Here it is! I’ve got butterflies in my stomach!
Tiny coffin in the previous scenes… do we learn who was in it?
Kate’s backing up… from the end of last season’s finale! Jeremy Bentham? “You believed him? Him, of all people?” To keep Kate and Aaron safe. Kate’s reaming Jack out pretty good… I’m not getting all of the exposition.
Three years. She’s been trying to forget all the horrible things that happened the day they left for three years. That makes it the end of 2007 or the beginning of 2008 here.
“Of course you’re fine. You’re always fine.” Sundance. LOL.
Is Hurley peeing on a tree? Ha!
Meanwhile, back on the freighter…
Desmond did six months of explosives work when he was in the army. I’ll have to grab exact wording of that quote later. It was awesome. And he does seem to know just about enough to keep from getting blown up. Jin catches on quickly about the “boom.”
Wait… this episode shares the title from last week?
Okay, so Ben gave himself up so that Keamy and his team would leave the Orchid and head back to the helicopter so that Locke could find his way into the Orchid.
Kate is leading Keamy’s team into a trap, I think. Uh oh, whispers. It’s a traaaap!
Taser darts. Nice to see them again. It’s just another lovely ambush by the Others.
Keamy just kicked the grenade at one of his own guys. Nice one, boss.
Nice tackle there, Sayid. Action Sayid is definitely a good Sayid. And Richard Alpert to the rescue, shooting Keamy in the back just before he crushed Sayid’d windpipe.
“They help us free you, and we let them off the island.”
“Fair enough.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
Huh. It can’t be as easy as that.
I’m going to have to submit this after one hour and start a new one for the second hour. It’ll be way too long, otherwise!
Flash forward to Hurley in St. Rosa’s. “Are you Hurley? Are you dangerous?” It’s Walt’s grandma. And Walt is there. Wow, he’s gotten big. He’s a man now, with a man’s voice to go with it.
He was waiting for someone to come see him, but no one did… except for Jeremy Bentham. Will we learn who that is before the end of tonight?
Hurley says that lying is the only way to protect everyone who didn’t come back. Like Michael. So Michael is definitely not the man in the coffin. My money’s on him getting blown up on the Kahana as of right now. Would Hurley know Michael’s fate? I don’t know if they’ll make it back to the freighter.
Locke wants Jack to reconsider leaving the island. He wants him to stay.
Locke is the one who tells Jack they have to lie.
“Just wait until you see what I’m about to do.”
Here’s that whole man of science, man of faith thing again.
LOL at Ben shaking the flowers that Locke couldn’t identify to get into the Orchid.
Nitrogen? Cryo-Cyl? What’s that Michael has there? Oh, it’s supposed to take care of the C4. Hmm. So they can freeze the battery for a short time, but only until the tank runs out. Then they’ll have a warning before the whole thing goes off. Who’s going to stay behind and sacrifice themselves by spraying the battery until it runs out, so that the others can escape on the raft? It’s gotta be Michael. Desmond wants to get back to Penny. That’s when the island will let him die, when he makes up for what he did on the island.
“You’re very dire. But I’m still going to stay.” That’s great, Miles.
Miles knows that Charlotte has been on the island before? “What do I mean?” Cue the mysterious music… dun dun DUN!
“How deep is this station?”
“Deep.”
“Is this the magic box?”
“No, John, it’s not.”
The look on Ben’s face was hysterical.
Orchid video… becoming canon? No way!
*happy dance*
We are witnessing history.
Negatively charged exotic matter in the Vault. Highly volatile and unpredictable. But Ben is placing a number of metallic items in the vault… that must be how the island can be moved.
“Is he talking about what I think he’s talking about?”
“You mean time traveling bunnies? Yes.”
The elevator is going back up.
“You expecting someone?”
“May I have my weapon back?”
Oh man, here they are. The rest of the Oceanic 6… and Sawyer. Sawyer looks jealous as Kate inspects Jack’s wound.
Hacksaw for the handcuffs. Ha.
The film looked odd when Hurley mentioned coming back for Claire. He looked… pixellated.
Keamy’s not dead. I guess they should’ve buried him first. He was stabbed and shot in the back. Good body armor, although he certainly is limping and leaking blood.
Ah. His dead man’s trigger is connected to his heart rate. That makes sense.
“You just killed everybody on that boat.”
“So?”
He is so cold. Good thing the battery is, too…
Yay for the Pushing Daisies promo!
Charlotte is going to stay. For now. “Nothing’s forever.” She was born here. She can’t be Annie, can she? She’s too young. Unless she’s… slowed. Or halted.
Daniel seems to know he’s not going to get back to the island again. And he’s taking a raft full of Redhsirts. They’re going down.
I wonder how the time anomaly works with Keamy’s trigger.
Gunshots are not good for helicopters. I wonder what all that stuff is that they’re tossing out.
“Just do it, Freckles.”
Sawyer bailed on the helicopter so that there would be less weight and enough fuel to get back to the freighter. He told Kate what to do about Clementine, gave her one hell of a kiss, and then dove for the ocean and swam back to the island. That was his choice. That’s the choice he made. I knew it wouldn’t be a long-thought-out decision. He wouldn’t rationally choose to leave Kate and stay on the island. He sacrificed his return so that the others could make it.
Sawyer’s a changed man. It makes it that much sadder that Kate can’t be with him.
