Lost Season 5 left off with Juliet setting off a hydrogen bomb. The theory was that, if they do that, the flight lands as scheduled.
We start off the final season back on the plane, which hits turbulence. After some bumps, the captain apologizes for the rough ride and promises things will go smoothly from then on.
When Bernard comes back from the bathroom, Jack heads and checks out a cut he’s got on his neck. Upon returning, he bumps into Desmond. Do they know each other?
Kate wakes up in not quite as a happy a place. She’s up a tree in the jungle. When she climbs down, she runs into Miles, and he, too, is having trouble hearing. She says they’re back. If only he knew what she was talking about. Then they discover Jack and Sawyer on the ground at the hatch. Sawyer’s none too pleased that Jack was wrong and Juliet’s dead.
Back on the plane, everybody’s just having a normal flight. Kate’s still a prisoner. Hurley’s still the luckiest guy alive.
Hurley, Sayid, and Sylar wake up at the van. Sayid’s not doing so well and needs a doctor. Meanwhile, they hear a voice from under the rubble. Juliet’s not so dead after all.
Jin continues to control his wife Sun. Locke is sitting on the plane next to Boone, who we haven’t seen in a while. I hear he’s a vampire now. Locke’s convinced they could survive a crash in the water.
Having killed Jacob, Ben keeps starting at the fire. Why didn’t he fight back? Outside, Sun and Frank are with Richard, whose people say they’re the good guys. At Locke’s request, Ben goes outside to get Richard to come talk to John… who he finds is the body on the ground.
Hurley meets Jacob, the guy who gave him the ticket that landed him on that island. He’s also the guy who happened to die an hour ago. Never mind that, though. Sayid, who’s dying on the ground, needs to be saved by being brought to the temple.
The flight attendant calls for a doctor. Charlie went into the bathroom half an hour ago and is not responding, and they can’t get the door unlocked. Perhaps Sayid can be of assistance by kicking the door down. Charlie’s not breathing, but Jack pulls out a bag of heroine that was stuck in his throat and saves him.
After clearing the debris, Sawyer climbs down to find Juliet, who’s not dead but knows that the plan didn’t work.
Ben’s dragged back inside at gunpoint. Locke is in there as promised, but he breaks the news that Jacob is dead. So now they want to kill him. That cloud of black smoke coming toward them isn’t going to allow that to happen. After the guys are all taken care of, Locke apologizes to Ben for having had to see him like that.
Juliet tells Sawyer she needs to tell him something important, but that’s the last thing she says to him, for which he blames the doc.
Charlie, who’s now being escorted in handcuffs, is not happy to have been saved by Jack. He was supposed to die. As for Kate, she, too, is marched off the plane in cuffs. Locke, meanwhile, awaits assistance to be wheeled off the plane. For some, their little island paradise was not so bad.
