Sayid came back to life, so in Lost Season 6 Episode 3, the natural response to this was to try to kill him again.
Back in the real world, or what appears to be maybe possibly the real world, Locke is still handicapped.
On the island, however, he’s fully capable of doing as he pleases, such as catching Richard.
Returning to his desk job, his boss has discovered that he really didn’t go to a conference in Australia, so he’s fired.
John’s a candidate, or at least he was a candidate before his demise. Richard does not know what that’s all about. Seems Jacob has kept him in the dark.
Ben blames Locke for killing Jacob. I suppose that’s as reasonable an explanation as any.
Locke approaches a house with a record player blasting, and he finds a drunk Sawyer, who thought he was dead, mostly because he is. James doesn’t care whether he’s dead or whatever’s going on, as long as he’s got whiskey. He does notice a difference, though. This new Locke isn’t afraid. So who is he? He’s the person who can answer the most important question: why is he on this island?
Having just lost his job, Locke heads outside, where he’s unable to access his car because Hurley has parked too close to allow the ramp to lower. Well, that and the fact that he refuses to park in a handicapped spot. He’s new. He owns the company now. Perhaps he’s hiring then. Locke declines the offer to talk to his boss, but Hurley owns a temp agency, too.
Some kid is appearing at random throughout the jungle. Locke is the only one who can see him. Well, the drunk guy Sawyer can see him, too. After Locke chases him, he’s told that the rules say he can’t kill him. Richard’s got a warning for Sawyer: Locke wants everyone dead.
At the temp agency, Locke meets Rose, the supervisor there, who tells him he needs to be a little more realistic about his job prospects. He needs to get past his denial, like she did after she found out she had cancer.
The black smoke says he’s been trapped for a long time, but before he was trapped, he was a man.
Everybody who was on the beach will be heading to the temple, but first they must bury John Locke. Ben has positive things to say when remebering him. And he’s sorry he murdered him.
Locke has decided to give a call to Jack and take him up on his offer. Rather, he gives him a call and then hangs up, telling his fiancee Helen there are no miracles.
James climbs down a cliff in what he believes may be a suicide mission. Not far from it. So is this where the answers are? The writing is on the wall/ceiling.
Locke’s new job is at a school, where he meets Ben, a European history teacher.
Who wrote all that stuff, and why are the names crossed out? They’re not all crossed out. Jack, Sayid, Sun or Jin, John, and James’ names have not been crossed out (well, Locke’s name is crossed out now). They’re candidates to take over Jacob’s job to protect the island.
That leaves him with three choices. Do nothing and see if his name gets crossed out. Take over the job as protector, protecting the island from nothing. Or just go and get the hell off the island. He’ll take the third one.
