Hugo takes center stage.

We explore deeper into what Hugo’s life was like after the nuclear bomb was set off. We see the changes and how he would have interacted if his life had not been altered by the crash.

Obviously, the Libby character, who was his love interest from season two or season three, comes back. Only this time she is the one in the mental hospital and claiming that she knows him from a past life. It got a little bit sappy but when she first kisses Hugo he starts seeing flashes of their time together on the island but does not know what to do with these images nor what to make of them.

Hugo was doing his normal rich guy thing with lots of his chicken restaurant’s and also lots of philanthropy. But his mom was getting upset because even though “everybody loves Hugo” she says “women do not love Hugo”.

So she sets him up on this blind date with Rosalita who is a neighbor and ends up not showing up for it. This is when the crazy Libby approaches Hugo at the restaurant with her wild story.

Meanwhile back on the island survivors are actually starting to listen to Hugo and put great weight in his decision-making. His influence on them is gaining but he also is starting to feel the weight of that responsibility.

The John Locke devil wants to know what Charles Whidmore was hiding and sends Sayid to find out. Sayid discovers Desmond and brings him back to John Locke.

Of course you’re led to wonder exactly what is going to happen and even though the black smoke doesn’t know why Desmond is there he does know that since Whitmore wants him there he should eliminate him. So he takes him out on a walk just the two of them and ends up throwing him down a well.

We aren’t shown what happens to Desmond we can only conclude that he is dead.

There was a cool dynamite scene where the protector of the “candidates” gets taken out because of the unstable dynamite. The Michael character from the early seasons of Lost appears a few times in this episode to warn Hugo of the danger of destroying the plane.

So Hurley takes this to mean that the plane needs to stay intact and they need a different plan. They’re on their way to get more dynamite from the old ship when Hurley ends up blowing the ship up.

Some of the group here follows Richard Alpert. Jack, Sun, and the pilot end up following Hugo. Richard is convinced they have to blow up the plane still. Hugo has decided that Michael is right and should be listened to so he decides they need to go talk to the black smoke John Locke guy.

They arrive in the John Locke camp and then everything goes dark so hopefully next week we will find out what happens as we march ever closer to the finale of Lost.
