Lost Season 6 Episode 9 was the tale of Richard, bringing us back over 100 years to when he first arrived on the island. Upon arrival, he sided with Jacob over the black smoke, but now he’s changed his mind. Until Hurley told him that his wife said he has to stop the man in black, or otherwise they’re all going to hell.
Locke says that the only way they can leave the island is if all the uncrossed off names go together.
At the airport, Jin is told that they’re going to be “confiscating” his $25,000. He doesn’t ask any questions. He just does what Sun’s father tells him to do.
When they arrive at the hotel, Jin wants a second room. He knows enough English to say they’re not married.
Before Locke goes off on an errand, Sayid says he doesn’t feel anything. Anger, happiness, pain, all gone.
Jin takes Locke’s departure as his cue to bail. He’s going to get away from Locke and go find his wife. Well, he would, if he weren’t just tasered, along with everybody else. Lucky him, he’s the one they want.
Ilana’s plan is to wait until Richard comes back. Ben is skeptical about this plan, seeing as Richard went storming off into the jungle after he told them they were all in hell and he didn’t know what to do.
Deciding that Jin’s not just there on business and Sun’s not there just for shopping, they decide to get busy in her hotel room.
Locke has managed to find Sun with a message that he’s found her husband, but she doesn’t believe him, so she runs away. A chase through the jungle ensues. Sun loses, crashing into a tree.
Back on the mainland, Sun’s got an idea. They should run away together.
Later, Sun is awakened by Ben. As for Locke, he returns to find a bunch of people lying on the ground. Where is Jin? He’s locked up in a creepy looking room. Room 23. It’s where the Dharma Initiative was doing experiments on subliminal messages. There are some maps. Whoever signed them should be able to help. Looks like that would be Jin.
Claire’s name is not on the wall. Neither is Kate’s. Regardless, Locke wants both of them. Kate could be of assistance rounding up the others. Once she does, whatever happens happens.
Sun and Jin are busted partially clothed by her father’s contact, but he doesn’t really care about that. He just wants his money.
Having hit her head, Sun has forgotten how to speak an entire language, making her capable of only communicating in Korean now.
Richard returns with Hurley, instructing the others to pack their bags and get ready to leave. They’re going to destroy the plane so that Locke can’t get on it. Of course, if they destroy that plane, that means the rest of them won’t be able to get off the island, which does not sit well with the woman screaming in Korean.
Walking on the beach, Locke is shot at. I don’t think that’s going to work. He goes peacefully to meet Widmore, who denies having kidnapped Jin. A wise man once said that war is coming to the island. It just got there.
Sun had intended to get the money out of her bank account so that she could pay off her father’s associate. But when she arrives at the bank, her account is closed and empty. Her father had the funds transferred to one of his accounts. As for Jin, this would explain why he was tied up and in a refrigerator. It seems that $25k was this guy’s fee for killing him for not keeping his hands off the boss’s daughter.
Jin is handed a camera. It’s a picture of his daughter, who he’s never seen before. Widmore’s warning is that everything and everyone would cease to exist if that John Locke thing gets off the island. It’s time for him to see the package. It’s not a what. It’s a who.
The shooting outside the door catches us up to where we were before. Sayid opens up the door to discover Jin. He hands him a razor to free himself and wishes him luck. When Sun returns, we see a bunch of people on the ground, mostly dead. The guy with her might consider looking behind him and seeing Jin with a gun. In the shootout, Sun gets hit as well. And that news she wanted to tell him before they were interrupted in the room: she’s pregnant.
Jack has a theory. Just because Sun can’t speak English doesn’t mean she can’t write it. This theory is correct, but she’s gonna run out of paper pretty fast.
If Widmore didn’t blow Locke right out of the water, Saywer thinks they’re screwed. That makes him walking back to join them bad news then.
Who’s the package? That would apparently be Desmond.
