Lost There's No Place Like Home, Part 2

Episode Description

In a flash forward, we see a continuation of the conversation Jack and Kate had in the final episode of season 3 outside the airport. Kate is angry at Jack for saying they have to go back to the island. She mentions that Jeremy Bentham, who the obituary is about, was crazy when he came to them. After slapping Jack for not being there for Aaron, she tells him he has no right to ask her to return to the island. Back on the island, Sawyer and Jack find Hurley and arrive at the Orchid. Locke is there alone. Meanwhile, Michael, Desmond, and Jin try to figure out what to do about the bomb on the freighter. Keamy and his men getting are getting ready to get on the helicopter with Ben when Kate runs out of the jungle, claiming she’s being followed. Keamy and his men prepare, but they are no match for Ben’s men, Sayid, and Richard Alpert, who shoots Keamy. Ben gives Kate and Sayid the helicopter as a reward for saving him. In a flash forward, Hurley gets a visit from Walt at the mental hospital. Walt says that he received a visit from Jeremy Bentham, but none of the Oceanic 6. Walt wants to know why they are lying, and Hurley says it’s so they can protect the people on the island who didn’t come back. Back at the Orchid, Locke and Jack argue about whether or not to stay on the island. Locke tells Jack that if he is going to leave, then he is going to have to lie to protect the island. Ben arrives, telling Jack to get to the freighter within the hour if he wants to leave. Back on the boat, Michael gets an idea to freeze the bomb with liquid nitrogen, to buy some time. Daniel arrives back on the beach to take more people to the boat, specifically telling Miles and Charlotte that they need to go. Charlotte is ready, but Miles wants to stay and tells her he is surprised to hear that she’s ready to go when she spent so long trying to get back. She claims to not know what he’s talking about. Down in the depths of the Orchid station, Locke tries to get some information from an orientation video that discusses a space-time experiment, while Ben rushes to put things in a giant vault. A bloody Keamy shows up saying that the body armor he was wearing saved him from the bullet. He shows them the heart rate monitor that controls the freighter bomb. Locke tries to reason with him, but Ben stabs Keamy in the neck. Locke is shocked, but Ben doesn’t seem to care that his actions may have killed the people on the freighter. Sawyer, Hurley and Jack arrive at the helicopter, get Lapidus out of his handcuffs, and take off with Kate and Sayid. On the beach, Charlotte tells Daniel that she is going to stay on the island because she is looking for the place she was born. Juliet also decides to stay to help everyone gets off the island first. While Michael struggles to freeze the bomb, Lapidus discovers the helicopter has a fuel leak. After throwing off some cargo, it is still not light enough to make it back, so Sawyer whispers something to Kate, kisses her, and jumps into the ocean.
