Lost Season 6 Episode 2

Lost Season 6 Episode 1 was a tale of two cities. On the one hand was a group of people who landed as scheduled. On the other was a group of people still trapped on the island, including dead Juliet and dying Sayid.

Jack gets paged when the flight lands. There’s been a mix up involving the “cargo” he checked in Sydney. The coffin was never put on the plane. It’s not there, and they don’t know when it will arrive because they’re not exactly sure where it is.

Sawyer stays behind to bury Juliet, while the others go to the temple with Hurley to try to save Sayid. Underground, things start to go wrong. Kate disappears. Hurley starts yelling. Then Jack gets punched.

Kate asks the agent for permission to go to the bathroom. He reluctantly agrees, and there’s good reason for his reluctance, as she immediately starts breaking herself out of those cuffs. He discovers something is wrong but not in time to prevent her from smashing the door into his face and stealing his gun.

Since Miles talks to dead people, Sawyer wants him to find out what Juliet wanted to tell him before she died. She wanted to tell him: it worked.

The rest of the group are being escorted by a bunch of people with guns, who take them to the temple. They’re instructed to shoot them, until Hurley says that Jacob sent them. After opening the guitar case and reading what’s inside, they take Sayid to the spring. Seeing as how he carried the case across the ocean and through time, Hurley would like an explanation. If Sayid dies, they’re all in a lot of trouble.

Jin’s being held up at the airport. His case full of money has attracted the attention of security. Sun pretends she doesn’t speak any English, and Jin hasn’t learned either, not having been on the island.

Sayid is brought into the spring, where he’s held underwater. They can’t let him up until the hourglass runs out. After what appears to be too long, they let him up. Then they say he’s dead.

Kate finds an escape to go outdoors, where she’s made to wait in line for a cab. During her wait, she’s spotted, so she hops in the first cab she sees. He already has a customer, Claire, but Kate’s gun gives him the hint that she wants him to step on the gas.

When Hurley reveals that Jacob is dead, the entire place goes on full scale alert.

The black smoke (aka John Locke) wants the one thing that John Locke didn’t: he wants to go home.

Sawyer has decided he no longer intends to kill Jack. Rather, he’ll just let him suffer there like the rest of them.

Jack, whose father’s body is “in transit,” meets Locke at the airport. He lost a bag of knives. After they talk, Jack says he’s a spinal surgeon, and nothing’s irreversible.

Locke beats up and carries Richard away. He’s very disappointed in all of them. As he’s leaving, he passes his body on the ground.

Jack gets a “polite” request to have a conversation with the others. Either he goes with them willingly, or he’ll be dragged away. They’re gonna have to do this the hard way then. But with Sayid waking up and all, that interrupts the party.

Lost Season 6 Episode 1

Lost Season 5 left off with Juliet setting off a hydrogen bomb. The theory was that, if they do that, the flight lands as scheduled.

We start off the final season back on the plane, which hits turbulence. After some bumps, the captain apologizes for the rough ride and promises things will go smoothly from then on.

When Bernard comes back from the bathroom, Jack heads and checks out a cut he’s got on his neck. Upon returning, he bumps into Desmond. Do they know each other?

Kate wakes up in not quite as a happy a place. She’s up a tree in the jungle. When she climbs down, she runs into Miles, and he, too, is having trouble hearing. She says they’re back. If only he knew what she was talking about. Then they discover Jack and Sawyer on the ground at the hatch. Sawyer’s none too pleased that Jack was wrong and Juliet’s dead.

Back on the plane, everybody’s just having a normal flight. Kate’s still a prisoner. Hurley’s still the luckiest guy alive.

Hurley, Sayid, and Sylar wake up at the van. Sayid’s not doing so well and needs a doctor. Meanwhile, they hear a voice from under the rubble. Juliet’s not so dead after all.

Jin continues to control his wife Sun. Locke is sitting on the plane next to Boone, who we haven’t seen in a while. I hear he’s a vampire now. Locke’s convinced they could survive a crash in the water.

Having killed Jacob, Ben keeps starting at the fire. Why didn’t he fight back? Outside, Sun and Frank are with Richard, whose people say they’re the good guys. At Locke’s request, Ben goes outside to get Richard to come talk to John… who he finds is the body on the ground.

Hurley meets Jacob, the guy who gave him the ticket that landed him on that island. He’s also the guy who happened to die an hour ago. Never mind that, though. Sayid, who’s dying on the ground, needs to be saved by being brought to the temple.

The flight attendant calls for a doctor. Charlie went into the bathroom half an hour ago and is not responding, and they can’t get the door unlocked. Perhaps Sayid can be of assistance by kicking the door down. Charlie’s not breathing, but Jack pulls out a bag of heroine that was stuck in his throat and saves him.

After clearing the debris, Sawyer climbs down to find Juliet, who’s not dead but knows that the plan didn’t work.

Ben’s dragged back inside at gunpoint. Locke is in there as promised, but he breaks the news that Jacob is dead. So now they want to kill him. That cloud of black smoke coming toward them isn’t going to allow that to happen. After the guys are all taken care of, Locke apologizes to Ben for having had to see him like that.

Juliet tells Sawyer she needs to tell him something important, but that’s the last thing she says to him, for which he blames the doc.

Charlie, who’s now being escorted in handcuffs, is not happy to have been saved by Jack. He was supposed to die. As for Kate, she, too, is marched off the plane in cuffs. Locke, meanwhile, awaits assistance to be wheeled off the plane. For some, their little island paradise was not so bad.

The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 13

As Stefan pretended to be helping Damon gain access to the tomb in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 12, two other vampires, Anna and Ben, surfaced, also looking for a way in.

Back in 1864, Katherine’s having herself a little killing spree, teaching Damon how he’s supposed to behave when she turns him.

Damon arrives to greet the less than fully clothed couple in bed. He assigns Elena to journal duty, explaining that the grimoire is kind of like a witch’s cookbook.

Katherine finds out that the townspeople are ingesting vervain, an indication that they’re on to them. Regardless, she does not intend to leave because she likes it there. Like the brothers, Anna is there, too.

Anna doesn’t seem too fond of her new friend Ben, who she chose because he was a sad small town bartender who lacked purpose.

As Alaric’s in school reading the journal, he gets a pair of visitors, with both Stefan and Anna stopping by. It’s Stefan he actually runs into. Stefan suggests having a seat. He may want to listen. He’s there in town because a vampire killed his wife. As for the journal, it’s on his desk. At least it was.

Back to the old days, Damon’s and Stefan’s father approaches them looking for help. They have a plan to kill the vampires, who do exist.

Alaric is well aware of Stefan’s brother. Who does he think killed his wife? He’d like to find her body, which they never found.

Damon has some advice for Jeremy about Anna: hot trumps weird.

Bonnie would die for Elena, a bit of information Ben may find useful.

It turns out Mr. Saltzman made a copy of the journal, which he was kind enough to “loan” Stefan.

Giuseppe, Stefan’s father, wanted to carry his secrets to the grave with him. Might want to go dig that thing up then.

Katherine bit Stefan, who’s been fed vervain by his father. When she collapses, he’s instructed to turn on her and forget everything he feels about her.

Going with Jeremy to meet Anna, Damon realizes he already knows her. If he wants the same thing she does, he’s going to have to help her. Well, that’s her theory anyway. Too bad he works alone.

Stefan and Elena rob his father’s grave, and they find the grimoire as expected. Of course, using his newfound knowledge that he obtained from Anna’s journal reading, Damon shows up to make it a threesome, or at least a twosome with a third wheel. Stefan’s got a choice. Hand over the book, or they can both have a vampire girlfriend that looks like Katherine again. They make the trade.

As Katherine’s being hauled away, Damon blames his brother for her capture. Anna’s on the scene, and she watches her mom get shot.

Heroes Season 4 Episode 18

After making a fake deal with HRG in Heroes Season 4 Episode 17, Samuel set him up and made it look like he attacked the carnival. Meanwhile, Parkman trapped Sylar all alone without another soul in his world.

Sylar hears Peter’s calls, and he greets the first person he’s seen in three years. Not liking the thought that somebody’s in his head, he swears to kill Peter. Why would the brother of the man he murdered come to his aid? Because he needs someone to save Emma from killing thousands of people.

Samuel wants Damien to reveal HRG’s memories. They return to 1985 and a used car salesman. In black and white. Turns out he had another wife and family. At least he was going to. A man robbed him using his powers and killed his first wife before she could give birth.

Peter discovers that perhaps Sylar is happy to be stuck in this dream world. That said, maybe he is willing to help break through the wall to Parkman’s basement.

Lauren runs into Emma, who helps her before being warned that Samuel’s done terrible things and now is trying to get his people against a common enemy. Samuel would like a word.

Claire doesn’t need to see any more, but that’s not going to stop Damien. A year later, HRG confronts and kills a special in self defense. That would be his first. In his next memory, he gets a visit from the company. They’re impressed. So impressed they’d like him to come work for them. Two years later, after three more deaths, they need him to make a change. Take a wife and start a family. Perhaps he could go after that waitress named Sandra who’s serving them.

But that’s all in the past. He’s not working for them any more. Flash forward to Thanksgiving weekend and his visit to Gretchen. She must work with him to get Claire back from the carnival and into a normal life. Otherwise, he will erase Gretchen’s memory.

Back at the great wall, Peter’s still hitting it. No progress in he doesn’t want to know how many days.

Lauren warns Samuel that his family’s going to get hurt. He’s just wondering what happens when he brings all the specials there with him. His brother told him he could move mountains or cities. The world should have treated him better.

Like Peter, Sylar has decided he wants out, too. So now he starts swinging a sledgehammer.

Claire would like to see the memory her father has of him shooting Lydia, knowing no such memory exists. Regardless of what she has seen, she has no desire to turn on him.

Samuel’s plan is to bring the whole show to Central Park. Not liking that she is not onboard, he sends Claire to the souvenir trailer to rescue her father, then promptly sinks it.

Eli has been left in charge of taking care of Lauren, a task he has failed at, as she has gotten away. Samuel tells him it’s not worth worrying about. There are other people he needs to deal with instead.

Peter and Sylar have been there alone for years, but Peter still hates him for killing Nathan. When he comes to the realization that Sylar’s not that guy any more, a crack emerges in the wall that allows them to get out of this nightmare world. When they bust out, they find it’s been maybe half a day. Before they can go save Emma, they’ll have to deal with Eli first, seeing as he’s waiting for them on the stairs to Parkman’s basement.

Claire and HRG are still alive. Just underground about 40 or 50 feet.

The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 12

Elena found out why she looks like Katherine despite being from a different family in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 11: she’s adopted.

Stefan says there’s another vampire in town, so they need to be careful. Too bad he invites the pizza delivery guy inside.

Jeremy writes a paper about vampires in Mystic Falls. His teacher, Alaric, who knows a thing or two about the subject, tells him to not bother getting too caught up in the conspiracy theories.

Caroline and Matt are growing closer. She says it’s because Matt’s not over Elena.

Bonnie suggests that Elena dig deeper into this adoption thing. Seeing as how she just found out her boyfriend is a vampire, it’s not as if things can really get much worse.

Elena gets a call from the guy she hit with her car. Why call if he just wants her dead? To protect her, Stefan gives her a compass, so he can find her if she’s in danger.

Elena’s parents delivered the baby of a teenager, but a few days later she disappeared. That left them with Elena. All Jenna knows about the girl is her name, Isabelle.

Stefan says he’s willing to do anything to get his brother out of town, even release Katherine, although the other 26 vampires will have to stay put.

Having received an invite inside Elena’s house, the new vampire in town is able to make his way in and attempt to attack her, but Stefan arrives just in time to save her. Damon suggests they go to a public place instead, using her as bait.

Anna continues to stalk Jeremy at the dance. As much as he doesn’t want to admit it, they’re about as on a date as they can get.

Bonnie has decided to make a move on Ben, the ex-jock now bartender.

Anna insists that Jeremy give her his ancestor’s journal. When he tells her he gave it to Alaric, she tells him he shouldn’t give it to just anybody. Unless that anybody is her. As her face starts to change, she turns around and leaves. From there, she heads inside the school to see if she can find the journal, and she runs into Elena’s not so friendly stalker Noah, who’s working with her, more or less.

Elena gets another call. She’s told she has 5 seconds, or her brother dies. It’s not long before she realizes she probably can’t kill Noah with pencils through the heart, so it’s a good thing Damon and Stefan realize what’s going on. They don’t want to kill him. They just want to talk. And maybe torture him a bit. He gives in and tells them to check the journal to find out how to get into the tomb. Since he’s not going to talk any more and was invited into Elena’s house, that’s about all the use they have for him, so now he can die. At least now they know they need to find the grimoire.

Matt has decided he doesn’t want to risk the one good thing he’s got going, so he doesn’t plan to start dating Caroline. With that said, he doesn’t have to worry, since she has now lost interest in doing so. He chases after her and warns her it’ll never work, which leads to kissing anyway.

Alaric has decided to keep the talk of his ex-wife to a minimum when he’s around Jenna. Her name was Isabelle.

Stefan tells Elena he lied to his brother. He has no intention of helping him get in the tomb.

Anna sneaks up on Ben, who’s not surprised by her because he, too, is a vampire.

Heroes Season 4 Episode 17

Sylar played some mind games with Claire in Heroes Season 4 Episode 16 to get her to tell him he should give up his powers.

Samuel is growing increasingly distrustful of Lydia, who tells him nobody respects him any more.

Parkman returns home, where he sees Sylar. The good news is that Sylar’s not in his head. That’s so two months ago.

Claire goes to see her father, and she’s greeted by Lauren and a bunch of files and maps and everything that he promised to put behind him. They’re investigating the burial of a town, where 200 are dead at Samuel’s hands.

So why has Sylar showed up on Parkman’s doorstep? He needs him to go inside his head again, so he can take his powers away. Maybe that would help him be normal, despite the hundreds of murders.

Peter believes Sylar was trying to help Emma in the dream.

Claire heads to the carnival to see Lydia and warn her that her father’s on his way to kill Samuel. Of course, Eli overhears this conversation. Claire’s hope is that he will give himself up, and she promises his father will not hurt him if he does, as if he’s known for his mercy. HRG and Lauren don’t buy this plan, but he’ll trust Claire since she believes it’s a good plan. Worst case, they just get a better shot at him out in the open away from everybody else.

As Samuel’s giving his speech about brokering a deal and the importance of the safety of everybody there, he’s shot from behind. Claire, too, is shot.

Parkman tries to go in Sylar’s head. Then he tries again unsuccessfully. Sylar’s warning is that, either he purges him of his powers, or he will use them in some creative fashion.

HRG spots the shooter, who also shoots Lauren. Too bad it’s not the real Eli, who’s waiting right behind him. Lydia is also among the wounded. Samuel thanks her for her sacrifice, letting her know he set this up.

A properly motivated Parkman tries again. Sylar’s powers seem to be gone, or at least they’re buried. He’s trapped him inside his twisted immortality. Then he proceeds to seal him inside the wall. The problem with this plan is that Peter needs to find Sylar, and he knows that Sylar’s there. Peter’s cool with going back inside Sylar’s head and bringing him back. He is greeted by empty streets without a soul around.

Lauren calls Tracy, seeing as how things have gone wrong.

The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 11

Closing out the first half of the season in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 10, Elena found out about Katherine, which caused her to flip out and flip her car.

Damon comes to the rescue. Not overly concerned about the fact that she could well be dying, her response to him is “I look like her.” When she wakes up in Georgia, Elena tells Damon he has kidnapped her, and she’s not going to Georgia. Except she’s in Georgia. Without her magic little necklace. Stefan calls on Elena’s phone, which Damon answers, and tells Stefan to have a good day and hangs up. Damon promises Elena she will be safe, and he will not do that mind control thing on her. He, however, will not promise that she can trust him.

Stefan heads to Bonnie, hoping she can use Elena’s necklace to make a connection. Nothing. There’s something wrong with Bonnie.

Damon’s destinaton: a bar outside Atlanta. He starts making out with the first woman he sees. She seems to know him. Turns out she’s a witch.

Bonnie fears that her powers are gone. Her grams warns her that she’s not going to find anything in any books. Whatever has her so scared needs to be cleared out.

Damon’s mission is to get into that tomb, but Bree tells him there’s no way in without a crystal.

When she goes out to think, Bonnie falls into a hole in the ground. Her grandma trusts Stefan will keep her safe, although she doesn’t intend to invite him inside.

Jeremy has decided that vampires were merely a metaphor for the demons of the day, the Union soldiers.

Stefan has managed to locate Bonnie. He guessed where. She heard them down there behind the door of the tomb. Stefan assures her she’s safe because the crystal has been destroyed.

Bree’s called another vampire to the scene to attack Damon. He seems upset because Damon killed his girlfriend Lexi. Elena begs him to be better than Damon and not set him on fire. He obliges. Upon recovering, Damon kills Bree.

Stefan tells Elena that the first time they met was the day their parents went off the bridge, not that day in school. Her dad was still alive in that car, but he didn’t want help until Elena was helped. After that, he spent months making sure she was not Katherine, realizing she’s nothing like her in the process.

So why does she look like her? She was adopted.

Jeremy’s new friend Anna has dug up some articles. Every so many years, there’s a series of animal attacks in the area. All the people involved in those attacks have been drained of blood.

When she returns home, Elena gets an earful from Aunt Jenna about lying. That said, she has a question: is she adopted?

Alaric knows Damon’s face quite clearly. It’s the face of the man who killed the woman he loved.

Heroes Season 4 Episode 16

Suresh, Ando, and Hiro broke out of the mental institution in Heroes Season 4 Episode 15.

Gretchen wants to discuss what’s happening with Claire, who’s not really interested in chatting. So perhaps that empty seat could be put to better use by Sylar instead.

Hiro collapses and sees Adam Monroe, who’s dead. Is Hiro dead, too? That’s for the judge to decide. Judge Kaito Nakamura (also dead). Hiro has been accused of breaking the hero’s code, altering the timeline for personal gain. The penalty is death.

When Claire arrives at her review session, she is also greeted by her good buddy Sylar.

Hiro pleads not guilty. Ando will be his lawyer.

Claire’s kinda upset at Sylar because he killed her father or… something. Based on the tattoo on his arm, she’s supposed to help him. If she doesn’t, she may want to consider fearing for Gretchen’s life. His theory is that they have a lot in common. So if they have all this in common, how is she a college coed while he’s a serial killer? Her theory: he’s a pyschopath. With that said, they will have to make out some so that he can read her mind.

Having kidnapped her, Samuel’s trying to figure out why Vanessa doesn’t seem to want to be with him. His hope is that spending time with her and remembering the good times will ease her mind about all the bad.

The first people on the stand: Hiro’s sister and young Ando. They tell of how Hiro prevented her dress from being ruined by a slushy. Ando objects that Hiro did anything wrong. He just helped two people fall in love. Nobody got hurt, so it’s okay.

Sylar points out Claire’s inability to say the one thing she really wants to Gretchen. If she keeps this up, she’ll end up all alone, too.
Done listening to all this, Claire stabs him in the eye, and Sylar’s big mouth just told her exactly where to find her friend.

Next on the stand is Sylar. His agreement with Hiro was to save the waitress in exchange for the cheerleader and anybody else he wanted to kill. So how many hundreds of people have died since then? Hiro believes that Charlie was a good person worth saving, and he stands by it. The final witness will be Charlie. Oh wait. She’s lost in time. How did that happen? Hiro made a deal with a double-crossing villain.

Somehow, Samuel seems to be winning over Vanessa. Not letting the fact that she’s basically his prisoner stop her, she decides to kiss him. He remembers her dream home, and he offers it to her. This could be their life. It’s a fantasy come true. Not her fantasy, though. His.

After being rescued by Claire, Gretchen’s just glad this is all over. Only it isn’t. While they’re hiding from him, though, they have a heart to heart, which leads to the discovery that Sylar’s answer is to get rid of all of his powers. Well, now the shape shifting Sylar knows what he needs to do. He never actually took Gretchen anywhere.

When this is over, Claire goes to find Gretchen and decides that hand holding is okay.

Seeing as there are no other witnesses sitting around, and despite the fact that it always backfires on Law & Order, Ando calls Hiro to the stand. His whole life he has wanted to be a hero, and he wants to use his powers only for good. Then he recites the opening to Quantum Leap. If breaking the code for family, friendship, and love makes him guilty, then guilty be he.

The verdict: guilty.

Hiro has decided to change his plea to guilty. He wants to do the right thing and go out a hero. He’s offered the chance to fight for his honor against Adam.

Victory Hiro. Then he gets a visit from his mother, who tells him destiny is more powerful than science. She’s come to heal him.

Sylar goes looking for Parkman.
