LOST: WHAT THEY DIED FOR



Spoilers: If you didn't watch last night - go away....


Ben, Richard and Miles met up with Whidmore and his Tina Fey crony, Zoe. When Flocke came calling, Whidmore and Zoe decided to hide out in Ben's secret room. We could've told them that was a BAD IDEA. We think Miles ran away because he wasn't in the room later. However, Ben and Richard told Whidmore that they would rather meet FLocke head on and "get it over with." Well, Richard maybe should've run away because Smokey smacked into him like a freight train and took him halfway up a tree before we lost sight of it. Don't fret dear Richard fans, wethinks the Immortal Man somehow survived Smokey...again.

The best part? Ben, knowing Smokey was on a rampage, calmly sat down on a front porch of Dharmaville and simply waited for Flocke to appear as John. When he did a few moments later, Ben asked him if he wanted lemonade! The fear was palpable on Ben's face and it was great. Then, in one fell swoop, Ben sold out the crowd in his closet and Flocke, as John, took a knife and swiped Zoe's throat, cutting her open to Whidmore's dismay.

Flocke, then threatened Penny. Not Penny!! And Whidmore was forced to whisper some information to him right as Ben took a gun and shot Whidmore in the chest, killing him. Flocke wasn't even mad, he looked at Ben and said "you surprise me sometimes." Ben looked him in the eye and asked who else there was to kill. FLocke smiled.

The old, cold Ben is back! And we think he is scared to death of FLocke and not really working for him as much as trying to save his skin by helping FLocke until he has a chance to kill him.

As for our castaways, they FINALLY after ALL THIS TIME got to have a powwow with the Good 'ole Ghost of Jacob. He explained that he created Smokey by accident, that Smokey/MIB should not be allowed to leave the island, that there is a Light that needs to be protected and one of them needs to volunteer to take his place and stay on the island forever.

As we predicted, Jack couldn't wait to volunteer fast enough. So Jacob took him aside and gave him the "magic potion" of immortality. So now, Jack "is like Jacob". Wow.

In the sideways LA world, Desmond, in an all-out blitzkrieg, is doing everything possible to get the remaining castaways together. We're not sure why, or if Sun and Jin are included at this point, since they died on the island, but it was awesome to watch Ben getting slapped silly by Desmond. Des is using physical violence to get them to "remember" the island time. And Ana Lucia was back as a corrupt cop that sets Kate and Sayid free to go with Desmond and Hurley. See how everyone is coming together in LA? At the end, John Locke went back to Jack the surgeon to get his legs fixed so he can walk again.

And we got us some LA Rousseau! How nice to see her cleaned up, still Alex's mom and maybe hooking up with Ben? Wowso!

At the end of the ep, FLocke told Ben he wants to destroy the island. Cue the creepy music and set the tone for the Finale!

CHEAT SHEET - A GREAT guide to catching up on the whole storyline.


Jacob annoints Jack as Keeper of the Light...
whatever the heck that means.
