In LA, we see the culmination of all our favorite LOSTies meeting up in one place. Jack is back home, again noticing that scar on his neck and looking into the mirror. He eats breakfast with his son and Claire when Jack gets a call from an Oceanic Air official who notifies him they found his father’s coffin. It turns out the call comes from Desmond, but they never give us a clear cut reason why Desmond would fake this call. Desmond makes the call from outside Locke’s school as he scopes him out again. Before he can get to him, Ben intercepts, but Desmond tells him he merely wants Locke to “let go” before beating him up, leading Ben to remember Desmond beating him after after shooting him. This must be an inside joke for the LOST makers, as Ben has probably taken more beatings than Jack Bauer has at this point.
A nurse at the school is tending to Ben when Locke rolls in and they discuss the incident. While Locke calls the cops, Ben says that’s not a good idea, as the man says he was trying to get Locke to let go and Ben believed him. The term clearly has an effect on Locke, as Jack just told that to him, and as LAPD is on the other line, we see Desmond stroll into the Police Department. He specifically asks to talk to Sawyer, and ends up turning himself in as the suspect. He is thrown into a cell with... surprise surprise, Sayid and Kate, both of whim have been arrested. The next day Detective Sawyer alerts the prisoners that they’re being taken to another holding place, which doesn’t phase Desmond. Turns out he has this big plan, that he needs them to agree to do whatever he says, and thinking that he’s just some crazy criminal, they agree. The truck stops and Ana Lucia opens the door. She is only concerned with her money, which is delivered by Hurley. He remarks to Desmond that he didn’t know Ana Lucia would be there, showing a clear awareness to the island timeline, but when she asks who he is, he remembers he’s not supposed to know her. She leaves after receiving her 125G’s, before Desmond gives Kate a dress and tells her they’re going to a concert (probably Jack’s son’s concert, where Claire, Jack, Miles, maybe Sawyer, Pierre Chang, Charlotte, and presumably others from the OT will be).
On the island, we finally see Miles, Richard, and Ben again, as they find their way to the Barracks. They make their way to Ben’s house, where he grabs enough C4 to “blow the island to hell). They hear ruffling in the house, and find Zoe, and later Widmore, who have let themselves in and told Ben they are his best chance at surviving. As Zoe goes to take care of some equipment she left in the outrigger, she sees Flocke approaching the island. Widmore demands that she return at once, and informs the others they should hide. Ben and Richard have other ideas, deciding to confront Richard. Bad move for Richard, as Smokie comes and hurls him into the air before coming to Ben as Flocke. He tells Ben there are some people he wants him to kill, and once he does the island will be his. He agrees and rats out Widmore and Zoe. Flocke finds them, slitting Zoe’s throat before demanding that Widmore tell him what he’s doing on the island. He tells her after he threatens to kill Penny, and as he whispers in Flocke’s ear the reason, Ben shoots him dead, saying “he doesn’t get to save his daughter.”
Elsewhere, Sawyer, Hurley, Kate, and Jack have little time to mourn their fallen friends before Jack tells them they must find Desmond. Sawyer laments the deaths, saying they were his fault, before Jack assures him that “he” killed him, taking the high road as opposed to Sawyer, who accused Jack of killing Juliet earlier this season. Hurley sees young Jacob, who steals his own ashes from Hurley and runs off. Hurley finds a fire and adult Jacob, who says when the ashes burn up, he’ll never see him again and also says they’re very close to the end.
Hurley gathers the others, who can now see Jacob, and they have an old fashioned heart-to-heart. Kate wants to know what they died for, and Jacob merely says he made a mistake many years ago, and they must do what he couldn’t (protect the light). Sawyer questions Jacob, asking why they have to pay for his mistake and he was doing just fine, but Jacob rebutes this and says that he didn’t pull any of them from a happy existence. He says they were all miserable and need the island as much as the island needs them. He also tells Kate he crossed her name off because she became a mother, thus having something to live for, but it’s just a chalk drawing on a cage and she can have the job if she wants it. Jack, realizing this was his destiny, takes the job as island protector. He says his prayer and gets some island water in a cup. Before drinking it, Jack asks how long he’ll have to do the job, to which Jacob replies “As long as you can”.
Flocke and Ben approach the well, where they find Desmond was helped out, but says this person actually did him a favor. Widmore told Flocke that Desmond was a “fail-safe” and he’s going to use Desmond to destroy the island, which sucks for Ben. But in the end, we know Flocke’s ultimate end game and have many possible paths for this show to end. Namaste!
