"The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"

I must start off by saying that I have never really been a fan of Locke, he's way too Narcisistic and he always thinks that he's right without any regard of other people's opinions. He is not a very nice old man to put it in short and so this post will not be as in-depth as my other posts about the show have been. Locke's life doesn't really appeal to me (he's really kind of a whiny quitter) so here is my summary of the episode about his rather short trip back to the 'real world:'



So Locke wakes up in the desert in Tunisia (the exact same place where Ben woke up after he turned the wheel) with a broken leg (open tib-fib) and therefore can do nothing but yell for help at a camera on a post. He lies there all day until a truck comes and the passengers of said vehicle throw him in the bed of the truck and take him to a makeshift tent hospital thing where they reset his fractured leg while he is conscious (obviously has wasn't conscious very long after they reset his leg). He wakes up to Widmore by his bedside and the two chat about their past encounter as well as the Island, Ben, and other dandy topics. We find out that Ben is the reason that Widmore is no longer on the Island (he took over as leader of The Others and exiled Widmore to the real world). The next day Widmore gives Locke his new identity (Jeremy Bentham), a word of warning against Ben, a driver (that fella who took care of Locke right after he broke his back, the same fella that told him to go to Australia for the walkabout which resulted in Locke being on flight 815), and a promise the Locke will not be murdered by anyone (Locke told him that Alpert said he was going to die so Widmore says that he's not going to let that happen). Locke and his driver (whose name escapes me so I shall call him 'Mo') first go to Santo Domingo to try to convince Sayid to come back to the Island => fail #1. Then they go to NY to visit Walt (who tells Locke that he has been having dreams about Locke being back on the Island wearing a suit, surrounded by people who want to kill him) who Locke doesn't even ask to come back to the Island => fail #2. Then they travel to Snata Rosa to visit Hurley who upon first seeing Locke believes that he is hallicinating and that Locke is dead, upon confirmation thathe is actually talking to a guy in a wheelchair, hearing Locke's proposition and seein 'Mo' (who had lied to and somewhat harrassed Hurley in the previous season) freaks out and tells Locke to get L o s t (haha...yeah, no) => Fail #3. Then Locke goes to L.A. and visits Kate (seriously after their last encounter, him banishing her from New Otherton, why did he even bother) who among other things tells him that he hasn't come very far and that she will not go back to the Island (well duh) => epic fail #4. Then Locke goes to visit the grave of his old girlfriend Helen (earlier in the episode 'Mo' asked Locke if he wanted him to look up anyone for him to which John eventually answered that he wanted him to look up Helen). As the two are leaving the graveyard 'Mo' is shot and killed so the maimed Locke frantically drives the car away and gets in an accident which lands him in Jack's hospital. Jack accuses John of basically being a narcisistic average Joe then loudly refuses to go back to the Island and tells John to leave him and the rest of them (Oceanic 6) alone => Epic fail #5. Then the depressed Locke checks into a hotel, writes Jack his suicide note, and is about to hang himself when Ben bursts through the door and talks John down (by telling him that he is ultra special and has lots of work to do). Then after John reveals the person (Eloise Hawking) who can get everyone back to the Island Ben garrotes John with the same exact electrical cord that John was about to kill himself with =>EPIC FAIL #6. Then cleans the scene to make it look like suicide and steals Jin's wedding ring.

On the Island:

The beginning of the episode reveals Caesar (the fellow who gave Jack his condolences at the airport) is seen rifling through stuff in a Dharma station (later revealed as the Hydra) when Ilana (the lady who had Sayid in custody) comes in and asks him if he found anything, he lies and says no (he found some papers including what appears to be some sort of map) and when she presses the matter he shows her a flashlight claiming that it is the only thing that he found. She tells him that they found a man i a suit on the beach. The two walk back to the beach past a fully intact crashed Ajira flight 316 plane. The man they found on the beach is none other than John Locke. The next day Locke is on the beach looking out across the ocean (in this shot it is revealed that he and the other survivors are on the smaller Alcatraz island b/c you can see the big island across the ocean) when Ilana comes up to him and offers him a mango then questions him about his existance on the plane. He tells her that he remembers dying and then asks for the flight manifest (somewhere in here we see the long boats that have been seen in previous time-flashing episodes with the survivors on the beach and learn that the pilot and a woman (Sun perhaps) stole one of the boats and went to the main island earlier taking the flight manifest with them). She tells him to talk to Caesar who is at the Hydra station. So he does, revealing that this is his second time being on the Island. Then he asks if everyone (except for the people who disappeared as Caesar mentions seeing Hurley disappear) have been accounted for. He answers that they have except for the people who got hurt. He then shows Locke a room full of injured/unconscious survivors where Locke discovers Ben and reveals him as his murderer...L O S T...


Yes, I am most extraordinarily overexcited for next week's episode as it appears that I might win a bet I have going with a friend about who Kate will end up with (my bet would be Sawyer because Jack has turned into a bit of jerk) at least for the time being as I can't truly win until the end of season 6.

"316"

That was insane and I think (after watching the promo for next week) that we as viewers are going to have to wait two weeks before we actually know what's going on with the people on the island which is rather obnoxious, but I suppose twill be interesting to find out what sort of wonko things happened with Locke after he turned the wheel. I am really happy after watching the episode last night that Kate and Jack are not back together (the promos ade it look like they were going to get back together, but as it turns out it was just a moment of weakness on Kate's part that Jack took advantage of) so hooray for that.

My problem with Jack (this is going to be a very long post in case you were wondering):

I really liked Jack in the beginning (season one and part of season two), he seemed like a nice enough fellow and he had a sense of humor. Then when he found out that Sawyer was also in love with Kate he became WAY too over protective of her and ended up driving her away (not letting her go with them after Michael then getting angry when she tracked them and came anyway but ended up getting caught and almost killed). Then he was once again flustered when she didn't confide in him everything that she knew (i.e. finding costumes in the medical station), you know what, I'll just do an entire post on this later as it has very little to actually do with the episode. It's a big ranting point for me.

Plot:

So right away we know that at least three of the Oceanic 6 made it back to the island (stupid children, why would you ever go back you just got away) because the episode opens with Jakc waking up in the jungle (just as he did in the pilot episode) with a piece of paper in his hand that says I wish...(without the dot dot dot, it's ripped off so we can only see the I wish part). Hurley is then heard yelling for Jack because he is in grave need of assisstance. Jack follows the noise and ends up at the waterfall/pond thing featured in episode 12 (where Kate and Sawyer find the Halliburton case) where it appears that Hurley is drowning managing only to stay afloat by hanging onto a guitar case (possibly Charlie's guitar case?). Jack heroically dives in from the top of the waterfall only to discover that he and Hurley can both stand in the area of the pond where Hurley was 'drowning.' Then we see Kate looking quite dead on a rock on the edge of the pond thing. Jack rushes over to her to discover that there isn't a scratch on her, she's breathing perfectly and is therefore just unconscious. He wakes her up and it is confirmed that they are indeed back on the Island, (thank you grasp of the incredibly obvious) and that none of them has any memory of a crash...dun...Dun...DUN!!!



People at Church (Desmond, Sun, Ben, Jack, Faraday's deranged mother whose name is Eloise):

• Eloise takes her visiters downstairs (in the Church, if you don't remember what happened in the previous episode please see last post for a synopsis) to a Dharma Station known as the Lamp-post which is revealed (by Eloise) as to be the station where the location of the island was first discovered.


• Eloise also mentions that the Island is constantly on the move, not on ly through space, but through time as well which is the reason that the survivors of flight 815 were never rescued. She talks about the brilliant fellow who first discovered this, how he discovered it (pendulum swings over electromagnetic energy similar to that on the island...very complicated+not a physisist=not going to explain it in depth), and how he wrote a bunch of equations that can predict with relative accuracy where the island is going to be at any point in time.


• At this point in time Desmond becomes fluastered at the fact that the people in the room (namely Jack and Sun) are willingly going back to the Island.


• When asked why he is there he says that he is there to deliver a message from Daniel that his mother and ONLY his mother is supposed to help/save the Island not any of the Oceanic Six and what not.


• Eloise replys that she is helping and that the Island is 'done with Desmond yet.'


• Desmond then goes on to warn Jack that theses people (the Others, Ben, Locke, etc.) are using him (and the others) in some sadistic game and that he should get out while he still can/ignore anything that Eloise tells him. He also mentions that Eloise cost him 4 years of his life by telling him that his sole purpose in life was to go to the Island.


• He then yells that the Island may not be done with him, but he is done with the Island.


• Exit Desmond with the slam of a door.


• Eloise continues on to say that she believes she has found a window of opportunity for the group to return, an Ajira Airlines (yeah, I totally saw that coming) flight to Guam that is apparently going to fly directly over where the island will be at that point in time.


• She then informs the bunch that in order to increase their chances of getting back to the island they need to as best they can recreate the circumstances of the first flight.


• When Jack asks what would happen if they couldn't get everyone on the flight Eloise responds that the results would be unprediactable.


• Jack then stupidly ask if 'that's it' to which Eloise responds that that is not it, at least not for Jack.


• She takes Jack to her office where she gives him Locke's suicide note (now we know how/why he died and I cannot say that this was a huge surprise to me) and tells him that Locke's body will be a proxy for Christian's body (Jack's dad) and that in order for this to work Jack must give something of Christian's to Locke.

Jack (since the entire episode followed Jack this is going to be a very long section):

• Jack exits the office to find Ben alone in the Sanctuary, who tells him that Sun has left the building.


• Jack then asks about Locke's body to which Ben replies that he has friend watching it and will pick it up before he heads to the airport the following day.


• Ben then asks Jack what Eloise said to him.


• Jack responds by asking how Eloise knows what she knows and shy she is helping them.


• Ben responds by telling the story of Thomas the Apostle (Doubting Tom, if you don't know this story it can be found in the Bible or online).


• Ben then goes to leave and when Jack asks him where he's going he says something along the lines of that he is fulfilling a promise he made to an old friend (big red flag, Ben doesn't have any real friends, he has subordinates, people who either follow him because they admire him, have no other choice, or are scared of him...HE MEANS THAT HE IS GOING TO KILL PENNY WIDMORE...oh crap).


• Jack is next seen at a bar drinking some sort of alcohol (the Island will be good for him, after all as far as we know all of the beer is gone) when his phone rings and he answers it with a "He did what?"


• Next we see of Jack he is at a nursing home where an important looking man is telling him that this is the 4th time 'he's' left and that 'he' has got to follow the rules or 'he' will be moved to a different facility.


• Jack then goes up to a resident named Ray and the two go back to Ray's room where we find out that Ray is Jack's Grandad who packed a suitcase and tried to escape the nursing home and go somewhere on a bus.


• While Jack is unpacking the suitcase he finds a pair of his father's shoes which he takes with him back to his appartment.


• When Jack gets back to his appartment he immediately heads for the booze which he is about to drink when he hears footsteps somewhere in the appartment.


• He goes to investigate (which reminded me of a bad horror movie: he progresses through his dark house alone, with nothing to defend himself, and no lights on) and finds Kate lying on his bed looking utterly defeated (no Aaron).


• He gently asks her why she is there. To which she resonds with the question: "Are you still going back to the Island?"


• He answers affirmatively and she tells him that she is going with him.


• Then Jack starts asking questions (i.e. what happened, where's Aaron? I wonder how she got in) to which Kate answers that if he wants her to go with him he will never ask her about Aaron again.


• He agrees and she (in a moment of weakness which he takes advantage of) kisses him and . . .(Mamma Mia reference again).


• The next morning Jack makes Kate coffee and the two chat for a bit about Jack's father's shoes (Kate spots them and thinking they are Jack's suggest that he should consider hiking boots instead which leads into a whole schpeel about what shoes Jack put on his father's feet for the funeral...touching moment...etc.) and are interrupted when the phone rings.


• Kate tells Jack that she will see him at the airport and then leaves so he can answer the phone.


• The caller is Ben (who we see on the other end of the line looking beat up and muddy at the marina possibly meaning that he definately did go after Penny but ran into a few problems) who tells Jack that he has gotten sidetracked and needs Jack to pick up Locke's body at the butchershop where he left it.


• Jack agrees and is next seen at said carnicería where he meets Ben's lady 'friend' (Jill) who agreed to take care of Locke's body in the one of the premiere episodes this season.


• She take him to the body and after asking a question about a bag that Jack is holding and receiving no answer tells Jack that she has been instructed to lend him the van and leaves to pull it around.


• Jack proceeds to put his father's shoes on Locke's feet (my question is why did he even bother tying them?) telling Locke that the whole situation is 'even crazier than Locke was,' then he gives the un-opened suicide note back to Locke.


• Then we see Jack at the airport answering questions about why he's traveling to Guam with ''Bentham's'' body, meanwhile he spots Kate (who looks kind of like Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider) walking throught the airport.


• A man in the line behind Jack gives him his condolences for losing his friend (so this guy will most likely be an important character this season).


• Jack is then approached by Sun who (when he is surprised to see her) tells him that if there is any chance that Jin is still alive she is going back.


• Sayid is seen being escorted by a marshall (I assume she was a marshall) to the plane (interesante).


• We then see Hurley with a guitar case waiting for the plane with a bunch of other people when a lady comes over the P.A. saying that there are plenty of empty seats for flight 316 still open. Hurley jumps up and tells the lady that those seats are not open, that they are his, he bought all t 78 seats. They argue but Hurley refuses to back down, so the lady has no choice but to admit that the flight is full.


• Jack approaches Hurley, happy that they are on the same flight yadda, yadda, yadda.


• Next scene Jack boards the plane walking past Sayid and the marshall pasing slightly at Kate's seat before taking his own.


• Just before the flight attendants are about to close the doors Ben (with an arm in a sling, still looking rather rough) enters the plane with a ticket which causes Hurley to freak out.


• Overdominearing Jack gets control of the situation and everyone is 'calm' when he is approached by a flight attendant (who looks like Cindy from the first flight) who says that they found something of his (Locke's suicide note) in his cargo.


• Jack takes his seat and the flight commences (with the same music as was playing when Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid, and Frank were in the helicopter leaving the Island).


• When the fasten seat belt sign is turned off he goes to sit next to Kate and goes into some cheesy bit about how amazing it is that they are all on the same plane (which is responded to with sarcasm on Kate's part).


• He then makes some retort along the lines of 'it's almost lke we're all back together again' to which Kate remarks "We're on the same plane, that doesn't make us back together." (Hooray there is still hope for Sawyer, just so long as he hasn't fallen for Juliet, but knowing what she did to him when he was a prisoner I kind've doubt that's happened.)


• The pilot then comes over the P.A. introducing himself as Frank Lapidus (gasp).


• Jack asks the Cindy-looking flight attendant if he can speak to Frank being as they are old friends, she agrees to ask if he will take his seat (he can't be up while the cockpit is open).


• Frank comes out to talk with Jack and is surprised to see Sayid, Hurley, Kate and Sun also on the plane: "We're not going to Guam are we?" is his remark.


• Later in the trip Jack and Ben are sitting next to each other and Ben asks Jack about the note, blah, blah, blah, Ben convinces Jack to read the note and gets up to 'give him some privacy' (go crash the plane).


• The note says: I wish you had believed [in] me - JL.


• Then they hit turbulance and the noise/purple light we viewers know as meaning a flash is happening on the island occurs and POOF Jack wakes up on the Island.

The episode ends with a Dharma bus driving up to the lake thing and a man getting out and pointing a gun at the 3 in the water (in case you forgot who those three are since it has indeed been a long time since the beginning of the post they are: Jack, Kate, and Hurley). Hurley then says "Jin." and thus Jin lowers his gun and smiles slightly in bewilderment...L O S T.

The promos have revealed that next week's episode is all about what happened to John off the Island and therefore we must wait two weeks to get back to the present and find out what is to become of those on the island. How very irksom this is to me. Oh well, I 'll manage.

"This Place is Death"

Another terrific episode of Lost last night, more cliffhangers, spectacular. I've realized that just about every question on the show can be answered with: "It's Ben's fault." For instance: Why is the island jumping through time? It's Ben's fault. Why is Kate once again pissed at Jack? It's Ben's fault. Why do the Oceanic Six have to go back to the island? It's Ben's fault. Other such questions that cannot be answered with: "It's Ben's fault," can generally be answered with "It's Locke's/Jack's fault."

Okay then, so last night's episode mainly centered around those on the island, namely Jin who was thought to be dead, so here is the plot:

Jin:

• Jin starts off with Rousseau and the other French people who stand around and argue for a while until Jin starts talking about needing to find his camp and the helicopter which makes him sound crazy.
• The French people have a radio with them, but there is a signal blocking them from sending a transmission, this signal is repeating 4 8 15 16 23 42.
• They ask Jin about a radio tower and he tells them that there is one on the island. They then ask him if he can get to his camp from their current location. He answers no, so they ask him if he can find it from the radio tower and he answers yes so off they go.
• Along their trek they lose one of their people and hear the familiar mechanical creeking of the smoke monster. When they ask him what it is he replys monster and insists that they keep moving. They stupidly decide to go look for their friend (which I suppose I would have too).
• They find their friend when a tree is uprooted and her dead body falls from the sky, then they decide to take Jin's advice and run which at this point does them little good.
• Another Frenchman from the group is grabbed by the monster and dragged (drug?) down a hole beneath a brick wall (not before there is a tug of war between the monster and everyone else which results in the guy's arm being pulled off).
• Everyone except for Jin and Rousseau follows the monster down the hole after they hear their friend yelling for help.
• There is a flash and Jin finds himself alone at the wall with the guy's rotting arm (from the state of decay of the arm we can tell that not much time has passed in this falsh). He sets off in search of his camp or the beach (I'm not 100% sure if he knew where he was going or not) after seeing black smoke on the horizon.
• He ends up on the beach where he finds wreckage from something and somebody's personal belongings (ie. music box, clothing, etc.). There he discovers two of the Frenchmen have been shot to death.
• He sees Rousseau pointing a gun at Robert (the father of her child) and claiming that he is sick, that the monster made him sick. Robert is pleading with Rousseau that he loves her and doesn't want anything to happen to her or their baby.
• When Rousseau lowers her gun Robert cocks his and shoots her, or at least he would have shot her had there been any bullets in his gun.
• Rousseau kills him then sees Jin and starts shooting at him claiming that he is a carrier.
• Jin is running away from her through the jungle when there is another flash.
• After this flash he hears a gun cock and a man (Sawyer) tell him to turn around slowly, which he does.
• After recognizing each other they have a happy excited reunion and Jin asks where the helicopter (and therefore Sun) is.
• The others try to explain that Sun and the other people on the helicopter got off the island and that they are heading to the Orchid station to find a way to bring them back, but it's a bit much to comprehend for someone just learning English, so Jin asks Charlotte to translate, which much to the chagrin of everyone else she does.
• Jin is not happy when he finds out that the plan is to bring Sun back.

Sawyer, Jin, and Company:

• The flashes are continuosly becoming more violent and closer together.
• Eventually they prove to be too much for poor Charlotte (who I never really liked for multiple reasons) who goes wonko because her brain can no longer distinguish between present and past. Sawyer, Juliet, and Miles all end up with bloody noses after this flash.
• John informs the group that they must press on in order to stop the flashes and keep themselves alive and therefore they must leave Charlotte. This brings about much protest from Dan who is 'in love' with Charlotte and therefore REALLY does not wan to leave her even though she tells him too.
• Before Locke and friends set off to find the Orchid Charlotte bursts out (much like Claire in Kate's dream) to Jin (in English and Korean): "Don't let him bring her back!etc. This place is death!"
• So Charlotte and Dan get left behind (they both annoy me, much too secretive the lot of them) and the rest of the group presses on to the Orchid station. Before they leave someone presents the question "What happens if we get there in a time before the Orchid station was built?" and Charlotte answers that they will find it at the well.
• When they first arrive at the station it exists causing Juliet to saysomething along the lines of: "What are the odds that we got here the same time this thing existed," then there is a flash and Sawyer responds: "You just had to say something." (I just realized that no one in the group really calls him Sawyer, the ones who talk to him all call him James.)
• They then look for and find a well which has a rope going down into it and is seemingly bottomless.
• Jin grabs the rope and threatens to cut it if Locke is going to bring Sun back, arguments ensue.
• The resolution is that if Locke sees Sun he will give her Jin's ring and tell her that his body washed up on shore, Locke agrees and begins to shimmy down the rope when low and behold another flash occurs.
• Sawyer grabs the rope (seriously, what good was that going to do) and when the flash is over the rope is sticking out of solid earth which deeply upsets Sawyer who must have thought that Locke (and therefore his only chance of ever seeing Kate again) was dead.

Charlotte and Dan:

• As Charlotte's mind is jumping through time (and therefore causing her to constantly hemorage from her mouth and nose) she reveals to Dan that she grew up on the Island with the Dharma folks and then was forced to leave with her mother.
• She states that a crazy man told her that she had to leave the island and that if she ever came back she would die, and that she thinks that man was Dan.
• She also reveals that she became an anthropologist in hopes of one day find and returning to the Island.
• Then she dies.

Locke and Christian:

• After the flash Locke falls a short ways and hurts himself in the landing finding himself in the wheel chamber thing, or near to it anyway.
• Here he sees Christian Shepherd (Jack and Claire's dead father which Locke does not know) who tells him that he (Locke) was supposed to turn the wheel and that Ben royally screwed things when he turned the wheel (he knocked it off of its axis allowing it to freely spin resulting in the temporal shifts).
• Locke is informed that he must put the wheel back on its axis and then give it a little push which will then move the island and send Locke home so that he can begin his mission of bring the Oceanic 6 back.
• He is told to find a woman in Los Angeles who will know how to return (Daniel's mum no doubt). He is also told that he will have to sacfrifice his life in order to get them to return.
• He turns the resets the wheel on its axis and gives it a little push.
• End episode. (Which poses the question, what time did those on the island get stuck in?)

Oceanic Six:

• The episode opens with Sun receiving a call from Korea from her mother and daughter asking when she is coming home, after a short conversation she replys that she will be home soon, goodbye, etc. then grabs her gun and gets out of her car just in time to see Ben and Kate arguing about Aaron.
• Sun points the gun at Ben and tells Kate to get out of the way who responds with a) "What are you doing?" (wait you've got a gun pointed at Ben, never mind, proceed) and then b) "Where's Aaron?" Sun tells Kate that Aaron is in her car.
• Kate goes to get Aaron, and puts him in her car, then yells at Jack and Ben (who most definately deserved it although she was a tad bit harsh to Jack, but I can see where she's coming from) and leaves.
• Sayid also leaves, warning Jack and Ben that if sees either of them ever again it will not go well (which I think was pretty much the consensus of all those not 'friends' with Ben after the little rondevous). (Off topic tangent, but did Sayid walk away? Because if he didn't then the only car he could have taken would have been Sun's car as he came with Ben in the van and Jack came with Kate who had already left in her car soooo....)
• Anywho Sun tells Ben that he is responsible for Jin's death who rebuts that no one is responsible for Jin's death because he is not dead and if she comes with him he can take her to someone who can offer her proof.
• Sun, Ben, and Jack take the van and head to the mysterious person's (Dan's mum's) place.
• Whilst in the van Jack tells Sun that he is deep ly sorry for leaving Jin and that they should have waited for him.
• She asks him why he is telling her this now and assumes that it is because he doesn't want her to shoot Ben if he is lying. He tells her that after what Ben just did to Kate, if she doesn't shoot him he will.
• Ben angrily and violently pulls the van over to the shoulder of the road and shouts at Sun and Jack that if they knew how hard he'd been working to help and protect them and their friends they would never stop thanking him so if they want to shoot him then they should get it over with otherwise they should let it go and let him drive on.
• Sun tells him to drive and they end up at a church.
• After they get out of the van Ben gives Sun Jin's wedding ring as proof that he is alive telling her that Locke gave it to him, she believes him. He tells her that the people on the island, Jin included really need their help and that there is a woman in the church who can help them get back, but they don't have much time so he needs her to decided right then and there. She agrees to help.
  
• Desmond shows up and asks the group what they're all doing there to which Ben replys probably the same thing as Desmond to which Desmond replys: "You're looking for Faraday's mother too?" To which Ben replies with a puzzled look as he walks off to the church.
• When they enter the church the British woman from Desmond's flashbacks in season three (the same one that Ben visited in episode two of this season) greets Ben (we find out that her name is Eloise) and curtly tells him that she thought she told him to bring 'all of them.' He replies that this was all he could get on short notice and she replies that it will do for now, then tells the group that they have work to do.
• L O S T

I CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE!!!!
However, I'm really sort of rooting for Kate and Sawyer and the commercial made it look like Jack and Kate are going to make up (and out) which is kind of not promising.

"The Little Prince" (Which I actually got to watch live for once)

As I am currently sick and have been so since Monday night I was able to watch 'Lost' at eight o' clock last night when it was on. I was quite glad as it was an extraordinary episode with lots of hints and a few more questions.





Plot:

Kate:

• Kate left Aaron with Sun at her hotel and went to confront Mr. Norton (of Agostini and Norton Law firm) she attempted to broker a deal with said man (she would give him the blood samples in exchange for a meeting with his client) and he all but outright refused, telling her that she is in no position to be making bargains (which I suppose she really isn't, but eh twas worth a try).
• She proceeds to stake out the parking garage where Mr. Norton parked his car in hopes that she can follow him to his mystery client and is doing so when she receives a frantic call from Jack (which she almost doesn't answer and given her situation at the time, I don't think I would have) who is very worried about her whereabouts. She reluctantly informs Jack that Aaron is at a hotel with Sun and gives him directions to where she is.
• Jack shows up and the two are allowed a brief moment for chit-chat before Kate spots Norton leaving the building, she tells Jack to either get in or don't (he does) then speeds off after Norton (of course following the Alias one block rule before starting her engine).
• The two follow Norton to a hotel where they see him give an envelope and a file to the one and only Mrs. Littleton (Claire's mum and Aaron's real grandmum) they immediately assume that she is the mystery client and Jack goes in to speak with her and try to explain everything while Kate waits in the car.
• When Jack comes back he informs Kate that Mrs. Littleton knows nothing about Aaron and is receiving reparations from Oceanic Airlines which she sued (Mr. Norton is obviously her lawyer).
• The two then drive to the marina (slip 23 no doubt) where they meet Ben and Sayid.
• Kate accuses Ben of being the mystery client and he doesn't deny it (I was right about this the entire time).
• End Episode

Jack:

• Jack (after reviving Sayid) is reprimanded for working on a patient (Sayid) at the hospital as his liscence has been suspended. He then answers a call from Hurley who tells him that he is safe from Ben in L.A. County lock-up.
  
• Ben shows up at the hospital and accompanies Jack back to Sayid's room only to discover that Sayind has once again unsuccessfully been attacked by some guy with a tranq gun who had Kate's address in his pocket.
• Jack (who is quite worried and frantic) calls Kate and upon learning her and Aaron's whereabouts tells Kate to call Sun (which she does) and ask her to bring Aaron and meet the at Slip 23 at the marina.
  
• He then goes to find Kate and the rest is in her blurb thing above.
• Except that when they get to the marina Jack tells Kate that Ben is 'with him' and that he is there to help all of them 'be together again.'
  

Ben and Sayid:

• While waiting for Jack to return (from being reprimanded) Sayid is attacked by a man posing as a nurse, he turns the tables on his attacker (having obviously anticipated as there is no way Jack ordered any meds for Sayid, especially the kind that are administered through the IV) and demands to know who sent him. The attacker tells Sayid that the adress is in his pocket then Sayid tranqs the guy.
• Enter Jack and Ben, Sayid asks if they know anyone who lives at 42 Panorama Crest and Jack replies that the address belongs to Kate.
• While Jack goes off to meet Kate, Sayid and Ben drive elsewhere in Ben's van. Sayid informs Ben that he does not trust him, especially with Hurley and that he does not intend to let Ben get anywhere near Hurley. Ben tries to convince him that he is trying to help them all (meaning the Oceanic 6).
  
• The two drive to a parking garage where Mr. Norton (the one and only) who informs Ben that there is no case against Hurley because the man outside of Santa Rosa was killed before Hurley escaped. Hooray.
• The two then drive to the marina to meet Jack and Kate.
• Ben admits to trying to take Aaron away from Kate and promptly informs her that she is not his mother (well yes, but how exactly does Ben have any case against Kate as far as custody goes? Last I checked Ben wasn't Aaron's mum either or any kind of blood relation to Aaron so where does he come off with the power to take custody of Aaron away from Kate?).

Sun:

• Sun stays at the hotel with Aaron while Kate goes to confront Mr. Norton (which was Sun's idea).
  
• Right after Kate leaves Sun receives a package in the mail containing a file on Ben and a gun hidden in a box of chocolates.
• Sun is next seen at the marina with Aaron asleep in the back of her car (I swear they cast the kid that plays him because he sleeps all the time or he fakes sleeping well because he's asleep for like 92.6587% of the show), upon seeing Ben she grabs her gun and gets out of the car.
• End Episode

Sawyer and Friends:

• Sawyer is annoying as Juliet and Dan try to resucitate Charlotte so Juliet sends him away.
• Locke then informs Sawyer that he intends to get off the island (via Orchid station most likely) to bring the six who escaped the island back therefore informing Sawyer that Kate is indeed not dead (yay).
• Meanwhile Dan explains that what is happening to Charlotte is a side effect of the stress of time travel on the mind (what happened to Desmond in Season 4) and that it could happen to them all (he later reveals to Miles that most likely those who have had the most exposure to the island get sick first).
  
• When Charlotte wakes up she doesn't recognize Dan until he tells her his name.
• The group then heads back to the camp to get the Zodiac raft and head to the Orchid station.
• On the way Miles gets a bloody nose.
• Another flash occurs and the group sees a beam of light in the distance (the hatch on the night Boone died) and when they hear screaming Sawyer goes to investigate. He watches Claire give birth to Aaron and therefore sees Kate. Yet another flash occurs and Kate is gone.
• When the group arrives at the beach they find that a) it has been ransacked and all the beer is gone, b) the Zodiac is gone, and c) that some people from Ajira airlines have left their boats on the beach.
• They take one of the boats and head for the Orchid. On the way they find themselves in a gunfight as the Ajira people have followed them in the other boat and are apparently upset that the group thought it would be okay to borrow a boat.
• Luckily a flash occurs and the group find themselves alone, in the boat, in a rainstorm.
• Once they land on the island again they find supplies marked in French, Sawyer and Juliet continue a conversation about him seeing Kate, and Juliet gets a bloody nose.

Jin and Rousseau:

• The French stuff belonged to Rousseau's group who found Jin floating on a piece of boat in the water and got him to the beach in their raft. (YAY, Jin's not dead!)

REALLY, really good episode! Uber excited for next week I am!
