Jack and the survivors wait for Charlie to turn off The Others’ signal-jamming device, not knowing that he has been captured at the Looking Glass station. In addition, Sayid, Jin and Bernard are captured after The Others invade the camp.
Desmond has another vision of Charlie’s death, but this time his death ultimately will result in Claire’s rescue. Meanwhile, the survivors discover that an attack by the others is even more imminent than originally expected.
As Ben takes Locke to see Jacob and reveal the island’s secrets, Ben’s background on the island is exposed–as well as what happened to the Dharma Initiative.
Locke tells Sawyer that he needs to come with him to kill Ben. But the man Locke wants him to kill is actually his father–who also happens to be a figure from Sawyer’s past.
An unlikely person helps Desmond save the life of the mysterious woman who crashed onto the island, and Juliet helps Sun find out whether she conceived on the island or before the plane crash.
