Lost: Back To Its Old Middling Self

This episode brought another new twist on the flashbacks/fast-forwards. We start with Sun, clearly in the future, being called one of the Oceanic Six, going into labor. She doesn't want to have the baby without Jin there. We have a comedy of errors wherein Jin is trying to get to the hospital. He arrived at the maternity ward, but here's the thing -- he's not there to see Sun, he's there to see someone for work and -- dun dun dun -- he's only been married for 2 months. So Jin was in a Flashback, while Sun was in a Flash-forward. In the future, Hurley comes to visit her and her baby girl and they go to Jin's grave, which says he died on the date of the plane crash. * sad horns*

Back on the island, Sun wanted to go to Locke's side of the island because she didn't trust these alleged rescuers. Juliet tells her to stay or else she won't survive, she won't, so Juliet tells Jin that Sun had an affair. That bitch! I hate Juliet now more than I ever did. She's a grade-A C. Jin and Sun make up, it's all good. Well, except for the part where Jin eventually dies.

On the freighter, Zoe Bell was on-screen for about 45 seconds before she jumped off the ship to her death. Wow, she and Fisher Stevens didn't stick around long, did they? The Captain tells Sayid and Desmond that the recovery of their plane crash wreckage (including all bodies) was staged. And that's why they need to get Ben. Are they saying Ben did it?

We also meet Kevin Johnson. Kevin Johnson = Michael "WAAAALT!" Dawson. This would have been more (read: actually) surprising if: A) Harold Perrineau hadn't been in the credits this whole season and B) he hadn't been at Comic-Con to promote the fact that he was coming back.

Next week: Someone! Will! Die!
