Lost: There’s No Place Like Home (Pt. 2) Recap

Posted in Lost on May 30, 2008 by awsumdave

Finally, after a week of no Lost, we get a two-hour season finale. What an episode! We start off right away with a flash-forward. The flash-forward was the same one from last season’s finale. You know where Jack has his mountain-man beard, ranting on about getting back to the island? Yeah that. Kate drove off, but turned around and had a fight with Jack. The person in the coffin last season was……

JEREMY BENTHAM! Wait a second….who?

Back in the jungle, Jack and Sawyer show up at the “Orchid Station” They meet up with Hurley. John is also there, watering plants, or something.

That’s right, my pretties, grow!

On the freighter, Michael, Jin and Desmond are looking at the butt-load of C4. They need to find a way to take care of it fast, or else the whole place goes BOOM!

At the helicopter, Keamy shows up with Ben as a hostage, and is ready to leave. Kate then shows up running from the forest. She then continues to say that Ben’s men are chasing her. Keamy’s men go out into the jungle to secure the area, but a big gun fight ensues, and Kate rescues Ben. When Keamy sees Kate leaving with Ben, he chases after them, and sure enough, Sayid pounces out of the shadows, and attacks Keamy.

They have a big fight, and just as Keamy was about to kill Sayid, Richard shot Keamy in the back. So the whole thing was an agreement. Ben’s rescue, for the freedom of Kate and Sayid. Fair enough, says Ben.

There was another flash forward. This time we see Hurley, still in his mental state. Who comes to visit him? Walt. Walt said none of the Oceanic 6 came to visit him, but Jeremy Bentham did.

On the island, we learn that, yes, Hurley is still eating those 15 year old crackers, and even offers some to Sawyer, who also eats some. Come on guys, that’s gross! Jack is talking to Locke, who told Jack that he wants him to stay on the island, not to leave. Jack’s like, are you dumb? Out of the midst of the jungle, Ben showed up, and tells Jack to get everyone together, and leave as soon as possible. John and Ben then go underground, into the “Orchid Station.”

On the freighter, Michael comes up with a brilliant idea, as a floating light bulb switched on over his head. He thinks that a good way to buy some time is to freeze the C4. Although, they don’t have much C4, so once that is gone, they are dead.

Daniel arrived back on the island, and was getting ready for another batch of people to save. Before he went a second time, he pulled his buddies, Miles and Charlotte aside, and told them that they need to make sure they are on the next ride out. Miles just shrugs and said he was staying. Charlotte says she’s going, to which Miles gets confused as to why, since Charlotte apparently was really desperate to get BACK! That is added to my never-ending list of things I need to know about Lost.

Once down in the new hatch called “The Orchid,” John keeps asking questions like a 10 year old girl, so Ben shoves a video in John’s face and says, “Watch it.”

The video was an orientation for the station. It told about space and time, and not to put metal into the main room. Which, Ben was currently doing. Locke asks Ben if this was what he thought it was, to which Ben replies, “If you mean time traveling Bunnies, then yes.” Suddenly, someone started coming down the hatch as well…who is it? Guess we’ll find out later.

So the rest of the Oceanic 6 and Sawyer team up at the helicopter and leave. This was strange. Why was Sawyer going? He isn’t one of the Oceanic 6.

Keamy was the one that was coming down to “The Orchid.” Strange, I thought he was dead, but apparently he had a tough bullet-proof jacket. He was pretty angry, and wanted to kill Ben. John stepped out and said, “Hey, lets be friends.” Just about when Keamy was going to give John a big friendly hug, Ben jumped out of his hiding spot, and went all ninja on Keamy, saying, “You killed my daughter!”

Johns freaking out, because the device on Keamy’s arm is a heart rate monitor, and if he dies, the people on the freighter all go boom! John says “You just killed everyone on that boat.” Ben replies very childish-like, “So?”

Charlotte flip-flopped her decision, and now she wants to stay on the island. Juliet also wants to stay. She said something about promising everyone else safety. You know what I am confused about? I distinctively remember Juliet wanting very much to get off the Island. Now she’s like, whenever is cool with me.

On the helicopter, the pilot noticed that they are steadily decreasing fuel, and they need to do something, fast. The team starts throwing everything off the helicopter that wasn’t bolted to the ground, but it wasn’t enough. The captain said he’d feel a whole lot better if an extra couple hundred pounds were left. So Sawyer whispers a little secret into Kate’s ear, and bolted.

That looks painful

In the next flash-forward, we see Sayid at Hurley’s mental hospital. He kills a security guard, and breaks into Hurley’s room. He tells Hurley that he needs to come with him right away. To which we see Hurley was playing chess with a invisible ghost of Mr. Echo.

In the Orchid station, John was trying to keep Keamy’s heartbeat up, so no one had to die, but he was too late. Keamy flat lined. The red light on the freighter went off, and Desmond runs up to try to warn the helicopter not to land, because the whole place was going to explode. But the pilot had no choice they were losing fuel. They land, and fuel the copter up a little bit before lift off again. In the copter flying away now, is the Oceanic 6, and Desmond. The last seconds of this scene, Christian shows up to Michael, and says you can go now. Then, kaboom, freighter explodes, telling us that Michael and Jin are now dead. Sun goes berserk.

In the next flash forward, we see an update with Sun. You know, I usually don’t like Sun & Jin’s storyline’s when it came to the flash-backs and what not. But this year, its actually pretty interesting. She meets up Widmore, and said they have a common interest, and wants to discuss with him further when he is ready. She also said that the Oceanic 6 weren’t the only ones to get off the island.

In the Orchid station, Ben finally finishes stacking metal object in the tiny compartment, and set it off. The room explodes. Sawyer swims back ashore, where he meets Juliet. You know what is funny about this scene, Sawyer isn’t even remotely tired, he was like, “Just felt like a dip!” Juliet was sitting there, pulling a Paula Abdul, and boozing it up. Sawyer wonders what she was celebrating, she said she wasn’t. Sawyer figured it out, she was looking out to the ocean, where smoke was arising. It was their boat.

In the Orchid Station, Ben was putting on the parka we saw him where previously on a Lost episode. He said he was going somewhere cold. Locke wondered where his nifty coat was, but Ben just said he wasn’t tagging along this time. This is where we learn that John Locke is the new leader of the Others. Locke=Ben… Weird.

The explosion in the station, revealed a small hole, to which Ben crawled through. In the hole, he dropped down to a sure enough, cold location. There were some strange symbols written on a wall. On the other side of the room, there was a giant wheel, to which Ben started to move.

I guess he is moving the Island then, right? Out of no where, a really loud and strange sound was heard by everyone, followed by a blinding light. Then boom! The island was gone, it disappeared.

Then David Copperfield popped up on the screen and said TA DA. Not really, but that would have been awesome.

To me, it almost looked like the Island sank, which leaves me with my newest theory. The Island is Atlantis!

On their way back to the Island, they witnessed the island disappear. The pilot freaks out, and runs out of fuel. So the helicopter crashes into the ocean. But its okay, they had an inflatable raft, and all gathered inside. But now they are screwed. They have no where to go!

In another flash-forward, Kate wakes up to a strange call. Another one of those backward talking people. She hangs the phone up, and goes to Aaron’s room. Inside, Claire is there! She warned Kate not to bring Aaron back to the Island. Alas, it was only a dream. Kate woke up, and no one was really there.

It’s night now, and the team still in the inflatable raft see a boat coming up. Jack tells them all that they have to lie, because their problem in the first place was a bunch of crazy men coming to the island to kill them, so they had to lie, to save the others. And in the boat was….PENNY! Finally, Desmond and Penny embrace.

Just like what you see in the movies

So now, a week later, the Oceanic 6 traveled to another island, and made it look like this was their rescue, and they have been lost for months. Desmond, however stays with Penny.

Finally, here we go. The last scene of the movie is the flashback where we learn who was in the coffin. Jack had to break into the funeral parlor, since it was closed. Ben then shows up. Jack tells Ben that (Jeremy) told Jack that after he left, terrible things happened at the island, and its all his fault. He also said that he had to go back. Ben said he was aware of how many attempts Jack had trying to get back, and was unsuccessful, then he said, that is because all of you have to go back, including him. Then the camera pans to see that “Jeremy Bentham” was…….JOHN LOCKE!

R.I.P. Mr. Clean

Awww. I liked John, that’s too bad. I can’t wait till next season!
Jack goes to funeral parlor at night. Breaks in. Ben shows up. Said bad things happened after he left, blamed him for it, and that he has to get back. They need everyone to go back, including him. John Locke is dead guy.

Lost: There’s No Place Like Home (Pt. 1)- Recap

Posted in Lost on May 16, 2008 by awsumdave

Here we go. The Lost three hour finale, part 1! This show is moving so fast, and each episode has so much in it, so I guess I’ll get started!

The episode started with a flash-forward. This episode’s flash-forward did not belong to anyone specific. It was a flash-forward for every member of the Oceanic 6. The first thing we see is the cockpit of a plane. The pilot said they would be landing soon, so a member of Oceanic walked to the back of the plane, where the passengers were the Oceanic 6. This is the moment they all arrive back home. When they land, they were met by their families. Everyone they met we’ve seen before. Sun was met by her family. Jack had his mom. Hurley had his parents. Kate however, had no one.

That’s what you get for killing people, Kate!

On the beach, the losties are trying to figure out why a GPS was dropped overhead from the helicopter last episode. Jack gives the GPS/Phone to Daniel to call the others. They don’t pick up, necessarily, but they overhear the freighters talking about heading down to the “Orchid” station, and that freaks Daniel out a little bit. Jack decides he is going to stop the freighter people.

So! Jack and Kate are on an adventure! They have their handy dandy GPS with them, and then they hear something coming.

Kate and Jack dramatically bust out their guns that apparently never run out of ammo on the show, and pointed it to whoever was coming. Who came out? Miles and Sawyer, holding Aaron. Kate wondered where Claire was, and Sawyer said she was gone. They looked for her for a day, and all they found was Vincent’s dog poop. This angers Jack more, and goes after the people alone. Sawyer tossed the baby to Kate, and said, “I’m coming too!”

That’s right.  I can be a father figure. So screw you!

In the next flash-forward, we see Jack, Kate, Sun, Hurley, and Sayid at a conference table talking to reporters. Apparently, they were feeding the press fake info. Some reporters didn’t look convinced, but that’s their problem. Sayid then had a long-awaited reunion with his girlfriend Nadia!

Is that a fat joke?

Sayid then arrived on the island. He told everyone they had to take this boat to the freighter, or else everyone would die.

So Locke, Ben, and Hurley are on their way to the Orchid station because they had to move the island. On top of a hill, Ben found a secret stash of items. He threw Hurley some crackers, which he reluctantly ate. Later on we realize the crackers are 15 years old.

Ew, dude.

Ben shoves a mirror at the sky and starts communicating with someone, not sure who though. I think its Jacob.

So Daniel Faraday is leading everyone to safety. A bunch of people go on the first trip to the freighter. The only Oceanic 6 members, however, were Sun and Aaron. Jin was on the boat too, which makes me wonder what’s going to happen to everyone? Jin doesn’t get off, so what happens to him. Once they get on the freighter, they see Michael just standing there.

Flash-forward:
We learn that Sun bought out a part of her fathers company, making her the boss of him. Funny. She was mad because apparently, it is partly her fathers fault for her husbands death.

We also learn more about Hurley’s return. He is still eating at Mr. Clucks. Upon arriving at his house, it looks like he is starting to go crazy as he hears island whispers.

He opens a door and oh ok. Its just a birthday party, had me thinking. Anyways, when Hurley was gone, his dad fixed up the car they had been working on in a previous episode. Hurley was so happy, but freaked out once the speedometer read those numbers we haven’t seen in a while, the same ones that have been haunting Hurley for years,

4,8,15,16,23,42.

“THE NUMBERS ARE BAD!”

So Locke and the guys arrive at the Orchid station. The only problem is, the freighter guys already beat them to it.

Flash-forward:
Jack is now attending his dad’s funeral. I didn’t really understand the relevance to this scene, but it made sense later as Claire’s mom walks up to Jack, and told him his sister was Claire. Wow that must have been a surprising moment for him!

On the freighter, Michael is trying to explain himself to Sun and Jin. Desmond started yelling for Michael to help him out. It seems Desmond found a butt load of C4.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, Richard showed himself and the rest of the others to Kate and Sayid. That was really cool. Maybe that, is who Ben was communicating with earlier.

Back at the Orchid station, Ben and the guys are still in the bushes spying on the evil-doers. Ben is laying out a complex plan for Locke to go to the actual Orchid station. Lockes like, what about the armed terrorists? Ben said he would take care of that. John asked how, and Ben looked at him with a look that said, “Dude, I’m a frickin’ ninja.” Fair enough. So Ben showed himself to the terrorists, to which Keamy came out, and knocked Ben out.

In the forest, Richard and the others are leading Kate and Sayid someplace. Weird. End part 1.

Wow. Good episode. So many questions, so little answers. Can’t wait till the two-hour season finale in week after next! Peace out!

Don’t miss the rest of the finale…

Lost: Cabin Fever – Recap

Posted in Lost on May 9, 2008 by awsumdave

Wow, another explosive episode of Lost. Lots of things happened tonight, on this Locke-centered episode, so let’s just get started!

The episode started with a flashback. The first thing you see is this teenage girl named Emily dancing to a record player. She apparently is getting ready for a date with a boy who is twice her age. So off she goes, when Bam! She is hit by a car. In the hospital she told the doctors she was 6 months pregnant. So right away, they prep her for an emergency birth operation. She gives birth to three-month premature baby, John Locke! I would have never guessed ol’ knife happy man was premature!

On the island, Locke, Ben, and Hurley are still searching for the cabin. John decides they need to rest for the night. They do.

On the freighter, Keamy returns, and wants to know who gave Ben the information on him. He then figured it out, Michael. He interrogates Michael, to which he confessed. Keamy decided to shoot Michael, but don’t you know, foolish man, Michael has super powers, and can’t die! So his gun doesn’t fire.

When Locke woke up from his dream, he met a Dharma Initiative worker chopping down trees. He told Locke that the key to finding Jacob was finding him first. His name was Horace, and he’s been dead for 12 years….creepy.

Flashback:
Back to John as a baby. His mom freaks out and can’t go through with it. Thats when Richard, the never aging man showed up. Ahhhh Richard, creepy! I wonder what he wants….

So Team Locke are back on the hunt for the cabin, but he said he had to make a pit stop. A pit stop to the Dharma Pit. Remember? The same pit Ben shot Locke in last season, with all the nasty corpses? Yeah, exactly.

Flashback:
John is now a child, and Richard shows up again! His cover is that he runs a special school for very special kids. Could this school possibly be the island? He was there to see if John qualified for the school. So he placed a bunch of items in front of John and asked him which one belonged to him. John picked up the knife. Thats when Richard freaked out and left his house saying he wasn’t quite ready yet. Another point to mention about this scene, John drew what looked like the smoke monster…creepy.

On the island, John was digging through some dead people. Then he found Horace’s dead nasty body. Inside his pocket, he found a blueprint to the cabin, which also, I guess, was a map. So off they went again, trying to find that cabin.

On the freighter, Keamy is planning to go back to the island, and apparently, torch it. Captain doesn’t like this plan at all, and plans with Sayid, to save all the losties.

Flashback:
Now we see that teenager Locke is a pushover, and getting pushed into a locker. So beat up Locke was sent to the nurses office, where the man-nurse said “You’re a pathetic loser and can’t do squat,” basically. To which Locke just said his famous line, “Don’t ever tell me what I can’t do!”

On the freighter, the captain was telling Sayid and Desmond to go back to the island. Desmond says he spent too much years on that island, that he’s never going back. So Sayid, all lonesome, goes by himself back to the island.

Back to Locke’s storyline. They are still trying to find the cabin. Ben’s complaining how he used to be the chosen one, now he isn’t. Then Hurley found the cabin. They just stand, and stare in awe.

You go first. No man, you do it!

Flashback:
Older Locke is now doing physical therapy, trying to walk, but can’t. So his elderly is chatting it up with him. The elderly is that black guy from the future that contacts Hurley…creepy. He wants Locke to do a walkabout. Locke’s like, “Dude, I can’t walk, you moron!”

On the freighter, the helicopter pilot is telling Keamy he won’t fly the helicopter. Keamy responds by killing the doctor. (Same doctor that washed ashore.) and killing the captain, to which Mr. Pilot gladly said he’ll fly.

On the beach, Jack is walking around. Juliet gets mad at him, for not resting. Then the helicopter flies overhead and drops a GPS.

Back to Locke. Amazingly, they are still staring on awe at the cabin.

I told you I’m not going! Someone has to go!

Ben and Hurley chicken out, leaving John alone, as he walked into the cabin.

Inside he met, not Jacob, but…..Christian Shephard, Jacks dad! Creepy. Where’s Claire, you kidnapper! Oh…there she is, acting all creepy like. What the heck? Anyways John asks what he has to do to save the island.

Meanwhile outside, Hurley and Ben share a candy bar. John comes out and tells everyone what they must do to save the island. You have to move it. Say what?! Move the island? I don’t care who you as. I don’t care if you are Chuck Norris, you can’t move a freakin’ island, okay? What do you expect to do? Have everyone paddle the island away?

Jacob

This show is just too weird. I’ll catch you later, peace out!

Lost – Something Nice Back Home Recap

Posted in Lost on May 2, 2008 by awsumdave

Tonight on Lost, as usual we have lots of things in store. So let’s get started with this Jack-centric episode.

We start out with Juliet attempting to wake up a sleeping Jack. She succeeds, and Jack wakes up to a heated fight between Daniel Faraday, and Bernard. Bernard wants answers to what happened on the freighter, and why they are really on the island.

“You can’t handle the truth!”

Jack being the hero he always is, breaks up the fight. Then grabbing his stomach, Jack fell to the ground fainting. Must be his stomach bug!

“Jack, you probably shouldn’t have eaten those week-old enchiladas!”

Flash forward to sometime in the future. Jack awakes in a modern day house, does everyday things, then goes to the bathroom to where we see Kate taking a shower. Then later, we see Jack reading Aaron a bedtime story.

“‘Twas the night before Christmas”

It must be after the Kate flash-forward scene we’ve seen in a previous episode, where Jack didn’t want anything to do with the kid.

Back on the beach, Team Sawyer are heading back to the beach. Ghostbuster man, Miles starts hearing voices of….dun dun dun! Danielle and Carl. Its their graveyard. So I guess we are confirmed with their death then, right?

Safe to say no Danielle Flashbacks?

Back on the beach, Juliet is concerned.

She gets Jack to lift his shirt, and she found out that Jacks got a bad appendix. Juliet wants to fix Jack for a change. So Juliet goes out to Sun, and tells her to go to the medical hatch, sun doesn’t know what to look for, so Faraday volunteers to go with. Since Sun does not trust the freighters, Juliet gives Jin a gun just in case anything goes wrong.

Back to Team Sawyer. Sawyer basically just tells Miles to stay away from Claire.

On the beach, we see Juliet is giving Jack a little stomach shave, getting ready for surgery. So Jack tells her he wants to talk her through the operation. Basically, he doesn’t trust her.

Then we have a nice flash forward scene. Jack is at the hospital working, when he sees, uh oh, his Dad walking past. Kind of creepy if you ask me. So Jack wavers that off and goes to meet with his old pal, Hurley.

I’m Crazy!

Man in these flash-forward scenes this season, we are getting more and more character interaction with other main characters. It’s technically called a Jack-Centric episode, but it could easily be a Hurley, or Kate-centered episode as well.

Hurley tells Jack about his encounters with old Oceanic Survivor, Charlie. Hurley went on to say that Charlie left a message for Jack, that said “You aren’t the one that is suppose to raise him, Jack” Meaning Aaron. Also, the note said that someone will be visiting Jack as well, and soon. Ooh, could it be his Dad? We’ll see.

On the island, Jin, Sun, and the freighter gang got to the medical hatch. Jin said something about, “Do you think she knows he likes her?” and Sun said something like “She’s a girl, she knows.”

Over on another part of the island, Sawyer and the rest of his team, are still headed towards the beach. When the pilot of the helicopter showed up.

He then told them to hide, which they did. Then, Mr. Crazy Freighter Captain stepped out. They were looking for the copter. Aaron cried a little, and crazy captain heard it! Good thing the helicopter pilot told them they had to hurry before sundown.

Flash forward, to Jack after that strange encounter with Hurley, arrives home. He wakes up Kate, and proposes to her. YES she says. Aww.

On the beach, Jin confronts Charlotte, and says he knows she speaks Korean. She tries to say she doesn’t understand him, but Jin knows, and says he’ll hurt Daniel if she doesn’t get him and Sun off the island.

So Juliet is now performing the surgery. Its kind of sick, but I’ve seen worse. And against his orders, Jack was knocked out, for the best.

Back to the future. Jack is doing an autopsy when he hears the fire alarm go wacky. Jack takes out the battery and saw his Dad sitting on a couch in front of him.

“Hey kiddo!”

Oooh, what does he have to say, I wonder? I guess nothing, cause a second later he dissapeared when a co-worker of Jacks walked in. Jack is starting to freak out now, and asks for a prescription to a drug. Could this possibly be the start of the addiction? We’ll see. He arrives home to Kate making a strange call.

On the island, Claire woke up in the middle of the night to Jack’s dad, and her own, rocking Aaron. Dad? she asks.

So now the surgery is done on the island. When Kate entered the tent, Juliet pronounces that Jack kissed her. Lol. Kate gets all mad. But after Kate left, Juliet turned to Jack, still unconscious, and said, “I know you’re awake.” Which he was. Weird.

Back to yet another flash-forward. Jack and Kate fight. He is drunk, and paranoid, and wonders where Kate was today. She said she was doing something for Sawyer. Wow that’s strange. Jack said Sawyer made a choice to stay on the island.

So here we are, at the end of the episode. What happened? Sawyer woke up to Claire and the baby missing. Miles said they left in the middle of the night. Sawyer asked why didn’t he stop her. Miles said it was because he was told to stay away from Claire. So Sawyer runs out to the forest to find Claire. He found Aaron abandoned in the woods. But where did Claire go? Is that why she isn’t one of the Oceanic 6? We’ll see soon, I hope. Peace Out!

LOST – The Shape of Things to Come – Recap 4.24.08

Posted in Lost on April 25, 2008 by awsumdave

Lost is back, and better than ever! Tonight the season came back with a bang, with four characters killed off! Well only one was important, the others were just filler. Let’s get started on what went down!

First off we see Jack taking some medication, for what he described to be a “stomach bug” I was wondering if this could possibly be the start of a drug addiction, but due to the scenes for next week, that’s probably not the case. Suddenly we hear Bernard start shouting for help, so of course, hero Jack must see what the matter is. Washing ashore is a nasty dead body. One of the freighter people, which I’ve already forgotten his name, confirms that it was the doctor on his boat. What happened to him? I don’t know, we’ll have to find out next week possibly.

“We’re all gonna die” we see Hurley say. Turns out he’s just playing a game with Sawyer and Locke. Too bad, they made it all look dark and suspensful in the trailer. Perhaps a foreshadow?

We then cut to Alex being dragged through the forest to turn off the alarm for the crazy siren gates that kill you once you pass through. Alex puts in the code to turn off the gates. Who is the group that has her hostage, we’re about to find out. Right after this scene, Ben’s house phone rings. Once John picked it up, a female computer voice said “Code 14-J. When Mr. Clean (Locke) confronts Ben about it.

Ben freaks out and busts out the guns, and gets ready for a gun battle. “They’re coming!”

After the title, and commercials passed, we learned it was a Ben-centric episode, or more a Sayid and Ben-centric episode, as we’ll see later. In Ben’s flash-forward, we see him wake up in the middle of the Sahara Desert. In the desert he was wearing a heavy Dharma coat. You gotta think, that he must be very hot at that moment! A few moments later, two Arabian riders came along, pointing guns at him. Somehow Ben pulls a manouver, and kills them both, stealing one of their camels ad well. Does anyones else wonder how a guy that looks so puny take out so many people? I don’t care, its amazing!

Back on the island, just as the big showdown is about to happen, Sawyer finds it his duty to save Claire, who is sleeping in a house a couple blocks away. Sawyer goes on his rescue mission. Just then gun fires started shooting everywhere, Sawyer ducked for cover, where three unnecessry extras got shot, one by one, like a dominoe effect.

Sawyer then ran for Claire’s house when it exploded.

Thankfully, Claire was safe.

More of Ben’s flash-forward came back now. This time, we learn that it is October 21, 2005. On the TV, we see Sayid saying he just wants to bury his wife in peace. We later learn that his wife, is in fact, Nadia from previous Sayid-centric episodes.

Back on the island, Hurley breaks a window to help Sawyer to safety. After a few minutes of talking, the doorbell rings. Its Miles, the ghostbuster. He’s there to give Ben a walky talky to talk to the men attacking, who have his daughter.

Another flash forward shows Sayid taking pictures of a bald guy, and then Sayid. Sayid sees him, and attacks Ben as he is leaving the building. Ben explains he is trying to find Nadia’s killer, who was hired by Widmore. He shares some information with Sayid, which makes him noticeably angry with revenge.

Back on the island, Ben talks on the walky with the captain from the freighter. The captain then pulled Alex out from the woods and pointed a gun at Alex’s head and tells Ben to come out. Ben then tells him to get off the island and forget about its existence. The captain began counting down from ten or he’d kill Alex. Ben told her he had this under control, and not to worry, but too late, the captain shot her! Ben’s plan didn’t pan out too well. After a few minutes of shock, Ben opened a secret compartment and hid inside. Only for the viewer to be stuck with another flash-forward.

This time, we see Ben, once again trailing this bald guy, who, as it seems, killed Nadia. Ben then lost him, and he pointed a gun at Ben, and asked why he was following him. Before Ben really had time to answer him, the bald guy was shot by Sayid. Sayid understood that this was bigger than just that one guy, and voluntarily joined Ben to be his personal hit man. If you ask me, this scene was a little too much like Anikan turning to the dark side in Star Wars.

Back to the island! Ben comes back out of the compartment, and tells everyone to run on his command. When the all get out of the house, the smoke monster is taking care of the intruders. It looks like Ben told the monster what to do! That’s just plain crazy, folks! Then they ran out into the woods. But not before Ben says goodbye to his daughter.

On the beach, the losties are sending a mores code message asking what happened to the dead doctor. A few moments later there was a reply. The guy from the freighter said they didn’t say much about the doctor, but the helicopter will be coming back the next morning. Bernard stepped up and said it really said “What are you talking about? The doctors fine.” that’s when Jack asked if they were ever going to rescue them. They said no. Jack got ticked.

Back in the forest Johns group is headed off to see Jacob. Sawyer thinks that’s dumb or something, so he decided to split up and take Hurley with him. Locke then pulled a gun on Sawyer, he said he needs Hurley to guide him to the cabin. Sawyer pulls a gun on John. Hurley breaks them up by saying he’ll go with Locke.

The end scene was Ben heading up to a penthouse suite in London, where he met up with Charles Widmore sleeping. Widmore asks if he came to kill him. Ben said no, he was there for revenge. Widmore killed his daughter, now he was off to kill Widmore’s daughter, who as you may know, is Desmond’s girlfriend, Penny! What’s going to happen next? I don’t know I guess we’ll just have to wait won’t we?
