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.

Kings Cancelled

And I thought networks just dumped shows on Friday when they were on their way out. Technically, Kings hasn’t been cancelled yet, but it’s headed to the Saturday night graveyard, after which it will likely promptly be cancelled.

Starting next Saturday April 18, the network plans to air all remaining episodes of Kings at 8/7c.

In Kings’ current Sunday night time slot, NBC will merely extend Dateline into a 2 hour show.

Update: Kings has been moved to summer.

Update: Kings has been officially cancelled as part of NBC’s fall lineup announcements.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 22

Danko teamed up with a Sylar looking shapeshifter in Heroes Season 3 Episode 21. Meanwhile, Angela had a dream that she needs to reunite the family and go see her sister.

HRG’s examining what appears to be Sylar’s body. Danko says to trust him and that he’s not getting up this time. Funny how HRG’s tried all these years to capture him, yet Danko managed to do it this quickly.

Hiro and Ando are searching for big Matt Parkman. It’s their duty to unite the two Matt Parkmans. First they have to overcome the mystery of how to get the baby to stop crying. That and why their new car all of a sudden has stopped working.

Parkman’s looking for revenge on Danko.

Sandy comes to see HRG, and she’s not leaving town until he finds Claire.

The shapeshifter plans to destroy HRG.

Noah gets a call from Angela, talking about Coyote Sands. For 20 years, he’s asked about it but been told not to ask. She has spoken to Nathan, who will meet her there with Claire. He needs to meet them there as well. Noah, however, would apparently prefer to do some more digging into Sylar’s dead body.

Ando and Hiro are now hitchhiking. They’re picked up by a guy who looks Japanese but speaks redneck. His truck is now broken, too. Must be the baby.

HRG pulls the object out of Sylar’s skull. He wants a DNA analysis, but he does not want the body cremated.

Sandy brings some papers to sign. She wants to get a divorce because he’s a liar who’s endangered their lives. If only it were the real Sandy and not some shapeshifter.

If they can get the baby to stop crying, they’ll be able to proceed on their way. Until then, they’re stuck making funny faces. Ando probably can’t stay like that all the way to New York.

Parkman follows Danko to someone he apparently cares about. Except it turns out to be an escort.

The DNA matches James Martin, the shapeshifter. At least he was the shapeshifter until Sylar came along.

Matt tells the escort, Elena, that whatever Danko’s told her, it’s all a lie.

Suresh has gone to his apartment and finds some items in storage. There’s a place called Coyote Sands.

Sandy gets a visit from an angry gun-toting HRG. The signature on the divorce papers doesn’t match hers. If she’s really a shapeshifter, though, she probably wouldn’t have her phone and know where the dog’s pills are. His explanation about Sylar’s shapeshiftingness, which she believes, doesn’t ease her mind.

Elena has found where Danko really lives, thanks to Parkman. His fantasies of a normal life don’t change the fact that he kills people for a living. He really does care about her, though. Still, Parkman can’t kill her, so he drops the gun. Danko, however, has no problem killing Parkman. In the nick of time, Hiro arrives to stop time and wheel Parkman away. He lost the girl and didn’t hit the target.

Sylar’s gotten his hands on HRG’s old Primatech files. Only it’s not Sylar. It’s the real HRG. He wants Sylar on a platter. He’s on assignment as the leader of team six.

Matt Parkman didn’t want to be rescued, but perhaps he’ll change his mind when he meets Matt Parkman.

HRG goes with Danko to confront the leader of team six. After he shoots him, he insists he’ll heal. He doesn’t. Not until everybody else is out of the room anyway.

Danko calls Elena to explain his being a mad dog killer type. Jakob is the man he really wants to be, and he wants a chance to prove himself.

Angela, Peter, Nathan, and Claire have arrived at Coyote Sands. Whatever has happened, Nathan’s still his brother. They have to understand the past, which means grabbing some shovels and digging. Whose skull is that? Perhaps if they keep digging, they’ll find more. During this body hunt, HRG arrives as well.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Heroes Season 3 episode 23 1961, which airs Monday at 9/8c on NBC.

Reaper Season 2 Episode 5

Sam’s father returned in Reaper Season 2 Episode 4, appearing as if he may well be dead.

Sam invites Sock into his car. They need to talk in private. Yeah, his dead dad’s in the car. Except technically, he’s not dead, but he’s not really alive either. He made the deal with the Devil so he wouldn’t die, and now he can’t. Sock just about had a heart attack, so now he wants to invite Ben into the car so he can experience the same thing.

Ben wants Sock to know that his sister is a pretty cool person, which me might realize if he stopped drooling over her.

For his next job, Sam’s going after a vampire, or at least someone who thought she was a vampire. His vessel is a stake.

The Devil reminds Sam that his father sold his soul to him, so he might as well just forget about him and not feel bad about his current undead state.

In death, the soul still thinks she’s a vampire. Either that, or she’s a goth chick. The boys go to her house, but they’ve got good news for her. They’re not there to steal from her. They’re just there to send her back to Hell. They capture her pretty quickly. Then they find out they’re going to be stuck looking after the baby in the crib upstairs.

Souls have been known to escape from Hell to have their children here. Better schools. So what do they do with the baby then? Gladys tells them to have fun raising it. It’s probably just a regular baby, but they can send it down the return chute if they really don’t want it. She suggests asking Andi. She dates him, so she must know a lot about babies.

Sam invites Andi out for a night on the town. Ted suggests that her stress she’s been feeling is because the job tends to get a man down, especially if that man is a woman.

Sock’s idea: watch Honey I Blew up the Baby.

Ben tells Sock he’s got two options when it comes to his sister: medicate his boys into submission or workout for 15 minutes a day. The working out sounds too hard.

Tony pays the guys a visit. He came to warn Sam that they’re dispatching some demon assassins to kill him. Then he hears the baby crying. They don’t know whether it’s a girl or not because they haven’t changed a diaper yet. Or done anything else for that matter. Does he want the baby? Talking him into that was a little too easy. He wants to call her Stevie after Steve, although Sock already named her Magnum PI.

Andi arrives at the restaurant. It’s not Sam. It’s Morgan. He rented out the whole restaurant just for them. Andi’s troubled by the fact that he’s obnoxious, arrogant, rude, and, oh, his father’s the Devil. Oh, by the way, Sam’s got the same father as he does. Yeah, she didn’t know that.

When Sam gets to work, Andi wants to know if there’s anything he wants to share. Like how Satan is his real father. She can’t fire him, but he’s on dumpster duty.

There’s a small accounting error in purgatory. A missing soul. Sam already knows this soul: the baby. The kid is destined for evil, like its mother.

Sock’s back from the doctor with some pills so he can get rid of his manhood.

Sam tells his dad the fact that he’s a zombie is his fault because he made a deal with the Devil, and that he’s not his real father anyway.

The plan is to tell Tony that his food sucks so he’ll go down to the local market and leave them alone with the baby so they can vanquish her. That works. Now they just need to shove a stake through her face. Sam can’t do it. Perhaps if they sing a lullaby it’ll make it easier. Just then, Tony’s back, having gotten some tomatoes from his neighbor. He walks in to see Sam standing over his baby with a stake in his hand. After getting thrown around by Tony, Ben’s got an alternate plan. If they baptize her, the Devil won’t want her any more.

For this baptism, Sam will play the role of father, while Andi will play the role of the mother. Tony can’t go inside the church since he’s a demon and all. Sam should be fine, hopefully, since he’s half human. According to Tony, Sam is worth saving, or at least that’s what Steve told him when he appeared to him.

As they’re signing the paperwork for the baptism, the baby carriage rolls away. It gets by the traffic just fine and goes into the building across the street, where there’s a big fiery hole and a Devil waiting for it. Nature always beats out nurture. Sam’s got another idea. She can totally screw up everybody she comes into contact with, delivering the Devil a lot of chaos. She could damage a lot of people if she turns out to be a psychiatrist. He gives the baby back, but he warns Sam that you can’t stop nature.

Kristen walks in on Sock taking his pills. He tells her he has a small problem, or rather more of an average-sized problem. She won’t let him take the pills. What can she do to help him? Anything he needs, she’ll give it to him. Time to hit the gym.

Sam’s dad has rented out a storage facility as a dwelling, but Sam has recognized that he’s his father. If he is a good person, it’s because of how he was raised. So he can move into the garage. He’s a garage roomie only. The rest of the house is off limits to the mostly dead.

Lost Season 5 Episode 11

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.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Lost Season 5 Episode 12 Dead Is Dead, which airs Wednesday at 9/8c on ABC.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 21

Hiro kidnapped baby Matt Parkman and regained his ability to freeze time in Heroes Season 3 Episode 20.

As for Peter, he’s just saved his mom. He’s not saving her because he’s a good son, though. He just wants answers. She says she wants answers, too.

Danko may be off the case as far as Nathan’s concerned, but that won’t stop him from having agents. Granted, three of his agents are now no longer living.

Sylar shows up in Danko’s car. They both want the same thing: killing people like him.

Angela wants to have some dreams that matter, but she can’t get to sleep. She always found peace in the church where she was married, so that’s where they’re at now.

Nathan’s trying to earn some money with a drinking game. $100 a hit. Last man standing wins.

Danko hears a phone ringing. It’s from Sylar. He didn’t have much trouble sneaking in there. He’s got an answer for him. James Martin, the guy who killed his men, is a shapeshifter. We see how he changes form as he makes his getaway. He just has to touch someone, then he morphs into them. He could be anyone.

Angela thinks Peter must hate her for what she’s done and how she’s raised him, but he says he doesn’t.

Danko believes that shapeshifting would be Sylar’s escape hatch. Despite the fact that Danko has a gun pointed at Sylar and is trying to act tough, Sylar still wants to work with him.

Peter doesn’t get the point of all this, and he wants to know if God even cares. He wants to see God live up to his end of their deal and just show up. He doesn’t get an omnimpotent deity, but what he does get is a group of guys hunting two fugitives.

Martin’s trying on personalities like clothes. Sylar believes the common denominator is power. The roles he takes on give him power like he would never get in real life. What they’re seeking is men of power with women of allure. That narrows it down.

Nathan’s passed out, but that hasn’t stopped Claire from getting the money back. It’s like she’s not even affected by the alcohol.

Angela’s lost everything. Her friends, her husband, her boys. But that’s the price she chose to pay to save the world. As she’s saying that, HRG busts in on her in the confessional, and he just pretends that it’s all clear.

When they arrive at the night club, Sylar finds Martin. He thinks Danko will recognize him. Either Danko’s got a twin, or they’ve got themselves a shapeshifter. He’s after power. For some reason, he thinks Danko has that. Regardless, he’s a better Danko than the real thing is.

Nathan gave Claire a free pass because he hoped to win her over in one move. He’d do better to fix this mess he’s created.

Danko shoots someone who looks like Sylar. It’s Martin apparently. Now that that’s over, it’s Sylar’s turn to play.

Although Nathan said he would fix everything the night before, the next morning, he says he was just drunk. He doesn’t have any plans to fix this. Claire still believes in him, even if he’s lost belief in himself. He’s supposed to be Superman.

Angela has managed to get some sleep and have a dream. After they find Nathan and Claire and bring the family together, they need to go visit her sister.

Danko shows HRG the body in the body bag. Dead ringer for Sylar. The guy in Danko’s car who just shapeshifted into Sylar is as well.
