Lost: I Do
As Jack makes his final decision regarding Ben's offer, Kate begins to fear that Pickett may finally follow through on his grim promise to kill the rebellious Sawyer. Back in more carefree days, Kate is in her hotel room admiring her wedding veil when a policeman knocks on the door demanding to be let in immediately. When the door flies open Kate and her future husband Kevin joyously embrace one another. Though Kate may be having second thoughts about the union, Kevin confidently assures her that love will see the couple through any future struggles. Back on the island, a look at Ben's x-rays and medical files leads Jack to believe that Ben's tumor will be inoperable within the week. If Ben has any hope for survival, he will need to be operated on immediately; the only catch is that jack refuses to operate. Later Sayid voices skepticism when Locke claims that an animal killed Mr. Eko. Though Sayid eventually gets Locke to admit that it was the "monster" that killed Mr. Eko and not a wild animal, Locke doesn't believe in monsters anymore. Back at the Others' compound, an alarm sounds as Alex emerges from the jungle on a frantic search for her boyfriend. She claims that the rest of the Others killed him and that Sawyer is next. Later, Juliet tells Kate that the only way she can save Sawyer's life is to convince Jack to operate on Ben. Though she does her best to pursued Jack to follow through with the operation, Jack is infuriated that she would believe anything they say. Back at the wedding alter, Kate flinches when the minister mentions the importance of honesty in marriage since her groom doesn't even know her real name. She later phones the U.S. Marshal pursuing her and pleads with him to call off the chase, and is shocked that he agrees on the condition that she finally settle down. When Sawyer reveals to Kate that he is glad Jack won't operate on Ben, she escapes from her cage and breaks into his. Suddenly overcome with emotion and passion, the imprisoned couple connects like never before. Back at the camp, Locke lays Mr. Eko to rest and finally receives his message as a mysterious figure unlocks Jack's door back at the Hydra station. After making his way to the monitors, Jack is crushed to see Kate and Sawyer making love in Sawyer's cage. Suddenly, Ben appears directly behind Jack, who agrees to perform the operation if Ben makes good on his promise to get Jack off of the island. In a flashback, Kate is relieved to discover that she isn't pregnant as suspected. Realizing that she will never settle down, the newly married fugitive makes a hasty departure. As Jack begins to operate on Ben, Pickett rushes to Sawyer's cage and prepares to execute him while Kate watches. Things quickly take a turn for the chaotic, however, when Friendly calls back to the operating room on his walkie-talkie and Jack threatens to let Ben die if they don't allow Kate and Sawyer free. The only way Jack will know for sure that they have escaped is if Kate radios him once they are safe and tells him the story she shared on the day of the crash. Though Kate responds that she's not going anywhere without Jack, he screams at her to run. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: A Tale of Two Cities
An airplane breaks in half in the blue sky over an idyllic suburban setting, and as the inhabitants of the homes emerge to cast their glances upward it quickly becomes apparent that the downed plane is Oceanic Flight 815, and that the people watching from below are the dreaded Others. As Jack awakens on a steel table in a securely locked room, Sawyer regains consciousness in an above ground cage and Kate finds herself in a locker room with the malevolent Mr. Friendly. Mr. Friendly does his best to convince Kate to take a shower and change into some clean clothes as a woman who introduces herself as Juliet appears on the other side of a Plexiglass wall to try and calm a visibly agitated Jack. Flashing back to the past when Jack's marriage was dissolving, the captive doctor recalls the time he became obsessed with discovering the identity of his wife's new lover. Meanwhile, back on the surface, Sawyer discovers that he can manipulate a bizarre contraption in his cage to earn a fish biscuit, water, and grain as Mr. Friendly locks up Kate in an adjacent cage. Later, when Juliet returns to speak with Jack, he successfully manipulates her to enter the room before holding her hostage with a broken piece of plate and demanding to be set free. Henry attempts to prevent Jack from leaving by announcing that if he opens the door they will all die. When Jack does open the door, a violent flood comes washing in and Henry escapes to safety. Eventually, Jack and Juliet work together to access the emergency drain button, after which Juliet knocks Jack unconscious. Upon awakening back in his room Jack learns that he is being held in an underwater aquarium known as the Hydra station. Finally broken, he humbly allows Juliet to enter his room with some food. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: The Glass Ballerina
While Sayid's attempt to locate Jack places Sun and Jin directly in harms way, the conflicted doctor receives a tempting offer from his captors. Sun recalls the time when she lied to her father about breaking a glass ballerina. Though she knew that blaming it on the maid would have dire consequences for the struggling laborer, she did so anyway. Despite the fact that her father knows she is lying, he reluctantly accepts her story. Back on the sailboat, Sun, Jin, and Sayid await the arrival of Jack, Kate, Michael, Hurley, and Sawyer. Though Sayid proposes that they sail around the mountains to build another signal fire, Jin rejects the idea citing Sun's rapidly deteriorating health. Eventually, Jin and Sun allow Sayid to do whatever he deems necessary. After learning from Colleen that Sayid has a sailboat and may be moving in on them, Ben instructs Colleen to assemble a team to go intercept the vessel. As Colleen sends Pickett off on the mission, a furtive kiss between the two is unknowingly witnesses by Jack and Kate. When Pickett attempts to lay down the law, Kate's attempt to stall him results in Sawyer getting zapped. Out at sea, Sayid finds the dock where Michael and Walt were released and suggests building the new signal fire there. But Sayid's plan runs even deeper than that, because he soon admits to Sun that he intends to draw the Others out with the fire and kill all but two. When that is done, he will play the surviving pair off one another for information. Eventually, Jin figures out the plan and becomes furious with Sun for deceiving him about it. Back in Sun's past, Jar Lee showers her with gifts but ultimately fails to convince her to leave Jin. After Mr. Paik discovers Jae Lee and Sun together, he informs Jin that Jae Lee has been stealing from him and that he must be killed for the transgression. Despite Jin's protests, Mr. Paik insists that the job be done. Jin subsequently delivers a devastating beating to Jae Lee along with a warning to leave the country. While Jin thinks this will be enough to make Jae Lee disappear forever, someone else has a more permanent solution in mind. In a jungle clearing, Sawyer's escape plan goes suddenly awry, eventually prompting Pickett to zap him into unconsciousness. When Colleen surprises Sun on the boat, a struggle ensues that ends with Sun shooting Colleen in the gut. Their escape plan having failed miserable, Sawyer and Kate are thrown back into the cages as Ben listens to their entire discussion on the monitors. Upon repeating his offer to a broken Jack with visible proof that the Others have contact with the outside world, the doctor slowly finds himself buying into the proposal. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: The Cost of Living
The demons of the past return to taunt Mr. Eko as Locke leads a search party into the jungle hoping to locate the missing castaways. Upon awakening from a dream about the time he and his brother Yemi were caught stealing food from the church pantry, Mr. Eko awakens to find Yemi in the tent imploring him to confess his past sins. Meanwhile, Ben brings Jack to Colleen's funeral, but denies that the tumor is his when the grieving doctor presses for information. When Sayid updates locks after returning to the camp with Jin and Sun, Locke suggests trying to use the computer at the Pearl station to contact the Others. Perhaps if they can start a dialogue with their enemies there is a chance that Jack, Kate, and Sawyer will be released. As Locke speculates that Mr. Eko is on his way to the plane that sits atop the Pearl station entrance, Mr. Eko recalls the time he returned to the church following Yemi's death. After informing Amina that he is Father Yemi's replacement, the pair hears gunshots outside. Emeka and the gang have come to demand the vaccine, casually killing an innocent woman to prove just how serious they are. Should they not have the vaccine when the gang returns a few days later, the situation promises to deteriorate even further. After stumbling through the foliage delirious and suffering multiple hallucinations, Mr. Eko has a confrontation with the smoke monster that ends with Locke, Desmond, Sayid, Nikki, and Paulo appearing on the opposite side of the river. As the group makes their way to the Pearl station, Ben reveals that his plan to break Jack was ruined when Jack saw the x-rays, a conversation that culminates with the leader of the Others humbly asking the doctor to save his life. As Mr. Eko's thoughts drift back to Nigeria once again, he recalls his plans to steal the vaccine for himself and the violent slaughter that followed. In the aftermath of the violence the church is boarded up since it is no longer sacred, leaving Mr. Eko to feel as if he owes his brother a church. Deep in the Hydra station, Juliet pretends to show Jack a movie while pleading with him to kill Ben during the operation while making it look like an accident. Simultaneously, in the Pearl station, Sayid fails in his efforts to contact the Others but is shocked to see a mysterious man in one of the few working monitors. As Yemi appears to Mr. Eko again demanding that he repent for his sins, Mr. Eko refuses, claiming that he didn't sin since he killed to protect his family. Just as Mr. Eko defies his brother, the smoke monster appears to deliver a devastating blow. As Locke kneels down to comfort Mr. Eko in his final moments, the dying man delivers an ominous warning. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: Further Instructions
In the aftermath of the hatch explosion, the fates of Locke, Mr. Eko, and Desmond are finally revealed as Locke flashes back to the time he once spent in a highly secretive commune. Upon awakening in the jungle, a severely disoriented Locke notices Desmond running by completely naked. Before Locke can call out to him though, Desmond has already disappeared. Locke is mute, and determined to finally find out the truth about the island. When Locke returns to the camp and begins constructing a sweat lodge, Charlie is assigned the task of standing guard just outside the structure. The vision that Locke experiences after consuming a bowl of mysterious paste is remarkable in its vividness: Boone is pushing a wheelchair-bound Locke through the Sydney airport, explaining that someone on the island is in great danger and that Locke is their only hope for salvation. While at first it's difficult to discern who it is that is in such mortal danger, the discovery of Mr. Eko's bloodied "Jesus stick" followed by a vicious polar bear is all Locke needs to set out on his rescue mission. His mind drifting back to his former life in northern California, Locke recalls picking up a hitchhiker named Eddie and taking him back to live with his "family" in a remote, farm-like community. While the group accepts Eddie with open arms, it's fairly obvious that they have some secrets to hide. Back on the island, Locke and Charlie set out in search of Mr. Eko only to be confronted by a polar bear. When Locke throws a knife at the bear and it nearly strikes Hurley instead, the frightened Hurley cautiously makes his way back to the camp. On his way back Hurley crosses paths with the naked Desmond, who makes a mysterious comment about a speech by Locke in which he stated he would go after Jake, Kate, and Sawyer; the only problem is, that speech never happened. Back on the commune Eddie knows that the family is keeping a secret and voices a pointed desire to get in on the action. Though Locke makes good on his promise to discuss the matter with the leaders of the group, they already know that Eddie is an undercover cop looking to gather evidence against them. In the tense standoff that follows, Locke holds Eddie at gunpoint and prepares to do whatever is necessary to protect his "family." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: Every Man for Himself
Sawyer and Kate discover just how serious their captors are about ensuring they stay securely locked away, prompting Sawyer to recall the time he previously spent in jail with a man accused of stealing $10 million from the government. Soon after Sawyer rigs his cage so that he and Kate can make a clean getaway, Ben shows up to reveal that the electricity has been shut down and pummels the ex-con until he is unconscious. After waking up strapped to a table, Sawyer struggles as the Others jam a stick into his mouth and send a needle plunging deep into his heart. In order to convey the gravity of what they have just done, Ben produces a caged rabbit and proceeds to startle the critter - which promptly keels over and dies. According to Ben, the Others have placed an explosive pacemaker in Sawyer's heart that has been specially designed to self-destruct if his heart-rate exceeds 140 beats per minute. Should Sawyer reveal this development to Kate, they promise to place one in her as well. Later, after the two are placed back in their cages, Kate wants to escape but can't understand Sawyer's hesitation. Frustrated, Sawyer recalls the time he met a man named Munson in prison that stole $10 million from the government and was rumored to have stashed it for retrieval upon his release. Back in the Others' compound, Colleen is rushed into the operating room after being shot by Sun.

Lost: Enter 77
As Sayid, Locke, Kate, and Rousseau navigate the jungle in search of the Others' camp, a curious discovery leads the former Republican Guard to recall a time when his demons caught up with him. After finding a cow in the jungle, the curious travelers discover a farmhouse sporting a gigantic satellite dish. The presumed resident, a one-eyed man the group had previously seen on the Pearl station monitor, is standing nearby. Curious, Sayid walks over to strike up a conversation as Locke and Kate cover him from behind and Rousseau slips back into the jungle. Flashing back to the past, Sayid recalls the time he worked in a Paris restaurant. One day, a fellow Iraqi named Sami came into the restaurant and attempted to lure Sayid away with a lucrative job offer. According to Sami, his restaurant is much nicer than the one where Sayid currently works. When Sayid attempts to take Sami up on his offer, the restaurateur's wife Amira - a former victim of Sayid's excruciating brand of interrogation - gives the cue to take her former captor prisoner. At first Sayid denies torturing Amira, prompting Sami to try and beat a confession out of their captive. Later, when Amira tells Sayid the story of a tortured cat that she rescued and how the experience helped her overcome her own trauma, Sayid admits that he is indeed the man who tortured her back in Iraq. Much to Sayid's surprise, Amira forgives him. Meanwhile, as Sawyer challenges his fellow survivors to a ping pong tournament on the beach, Sayid is shot in the shoulder by the one-eyed man while attempting to approach the farmhouse. When the man comes to check on Sayid, Locke and Kate hold him at gunpoint. After revealing himself to be Mikhail Bakunin, the last surviving member of the Dharma Initiative, the man takes Sayid inside the farmhouse to remove the bullet. Once inside, Mikhail reveals to the group that the farmhouse is actually known as the Flame Station to the islanders, and that the purpose of the station is to communicate with the outside world. The Dharma Initiative members had previously been wiped out by the Hostiles, and the only reasons Mikhail survived was by avoiding battle and subsequently agreeing never to set foot in the valley again. As Sayid begins to question Mikhail the situation grows tense once again, eventually resulting in a tense standoff between Mikhail and Locke, and Sayid and Klugh. Though the group had made some pretty interesting discoveries in the farmhouse, all hopes for a rescue quickly go up in flames when it explodes into a massive fireball. Apparently, an innocent game of chess that Locke played on Mikhail's computer was much more than a simple means of passing time on a deserted island. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: One of Us
When Juliet arrives back at the beach camp with Kate, Sayid, and Jack it first appears that she has severed her ties with the Others, but a subsequent crisis with Claire could signal a more ominous modus operandi. On their way back to the camp, Jack details the deal he struck with Ben to an increasingly suspicious Kate. Juliet is hesitant as to how the rest of the survivors will react to her presence, a feeling that is later justified when Sawyer makes it obvious that she isn't wanted there and Hurley seems to issue her a thinly veiled threat. Looking back into Juliet's past, we see her arriving at a private airport to be escorted to the island by Richard Alpert and Ethan Rom. Upon meeting with Ben, Juliet says that she will have to take one of the pregnant women off of the island in order to find out why expectant mothers keep dying there. Ben says this is impossible.

After explaining that Claire's immune system is malfunctioning and Ethan had been feeding her important medication he had stashed nearby, Juliet retrieves the medicine and tries to administer it.

Locke too opts to take the calm approach, casually adding that chances are good Jack has a plan. Suddenly, time flashed backward to the time when Locke was sitting in his apartment and heard a knock at the door. On the other side is a young man named Peter who seems to know quite a bit about Locke's recent past. It seems that Peter's mom has recently gotten involved with a retired computer entrepreneur named Adam Seward. Peter thought something seemed strange about Adam, so he did a little research and discovered that the man's real name was Anthony Cooper - the same man to whom Locke donated one of his kidneys. Back on the island nighttime has come, giving Kate, Locke, and Sayid the opportunity to slip into Jack's house unnoticed. Jack is angered to see Kate, ordering her to leave before her presence is noticed. But it's too late, because guards are already at the door with a captive Sayid. Meanwhile, Ben awakens from his slumber to find an armed Locke demanding to know the location of the submarine. When Alex bursts in, Locke grabs the girl and hides in the closet. Immediately thereafter, Friendly arrives to inform Ben that Kate and Sayid have been captured during a failed attempt to rescue Jack.

At the same time, Ben begins to suspect that Locke is planning on blowing up the submarine, revealing that he knows precisely how Locke ended up in a wheelchair. Ben suspects that Locke is afraid to leave the island because he may not be able to walk again, and describes the island as a large box that can give one anything they want if they only imagine it. Later, after Alex gives Sayid's pack to Ben as requested and Locke gets a chance to check out the sub, Juliet and Jack prepare to board the vessel for their ride back home as it suddenly explodes.

Out in the water, Kate and Sawyer row towards their island while arguing over whether or not to go back and rescue Jack. Any hope for a rescue attempt seems quickly dashed by Karl, however, when he informs the pair that Ben will most certainly kill them should they be foolish enough to return to the Others' compound.

Hurley discovers a minivan on the island, prompting him to flash back to the time he and his father attempted to fix an old Camaro. After visiting Libby's grave to tell her how much he misses her, Hurley notices a visibly upset Charlie moping around nearby and quickly walks over to see what's bothering his old friend. It seems that Desmond's prediction about Charlie's death has got the former rock star down. Hurley is convinced that the whole thing is his fault, but before he can make his point Vincent shows up carrying a skeletal human arm that still grips a pair of car keys. Chasing Vincent into a nearby clearing, Hurley notices a tipped-over minivan in the brush. While none of the other castaways seem particularly interested in his find, Hurley does manage to convince Jin to take a break from his English lessons and give it a look. At the same time Jin and Hurley realize that the man in the minivan was making a beer run, Sawyer and Kate bicker back and forth as they make their way back to the camp. When their attempt to leverage the minivan fails, Hurley finds his thoughts drifting back to the time when television reporter Tricia Tanaka interviewed him for the grand re-opening of Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack. Immediately after the disastrous interview, a meteor slammed into the Chicken Shack killing Tanaka and her entire crew.

One particular morning, over breakfast, the powerful producer introduces Nikki to his new chef Paolo before suddenly keeling over dead - poisoned by Paolo so the chef and his secret lover Nikki could abscond with the producer's prized diamonds. Back on the island, Nikki dashes through the jungle, hastily buries something in he ground, and then collapses dead in front of Hurley and Sawyer. Upon finding Paolo's body in the jungle, Sawyer and Hurley launch an investigation into their bizarre deaths. Earlier that morning Desmond saw Nikki arguing with Sawyer, but Sawyer claims that did nothing more than deny her request for a gun. After crashing on the island, Nikki had been desperate to find the diamonds. Though Paolo eventually found them during an excursion into the jungle, he lied to Nikki about it and hid them in the Pearl station toilet. When Nikki found out about the betrayal, she attempted to get a gun from Sawyer. Rejected, the jilted thief instead opted to use one of entomology enthusiast Dr. Arzt's rare poisonous spiders as a weapon. Unfortunately for Nikki, the plan backfired and she too was bitten. Yet despite the fact that the spider bite does induce paralysis, it doesn't cause death; but this is one science lesson that Nikki won't learn until it's far too late. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Meanwhile, Sun recalls the time in Korea when an older woman blackmailed her, forcing the recently married Sun to enter into a deal with her father that would forever seal Jin's fate. Back on the island, Juliet takes Sun to the medical station for a checkup, and Sun admits that she's not sure the baby is Jin's. Out in the jungle, Charlie, Jin, Hurley and Desmond discover that the parachute woman has been impaled by a branch. Suddenly, Mikhail lurches out of the trees and attempts to run away before being tackled by Jin. The parachute woman is clearly dying, but ex-army medic Mikhail agrees to help her in exchange for his freedom. After successfully removing the branch and ensuring that the woman can breathe, Mikhail unsuccessfully attempts to make off with the sat-phone. Later, the woman regains consciousness and makes a troubling remark about the ultimate fate of Oceanic Flight 815. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: The Brig
As Sawyer and Locke make their way through the jungle on a mysterious mission, Charlie, Hurley, and Desmond argue over whether Jack can be trusted to tend to the mysterious parachute woman they have recently discovered. It's been eight days since Ben revealed that Locke's father Cooper is on the island. One night, as Sawyer gets up to go to the bathroom, Locke appears claiming that he has successfully infiltrated the enemy and captured Ben. Afterward, the pair makes their way to the place Ben is currently being held captive when Sawyer suddenly hits Locke with the butt of his gun. Wrestling Locke to the ground, Sawyer demands to know what is going on. Locke says that he needs Sawyer to kill Ben since he can't do it himself, though Sawyer isn't about to do Locke's dirty work and promptly refuses. Three days ago Locke had been helping Cindy pitch a tent when he overheard Juliet's taped message to Ben about kidnapping the female survivors. Ben has regained the ability to walk, and he claims that it was all thanks to Locke. Though Ben offers Locke the opportunity to embrace the island's true power by personally killing Cooper, Locke fails and Ben embarrasses him in front of the Others. Back on the beach, Charlie and Hurley realize that Jack might not be trustworthy anymore, and seek out Sayid to look at the parachute woman. She claims that her name is Naomi, a member of a special rescue squad hired by Penelope Widmore to locate Desmond. Though Sayid eventually fixes Naomi's damaged sat phone, the group is disheartened to discover that Rousseau's distress signal is preventing the phone from transmitting. Down at the Black Rock, Locke opens the brig to reveal a man tied up with a bag over his head. When Sawyer walks in to investigate, the door is slammed shut and locked securely behind him. As it turns out, the man in the brig is actually Cooper. Revealing himself to be a con man who has gone by many names - including Tom Sawyer - Cooper believes that the islanders are in fact already dead and suffering in hell. As Sawyer gradually connects the dots, Richard Alpert reveals the true motivations behind Ben's attempt to have Locke kill Cooper. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Lost: Catch-22
Desmond experiences a vision that propels him into the jungle as he recalls his first encounter with Penny Widmore. Jolted awake after a disturbing prophetic dream in which Charlie is killed and a mysterious helmeted figure falls out of the night sky, Desmond demands that Hurley take him to the place where the cable is buried in the sand. Later, as Desmond attempts to recruit Jin and Charlie for the mission, his memory drifts back to the time when he was living in a monastery. But getting Charlie to follow along on the trek isn't easy, and only after Desmond lies about his vision does Charlie agree to join the excursion. When the group finds the cable Desmond realizes that his vision is becoming a reality. Meanwhile, as Desmond recalls the time he abandoned his bride at the alter, Kate and Jack experience an awkward reunion. Upon hearing what he believes to be a helicopter crashing into the ocean, Desmond, Hurley, and Charlie race into the jungle in search of the beacon that fell from the sky in his vision. While the trio does find a bag containing a complicated satellite radio-phone, the device doesn't seem to work. But also nearby is a picture of Desmond and Penny, which leads the clairvoyant islander to believe his rescue is finally imminent. When the group wanders into the clearing where Desmond had seen Charlie get killed, Desmond can't help but save Charlie's life - a decision that will no doubt change the outcome of everything. Just a few feet away, Jin screams out; he has discovered a parachutist dangling from the trees. While it isn't Penny, the badly injured woman stuns all three when she suddenly calls out to Desmond by name. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
