Another action-packed thrill ride on this week’s episode of Lost. We can clearly tell we’re coming down to the series finale because there was no single character featured on this episode.
It was a smorgasbord with small glimpses of each of the main characters in the episode as well as how their lives would’ve been had they never been on the island.
The John Locke camp and Jack Sheppard and Hugo with their small group have now joined at the beginning of this episode. Charles Whidmore and his crew send out their number 2 as an emissary to John Locke demanding that he return Desmond to them.
So my suspicion that Locke threw him down the well and killed him was incorrect. He sends Sayid out to the well to murder Desmond Hume in cold blood. But Desmond starts talking to Sayid and asking him why he is doing this and what he will tell the woman he loves he had to do in order to be with her again.
This gives Sayid pause and I don’t believe he has killed Desmond. John Locke finds him in the jungle and questions him about whether he pulled the trigger and he says that he did. He even invites Locke to go check to see whether the deed has been done.
John Locke is moving his camp over toward the auxiliary island so that they can get on the plane as they are now all together and can all get off of the island together.
Sawyer has other plans because he doesn’t trust Locke and does trust Charles Whidmore instead.
Sawyer steals the boat that Locke was going to use and takes over only Jack, Kate, Hugo, Lapidus the pilot, and Sun. But Claire ends up following their small group and holds a gun on them so Kate invites her to come along much to Sawyer’s dismay.
Sawyer had told Kate earlier in the episode that Claire has been on the dark side for a long time and that Sayid was nothing more than a zombie who has recently gone over to the dark side so neither of them is invited on this trip.
While on the boat sailing to the smaller island Jack has a crisis of confidence and starts asking himself questions about whether they should be off the island. He asks Sawyer point blank if the John Locke character is so desiring of all of them leaving the island together what if he’s afraid of what will happen should they stay?
There is much intrigue and Jack ends up jumping off the boat because Sawyer demands he get off. Sawyer says it’s time to make a decision “you’re either with us or against us”.
So Jack decides he is going to be against them and leaps out.
Sawyer and his crew make it over to the smaller islands and meet up with Whidmore’s people. But Charles has betrayed them. Right before the betrayal Sun and Jin are finally reunited.
We can definitely tell that the John Locke character is pissed and we’re only left to wonder exactly how he’s going to deal with this treachery and what’s going to happen when the final battle between the supposed good guy Charles Whidmore and the suspected bad guy the Black smoke John Locke character finally lock horns in the final battle.

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.

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.
