Welcome to another fun Lost recap! This was yet another fascinating episode and I loved every minute of it! It started with Jin's experience in the "Rousseau Era". Jin goes on an adventure with Danielle Rousseau and her crew. They have a run in with the smoke monster, which ends up killing a woman traveling with them and then dragging a man down into the Others' temple. One of the greatest scenes was all of the adventurers grabbing onto this man who is being dragged by the smoke monster and then seeing his arm pop off as he is taken under. All of the other people in Rousseau's group decide to go in after this man, but Jin urges Danielle to not go with them because she is pregnant. As they are standing there waiting for the crew to return, another flash occurs and Jin is taken to a new time period.
This time he explores a camp and sees two dead bodies. Then he hears a man and woman talking and sees Danielle and her husband pointing guns at each other. The man is urging her to put down her gun and Danielle is freaking out that her husband has been infected by the smoke monster and is not her husband anymore. Her husband convinces her that he is still her husband and she starts lowering her gun...only for her husband to pull the trigger on his gun pointed at her! Luckily the gun doesn't work, and Danielle goes ahead and shoots her "husband". Danielle then sees Jin and assumes he has been infected too and starts shooting at him. Luckily, Jin is saved by another flash...but he ends up with another gun pointed at him.
This time, though, the holder of the gun is Sawyer, and when he sees that it is Jin in front of him, he is excited to see him and they embrace. It is a great scene showing how far their friendship has developed throughout the course of the show. The castaways then make their way with Jin to the Orchid where John is convinced he can leave the island and convince the oceanic 6 to come back. They get more rapid flashes as they go, and Charlotte starts losing it. She collapses and starts talking about memories that happened a long time ago as if they are occurring right then and there. One notable thing she says, though, is our episode's title. She tells Jin not to bring Sun back to the island because "This place is death!". The castaways leave Charlotte and Daniel behind and proceed to the Orchid, which disappears as they travel to a time period where it didn't exist (right after Juliet happily exclaims that they are lucky they are in a time period where the Orchid still exists).
In one of her crazy rants, Charlotte told Locke to go to the well, so that is where they go, and John proceeds to climb down the well. Jin gives him his wedding ring before he leaves and tells him to convince Sun not to come back to the island by telling her that a dead Jin washed upon the shore and this is his ring for proof. Locke swears that he won't bring Sun back and then climbs down the well. Another flash occurs and the well is gone for the castaways, leaving them wondering if John was able to get down there in time. We are able to see that Locke falls down the well when the flash occurs, and ends up breaking his leg upon impact. He is given instructions by Christian Shepperd that he was supposed to move the island, not Ben, so now he has to make up for that mistake by moving the island now. So, John has to get up all by himself and move the big wheel and we'll see where that leads him possibly in the next episode!
Also on the island, Charlotte can't handle the flashes any longer and ends up dying. But, before she does she tells Daniel that she used to live on the island with the Dharma Initiative. She says that a man told her she would die if she ever returned to the island, and that man looked a lot like our very own Daniel Faraday! Very interesting. Does this mean that a flash will lead Daniel to a Dharma Initiative past where he tells a young Charlotte not to come back to the island where she will die? Or, is there more to Daniel than we already know?
Off the island, Sun storms up to Ben with a gun and almost pulls the trigger until Ben tells her that Jin is still alive and he has proof. Ben then drives Sun and Jack to the place where he has this proof for Sun. After a dramatic stop of the car where Ben loses it a little bit as Sun and Jack are discussing which one will shoot Ben, they arrive at the church where Ms. Hawking is. Ben pulls out the wedding ring Jin gave Locke and gives it to Sun. Ben says that Jin gave it to Locke before Locke left the island- so now we know that Ben and Locke talked to each other when Locke got off the island. We also see Desmond, who has come to see Daniel's mother, who is the very same Ms. Hawking they are all there to see. They arrive and Ms. Hawking exclaims that Ben was supposed to get all of them in which Ben responds that this is the best he could do on short notice. Ms. Hawking says that it'll have to do, and that is where the episode ends, leaving us wanting more.
I love this show so much! I'm curious to see where Locke ends up after he moved the wheel on the island. I also want to see how Ben can get more oceanic sixers to join his cause and allow them to return to the island together. Also, I'm curious if Ben can return to the island himself. He said he couldn't since he moved the wheel...but now we find out he wasn't even supposed to do that in the first place. And, Locke moved the wheel too, but it is clear that he is not only allowed, but supposed to come back to the island. So, I'm sure many of these things will be answered in the next episode- I can't wait!
