Jack and Sayid managed to find the hydrogen bomb in Lost Season 5 Episode 15. So their question is: now what? Meanwhile, Sawyer, Juliet, and Kate got on a sub to leave the island, and Locke’s off looking for Jacob so he can kill him.
Two guys whose identities may or may not be revealed are waiting on the beach for the boat to come their way. One’s named Jacob. The other will remain a mystery.
Kate looks to have gotten her bad girl ways started early, shoplifting a lunchbox from a local store. Avoiding a run in with her mom and the cops, Jacob agrees to pay for it.
Kate wants to get out of there. You’re kinda on a submarine and in the ocean. Sawyer doesn’t really care if Jack blows up the island.
Faraday has left detailed instructions how to remove the plutonium core and how to detonate it. This does not seem like a good idea to Richard. They have about two hours to get this to the swan station.
Dr. Chang stopped the drilling because the temperature went up 60 degrees. Stuart doesn’t care. He wants to keep going.
Richard wants to know how Locke’s alive. Locke responds that Richard should probably be the one able to explain it to him.
Locke intends to “deal with” the rest of the passengers from the flight that brought him there.
Lapidus is waking up from having been smacked in the face. He wants to know what’s in the box, so they agree to open it. So what is in the box?
Jacob also pays a visit to a young James Ford, who’s in the process of writing a letter to Mr. Sawyer after his parents are dead.
Sawyer would like to stick around, but the blonde’s not going to let him. Juliet beats up one of the guys, and then she frees herself and the others. They make the captain go back to the surface at gunpoint. He’s instructed to proceed on course once they’re gone, and he doesn’t have to worry about Horace contacting him because he now no longer has communications ability.
Richard asks Jack if he knows Locke, and he says that he does know him and not to give up on him.
Speaking of Richard, he’s also leading John Locke to Jacob. Locke wants to know why Ben didn’t tell Richard about his plans for Jacob (the part about killing him dead). Ben’s playing nice because his dead daughter told him to do everything he says. Well, that’s good news then. Locke’s not going to kill Jacob. Ben is. Now he doesn’t have to convince him.
Sayid also gets a visit from Jacob, though he’s not as young as the others were. Just then, Nadia’s struck by a car.
Richard has decided he’s gone as far with the boys as he wants. He strikes Eloise to knock her out and tells them they’re on their own. They enter a house and hear the place is under alert, so they dress up as members of the Dharma Initiative to try to hide in plain sight. That works for about 10 seconds before Roger shoots Sayid. Jin and Hurley show up in their VW to drive them off.
Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet arrive on shore, and they’re greeted by Vincent. Then Bernard and Rose. They’ve just been living there in the jungle for the past few years, and they didn’t want to be found. They don’t seem overly concerned about this whole being blown to bits issue the others are trying to prevent, but they do give them directions to the barracks.
The group of people Frank’s walking with, who say they’re the good guys, have found the cabin.
Jacob’s next stop is to a bandaged up woman named Ilana, who agrees to help him. She’s the woman leading Frank’s group.
Ilana enters the cabin, but he’s not there and hasn’t been for a long time. Someone else has been using the cabin, so they’re going to burn it down. Yeah, set fire to a place in the middle of the jungle.
Jacob finds John Locke lying on the ground, then he touches him and he’s okay.
Locke and his group have returned to their old camp, where they’ll be resting for the night. Ben acknowledges that he was just pretending the day they first supposedly met Jacob. He didn’t want him to know he’d never seen Jacob, so he lied. That’s what he does. Considering Ben got cancer, watched his daughter get shot, and then got banished from the island, Locke’s pretty sure he may well actually want to kill Jacob.
Sun finds the baby’s crib and Charlie’s ring, which makes her think about Jin. They, too, have met Jacob, on their wedding day.
Sayid, who’s busy bleeding, wants to modify the bomb and be there at the moment of the incident. They’ve got a flat tire, though, thanks to the trouble they’ve run into: Sawyer with a gun.
