JOURNEY TO RADIO TOWER

Previously on LOST

A woman named Naomi parachuted onto the island from a helicopter that crashed into the ocean. Her helicopter took off from a freighter 80 nautical miles west of the island. She has a satellite phone, which could contact the freighter, but the signal is being jammed.

The Losties are tipped off that Ben and the others are planning to kidnap three pregnant women from the beach camp for fertility testing.

Juliet has joined the Losties at the beach camp. She tells the Losties that Ben is using the underwater Dharma station Looking Glass to jam signals from the island.

Background- Radio Tower Journey

The Losties plan on using Naomi’s satellite phone to contact her freighter for rescue. To do this they must not only disable the Looking Glass, but also turn off Rousseau’s distress signal at the radio tower.

Charlie and Desmond will use a Kayak to reach and disable the Looking Glass, while most of the group travel to the radio tower.

Rather than continue to try and hide from the Others, Jack’s plan is to rig three beach tents with explosives and kill the Others as they try to kidnap the three pregnant Losties. Sayid, Bernard, and Jin stay behind to detonate the explosives using guns.

Karl, using a kayak to save time, leaves the ‘Others’ tent camp to warn the Losties that Ben’s schedule to invade the beach camp has changed and will happen with in hours rather then the next day.

Sayid, Bernard, and Jin stay at the beach to detonate the explosive laden tents, while Rousseau leads the rest of the Losties to the radio tower.

Charlie and Desmond use the kayak to locate the Looking Glass, which is tethered to the beach by the cable Sayid located earlier. Charlie knocks Desmond unconscious and enters the Looking Glass alone. Greta and Bonnie hold Charlie captive. Bonnie calls Ben, who sends Mikhail to the Looking Glass to kill Charlie, Greta, and Bonnie.

Ben’s men approach the tents and two of three tents explode, killing seven of the 10 men. The remaining three take Sayid, Bernard, and Jin captive. Bernard, under duress, tells Ben about Karl, Naomi, and the radio tower journey via walkie-talkie.

Mikhail arrives at the beach adjacent to the Looking Glass and starts shooting at Desmond, who is still unconscious on the kayak. Desmond comes to and jumps into the water and secretly enters the Looking Glass.

Mikhail enters the Looking Glass and kills Greta, and Bonnie before Desmond shoots a spear through his chest. Bonnie tells Charlie the code to disable the Looking Glass before she dies.

An incoming transmission from Penelope Widmore alerts Charlie that she is unaware of Naomi or the freighter. Mikhail detonates a grenade, which floods the Charlie’s cabin. Charlie commits suicide, but warns Desmond that the freighter is not Penny’s.

Ben and Alex intercept the Losties. Ben tells Jack that Naomi is not who she claims to be and that if Jack contacts the freighter ”every single living person on this island will be killed”.

JOURNEY TO THE FLAME/BARRACKS TO RESCUE JACK

Previously on LOST

Day 45- Michael, Sawyer, Jin, and Walt attempt to leave the island on a raft. The others intercept them, kidnap Walt, shoot Sawyer in the shoulder, and then blow up the raft, assuming the Fusies would drown. Michael, Sawyer and Jin are able to use remnants of their raft to float back to the island.Day 49- Ben and Juliet are inside the Pearl. Juliet tells Ben that Shepard will never do the surgery. Ben tells Juliet that he will do what he always does- “ I will exploit his emotional investments”. Juliet asks,” So we grab all three of them, Ford (Sawyer) and Austin (Kate) too?” Ben- “No, we get them to come to us using Michael”.Day 66/67- Michael, compromised by the ‘Others’, lead Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley into an ambush. Jack, Kate, and Sawyer are forcibly taken to a smaller island. Michael is given a boat, reunited with Walt, and told to travel at a 305 bearing where he will “find rescue”. Hurley is allowed to leave and returns to the beach camp. On the smaller island, Kate and Sawyer are caged, while Jack performs spinal surgery on Ben in the Hydra station. Kate and Sawyer escape the small island using a kayak, aided by Alex and Karl (Karl travels with them). Kate and Sawyer return the beach camp, as Karl returns to the smaller island and Alex using the kayak.Day 72- Mr. Echo succumbs to injuries sustained by the smoke monster. As Locke is burying Mr. Echo, the sunlight reflects the carving “Lift up your eyes and look north - John 3:05” on Mr. Echo’s prayer stick. Locke takes this as a sign from the island.

Background of rescuing Jack

Kate, upon returning to the beach camp from Hydra, immediately tries to rescue Jack. Kate

discards her promise to Jack not to try and save him, and figures her best chance is to recruit Rousseau, as she must have intimate knowledge of the island. Kate figures the best way to locate Rousseau is to revisit the location her and Jack were caught by Rousseau in a rock fall snare. It’s not clear what Kate’s plan was, as she could not know that the Others had abandoned the Hydra and returned to the Barracks. Why Kate thought she could rescue Jack while on the main island is perplexing. As far as Kate knew, Jack was still on the smaller island, two miles off the coast of the main island.

Sayid and Locke track Kate and find her as just as Kate locates Rousseau. Kate tells Locke and Sayid that she is attempting to find Jack, and doesn’t expect them to help her. Locke informs Kate that he has the key to finding Jack. Locke tells her that the key is the compass setting of 305, which is what he saw on Mr. Echo’s prayer stick (“Lift up your eyes and look north - John 3:05”)

Mikhail tells the group the do not have the ability to understand why people would want to return to the island based on the fact that they are not on the list. He tells them they are not on the list because they are flawed, they are angry, weak, and frightened.

On their way to the barracks, the group approaches a network of pylons that act as a security perimeter around the barracks. They form a sonic barrier. Locke throws Mickail into the barrier, and Mickail appears to die after convulsions (Later we learn Mickail lived because the barrier was not set to kill)
