Jack wakes up in the jungle, in his suit and flat on his back. He hears voices and sits up.
Show of hands here: How many of you expected to see Vincent bounding through the brush to find him.
Six. seven... yeah, me too.
But no -- Jack's hearing cries for help. He dashes through the jungle (as only Jack can do) and comes to a bluff, beside which is a waterfall and a deep pool at the bottom. Floundering around down there, holding onto ...something... is ...someone...
HeroJack dives in (how'd he know the water was deep enough for him not to crack his skull?) and swims to the rescue...
It's Hurley. Grasping a guitar case.
They make it to shore, and Jack sees an unconscious Kate. He revives her. She's okay. They're ba-ack!
FLOOSH! We see how they got there: Back to Eloise Hawking and her Church of the Holy Dharmalites. She brings them down into a basement lab, where a giant pendulum swings around and several computers chatter away. This, we're told, is the Dharma LampPost station, the technocenter that enabled the company to find Craphole Island in the first place. Not so much where it IS, but, rather, where it's going to be as it skims through time. She blithely points to a bunch of mathematical jibber-jabber on the board and tells them that she can get them back.
Des wants no part of it. Exit Des.
Eloise gives Jack the lowdown on a Guam flight that will pass right through a 'window' that will open up to the island, allowing entry.
She then gives Jack an oddball set of instructions, necessitating a recreation of the events that first brought them to CI. He receives Locke's suicide note, which he does not read (we learn that JL hung himself, although we don't learn why -- at least not this week!) and is told that, in acting as his father's proxy, he must give to Locke something of Daddy-o's.
And when he asks why, he's told the ep title for this week's recap.
Okay.
Ben tells Jack where Locke's body is (at the butcher). He then visits his Grampa where -- wonder of wonders -- he picks up an old pair of Daddy Doc's shoes. Jack returns home and finds an Aaron-less Kate there. She's now ready to accompany him to the island, presumably because "her" son has been taken.
Easy-peasy, Jack gets to the butcher, opens the casket, puts on the shoes, clicks the heels three times, and is whooshed back to the island.
Well, not quite.
He tossed the unread suicide note in the box and closes it. Off to the airport.
Oh, and somewhere along the way, Ben calls. He's been badly beaten, but we don't know by whom or why.
Airport. Sun, Sayid, Hurley have all made it too, for reasons unbeknownst. Sayid is being manhandled by a babe in a flak jacket (another Federal Marshall? Like Kate's? Necessary to 'recreate' the original circumstances??).
Off they go. Pilot comes on -- and I thought this was awesome-cool -- it's FRANK! As in Freighter Frank. Who's looking quite dapper with his beard shaved and hair cut.
Jack is AGAIN given Locke's note. Which this time, he reads: "Wish you'd've believed me."
Plane starts to jiggle. Lights flash. Barrel-roll. WHOOSHY TIMEWARP SOUND....
Island. Just as in the opening.
Hurley/Jack/Kate begin to look for Sayid/Sun.
A DharmaVan pulls up. Out jumps a uniformed dude with a shaggy haircut and a rifle.
eep.
It's Jin!
