Episode 412 Theres No Place Like Home Part 1
In flash forwards we see just what happened when the Oceanic Six got off the island. They meet and greet their friends and family, Kate feeling left out and give a press conference. They say there were eight of them, Sayid, Kate, Jack, Hurley, Sun, Boone, Libby and Charlie but Boone died with internal injuries, Libby a week later and Charlie drowned a week before they found rescue. They were in the water for a day when the current took them to an island. On day 103 a typhoon washed up a survival kit and raft and by day 108 they had sailed to another island. In their time Kate gave birth to Aaron.
Hurley has a birthday party and his Dad has fixed up the old car but as they are about to go for a ride Hurley spots the mileage reads 4815162342 and he runs off. Sun tells her father he is one of the two people responsible for Jins death. Oceanic have paid their settlement and now she owns controlling stake in her fathers company. Jack has a ceremony for his father and afterwards Claries mum introduces herself and explains she is the reason his father was in Australia. She tells him he has a sister who was on his flight, Claire. Jack is shocked but so is Kate, who is holding Aaron. Claires mother says Aaron is beautiful and walks out.
On the island Jack goes after the signal on the satellite phone, on route he and Kate bump into Miles and Sawyer. Kate goes back to the beach with Aaron and Miles as Sawyer goes off with Jack, saying he doesnt get to die alone. At the beach Sayid has arrived on the raft when Kate tells him what is going on. They run off into the jungle in search of Jack and Sawyer whilst Daniel ships the first group back to the freighter that includes Jin and Sun. On the freighter they meet up with Michael who wants to make up for his past.
Michael has got the engines working but there is something blocking signals underwater so they cant see the reef, the driver says he isnt going more than five miles off shore. As he looks for what is causing the signal block Des finds a massive pile of C4 that is primed and ready to blow.
On the island and Jack and Sawyer have found Lapidus handcuffed to the helicopter. They free him. Kate and Sayid find different tracks in the jungle that are doubling up behind them. They call out whoever is following them and out walks Richard Alpert. They are surrounded by Others and he walks them away. Locke, Hurley and Ben are headed for the Orchid station, when they get there Keamy and his team are already there. Ben tells Locke what to do and he walks right into the station and gives himself up. Keamy knocks Ben out.
Episode 413 Theres No Place Like Home Part 2
Ben has given himself up and is being escorted by Keamy and company to the helicopter. Jack and Sawyer catch up to Locke at the Orchid, Locke tries to explain to Jack that he is on the island for a reason, he asks him to reconsider leaving. Jack laughs this off and tells him that he is leaving the island so Locke asks him to lie, its the only way to protect the island. Jack tells Hurley theyre going to the helicopter and Hurley says thats just where the army dudes have gone.
At the helicopter Kate comes running out of the jungle, she runs straight into Keamy and says who she is and that shes running from Bens people. The troops fan out but are attacked by the Others, they all die and Kate releases Ben. Ben asks Richard what the arrangement was and agrees to let Sayid and Kate go. Ben returns to the Orchid to find Jack talking to Locke, Ben tells him he can leave.
At the beach and Daniel has come back for a second wave of people, he really wants Charlotte and Miles on the raft but they both choose to stay. Miles and Charlotte talk, he is surprised that she isnt more keen to stay considering how hard shed tried to get back here. Charlotte tells Daniel she isnt going as she has been searching for the place she was born. Daniel asks Juliette is she wants to come but she too is going to stay until he gets back. On the freighter and Michael, Jin and Desmond are trying to defuse the bomb but arent having much luck. They freeze the battery but theyve not got a lot of liquid nitrogen left.
Back at the Orchid and Ben shows Locke the orientation film. The station is about time travel and Locke cant believe it. Ben starts piling metallic objects into the vault when Keamy arrives. He says they should have taken a headshot as his vest has seen some action. He says hes wearing a dead mans trigger, a heart rate monitor hooked up to a bomb on the freighter, should his heard stop the bomb goes boom. Locke appears and tells Keamy he has no argument with him when Ben jumps Keamy and stabs him in the neck screaming that he killed his daughter. Locke says to Ben hes just killed everyone on the freighter and Ben says so what?
Episode 414 Theres No Place Like Home Part 3
On the freighter the bombs light turns red but thanks to the liquid nitrogen the bomb doesnt go off. Desmond runs off to warn people to get off the boat but the helicopter is arriving. He signals to send it away but Frank lands because he needs fuel. They panic, patching up the holes as best they can and refuelling. Sun gets on the helicopter as does Desmond but Jin is still with Michael. He tells him that hes going to be a father and needs to go but Frank has already taken off. Michael hears the whispers and Christian Sheppard appears to him, he tells Michael he can go now. When the helicopter is a safe distance away the ship explodes.
On the island and Sawyer swims out of the ocean like an advert for Davidoff Cool Water. Juliette is drinking Dharma Rum and he asks her whats shes celebrating. She says shes not and gestures towards the smoke on the horizon. Sawyer asks if thats their boat, she says it was.
In the orchid and Locke wants to know why Ben killed Keamy and all the innocent people on the freighter. Ben says it was a bad decision and his grief over Alex clouded his judgement, he tells Locke he hopes hell do a better job as leader of the Others. He explains that moving the island comes with a price, hell never be able to return to the island. They shake hands and Ben goes through the hole in the back of the wall of the vault and along a passageway to a ladder that descends. At the bottom is a icy patch, Ben smashes this and continues to go down. One of the rungs snaps and Ben falls, cutting his arm. His condition is exactly the same as when he arrived in the Sahara Desert in EPISODE.
In this icy room there is a large wheel, frozen. Ben frees it and begins to turn it, he tells Jacob he hopes hes happy now and pushes the wheel around looking upset. A noise starts and light begins to emit. All over the island people can hear a noise and see a bright white light. On the helicopter they watch as the white light engulfs the island and it vanishes. Without fuel the chopper is going down. Sayid throws the life raft out the window and the copter crashes. They manage to survive and make it to the raft.
They float around in silence until Hurley says Locke did it, he moved the island. Jack rubbishes the idea and they argue. A ship appears, its Pennys boat! Des and Penny are reunited and Jack tells them all they have to lie. Jack talks to Penny and a week later the Oceanic Six leave the boat with the well concocted story. Des and Frank stay on Pennys boat.
The flash forwards take place directly after that in Through The Looking Glass, after Jack screamed they had to go back. Kate reverses the car and shouts at him for wanting to go back, for calling her and for believing Jeremy Bentham. Jack says he believed her because it was the only way to protect her and Aaron. Kate leaves. In Santa Rosa an older Walt comes to visit Hurley, he says Jeremy Bentham came to visit him but no one else. Hurley apologises and says no one visited as they needed to protect the people on the island. Walt asks like my dad? and Hurley gives a nervous yes.
Sayid too comes to visit Hurley, he kills a man in the parking lot and breaks into his room. He explains that circumstances have changed and that Bentham is dead. Hurley wants to call him by his real name but Sayid refuses to let him. Hurley goes with Sayid but not before moving a chess piece and saying Checkmate, Mr. Eko. Sun goes to London and goes to see Charles Widmore. She says they both have a common interest and for him to call her should he wish to cooperate with her.
Kate hears the whispers and runs into Aarons room where Claire is looking over her son. She screams at Kate not to dare take him back. Jack breaks into the funeral parlour at night, he opens the coffin and steps back. Ben arrives. He says there may be a way to go back to the island but they all need to go not just the two of them. Jack agrees and they go to leave, but Ben says that they all have to go back, including the man in the coffin. It is revealed that the man in the coffin is John Locke.
