sawyer
and Kate open the...
...door to let Jack and
John out of their prison. Jack
is gonna track Mike.
Sawyer tags along.
Kate tries to as well, but Jack
sends her back. "Stay, Kate."
Of course, Kate doesn't.
She tells Hurley 'bout Michael.
Then she takes off, too.
In the woods, the men
get shot at, then find themselves
surrounded. Others!!
The Others tell Jack
to drop their weapons and go
home. Jack refuses.
But when the Others
show they've captured Kate, Jack sighs
and gives up his gun.
The foursome return
to the beach. Jack tells Ana,
"Let's build an army."
Eko was at one
time a vicious, murdering
heroin smuggler.
His brother, Yemi,
is a priest. Eko wants him
to forge papers that...
...say Eko and his
partners are priests so they can
safely smuggle drugs.
As the drug plane is
being loaded, the Army
shows up to stop them.
Yemi gets shot and
the plane leaves Eko behind,
dressed in his priest garb.
Eko has Charlie
take him to where the drug plane
crashed. But on the way...
...the Monster stops by.
It and Eko stare at each
other. Eko wins.
Together, Eko
and Charlie burn the plane, but
Charlie has a stash.
What Kate Did: Murder
her abusive step father,
then went on the run.
On the Island, Kate
kissed Jack, then ran away and
saw a horse she knew.
What Eko did: watched
the Orientation film,
along with Michael.
Eko gives Locke a
strip of film he found while at
the Dharma bunker.
He then tells Locke, "Don't
mistake coincidence for
fate." Good advice, dude.
The extended film
just warns of the dangers of
using the comp for...
...anything other
than entering the numbers.
So, nothing new there.
(Which makes me wonder
why it was removed and put
way across the Isle.)
Anyway. Here's what
Michael did: pointed out the
blast doors in the Swan.
Then did a little
chatting on the computer.
With Walt. O. M. G.
In Ana's flashback
we learn she was a police
officer. Also...
...she was shot by a
criminal, whom she later
tracked down and murdered.
Now, Ana fights with
Sayid.She somehow disarms
him. (She's good at that.)
She orders Sayid to
be tied up. Michael asks if
she is crazy. Heh.
She makes a deal with
Michael - get her some supplies
from their camp, she'll leave.
Michael is all, "Sure!"
(Michael often agrees to
do things he shouldn't.)
Eko carries James
all the way to Jack, who puts
Sawyer in the Swan.
When Michael shows up,
tells Jack what's going on, Jack
wants to get revenge.
Eko says "Ana
made a mistake." And Jack's all,
"Ana?? My Ana??"
Ana lets Sayid
go, and gives him his gun back.
He doesn't shoot her.
Lots of reunions,
which means music montage time!
Vincent greets Michael...
...Rose gives Bernard a
hug and kiss, and of course Jin
and Sun reunite.
In the jungle, Jack
and Ana-Lucia stare
at one another.
We see the Tailies
version of the plane crash. Their
season one is short!
Eko rescues a boy.
Ana gives CPR to
his sister, Emma.
The boy - Zach is his
name - is holding a teddy
bear. Like what Jin saw.
That first night, Others
show up, kidnap 3 Tailies.
Two Others get killed...
...By Mr. Eko.
Dude is not someone you want
to mess with, for sure.
Eko spends the next
40 days saying nothing,
carrying big stick.
Others return on
night 12, taking 9 more (this
includes the children).
Ana kills one, finds
they had a list of their names.
Others are creepy.
We see the group find
the Dharma bunker and a
radio. Boone's voice!
Paranoia sets
in and Ana suspects
one of them's a spy.
Turns out, she's right. But
she picks the wrong guy at first.
Goodwin's the Other.
Once she figures it
out, he attacks her. She kills
him in self-defense.
This ep ends like the
last one: Ana shoots Shannon,
Sayid looks real pissed.
Sayid and Shannon
have sex. In a horror film
Shannon would die now.
She doesn't die. (Yet.)
But she does have a vision:
Walt -- talking backwards.
She screams. When Sayid
asks what's wrong, she tells him, but
no one can see Walt.
Ana and her crew
are making their way across
the Island. Sawyer...
...still wounded from the
bullet, collapses. Ana
says, "Leave him. Let's go."
(When Ana gets to
the Wizard, she's gonna ask
for a heart, I bet.)
To the credit of
her fellow survivors, they
have some compassion.
They opt to make James
a stretcher and carry him.
Cindy disappears.
They hear the whispers.
Ana draws her gun... and shoots.
Shannon gets gutshot.
She collapses in
Sayid's arms. Sayid looks pissed.
Really, really pissed.
Ana decides that
all the Tailies and their new
"guests" should make their way...
...across the Island, back
to where the 815ers
are living. They leave.
We learn the large black
guy's name is Mr. Eko.
He gives James a knife.
The knife is more a
machete, actually.
Eko's pretty cool.
Libby and Michael
are in the jungle. Libby
mentions the Others.
And that's all Michael
needs to hear. He takes off so
he can rescue Walt.
Jin wants to go find
Michael. Eko opts to help.
Ana says, "See ya!"
(Ana is not the
most likeable character.
Her people skills suck.)
While Jin and Eko
hunt for Michael, Jin finds the
body of Goodwin.
He's been impaled by
a large pointy stick. Jin asks,
"Others?" Eko nods.
Speaking of Others,
they walk by Jin and Eko
who hide in bushes.
We only see their
feet and legs (which are dirty)
and... a teddy bear.
At the end, Jin finds
Michael and convinces him
to return with them.
Hurley shows Rose the
inside of the Swan. They are
put in charge of food.
But Hurley knows that
being in charge of that means
having to deny...
...some people certain
things they want, and he doesn't
want to disappoint.
So at the end, while
a music montage plays (YAY!)
Hurley hands out food.
To everyone. It's
heartwarming and awesome.
(And, yes, I teared up.)
On the other side
of the Island, our rafties
have talked with Ana.
It turns out that she
is NOT with the Others, but
that her group were all...
...in the tail section
of the plane. She leads them back
to a weird bunker.
That appears to have
Dharma logos on it. But
no computers here.
There are just a few
survivors living here, but
Libby (one of them)...
...tells Sawyer that there
used to be twenty-three of
them. Doesn't bode well.
One of the "Tailies"
is, in fact, an older white
guy named Bernard. Yay!
