There were more revelations on this week’s episode of Lost. This one focused on Desmond and how he is now back on the island. It appears he was drugged and taken against his will on to the island.
It was later revealed in the episode that yes, Charles Whidmore, Desmond’s old nemesis had brought him back to the island against his will.
But it wasn’t just some malicious thing to get him away from Penny, Whidmore’s daughter.
Charles is truly afraid of the black smoke getting off of the island. It seems we are led to believe that this black smoke is the actual devil and if he is able to break out of the prison that is the island which holds him that he will destroy the world.
What remains unclear is if he is the devil and so powerful why does he need the help of these people, these survivors to get off the island? Isn’t he powerful enough to just break whatever chains are holding him to the island and get off himself?
They’ve hinted at it a couple of times that he needs all of the people on the list for some reason. The reason is still yet to be revealed.
I’m speculating that maybe if all of the caretakers still on the list publicly and verbally give up their caretaker rights position that perhaps the bonds which hold the black smoke will be broken.
And it was also revealed the devil or the John Locke character is going to unleash Claire to do whatever she wants with Kate once he has broken free of the island. The ominous quote was “once we’re off the island whatever happens to her happnes”.
But back to Charles Whidmore. He needed Desmond because Desmond is the only one who has survived an electromagnetic event the size that the island is capable of producing. So he ruthlessly uses him as a test monkey or lab rat and subjects him to a major electromagnetic pulse which has just killed one of Charles’ own men inadvertently.
Of course Desmond survives and then is made to be a believer in the cause of keeping the black smoke caged. Some strange things happened during the electromagnetic pulse which he does not know whether they were all hallucinations or actual memories. A glimpse of what his life is like since the survivors and Daniel Whidmore set off a nuclear bomb at the end of last season were revealed during his harrowing time in the electromagnetic field.
I won’t do a complete spoiler at the episode is definitely worth watching.
