Category: lost season 6

Lost Season 5 Episode 12 was the story of Ben (a lot of Bens). It all led up to him being judged for his daughter’s death and being told by “the monster” to do whatever John Locke tells him to do.

Now it’s Miles’ turn, starting off when he was a little boy. He could already see dead people.

Sawyer wants Miles to accidentally erase security tapes from the feeds that are watching him and Kate. If anyone asks, he’s looking for an escaped hostile, his pal Sayid.

Since Lafleur’s off the grid, Miles will have to be brought into the circle. Horace instructs him to go to hostile territory and exchange something with Radzinsky, without asking questions. When he arrives, he sees a body. The guy has a bullet hole in his head. He fell into a ditch. Once alone with the dead guy, he can ask him what really happened.

Miles goes to see his mom on her deathbed. Why is he that way? What about his father? He’s dead. His body is somewhere he could never go.

Miles will be bringing the package (aka the corpse) out to Dr. Chang at the Orchid. Hurley wants to go for a ride.

Roger arrives to find that his son Ben has disappeared.

On the ride over, Hurley smells something not quite right. Yeah, it’s probably the dead guy in the back of the van. Miles tells the story of Alvarez, who had a filling yanked out of his mouth and right through his head. Then he was dead. Naturally, Hurley assumes this must mean that Miles can talk to dead people.

Naomi meets Miles while he’s on a gig. Her employer is interested in retaining his services.

Miles has managed to locate his father after all. It’s Dr. Chang.

Naomi knows that, for the right price, this is exactly his thing. The dead body leads him to find out about empty graves and a purchase order for an old airplane. She’ll be heading to an island, and she wants Miles to go with her. He’ll pass… until he finds out the fee is $1.6 million.

Roger’s beginning to think Kate has something to do with all this, since she said that his son is going to be okay.

Dr. Chang can’t tell anybody what he does there. Not even his wife or his son, who’s only three months old and happens to also be named Miles.

They go somewhere, and Hurley knows what’s going on. They’re building the hatch. The one that crashed the plane.

Back on the mainland, Bram pays Miles a visit and wants to talk him out of working for Charles Widmore. He’ll not go. If they pay him. They won’t be paying him, though, and they won’t give him a new fish taco either.

Hurley says that perhaps now is an opportunity for Miles to get to know his father. Miles doesn’t want to hang out with his dad. And stuff. As for Hurley, he’s writing Empire Strikes Back. He’ll be sending it to George Lucas.

For all their trying to cover their tracks, it seems Sawyer was seen taking the kid anyway. Looks like now they’ll need to be holding a hostage.

Hurley says that, if Miles doesn’t just communicate with his father, he’ll end up like Luke Skywalker, destroying a deathstar and being overrun by ewoks.

Miles sees that his dad did, indeed, spend some time with him. At least he tried when he was three months old anyway.

Then he and his dad head to the docks, reuniting him with Faraday.

It was Kate’s turn to flash forward in Lost Season 5 Episode 11, and we found out she gave Aaron to his grandmother. Meanwhile, in the present day, she and Sawyer were handing little Ben over to the others in an effort to save his life.

Richard has saved Ben’s life as promised (saw that one coming). When he wakes up, he wants to stay, which is fine since they wanted to keep him there anyway. It’s then that he meets Charles Widmore.

Big Ben wakes up to see John Locke. Ben had been trying to return to the island to be judged by the monster.

Ben feels like someone hit him with an oar, but he’ll live. He tells one of the other survivors, Cesar, he doesn’t really remember John from the plane. It doesn’t appear he killed him either because he’s like alive and stuff.

Less little Ben has met Rousseau, and he grabs Alex as a baby, warning Danielle not to come looking for the child.

This timeline is even more wonky than normal. Locke is now confronting Ben about killing him. It was the only way to get him back to the island. He stopped him from killing himself to get the information from him, then from there, once he had the information, he killed him. The plan worked. It got everybody back to the island. Locke’s decided to help Ben do what he said he was on his way to do: be judged. If he’s really been acting in the best interest of the island, the monster should understand.

Back on the island, Locke’s trying to take a boat over to the main island. Cesar believes he’s the boss of them, and he doesn’t want him to take a boat. Locke is not intimidated, and Ben’s got Cesar’s gun, which he uses to make his point that they’re the ones in charge. Anybody else got a problem with them taking a boat? Shooting Cesar counts as his apology to John for that whole killing him to death thing.

They’re going to his old house. That’s the only place he can summon the monster. He’ll either be forgiven… or he won’t. John believes that Ben actually wants to be judged for killing his daughter.

Speaking of daughters, he’s brought his new baby to Charles Widmore, informing him he took the baby instead of exterminating Rousseau. Charles wants him to kill the kid, too. If he wants her dead, he’ll have to do it himself.

When John and Ben arrive at his house, he sees a light go on in Alex’s room. It’s Sun and Lapidus. They’ve found out that their friends were in the Dharma Initiative. They got the photo from some crazy old man named Christian, who told them they had to go in the house and wait for John Locke. Despite the fact that he’s dead, they might want to look outside and see him standing there.

Lapidus is not comforted by the fact that everybody else is 30 years ago, and their only hope rests with a dead guy and the guy who killed him. Locke says he’s got some ideas how to find Jin, which obviously is the option Sun will take. Lapidus, however, will be heading back to the plane and doing his own thing.

Before they find Jin, though, Ben has something to do first. Call forth the monster.

Alex has growed up a bit and is a toddler. Ben has come to gloat to Widmore, who is being escorted off the island. Widmore leaves with a warning. The island wants Alex dead, and they haven’t seen the last of each other.

Ben’s seen the island heal the sick before, but he’s never seen it bring anyone back from the dead.

John is tired of waiting for the monster, and unlike Ben, he knows how to find it.

Ben places a call to Charles to tell him he’s going back to the island. He just has to kill Charles’ daughter first.

John brings Sun and Ben to the temple. They’re going under it. Before Ben climbs in the ground, he asks Sun to tell Desmond he’s sorry if she ever gets off the island. He’ll know for what.

Flashback to the day he made the call. When he arrives to shoot Penny, he shoots Desmond instead. When Ben sees their son, it makes him pause, and then Desmond gets back up and attacks him.

Lapidus gets back to the plane, where he’s told that Elana and some others believe they’re in charge, and they’ve got the guns to prove it. She wants to know what lies in the shadow of the statue. After they tie him up, he’ll be going with them, wherever they’re going.

Ben acknowledges that Alex’s death was his fault, and now he has to answer for that. He will take it from here. If he lives, he’ll meet John outside. When he falls through the floor, he sees some carvings on the ground, then his torch goes out and the monster appears. Then he flashes back to Alex’s life and death. When the flash is done, Alex is standing behind him. She’s got a warning for him. If he kills John Locke (again) or doesn’t listen to his every order, he will be hunted down.

Lost Season 5 Episode 10 was the story about Sayid, starting with him killing a chicken as a boy and ending with him killing little Ben.

Jin’s recovering after being attacked, and he sees Ben lying on the ground. Not so dead after all, but he needs help.

Horace feels that somebody helped Sayid, and it must have been an inside job.

Roger Linus introduces himself to Kate, whose turn it is tonight to be the flashback character.

Not going back very far, though. She’s with Aaron, and she shows up at Cassidy’s house just after returning from being rescued. Sawyer sent her. He asked her to go give her an envelope full of money to take care of his daughter Clementine. She’s apparently not happy to be receiving a bunch of money, and all she has for Kate is sympathy because he ditched her the same way.

Horace goes to Sayid’s cell and finds janitor’s keys. They belong to either Roger, Willie, or Jack.

Juliet’s operating on Ben. He needs a surgeon. Speaking of surgeons, Jack is free to leave whenever he wants. He’ll just be shot in the leg. Kate and Hurley are also being held hostage. As for Hurley, he fears that little Ben’s death means that he’ll never get back to the island because there would be no big Ben (no relation to the clock), and, therefore, they don’t exist. He’s checking out his hand to see if it starts to disappear like Michael J. Fox’s. Miles says that what happened happened, so Ben won’t die, and they all still exist.

Sawyer asks Jack for his help. Jack refuses. If he dies, he dies. Jack already saved Benjamin Linus. He doesn’t need to do it again. Kate doesn’t like the new Jack, but he responds that she didn’t like the old him either.

Roger knows what happened. Lafleur asked him about the keys, and he doesn’t ask any questions he doesn’t know the answer to. Ben must have stolen his keys.

Hurley’s still trying to figure out what’s happening. All this already happened. And it’s happening right now, too. Miles’ explanation isn’t helping him any. It isn’t helping me any either. To prove a point, Miles asks Hurley to shoot him, but Hurley wants to just keep confusing himself instead. Why wouldn’t Ben remember getting shot by Sayid as a kid?

Having run out of options, Juliet has an idea. Maybe there’s something they can do: the others.

Kate insists on handling the voyage to the others herself. Juliet will rat her out but will buy her as much time as possible.

Back to Kate calling Jack and the others insane for wanting to go back to the island. When she’s in the store shopping with Aaron, he disappears when she gets a phone call, but the scare is short lived when she sees him walking with some woman, who says she was going to make an announcement.

Ben wants Kate to tell his dad he’s sorry he stole his keys. Then Sawyer approaches. He’s not there to stop her, though. He’s there to help.

Kate goes back to Cassidy to tell her everyone else is going back to the island. As scared as she was having lost Aaron in the store, all she could think was it’s about time. She’s been expecting him to be taken.

Juliet told Sawyer it’s wrong to let a kid die, and with that in mind, he’s helping Kate get Ben to the others.

Jack tells Juliet he came back because he was supposed to. He’s just not sure why.

Sawyer asks about his daughter, which leads to Cassidy’s theory about why Sawyer jumped off the chopper. He didn’t think he was any more fit to be her boyfriend than he is to be that girl’s father. Seems to be doing alright with Juliet, though.

Some people with guns stop Sawyer and Kate. They’re violating the truce, but they don’t really care. The gun toters will take them to Richard Alpert now.

Kate pays a visit to Claire’s mom. Aaron’s her grandson, and Claire’s alive. She didn’t tell the truth because she needed him, but she has now told Aaron she will be leaving him with his grandmother when she returns to the island.

Richard knows who Ben is, and he can save his life. However, if he takes him, he’s never going to be the same again, his innocence will be gone, and he’ll always be one of the others.

Ben awakens to see John Locke. Welcome back to the land of the living.

Having just arrived on the island in Lost Season 5 Episode 9, Kate, Jack, and Hurley agreed to play Sawyer’s game, at least for now. Sayid’s also on the island, and he meets up with little Ben.

Little Sayid’s brother is being instructed by his dad to kill a chicken. He doesn’t want to kill a chicken, though. Sayid, however, has no problem taking out the chicken.

Ben wants to feed the hostile, Sayid. Did Richard send him? He’s his leader, right? Ben ran away into the jungle before and found Richard. He’s been patient since then looking for a way out. If Sayid’s patient, too, maybe they can work together.

Another flashback of Sayid killing, this time a human. The man behind his murdering ways: Ben. That marks the last of Widmore’s men, so now they can part ways.

Horace goes into Sayid’s cell trying to find out what he was doing in the jungle. Either they’re in some kind of disagreement, which means he can help him, or he’s a spy. He’ll give him an hour to think about it.

Juliet fears that this whole playing house bit they’ve got going on is over now.

Worried that the prisoner won’t talk, Horace wants to have Oldham do his thing. Sawyer volunteers to talk to him instead. By talk, he apparently means hit him and pretend he’s confessed. If he doesn’t cooperate, he’s on his own. So he’s on his own then.

Kate thinks she can get something out of Juliet even though Sawyer’s not talking, but Hurley has this crazy idea that they’re together. Who couldn’t see that coming?

Ben brings another sandwich to Sayid. This angers the janitor, which is apparently a big deal.

Back to flashback Sayid, Ben’s come to meet up with him to tell him that John Locke is dead. He’s a killer, although he says he doesn’t like it.

Since Sayid’s still not talking, he’ll be going to Oldham now. Who’s that man? “He’s our you.”

Now it’s a flashback we’ve all seen. Kate calls everybody crazy, and Sayid flees the scene, though Sun wants to go with Ben to meet Eloise. Sayid’s fled to a bar, where he meets a girl who likes sad men. This oughta be a real hoot then. He hopes to change his ways, rather than continuing his killing.

Sayid is answering Oldham’s questions, and he’s been given some truth serum. He tells them his real name, the fact that he’s not a hostile, and that he got there via plane. Having been there for 100 days already, he knows about all the stations, including the unbuilt one. Oh, and they’re all going to die. He knows this because he is from the future. They fear that they’ve driven this man insane. Nonetheless, he pretty much needs to be killed. By a unanimous vote, the tribe has spoken.

The girl at the bar actually is a professional, hired to bring him to Guam. The family of the guy he killed on the golf course wants him dead.

Sawyer offers to let Sayid punch him and steal his keys. Sayid would be fine with Radzinsky’s idea of dying, though, so he’ll just stay put rather than trying to escape. He didn’t see the purpose of being on the island before now.

As Sawyer’s asking Kate why they came back, a flaming VW bus makes its way toward the houses, setting off a quickly spreading blaze. Three years with no burning buses, now this after just one day.

Ben will let Sayid out if he takes him with him. Yes, he will. That’s why he’s here.

The woman holding Sayid hostage doesn’t want to let him go. They’re taking that plane (that’s going to crash) whether he likes it or not. Is she working for that monster Ben?

Sayid brings Ben through the woods as agreed. Jin spots them, and Sayid pretends Sawyer let him out. Since Jin has to clear this with Sawyer before letting them go, he’ll have to be knocked out. He tells little Ben he was right about him. He is a killer. So he shoots Ben. Didn’t see that one coming.

Following in the tradition of the previous seasons, ABC is asking viewers to nickname the final cliffhanger moment of the season 5 finale. Prior nicknames include “Bagel” (Walt being abducted), “Challah” (Penny’s team finding the island), “The Rattlesnake in the Mailbox” (Jack’s flash forward), and “Frozen Donkey Wheel” (Ben moving the island).

Suggestions can be submitted to the producers on ABC’s website, and a choice will be made next week which name to use.

Lost Season 5 Episode 8 was all about James Lafleur, the identity Sawyer assumed while waiting for the others to return. During that time, he managed to fall in love with the only available female, Juliet, and after waiting a few years, Jack, Hurley, and the woman Sawyer was completely over (Kate) arrived back on the island.

The co-pilot recognizes Hurley. He tells his pilot, Frank, as if it’s news to him. Might wanna fasten your seatbelt. Despite the less than ideal conditions, they’ve managed to land the plane, but not without some bloodshed. The co-pilot has a branch through himself and looks on the not living side. Frank, however, wakes up. The passengers appear to be okay as well, although Jack, Hurley, and Kate are missing. They’re gone. How would Ben know where?

30 years earlier, Sawyer and Jin are meeting up with the group of old friends. They’re in the Dharma Initiative, and, oh, it’s 1977. As for Jin, his English is awesome. In addition to them, Juliet’s still there, ready to make up some sort of love rhombus.

Jin needs to know if a plane landed on the island. The guy at the station insists it didn’t, but maybe he should check with the other stations.

For some reason, Sun is with the group of survivors rather than her former fellow castaways, as is Ben. He goes wandering off on his own, so she follows him. He’s going back to their island. Does she want to come?

Horace and Amy have settled on a name. They’re going to name him Ethan.

Sawyer wants the others to pretend they were on the incoming sub and act like new recruits.

Jin has not managed to find any planes. However, they do see that a motion sensor was tripped by what they believe to be a hostile. It’s Sayid.

What if they start asking questions Hugo can’t answer like… who was President in 1977?

Sun’s got two choices. Either get in the outrigger and help Ben row, or stay behind. She will be going back to the main island with him because she has to trust him, whether she should or not. Or so she says until he turns his back and she knocks him upside the head with an oar.

Jack is greeted by Peter Chang, the guy from all the films. His file isn’t there. Could they be any more disorganized on the other side? He has been assigned to the shed as a workman. Based on his aptitude test, he’ll be doing janitorial work.

Kate’s name isn’t on the list or the sub manifest. Good thing Juliet is there with a forged new list.

The guy watching Sayid wants to shoot first and ask questions never, but Sawyer would like to talk to him first. He’s going to be taking him back to the barracks.

Sun and Frank have gone to the island as Ben suggested before she whacked him in the head. When they arrive, they find Christian, who wants them to follow him. They have a bit of a journey ahead of them.

Sayid can hang out in the prison cell until they can figure out what to do with him.

Jack goes looking for Sawyer, and he sees Juliet. He’s at the right house. Now Sawyer’s the boss, and he will do things his way, while Jack listens like a good soldier.

Sayid’s been brought a sandwich by little Ben.

Lost Season 5 Episode 7 was all about Jeremy Bentham (aka John Locke), who ultimately ended up dying at Ben’s hands after mentioning the name Eloise.

Wherever the others are is before the well was ever built. Apparently way before. They are greeted by the mother of all flashes, and the well is back. They just can’t get down it since it’s filled in. Their headaches are gone, and their noses aren’t bleeding. Maybe it’s over. Maybe John did it. Now they’ll wait for John to come back, for as long as it takes.

Three years later, some Dharma members are having an argument, when they spot a hostile on the monitors. This apparent hostile (actually their leader), Horace, has dynamite. They wake up Mr. Lafleur, who bears a striking resemblance to Sawyer.

Horace is wasted, and Lafleur drags him back home. They had a fight about Paul, but before Amy can get any more out, the baby is coming.

Back to three years earlier. They return to Daniel, who’s mourning Charlotte’s death and disappearance. Whenever they are now, that’s where they’re stuck.

Sawyer wants to go back to the beach, and Juliet supports this plan. Miles wants a plan that’s not the same as every other plan. Juliet agrees it’s a stupid idea, but any plan is better than no plan. They don’t get very far before they hear shots and screaming. Dan says it doesn’t matter what they do because whatever happened happened, but Sawyer goes over there anyway. Juliet shoots one of the guys when he draws his weapon on them. Saywer shoots the second. Based on the Dharma jumpsuits, they believe they’re in the 70s or 80s. Before they leave, they have to bury the dead guys and then carry Amy’s husband Paul back. It’s a good thing Juliet knows they’ve got a sonic fence, or Dan’s brain would be fried by Amy willingly letting him walk through it. She steps through just fine (thanks to the ear plugs), but they all collapse.

Back in the future, Amy is in trouble and needs Caesarean. Juliet, who has never had luck delivering a baby on this island, reluctantly agrees to deliver the baby. Everyone turns out okay.

Horace wants to know who the hell Sawyer is. His name is James Lafleur. They call him Jim. He pretends they washed up on a boat. Horace tells them to take a submarine off the island the next morning. He’s not Dharma material.

An alarm sounds, and everybody rushes inside. Richard’s there. The fence won’t keep him out. Their truce, which is now broken, is what kept him out. He wants to know where his two men are. Sawyer wants to go outside and see if he can talk to him, since Horace doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere. He tells the truth. Then he asks about the hydrogen bomb and John Locke. Regardless of who he is, two of Richard’s people are still dead. He offers up Paul’s body.

Horace agrees to let Sawyer stay for another two weeks and look for the rest of his clue. Juliet, however, has been trying to get off the island for three years, and she plans to leave, even if whatever it is she thinks she’s going back to doesn’t exist yet. All Sawyer wants is two weeks, so he’s not stuck with the mad scientist, Mr. I speak to dead people, and the guy who barely speaks English. She agrees.

Three years later, they’re still around, and Sawyer and Juliet have hooked up. Like they had another option.

Horace is a daddy now. It’s a boy. So why’s he drinking and blowing up trees instead of being with his new son? They got into a fight over a necklace in Amy’s drawer. He doesn’t believe she’s over him. Is three years really long enough to get over someone? Sawyer can barely remember what Kate looks like, or so he’s convinced himself.

Jin’s finally found something. Jack, Hurley, and of course the woman Sawyer’s gotten over step out of the VW bus.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Lost Season 5 Episode 9 Namaste, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on ABC.

Those who left the island (minus Aaron) got onboard Flight 316 to head back to the island in Lost Season 5 Episode 6.

A group of people have found someone, a man wearing a suit. It’s John Locke. He wants to see the passenger list of the plane that brought them there. Nobody remembers him being on the plane, but he doesn’t remember being on it either. What he does remember is that he died and that the suit is what he was going to be buried in.

Now that that’s done with, it’s time for him to wake up in Tunisia. A truck drives up to him, and some men grab him to take him to a hospital. The doctors reset his leg. When he wakes up, he’s greeted by somebody he doesn’t know, who met him when he was 17. It’s Charles Widmore. Locke looks exactly the same since it’s only been 4 days, but Widmore’s an old man now. Widmore was the leader of the others, who protected the island peacefully until he was exiled by Ben. He wants him to bring the ones who left back. Either he gets back to the island in time for the coming war, or the wrong side will win.

Jeremy Bentham was a British philosopher. Now he’s Locke’s new identity. Charles wants Locke to believe that he’s special and should be the one in charge, which is why he sent the boat with all the C4 to get rid of Ben. He denies that the only way is for Locke to die. His driver will take him to the airport where he will head for Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

Sayid’s there when he arrives. He doesn’t want to go back and wants to know who’s manipulating John (considering Sayid was manipulated by Ben for two years). Because he left the island, he was able to spend the best 9 months of his life with the woman he loved.

Then it’s off to New York, where he sees Walt, who’s not surprised to see him. He says he just wanted to make sure he was okay. Locke’s not worried. If he convinces one, the rest will follow. Ben’s there as well, watching in the shadows.

Next stop Santa Rosa, CA to visit Hurley, who greets him by asking him about how he didn’t make it. He may be in a wheelchair, but he’s not dead. Yet. He gets a second opinion to make sure he’s talking to a dude in a wheelchair. Hugo’s paranoid by the sight of the driver, who he thinks is evil, abruptly ending their conversation.

Locke remembers. His driver was an orderly in the hospital, and he’s the one who convinced him to go on that walkabout, which led him to the plane crash and the island. He helps people get to where they need to.

Kate refuses to return to the island, regardless of the consequences. After their discussion about whether he’s loved anyone, he insists he needs to get to Helen. So they go to a graveyard in Santa Monica. She’s where she’s supposed to be, but he’s supposed to be back on the island.

Thanks to a stray bullet, Locke is forced to hop in the driver’s seat and flee. After the ensuing car wreck, he wakes up in a hospital again, this time with Jack by his side, since he was brought into his hospital. Perhaps he’ll go back with him. Locke’s theory is that someone was trying to kill him to prevent him from succeeding. Jack calls him delusional and walks out. At least he tries to walk out until he’s told his father said hello. By process of elimination, it must be Jack’s father anyway. Still, Jack just wants to be left alone.

That night, John decides he’s going to die one way or another. As he’s about to hang himself, there’s a knock on the door. It’s Ben. He has a man watching everybody to keep them safe. He was the one who shot the driver, and he says that Widmore’s just a user. He tells him that Jack booked a plane ticket to Sydney, and if he got Jack, he can get the rest of them as well. John can’t die because he’s got too much work to do.

Locke knows where to go. They have to see Eloise. Ben knows her. With that, having just talked Locke out of killing himself, he turns it into a homicide instead, which he later rigs to look like a suicide.

Caesar, who seems to be the leader of the group of people that found Locke at the beginning of the episode, wants to know how the big guy with curly hair disappeared before his eyes. John wants some help finding his friends and thinks he knows how he got there. The pilot took the passenger list when he took off, but everybody is accounted for, except for the people who got hurt. That would include the man who killed him.
