Dimly lit room. Someone enters. Starts poking around. Shifts through an old Life Magazine. Some charts of the island skipping around.
It's Caesar, the guy who was sitting next to Hurley on the Ajira flight to not-Guam. He's poking around a Dharma station.
He finds a sawed-off shotgun and places it in his pack. Chick enters -- we don't know who this is -- and questions what he's found. He lies; it's a flashlight.
Caesar's going to get along just fine on Craphole.
She tells him they've found someone on the beach in a suit, someone who was not on de-plane, de-plane.
It's Locke, of course, back from the dead.
We see his journey: After moving the Island's Big Wheel, Locke is dumped in Tunesia (thank you, titlecards), same as Benry was when he played timeline roulette. His leg is still horribly broken, and he lays there, dying.
Camera picks him up and, after dark, a rescue party is sent. They scoop him up and administer (rather primative) medical care to set the leg.
And the puppetmaster on all this? Why it's Widmore, of course!!
They figure out all the time-skip stuff, with Widmore telling Locke that they first met when he (Widdy) was 17. He tells Locke that nothing Ben said was trustworthy. That he needs to put his faith in him (Widdy). And that, yes, he's got to return to the island. Blah-de-blah.
He's given an escort/driver/concierge. It's the Hatian Sensation from HEROES in a freaky TV drama crossover!! No. But that's what I originally thought. It's really Abaddon. With a new ID and a sackload of cash, the two set off to gather the O6 and return them to where they belong.
And here's where things get a little dull -- We know from last week that eventually they all decide to go. So all this hand-wringing is a little stupid.
But Sayid says no. He's happy building homes in Santo Domingo in a Habitat-for-Humanity-style organization.
Walt isn't even asked, but it's good to see him. Points, off, though, for him not even ASKING about Vincent. And Locke falls short of telling him that his dad is dead. Not sure why...
Kate? No. Hurley? No. Jack. REALLY NO!
Jack and Locke meet in the hospital, after Locke has been creamed in a car crash (this guy really does have nine lives). Locke was escaping a sniper attack that took out Abaddon and that made me gasp.
Finally, after being told for the 295th time that he really ISN'T special, as Benry and Widmore have been preaching, Locke decides he's had enough. In a ratty hotel, he decides to take his own life (as we knew he would)...
But -- WOW, WHAT A TWIST -- Benry comes in just at the last second to save him.
Except that once he gets Locke to reveal the name of Eleanor Hawking (telling him that ONE of the O6, Jack, has bought the story enough to buy a plane ticket to Sydney), Benry kills Locke himself, making it look as if he went ahead w/his plan for asphyxiation.
Back on the island, Caesar and Locke talk, and it's all resurrection chatter and time travel innuendo. Caesar tells Locke that there's someone ELSE there who wasn't on the manifest.
It's Ben!
WHOOSHSHSHSHSHSH!
