Lost

So... the plane has crashed, and Locke's dead body was on it. The non-main-characters are all gathered on the beach, with a "man in a suit who was standing in the water." Locke! He's alive! Yay! Whut?

Flashback: Locke remembers turning the Island Crank and landing in Tunisia, much like Ben had done before. He is taken to some poor excuse for a hospital where they do some poor excuse for un-breaking his leg. Charles Widmore is at his bedside when he wakes up. They recall speaking to each other 4 days ago... when Charles was 17 years old. Charles explained about the Oceanic Six and how Locke has to bring them back to the Island, and gives him all the information he needs to find them.

The Man I Will Always Refer To As Lt. Daniels is Charles's man - sent to escort John and give him whatever he wants. They head to Santo Domingo first - where Sayid is working for a Habitat for Humanity knockoff. Oh Sayid, always such a good guy.

Then it's off to New York, where John meets with Big Walt just to say "hey". And now, since it's 3 years since the plane crash, it's OK that Walt is like 6'8" with a deep voice. Guess what, Walt? You were cuter and a better actor as a kid.

Now off to Santa Rosa to visit Hurley in the Nut Hut. Locke can't convince him, so it's off to try for Kate. Another no. Lt. Daniels is shot and killed along the way by an unknown assassin, and Locke gets in a car crash when he rushes away. He wakes up in a hospital with Jack sitting next to him. He tells him they have to go back to the Island, and Jack wants none of that destiny business. Then he passes on "Your father says Hello." Jack's freaked out, but still claims he won't go back.

Locke starts to hang himself at a motel, but Ben rushes in. Ben is the one who shot Lt. Daniels, supposedly to save Locke. Oh my god it was quite the heartbreaking scene, with Locke saying he's a failure and deserves to die. I love Locke. But Locke is also easily influenced by Ben, and Ben ends up choking him to death after Locke tells him they have to find Eloise Hawking, the old lady. Ben stages it like a suicide and leaves. Dagger.

Back to Present Day: Some people from the plane are missing (The Oceanic Six) and some are hurt - including Ben. "Do you know him?" "Yeah, he's the man who killed me." Boom.
