Lost Season 5 Episode 13 was the story of Miles, who found out that the doctor from the videos is his father and was reunited with Faraday as a boy.
Eloise goes to see Penny in the hospital, claiming that her son Daniel was responsible for Desmond being shot.
Flashback to 30 years earlier as Faraday meets up with Miles. He wants to know who told Jack to get on a plane. It was his mother Eloise, who Faraday says was wrong.
A young Daniel is told that he doesn’t have time for distractions like playing the piano because he has to focus on his mind.
Back to Jack in a panic. He goes to see Sawyer, who’s got one of his security guys, Phil, locked up in the closet since he got a video of him and Kate taking Ben out to the hostiles.
Faraday makes his way underground into what will be the hatch. He asks Dr. Chang to order the evacuation of every man, woman, and child on the island, warning of a catastrophic accident. His reasoning behind this request: he’s from the future. By the way, Miles is his son, and he’s also from the future. Miles denies this.
Back to the future. Daniel is graduating from university and making plans to eat with his overprotective mother, who warns him that the women in his life will always be terribly hurt by his work always coming first. He tells her that he just got a new research grant from some industrialist, Charles Widmore.
Sawyer considers where they’re living now to be home, but they have no choice but to leave. They have two choices: get on the sub or head into the jungle. While they’re voting, Faraday knocks on the door and asks where he can find the hostiles. One of them is his mother, who can get them back to where they belong.
Flash forward to Faraday watching a plane crash on the TV and crying because of it, when he gets his first visit from Widmore. He came to offer him a new opportunity. The people on the plane are not dead, which he knows because he put it there. He can tell him that because come tomorrow he won’t remember that he was told. His new offer is to send him to the island to heal his mind and memory.
Sawyer doesn’t want to tell Jack where the hostiles are. So he asks Kate. Juliet gives them the code for the fence and tells them to go.
Daniel meets Charlotte as a little girl. He instructs her to listen to Dr. Chang when he tells her to go on the sub and leave the island.
As they’re grabbing guns, a shootout starts. Dan gets hit in the crossfire, but they’re able to shoot their way out of it and drive away.
Eloise tells her son it’s very important that he accept Widmore’s offer to go to the island.
Faraday tells Jack that this is their present. Any one of them could still die.
An alarm sounds as men with guns come to see Sawyer. They’ve been infiltrated. Upon checking the closet, they find Phil. Sawyer and Juliet are can get on the ground with their hands up now.
Daniel’s looking to prevent the entire chain of events that led them all there. He’s realized they can change their destiny by destroying the energy under the hatch. If they do that, Desmond won’t fail to push the button, and the plane won’t crash. How’s he going to do that? By detonating a hydrogen bomb. Yeah, that sounds safe.
Eloise tells Penny that for the first time in a long time she doesn’t know what will happen next. The nurse comes to get her, and Desmond is in recovery and doing okay. Then Eloise goes outside to leave, when she meets up with Charles, who says that Daniel’s his son, too.
Upon arrival at the hostile camp, Daniel is told that Eloise isn’t there. He asks for the bomb. As he’s counting down and warning Richard with his gun, Eloise shoots him from behind. Bad news, mom, you just shot your son.
