Lost

We open Off-Island, with Locke regaining consciousness post-surgery (after being hit by Desmond's car). Jack tells him he's a candidate for a new procedure to cure his paralysis, but Locke's not interested.

Jack visits Locke's dentist (Bernard) to get the details on Locke's paralysis. Wait - from his dentist? I missed something, surely. Anyway, Bernard tells Jack that Locke was involved in an accident with another man, Anthony Cooper.

Jack tracks Anthony (Locke's father) down to a nursing home where he's a drooling vegetable. Jesus, Jack can never leave well enough alone. Locke's accident was a plane crash - it was Locke's first flight as a newly-trained pilot. Jack's busy-body fix-everything ass wants Locke to let go of the guilt and get himself fixed instead of letting himself suffer like his father is. Locke still ain't buying it.

On the Island, Widmore's guys locks the Losties up in cages and set up the anti-Smokey perimeter. The power to the perimeter is cut, and then Smokey and Jack let everyone out of the cages.

They all head to the crashed plane. Locke finds a bomb on board and claims that Widmore planted it there - he wanted to lure everyone onto the plane and then kill them. This means everyone has to take the submarine to get off the Island.

I really love everyone all working on the same team, sneaking out to the dock to hijack the sub. There's a shootout, Kate is shot, and Jack pushes Locke into the water. Everyone but Claire and Locke make it on the sub. As Jack starts to work on Kate's bullet wound, he finds a bomb inside his backpack, a bomb with less than 4 minutes on the timer. Time to go back up to the surface.

Jack tells everyone it'll be OK - Locke can't kill them, that he's not allowed to, and instead he's trying to get them to kill each other. Huh? Sawyer doesn't buy it and tries to disarm the bomb, but it doesn't work. Sayid tells Jack where to find Desmond then runs away with the bomb, sacrificing himself. R.I.P. Sayid. Again. Hey, at least the bomb didn't rip a hole in the sub. Oh wait, it did. It also looks like it killed Frank, which makes me bitter. R.I.P. Frank.

As they're all trying to escape, Sawyer is hit over the head with something and Sun is pinned against the wall. Jack takes Sawyer out, and Jin stays behind with Sun. Jesus Christ, are they going to kill everyone tonight!? R.I.P. Jin and Sun. THIS SUCKS!

At least we get a glimpse of Off-Island Jin in the hospital at the end, visiting Sun.

Hurley, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer meet up on the beach and they're all pretty torn up, especially Jack. Tragically, Jack does not commit suicide in his despair. Locke knows they're not all dead, and heads off to finish what he started.

Hey, I got a question. Where's Miles!? Did he die and I blocked it out?

Miles is with Richard Alpert and Ben. They separated themselves when Hurley convinced everyone to go and meet Locke's group. I can't wait for them to show up...I miss Miles!
