At first I was all DAGGER! because Lost won't be back til April 24. But really it needs a break because it's been dragging lately. I guess this was the last episode before the writers' strike and it would have really sucked if this had been the season finale.
It was all about Michael. We learn that he and Walt made it back home after escaping the island. But things must not have been good for Michael, as he pins a suicide note to his chest and rams his car into a dumpster. No one likes a quitter, Michael. He survives.
Tom (one of The Others who I think died, yes?) found Michael in an alley and told him, "You can't kill yourself, the island won't let you." He's right because Michael tries to shoot himself a couple times and the gun jams.
Tom, who apparently favors the menfolk (nice), tells Michael that Widmore staged the Oceanic 815 wreckage with some dead Thai people and an old plane. He asks Michael to be an undercover brother on Widmore's freighter (which is out looking for the island) - in order to kill everyone on board. What's Michael's gain in this? Alleviating his guilt for killing those chicks on the island, which he apparently confessed to Walt, and which Walt now hates him for.
So that's how Michael ended up working on the freighter as Kevin Johnson. Ben calls him at one point but I can't remember what he said, some B.S. about not killing everyone on the ship because some are innocent. I guess he was awaiting further orders.
Back on the island next to nothing happened. Ben sent Rousseau, their daughter, and her boyfriend to "the Temple". Boyfriend gets shot. Rousseau gets shot (dagger!). Alex surrenders yelling "I'm Ben's daughter!" Lame-ass ending no. 159.
The preview looked good - the war is on!! It better be!
