Is this the Indian guy who expressed his condolances to Jack in the airport? His name is Cesar, and he just lied about finding a gun. There’s a new band of survivors, and they found someone who wasn’t on the plane… John Locke. Somehow, it wasn’t as ominous as when we learned that Ethan wasn’t on the plane, although the music suggested it should’ve been.
As my husband so nicely pointed out, Locke is now the Christ figure. That’s been foreshadowed since season one. I think it may be deserving of its own blog post.
Milanna? Is that her name? The pilot (Frank Lapidus) and a woman took the third outrigger and disappeared in the middle of the night.
John remembers dying. And now we get the story of what happened. I really didn’t need the shot of him throwing up. So he’s in the desert. There’s a row of video cameras out there in the middle of the desert, which is a bit odd. A bunch of men came and threw him in a pickup truck. They took him to a dinky little medical clinic… Matthew Abaddon was there. Made him bite down on a stick while they reset his leg. He passed out…
And Charles Widmore was there when he woke up. Okay, quick version. Charles Widmore was the leader of the Others for 30 years until he was exiled by Ben. Widmore remembers meeting John when he was 17. It’s been four days for Locke. (How could he keep track with all of that flashing through time?) The cameras were there because that was the “exit point.” Widmore assumed that Ben exiled Locke, while Locke explained that he left on his own, and Ben was already gone. Widmore knew that Locke left to bring the others back, and told him that the Oceanic 6 have been lying. His story sounds as plausible as Ben’s story, each saying that the other is bad. “There’s a war coming.” And if Locke isn’t on the island when it happens, the wrong side is going to win. Locke is special.
“Jeremy Bentham?”
“He was a British philosopher.”
Nice for them to acknowledge at least one of the names on the show.
Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Why? Oh, Sayid is there building houses.
Locke wants to find Helen Norwood, his old girlfriend. Hey look, it’s Walt! They didn’t forget about Walt! Walt’s been dreaming about him. He didn’t tell Walt he needs to go back. If he can convince one, the rest will follow. Except that we know Walt didn’t come along for the ride. Then again, Walt is special, too. Maybe he can make it on his own.
LOL. Hurley assumes that Locke is dead. “Hey excuse me, am I talking to a dude in a wheelchair right now?”
“I help people get to where they need to get to, John. That’s what I do for Mr. Widmore.”
Aww… Helen died of a brain aneurysm. And whoa… Matthew Abaddon is quite dead now, too. Shot a few times. I’m guessing that Ben was the gunman.
Car crash. Nope, not dead yet. He was brought to Jack’s hospital. Jack’s fighting it, but John obviously made an impression on him when he told him his father said hi.
So Locke’s going to hang himself with electrical wire because Jack got to him by saying that maybe he was never special. Then Ben walks in. Both he and Widmore are telling him that he needs to lead the island. That he’s important. Both sides want the same thing, at least as far as Locke is concerned. Ben says he can’t die because he’s got too much work to do.
OMG! Ben talked John down… until he gave him Eloise Hawking’s name. That’s all he needed to know, the last piece of the puzzle… So Locke didn’t kill himself. He was murdered. How many times has ben tried before, succeeding only now? Although I suppose it doesn’t really count as a success now that John is alive again on the island.
“He’s the man who killed me.” This will not go well for Ben.
