Ben was able to gather some of those who left the island in Lost Season 5 Episode 5. Sun, Jack, and Desmond were with him to meet Faraday’s mother Eloise, though Kate (and by extension Aaron), Sayid, and Hurley were not.

Jack wakes up on the island and hears yelling. He runs to see what’s going on and sees Hurley drowning, so he dives in to get him. Then he sees Kate and wakes her up.

To get to this point we have to go back to the meeting with Eloise. She takes them to the lamp post, which is how the Dharma Initiative found the island.

The room was built over a unique pocket of electromagnetic energy, which connects to other pockets around the world. The people who built the room were only interested in one: the island. They theorized, correctly, that the island was always moving, which explains why they were never rescued (I thought it was because they were 1000 miles off course, kept dying, and were kidnapped and/or tortured at random). The equations tell them where it is going to be at a certain point in time. The windows, while open, provide a route back. Their window closes in 36 hours.

Desmond doesn’t want to go back to the island. He’s just there to deliver a message that Eloise needs to help her son. She tells him that the island isn’t done with him yet. His advice to Jack is to ignore what she has to say, then he leaves.

Flight 316 from LA will go through the window, and they must all get on it. Eloise wants the others to assist in getting everybody back to the island. Otherwise, the result would be… unpredictable.

She’s got a special treat for Jack: John Locke’s suicide note. He’s going to help them get back as a substitute for Christian, which will require Jack to get something of his father’s and give it to Locke. This will produce conditions as close as possible to the original crash.

Jack gets a phone call, and then he goes to meet Ray, his grandfather. He tells him he might be going away for a while, then he finds some shoes in his room, which belonged to his father. Just what he needed.

Then he pays a visit to Kate, who’s decided to go with him to the island. She’ll go with him as long as he never asks her about Aaron again. Apparently, she wants to get back together with him, too.

When Jack went to get his father in Sydney, he didn’t have good shoes, so he just figured he’d put some old white tennis shoes on him because: who will look at his feet anyway?

Ben has been… sidetracked. Code for someone beating the hell out of him from the looks of it. Jack will have to go pick up Locke’s body. On arrival, Jack removes Locke’s shoes and replaces them with his father’s, which he considers crazy but is doing it anyway. He doesn’t care to read the suicide note.

Jack’s at the airport with Locke’s body and sees Kate, then Sun. Sayid walks by, and Hurley’s there, too. Hurley has bought all the seats. 78 of them anyway. He doesn’t want those other people on the plane. They can take the next one. Ben manages to get on the plane in time, showing up with a sling. Hurley doesn’t know why Ben’s there. Ben doesn’t know how Hurley’s there. As for the other people who did manage to get on the plane, Ben doesn’t care what happens to them. Kate tells Jack they’re just all on the same plane… they’re not together.

The captain comes on the radio. It’s a familiar voice, Frank J. Lapidus. Jack wants to talk to him. When he sees who’s on the plane, he realizes something. They’re not going to Guam.

Jack’s got the suicide note back because they found it stuffed in his pocket. He wants to read it now, he thinks. Ben tells him that Locke’s death was not his fault and leaves to give him some privacy. It’s brief: “I wish you had believed.”

Then the plane hits some turbulence. And now it’s time for the plane crash they all intentionally got themselves involved in. There’s a flash, and it’s back to the start of the episode.

So where’s the plane? Sun and Sayid? Ben?

They see the VW bus, and out steps Jin.

We found out that Jin is still alive in Lost Season 5 Episode 4.

Sun tells her daughter Ji Yeon she met a friend for her in America. When she gets off the phone, she pulls out a gun and points it at Ben, who tells her Jin’s not dead.

Jin’s back in 1988. The French people ask him about a radio tower on the island. He says yes, and that he knows where his camp is from there. On their way, one of their group disappears. Then Jin hears a monster. They found their missing partner. Falling from the sky. Now they may wish to listen to Jin that there’s a monster. The monster snags another victim, but they dash to save him. It’s too late since he’s missing a limb, but they don’t want to leave anyone behind. Jin insists that, at least the pregnant woman should not go dashing in. A flash follows, and Jin’s alone. He sees an arm that looks like it’s been there for quite some time on the ground. Upon arrival at camp, he sees some remnants of it but no living people. There are a couple dead bodies, however. Then he finds Danielle holding a gun on Robert, the guy she was with. Robert begs her not to shoot him, then pulls out a gun on her. Fortunately, his gun has no bullets, giving her the chance to get rid of him before he gets rid of her. Jin is forced to run away when she start shooting at him. As he’s running, there’s another flash. Now another person is holding a gun at him. This time it’s Sawyer.

Jin wants somebody to translate what’s going on. Miles can’t since he’s from Encino, but Jin knows Charlotte can. He wants to know how he’s sure his wife is off the island. Locke says he’s sure, but it won’t matter if they don’t make it to the Orchid. They need to bring Sun back because she never should have left.

Ben wants to take Sun to someone in LA to get proof that Jin is alive. It’s the same person who’s going to take them back to the island. Kate and Sayid aren’t pleased by this news and run away. Ben asks for just 30 minutes, which is enough to convince Sun to finally drop her weapon.

Time for another flash. Then another. Charlotte collapses and warns Jin to not let them bring Sun back, no matter what.

Jack apologizes to Sun for leaving Jin behind. Also, he’s not any more happy with Ben than Sun is.

Juliet and Sawyer have been hit by nosebleeds as well. Sawyer wants to bail, but Daniel doesn’t want to leave Charlotte behind. Then there’s another flash. The others decide to go, but Dan is staying behind with her. Sawyer asks what happens if the Orchid isn’t even around any more, and Charlotte tells him to look for the well.

They arrive at the Orchid. Juliet asks: what are the odds they’d end up at the same time as it? So then there’s another flash. And no Orchid. Locke looks for the well.

Charlotte tells Daniel she’s been there before. She grew up on the island but left when she was young. Her mom always told her that it wasn’t real. When she left the island, a man warned her that, if she ever came back, she would die. That man was Daniel.

Locke wants to go down the well, but Jin doesn’t want him to bring Sun back. He promises not to bring her back, so Jin allows him to go. As proof that he’s dead, Jin gives his wedding ring to Locke. He begins his descent, and there’s another flash. Locke falls to the bottom, but the others are in a time when there is no well.

Daniel believes that his mother can and will help them, which he’d better be right about since Charlotte has died.

Locke tries yelling, but the people he was with obviously aren’t going to answer. Then he hears some footsteps, belonging to Christian, who tells him that he should have been the one to move the island as instructed. When he arrives in LA, he’s to gather all the people who left the island, convince them to join him, and Eloise Hawking will get them back to the island. As Richard said, he’s going to have to die.

Ben gives Sun the wedding ring, which he got from Locke. They’re at the church to meet with a woman who can help them get back to the island. Sun agrees to go with him. Desmond’s also there, looking for Faraday’s mother. She doesn’t like that the others are missing, but this group will have to do for now.

Lost Season 5 Episode 3 continued the saga of the time travelers. Dan is trying to disarm a hydrogen bomb, while Locke has bumped into a young Charles Widmore. At the end of the episode, Charlotte collapsed.

The night before they came up with the lie, Kate and Jack agreed they were together in convincing the others to lie. That was the same night Kate came up with the idea of keeping Aaron as her own because she couldn’t lose anybody else.

At the hotel, Sun gets a delivery containing pictures of Ben and a gun.

After some prodding from Juliet, Dan admits he thought this might happen to Charlotte. It’s like really bad jetlag. He doesn’t know why it isn’t happening to everyone else.

Kate pays a visit to the lawyer. She agrees to give the blood samples only if she can first talk to the client, who probably won’t cooperate but does want to handle the exchange of custody quietly. She’s warned she’s going to lose the boy.

Locke wants to go back to the Orchid. He knows Ben used it to save the island and thinks he can reverse it if he brings them back. He has to make them come back… even if it kills him.

Charlotte awakens, feeling a bit dizzy but saying she’s fine.

Sayid had the equivalent of three doses of horse tranquilizer in his system, but he’s doing fine. He gets a visit from a man with a gun who needs to be subdued before he can tranquilize him again. He’s working for the person at the address in his pocket, which Jack says is Kate’s address.

Jack gets a call from Hurley, who’s in jail and feels happy he’s totally safe because he Ben’s never going to get him now.

Jack wants to see Kate, who reluctantly agrees to tell him she’s downtown. Ben wants to go deal with Hugo, and Sayid likewise is reluctant but cooperative.

The island group is walking and sees a bright light, which Locke wants to avoid. He seems to know when they are, even if nobody else does. As they’re walking, they hear screaming. It’s Claire as she’s giving birth, complete with nurse Kate to drive Sawyer nuts. Then there’s another flash.

When Jack gets to Kate’s car, she wants him to just go. She tells him what’s going on, but she has someone to follow, so he has to hop in.

Miles got a nosebleed. Dan thinks it has to do with duration of exposure, but Miles has never been there before two weeks ago. Is he sure of that?

They have finally managed to find their camp, but everything and everyone is gone, as is the boat. They do have a boat that was left behind, though, even if it doesn’t have a motor. As they’re rowing, shots are fired from behind. Two can play at that game, as Juliet grabs a gun as well. They’re saved by a flash. When Sawyer thanks the lord for this good fortune, they’re now in the same boat in the middle of a monsoon. The bullets were probably better.

Kate and Jack see who wants the kid. It’s Claire’s mother. Jack volunteers to go fix this. He tells her the whole story. Only she doesn’t know who Aaron is. Jack comes running out to warn Kate that she’s not who they’re looking for and that they need to go get Aaron.

Ben’s told by his lawyer that Hugo will be a free man in the morning.

Sawyer doesn’t want to talk about seeing Kate again, but Juliet gets it out of him. Well, she gets something out of him anyway… it is Sawyer. During their chat, it becomes Juliet’s turn to have a nosebleed.

They spot a wreckage from some French speaking people, who it turns out picked Jin up from the water.

Jack tells Kate about how Sayid’s attacker had her address in his pocket. He wants to make sure to get her and Aaron safe. Then Ben arrives… and apologizes for trying to steal Aaron. Sun’s there, too, Aaron in tow and gun in hand.

Jin may not be feeling all that well, but he’s alive. The French woman he’s talking to introduces herself to him. It’s Danielle, and she’s pregnant.

As those who remained on the island continue to go through their time loop, Ben was working on rounding up those who got off so that he could get them back there in Lost Season 5 Episode 2.

Charlotte has had some dizziness and double vision. So when’s Dan going to tell her what’s wrong? They and Miles arrive to a rigged explosion and a bunch of people with guns.

Although he realizes he sounds insane, Desmond still plans to go to Oxford.

Meanwhile, Juliet, Locke, and Sawyer are being distracted by some people they are holding hostage. Juliet says they know how to speak Latin because they’re others.

As they’re being escorted to the camp, Miles walks over a fresh grave, four US soldiers dead less than a month. The woman leading them calls for Richard, who assumes they’ve come back for their bomb.

Desmond arrives at Oxford to try to find Daniel’s mother. He’s told there is no record of her or her son. He goes snooping on his own, which he probably should have started off doing in the first place. The room is covered in sheets, but he does find a picture of Dan on the floor. He runs into a guy who tells him they’re covering up what happened and don’t want anyone to know about what Daniel was doing there.

Miles thinks they’re all dead, but Dan tells them they just need to keep it together until there’s another flash. In 5 minutes… or 5000 years. Daniel tells Richard that they need to let him render the bomb inert so that everybody doesn’t die. Oh, and by the way, he’s in love with Charlotte.

One of the hostages says that the rest of their people are either captured or dead because “that idiot” (aka Sawyer) shouted out “Meet at the creek,” so they knew exactly where they were headed and sent another group to get them there. Juliet asks in a dead language to bring them to their camp. He agrees, so the other guy kills him and runs away. Locke doesn’t shoot him because he’s one of his people.

Desmond knocks on a door to speak with Theresa Spencer. She’s lying in a bed being looked after because of the experiments Daniel was doing. Her sister Abigail says they wouldn’t be able to afford this if not for Mr. Widmore, the guy who funded the research and is paying the bills.

Richard gave the people who arrived the option to leave peacefully, but they were not interested, so he was forced to kill them all.

Sawyer wants to go save Farraday, but Locke would rather go finish his conversation with Richard.

Dan arrives to attempt to disarm a hydrogen bomb, which he realizes is unsafe. He’s pretty sure the chick holding the gun on him won’t shoot him since rifle fire isn’t the wisest option when near an atomic weapon. He asks for lead or concrete to fill the crack, and he plans to bury the bomb because that will make it safe. The reason he knows this is because 50 years from now the island is still there. After a little time travel story, Sawyer runs in with his gun to get her to drop hers.

Desmond charges into Widmore’s office. He wants to know where he can find Daniel Farraday’s mother. Not surprisingly, Widmore knows exactly where to look. He gives him the address and suggests he and Penny go back to where they were hiding rather than getting deeper involved in this mess.

Locke goes to the camp looking for Richard, saying that Jacob sent him. The guy with the gun at the camp is named Charles Widmore.

Even though he’ll probably keep waking up with memories, Desmond tells Penny that her and his son Charlie are his life now, but she knows he’ll never forget it, so the family will be going with him.

Locke asks Richard how to get off the island. It’s 1954 now, meaning Locke will be born in two years. He suggests that Richard come visit him if he needs proof. Before he can get an answer to his question, the flash happens again.

Shortly after the flash, Charlotte collapses.

On Lost Season 5 Episode 1, we learned what happened to the island after it disappeared. It went through a time loop. In order to save everybody from dying, Jack and Ben hope to gather those who escaped the island all up and go back.

Three years ago as they were on their way to rescue, the six plus Frank are trying to agree to lie to protect those who remain from Charles Widmore. Hurley doesn’t like the plan, but Penny tells him there’s no calling her father off. The truth is crazy, unless somebody backs him up, but nobody else is willing to tell it.

Back in the present, Hurley gets pulled over by a cop. Luckily it’s Ana Lucia, who tells him it was dumb of him to pull over and that he needs to pull himself together. And Libby says “Hi.”

Dan needs to calculate a new bearing in order for them to leave, which requires him to figure out when the hell are they.

Hurley stops at a convenience store, where he sees himself on TV. The girl at the counter recognizes him, but at least she doesn’t know he’s wanted by the police.

Kate gets a call from a mystery friend and is on her way there.

Ben tells Jack that, if there’s anything he wants, he needs to pack it because he’s never coming back. Jack responds simply “Good.” Ben’s going to move John somewhere safe. He’s dead, isn’t he?

Hugo shows up at home wearing an I Heart Shih-Tsu shirt and with an Iraqi over his shoulder. He tells his dad David that he’s in danger, though he’s not sure from whom. LAPD arrives to have a little chat. He didn’t kill three people, though. Sayid did. David tells him they’re not going to be able to wake Sayid up from having been shot by a dart and that they need a doctor.

Kate arrives at mystery friend’s place. It’s Sun.

Ben pays a visit to a butcher. He doesn’t want the porterhouse… just for a corpse to be watched.

The island crew has been trying to get fire all day. Neil the frogurt guy is growing impatient with them. Charlotte can’t seem to shake her headache, and she’s having memory loss. Dan knows what’s wrong, and she knows it. Before he has to answer to her, Miles has brought them all dinner, a boar. This sets Neil off. They can’t even get fire. All he had to do is ask. A flaming arrow hits him. Since more are on their way, it may be time to run. Frogurt guy’s a goner, though. We hardly knew him. Some other people who aren’t particularly relevant die as well.

David says he’s either crazy or he’s lying. He’s not crazy, and he has a really good reason for lying. Before he can tell the reason, Hugo’s mom Carmen shows up to find a not breathing guy on her couch.

Kate tells Sun about the lawyers. Sun doesn’t think they’re interested in exposing the lie, just getting Aaron.

Since they’re in need of a doctor, Hugo sends his father with Sayid to Jack, who wants to get him to the hospital. Getting their hands on Sayid was pretty easy. David’s got another request: stay away from Hugo.

Carmen’s now pushing Hugo for answers. He admits it was all a lie, then he tells her the truth, which sounds nutty. She believes him anyway, which could quite possibly be because the story doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Sawyer and Juliet get grabbed in the jungle by people who want to know what they’re doing on their island.

Jack begins his work on Sayid. He hooks him up to some machines and injects him with something. Shining a light in his eye is what really gets to him and causes him to wake up.

Ben arrives at Hugo’s house. He can get him out of there, but Hurley doesn’t trust Ben because Sayid warned him not to. They all want the same thing. To go back to the island. A convincing argument, but Hugo says “Never, dude” and runs outside to the cops. He admits to being a murderer. He killed four people… or three people… or however many people are dead.

As the men are about to cut off Juliet’s hand, someone comes to save the day. That could only be Locke.

Ben’s told he only has 70 hours, and if he can’t get them all to come back, God help them all.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Lost Season 5 Episode 3 Jughead, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on ABC.

At the end of season 4, the Oceanic Six (Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, and Aaron) got off the island, which seemed to be a good thing since it disappeared and all. They decided they had to lie to everybody about everything in order to protect those who remained on the island.

Ben has told Jack that they need to go back to the island, all of them. First they’ll grab Locke’s body. Since he’s dead, he should be easy to convince. Next, Hurley should be pretty easy since he’s in a mental institution. Jack believes he needs to go back to the island because John told him that, if he didn’t, everybody on the island would die.

Going back three years to the day the island was moved, we see that Locke was standing there next to Richard until a bright light flashed. Then Richard disappeared. Dan and the others heading back on the boat were inside the radius and were moved with the others on the island. The freighter, however, is gone. Sawyer’s plans to go back to the camp are dashed when Bernard tells him there is no camp. Dan tells them the camp isn’t gone and that he needs to go somewhere manmade. He says the camp isn’t gone. It just hasn’t been built yet.

Some lawyers show up on Kate’s doorstep and ask for blood samples from her and her son to determine whether they’re actually related. They don’t divulge who they’re working for, but it’s enough to scare her. She throws them out and says to come back with the sheriff. While they’re off getting him, she tosses some stuff in a bag and grabs Aaron. Farewell house.

Dan doesn’t want to explain, so Sawyer slaps him. He compares the island to a skipping record, saying that Ben’s actions at the orchid station dislodged them from time.

Elsewhere on the island, Locke almost gets hit by a plane, the Nicaraguan one where Boone died. Not having learned his lesson from Boone’s collapse, he tries climbing up to it until shots are fired, striking him in the leg. It’s their old pal Ethan. John decides to tell him the truth, which is a bad idea. As Ethan prepares to shoot him, the bright light flashes again. At least the crazy guy with the gun is gone now, although the sun has gone down with it. Sawyer asks Dan when they are now. His response is that they’re either in the past or in the future. Brilliant answer.

Sun’s at an airport flying to LA. When the airport agent is checking her in, she asks her to wait there after taking her passport. Then they lock her in a room with Widmore. He wants to know about their “common interests.” She wants to kill Benjamin Linus, too.

As they’re watching the news, Ben and Jack hear that Hugo is being accused of killing someone. As for Hurley, he’s at a drive thru with Sayid, who Hugo suggests should get some more comfort food so he doesn’t have to go around shooting people. Sayid says he’s been working for Ben. To clear up any confusion about this, he tells him to do the opposite of whatever Ben tells him, should he ever have the misfortune of running into him again. After a shootout in which Sayid kills someone else, Hurley’s spotted with a gun in his hand. Hurley says they never should have left that island.

Dan and the others arrive at the hatch to find it’s all blowed up, which at least means they’re at a point after when they crashed on the island. He warns them that it’s not possible to change anything. If they try to do anything different, they will fail every time.

Locke gets up to find the plane upside down on the ground. Richard’s back, and he knows there’s a bullet in Locke’s leg. He told him he was shot. Or he will tell him that anyway. Like Dan, Richard doesn’t want to explain anything, but he warns him that he won’t recognize him the next time they meet, so he gives him a compass. Oh, and by the way, he’s going to have to die. Then there’s another flash, and the plane’s back where it was before.

The others are also back in time, and the hatch is back, albeit closed. Sawyer heads to the back door for some supplies, and he plans to get Desmond to let him in, except Desmond didn’t know him back then since they never met. Dan tells him to stop wasting his time because if it didn’t happen, it can’t happen. Sawyer doesn’t like that answer because everybody he cares about just blew up. Juliet wants to head back to the beach. When they get started, Charlotte’s nose begins bleeding. She says it’s nothing, but Dan doesn’t seem to agree. Having just told Sawyer not to bother banging on the door, he does so for 20 minutes, and Desmond finally answers, gun in hand. The rules don’t apply to Desmond because he’s special. Dan tells him that everybody is in danger and that he has to go back to Oxford and find his mother. Desmond wakes up from his island nightmare and knows it was real. He has to get to Oxford.
