A Spectrum

Sun gets call from Ji Yeon...Aww How cute? Ok now Mommy has to kill someone... Bye. Or at least threaten with a gun... But wait Ben tells her no one has killed Jin. He's still alive and he can prove it!

Jin's with the French science team trying to figure out what's going on? Wait, it's 1988. He needs to find camp. Maybe the helicopter went there.



Montand: "First a boat, then a helicopter, next he'll be talking about a submarine." HA. They decide to head to the radio tower. Nadine is missing. Given Nadia and Naomi's luck. I think her name means she's a goner. Jin hears the "Monster." Yep, smokey got Nadine.



And now he wants Montand. And we finally learn how he loses his arm.



Love the splooshing sound. So Smokey lives in the Temple, more hyroglyphs. But soon after he's pulled in, we hear him calling for help... Is it him? or is it a lure for the others? I don't think Montand would change his stripes so fast or smokey get him just inside and then let him go. Luckily, Jin convinces Danielle to stay out... FLASH!

It's sometime later. The arm is still there. Jin sees black smoke rising. I think Alex is about to enter the world...



Jin heads to the beach and finds the music box Sayid fixes for Danielle in Season 1. Two of the science team are goners. Robert and Danielle are arguing. He's not the same person. Mentions the security system. He tries to shoot Danielle but she shoots him instead. Perhaps their not the same person sickness is what happened to Claire at the end of last season. She was giving off a creepy vibe in the cabin. Danielle sees Jin. "You disappeared!" And then he does it again. FLASH! Do you think Danielle forgot Jin or was this the first time she saw him, as in she didn't see him the first time she went through these events? Oh, nevermind, it's too confusing.

Jin meets up with Saywer, Locke, etc. I was about to say and the others but we're already confused here... no need to add to it. ;) Saywer tries to explain the flashes to him. Jin wants a translation. Miles: "He's Korean. I'm from Encino." Charlotte reveals her language skills.

Ben tells Sun that someone in LA has proof and that this person can also get them back to the island. Kate and Sayid leave in a huff. They're not having anything to do with it.

Apparently, Charlotte can speak Klingon too. ;) FLASH! FLASH! Juliet and Sawyer get nosebleeds. Charlotte is down for the count. Tells Jin, "Don't let them bring her back." He takes it to mean Sun. Probably means something else, but who knows...

Ben throws a wonderful hissy fit. "What I am trying to do is help you!" I tend to think that's true only so far as it helps him too.



Charlotte starts babbling stuff from her past. "Turn it up. I love Gironamo Jackson." One of their albums was in the hatch. Hurley and Charlie listened to it. Locke also had a poster of them up in his locker in High School. Daniel stays with Charlotte. The rest head on to the orchid. Charlotte lets them know it's at the well. They arrive when the Orchid exists. Juliet: "What are the odds?" FLASH! It's now before it exists. Saywer: " You just had to say something."

Charlotte admits she grew up on the island but left with her Mom. Her mom always told her after that it didn't exist. She remembers this crazy man who used to scare her, told her to never come back to the island or she would die. She thinks it was Daniel.

Jin makes Locke promise not to bring Sun back. Gives wedding ring as proof of his death. Locke heads down the well. FLASH! Falls and breaks his leg. Sawyer is holding the rope now stuck in the ground. ;)

Daniel's mom can help. He sent Desmond to her. Charlotte dies anyway. Bummer.

Locke meets Christian Shepherd in well. (Who was the Christian Shepherd? Jesus? Hmmm) He lets Locke know HE was suppose to move the island. They need to all come back. He's to find Eloise Hawking too. If he dies, that's why it's a scarifice. For some reason, he can't help him up. The wheel is off axis. Maybe pushing it back will stop the flashes. Does that mean Saywer, Daniel, etc.. are now stuck pre-well? Perhaps four toed statue time...



Before Locke goes, Christian: "Say hello to my son." Locke: "Who's your son?" What's that about?



Ben and Co. arrive at Ellie's church. Before they go in he gives Sun Jin's ring. Locke didn't visit him but he visited Locke. She's now with them. Desmond appears. Ben seems taken aback.



And we go in to meet Ms. Hawking. She's ready to start. Lovely. Does she or Desmond recognize each other from the after hatch blow up meeting??? Whew...

Next up... "316" Well, 16 is one of the numbers. Perhaps it's the flight number of the plane that will take the O6 back to the island. Also, maybe a reference to a most famous bible verse, John 3:16....
