The flashsideways tackled every major character and how their paths will eventually collide. We see Locke being rushed to the hospital (accompanied by Ben Linus). Upon arriving, we see Sun is also being rushed to the hospital (impossible since she was shot 6 days earlier, the day after 815 landed...), and Sun seems to recognize John as UnLocke, screaming out in Korean “No! No! It’s him!”. Elsewhere, Kate is brought to the police department before Sawyer grills her. He asks if she thinks it’s weird that he let her go at LAX and a week later he arrested her. Kate seems to think he had a different reason for letting her go on the elevator, saying that he wanted no one to know he was in Australia. The conversation is interrupted by Miles, who talks about the double homicide involving Sayid and Keamy (also a major error on LOST’s part). We see Sayid later that day frantically packing his bags, telling Nadia he has to go and telling her to stall the police. While she successfully distracts Miles, Sawyer waits out back and trips Sayid with a garden hose, arresting him.
While all this is going on, Claire is at an adoption agency when Desmond stalks her (quite literally, it was insanely creepy). Desmond asks her all these questions about her baby, as she tries to escape, but he finally convinces her to see this lawyer who will give her advice on adoption for free. The lawyer turns out to be none other than... Ilana “Verdansky”. She apparently has been looking all over for Claire and seems pleased that she fell into her lap. We find Jack and his newly nice son David heading to the same building for the reading of Christian’s will. They approach the same room, and Ilana asks Jack if he believes in fate, because she just found his long lost half-sister, Claire! Jack seems completely confused before he’s called away to deal with a huge medical issue, which turns out to be Locke. As he gets ready to do the surgery, he notices Locke as the man he spoke to at the lost baggage room.
Back on the island, the war is in full swing. Jack finally has that talk with UnLocke. He says “you look just like him” before wondering why he chose Locke. UnLocke says Locke was a sucker who followed his belief that he was special until it got him killed. Then Jack asked the question we’ve all wanted to know: Was M.I.B. Christian? In short, yes, he was. He led Jack to water to help him and the 815-ers survive. He says he needs everyone to get on that plane together to leave the island. Jack is still not convinced that he wants to leave, but Claire later tells him that the second you talk to UnLocke, you’ve already sided with him, which could be taken literally or metaphorically. Zoe approaches the camp, asking UnLocke for the package back. When M.I.B. plays dumb, they launch a rocket which misses (UnLocke doesn’t even flinch), before Zoe says, “next time, we won’t miss.” UnLocke decides to move the camp, but Sawyer devises a plan to escape with Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sun, and Lapidus, excluding “Zombie” Sayid and “Nuts” Claire.
Meanwhile, UnLocke tasks Sayid with the job of killing Desmond, which Desmond eventually talks him out of by asking what the woman he loves would say if she knew what he did to get her back. That doesn’t stop Sayid from telling UnLocke that he killed Desmond off. In this time, Jack and crew escape to find the boat Sawyer and Kate took, but unfortunately for them, crazy Claire saw them go. She finds them before they could leave, but Kate talks her down and invites her to leave the island with them. On the boat, Jack has second thoughts, saying that UnLocke wants them to leave and that means it’s a bad idea. Sawyer tells him to take a leap of faith and get off his boat, which Jack eventually does. Sawyer’s crew arrive on Hydra and Sun and Jin FINALLY have that heartwarming reunion we’ve been waiting for. Until, of course, the moment is ruined by Zoe, who is told by Widmore to fire off the weapons. On the main island, UnLocke’s crew is attacked before M.I.B. saves Jack, assuring him that he’s safe and with him now.
So as you can see, I don’t think Desmond is dead, because they wouldn’t kill off such an important character without showing us. I have no clue why Widmore backed out on his offer with Sawyer other than the fact that he is a bastard and only concerned with himself. Desmonds flash sideways plan is definitely to get everyone together so they can have some sort of mass remembering. The flash sideways always seems to pair up people from the island who question how weird it is that they just happen to run into each other, so I think the more people recognize each other, the more the island timeline will start to rear its head. Not many things to discuss from this episode, I just think that Jack is the Last Recruit but is playing UnLocke, trying to keep him on the island as long as possible. The promos for the next episode (May 4th) show a very angry Smokie on a warpath. Looks like it’s about to go down. Two week break?! GAHH! Namaste, LOSTies.
