Desmond set all the pieces moving in the right direction in Lost Season 6 Episode 16. Meanwhile, Jack was given Jacob’s job to protect the light, which the black smoke wants to put out.

Jack’s “cargo” (aka his father’s body) has arrived from the airline.

Sawyer is off to go get Desmond out of the well, while the others head to the heart of the island.

Hurley goes to round up the next person on his list, the drunken rock star Charlie. If he won’t come willingly, a tranquilizer dart should do the trick.

At the well, James does not find Desmond, but he does find Locke and Ben. After saying they’re not candidates any more, Sawyer takes off with Ben’s gun.

Desmond wakes up on the ground, greeted by golden retriever Vincent and Rose and her husband Bernard. Locke is not far behind. In order to spare them, Desmond agrees to do whatever Locke wants. He assumes they’re going to a place with a very bright light.

Miles has located Richard, who was thrown into the jungle when he thought it would be a good idea to talk to the black smoke.

Officer Miles just saw Sayid, which is weird considering that Sawyer just sent him to county.

Sun is in the hospital, where she’s being seen by Juliet. During the ultrasound, Sun remembers everything. Oh, and the baby’s healthy.

Miles welcomes Richard to the club. He got his first grey hair. While they’re rowing, they run over a body in the water, then they hear screams for help a ways away. It’s Frank.

Everybody’s going to the same place, so Jack wants to go with Locke because he wants to kill him. How he’s going to do that is a surprise, even to Jack. After they walk for a while, Locke suggests that it should just be himself, Jack, and Desmond from that point forward. They tie Desmond up to lower him to the light, where he hopes to go to some happy place where the plane never crashed.

Sayid and Hugo see Shannon getting fake mugged by her brother Boone, and Sayid steps in to save her. They immediately know who each other is.

Claire’s back, and she’s got a gun. She thinks Miles and Richard were sent there to kill her by Locke. They say they just want to go home, but she’s not interested.

Now that Desmond’s been lowered to the light, the question is whether Locke or Jack is right.

We watched the story of Jacob and his brother the man in black in Lost Season 6 Episode 15, which ended with the deaths of Jacob’s mother and brother, with Jacob becoming the protector of the light.

At breakfast, Jack gets a call from the airline. They’ve located his “missing cargo.” It turns out that on the other line is really Desmond.

Kate’s getting patched up by the doc after the bullet went straight through her. Her mind is on killing Locke.

Ben tries to make a citizen’s arrest on Desmond. That goes about as well as can be expected.

Miles, Richard, and Ben come across the spot where Alex’s body is buried. They head inside the house and open the safe to obtain enough explosives to blow the plane to hell. It’s there they meet up with Widmore. He already rigged the plane with explosives.

During Ben’s beating, Desmond told him that he was looking to get Locke to let go, whatever that may mean to him. Desmond walks into the jail to confess to officer Sawyer. Inside his cell, he meets Sayid and Kate.

Jack and his crew are hunting for Desmond. During their walk, Sawyer blames himself for the death of the others. Meanwhile, Hurley is busy seeing invisible blonde boys. Little Jacob wants the ashes, and when Hugo catches up to him, he runs into less little Jacob. His ashes are in the fire. If it burns out, he’ll never see him again.

Locke would like Ben to kill some people for him. Does Ben know where he would find Charles Widmore, the man who owns the outrigger at the dock? Easy. He’s hiding in his closet.

Alex sees the beaten up Ben hobbling along. She and her mom Danielle invite him over for dinner. Alex’s father died when she was two, which is probably why she’s so attached to Ben.

Locke slashes Zoe’s throat because Widmore told her not to talk to him. First thing he plans to do when he gets off the island is to kill Penny… unless Charles tells him what he’s doing there. He brought Desmond back due to his resistance to electromagnetism. This was a measure of last resort. He whispers something more to Locke. Then Ben kills him dead because he doesn’t get to save his daughter, but he already said what was needed anyway.

Jack, Kate, and Sawyer can now see Jacob, too. He’s very sorry for the deaths of Sun, Jin, and Sayid. What did they die for?

Locke goes to see Jack because he’s wondering what all these too coincidental coincidences are about. Maybe this is happening for a reason. He thinks he’s ready to get out of this chair.

Jacob tells his story. His last story. He brought all of them to the island because he made a mistake. They call that mistake the monster. One of them will have to replace Jacob. None of them were plucked out of a happy existence. Rather, they were all flawed, alone, and looking for something they couldn’t find out there. Kate’s name was crossed off the wall because she became a mother, although the job is hers if she wants it, seeing as it was just chalk. Whoever gets the responsibility will have to do what Jacob couldn’t, killing the monster if that’s at all possible. They can choose who gets to do this. If nobody agrees, this all ends very badly. Jack stands up.

The prisoners are heading to county. I’d guess one of them knows how to break free. That would be Desmond. In return for freedom, Sayid and Kate promise to do something for him. With that arranged, Hugo drives up with the money to bribe the driver Anna Lucia.

Locke and Ben arrive at the well, where Locke realizes that Desmond is not dead. Desmond was a fail safe, one final way to make sure he never leaves, even if all the candidates die. When he finds Desmond, he’ll help him do the one thing he was never able to do himself. Destroy the island.
