The Little Prince (S5, E4)

How can one show be so awesome? I absolutely loved this episode of Lost! We got to see more about the Oceanic 6 and their process of gathering to get ready to return to the island. It still seems like it is going to be a difficult process, but it doesn't seem quite as impossible. Ben is working his magic and I think he is going to get what he wants. We also got to see some more time travel, which allowed the viewer to look into more history of the island. So, let's get into this!

Regarding the oceanic six, the episode focused on Kate and her going to the lawyer who came to her in the first episode demanded a blood sample from her and Aaron to determine if Aaron was really her son. Kate left her son with Sun, which might not be the most safe move ever since Sun recieves a package with a gun and chocolates. And Sun's method of parenting is fattening the kid up with candy and setting them in front of a TV. But, anyways, Kate goes to the lawyer and wants to know who his client is. She says that she will allow them to take a blood sample as soon as she knows who the client is. The lawyer says he'll talk to his client, but the answer is no. Kate doesn't take no for an answer, so she waits in her car to follow the lawyer to his client. Kate is interrupted though by a frantic Jack who has discovered her address in the pocket of a man who tried to attack Sayid. They end up leaving together to follow the lawyer and are shocked to see the lawyer go to...Claire's mother!

Jack insists that he can talk sense to Claire's mother and get them to leave Aaron alone. What he discovers though, is that Claire's mother has no idea about Aaron and is actually sueing Oceanic for a completely unrelated reason. Who is the real client? Benjamin Linus, of course! The lawyer meets Ben in a garage and tells him that he can get Hurley cleared of charges so they can recruit him. Things are starting to come together. The oceanic six minus Hurley and plus Ben all meet up at the marina. Sun is watching from a distance with Aaron in the backseat contemplating storming up and shooting Ben for revenge. Kate is not happy with the idea that Jack is now on Ben's side and that Ben is the one who was trying to get Aaron. So, there are still a lot of issues to work out, but the oceanic six got one step closer in this episode. Good luck, Ben!

On the island we got to see some more nosebleeds, meaning that the castaways are really starting to feel the effects of time travel. Miles and Juliet now join Charlotte as the nosebleeding three. The castaways took off for the Orchid so that Locke could leave the island like Ben did and convince the oceanic six to come back to stop all the time travelling craziness. They got to see a familiar moment from season 1 where the hatch lit up after Lockes despair over Boone's death. And Sawyer got a glimpse of Claire giving birth to Aaron with Kate playing doctor. This scene was important because it shows that Sawyer really misses and loves Kate, and it shows the beginning of Kate's involvement with Aaron. Another flash came, and the castaways ended up in more current times (although perhaps in the future) evidenced by their ravashed camp.

They find a boat on the shore and take it and start paddling to the orchid station. They end up getting shot at and are "saved" by another flash that sends them into a downpour and they quickly go to the shore. We then cut to another scene where a raft of people see a man out in the ocean laying on some wreakage. They bring him onto their raft, and we discover that it is Jin! He is not dead! The raft people bring him with them to the beach and start questioning him. They are talking in French, but switch to English when they find out that Jin speaks a little English. Big shocker: These people are Rousseau's crew! We see a very pregnant Danielle Rousseau talking to Jin. I am very curious to find out the backstory to these people.

So, that was an incredible episode and I can't wait to see the next episode! So, who do you think were in the boat shooting at the castaways? Could it be the oceanic six who have just come back to the island? Who will be next in having nosebleeds, and what does this mean for our beloved castaways? And what really happened to Rousseau's crew? Hopefully these questions will be answered soon. I can't wait!
