Jack, the new protector of the island, meets with Locke and they go past the bamboo field with Desmond to visit the heart of the island.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen. This is the final episode of LOST. Let`s bring it home with an old school season one montage. No, not a montage — it`s an overture. We see the people we`ve come to care about over the last six seasons on the island and in the sideways — moments that reveal who they are… who they were… who they could`ve been. Back and forth. Character to character.

Jack is in his office at St. Sebastian looking at Locke`s x-ray. Then cut to Jack on the island kneeling by a stream, splashing water on his face. Newly anointed by Jacob.

Ben Linus at home in the sideways making a cup of tea. Then cut to Ben on the island, freaked out as he loads his rifle. He looks over his shoulder and sees –

Locke standing at the edge of the empty well focused on the rope someone used to help Desmond out. Cut to Locke in a hospital room lying on a gurney being prepped for surgery. As he`s wheeled out of the room, his eyes fix on his wheelchair in the corner.

LAPD Detective James Ford washing his hands and looking at his reflection in the broken mirror. Cut to Sawyer on the island checking the dressing on Kate`s gunshot wound.

“No one can tell you why you`re here, Kate. Certainly not me.”

WHOOOSH to Kate in Hurley`s Camaro in a black cocktail dress. Waiting. Desmond signs for the coffin and directs the Oceanic driver to unload it through the back church door. He gets in the Camaro, but Kate has had enough. He busts her out of jail, makes her put on the dress for some concert, and he won`t tell her why they`re there. Desmond interrupts her and says no one can tell her why she`s there. And he`s not talking about the church — he`s talking about here. Kate asks what he wants. Desmond says he`s her friend and all he wants is to leave. Where? Desmond says he`ll show her, and he drives off.

WHOOOSH to the island. Sawyer asks Jack if he`s the new Jacob. Jack nods and says he doesn`t feel any different. Jack explains to Kate, Hurley and Sawyer that beyond the bamboo forest near their old camp is the heart of the island. It`s a light, and he has to protect it. Hurley asks if Locke, or the smoke monster, wants to put the light out. Jack nods. And if he succeeds, then that`s it for all of them. Kate asks why he hasn`t done it yet, and Sawyer says because he doesn`t have Desmond. He tells Jack to go on to the bamboo forest and he`ll go get Desmond out of the well.

WHOOOSH to a seedy motel as Hurley pulls in and parks. He takes out a tranquilizer gun from the glove compartment and shows it to Sayid. None of this is ringing a bell? Sayid tells Hurley he`s insane. Hurley asks Sayid to wait there. If he sticks with Hurley, he`ll be happy he did.

Hurley gets out and walks up to a door. He knocks, and a drunk Charlie answers and tells Hurley to leave. He doesn`t care about the concert. Hurley asks what if he said playing at this concert tonight is the most important thing Charlie will ever do, would he come then? Charlie thinks a beat and then tells Hurley to sod off. Hurley apologizes and then shoots him with the tranq gun. At the Hummer, Sayid turns around as Hurley dumps Charlie`s body in the back. He asks what that was, and Hurley simply says Charlie.

“When you said you were going to destroy the island, I thought you were speaking figuratively.”

WHOOOSH to the well on the island as Sawyer arrives. Locke and Ben are there. Locke asks what Sawyer is doing there, and Sawyer says to rescue Desmond. He sees the rope and looks into the well. It`s empty. Looks like somebody beat them to it. Locke asks if Sawyer knows why he`s there, and Sawyer says he needs Desmond to destroy the island. Locke says he`s absolutely right. But he`s not going down with the ship like Jacob`s candidates are. Sawyer says they`re not candidates anymore. Locke reacts, understanding — right as Sawyer elbows Ben in the face, takes his rifle and backs away into the jungle. Ben turns to Locke and says when he said he was going to destroy the island he thought Locke was being figurative. Locke tells Ben he`s welcome to come with him on the boat. Because once he`s made Desmond do what he needs him to do, Locke is going to sail away from this place and watch it sink.

Cut to Desmond as he wakes up. Desmond is at Rose and Bernard`s camp. Rose explains they built it in 1975, lived there a couple of years, then the sky lit up again. God knows when they are now. She says she doesn`t mean to be rude, but once Desmond has eaten, she wants him to be on his way. They broke their rule for him — their rule that they don`t get involved. Whatever got Desmond thrown in the well is the drama that she and Bernard want nothing to do with.

But then Locke steps into their camp and tells Desmond to come with him right then or he`ll kill Rose and Bernard. Rose tells Desmond he doesn`t have to go anywhere with Locke. But Locke says he`ll make it hurt. Desmond makes Locke promise he won`t touch them ever. Locke promises, and Desmond says he`ll do whatever he wants.

At the barracks, Miles tries to radio Ben but can`t reach him. Miles has found Richard Alpert unconscious in the jungle and he`s okay. Alpert wakes up and asks if Miles still has the C-4. Miles says yeah and asks why. Alpert says they need to go to Hydra island to finish what they started. They need to blow up that plane.

WHOOOSH to the museum backstage area as Miles parks his car and starts towards the VIP entrance when he suddenly sees Sayid in the passenger seat of Hurley`s Hummer. He stops to get a better look, but Hurley drives off. Miles pulls out his cell phone and makes a few calls. Cut to Detective James Ford at his desk. Miles tells him he thinks he just saw Jarrah. There was only one witness left alive at the crime scene. A Korean woman with a gunshot wound. James says she`s still at the hospital and will go keep her safe.

At the hospital, Juliet comes into Sun and Jin`s room. She`s there to check on the baby. They look at her blankly, and she realizes they don`t speak English. Juliet indicates the ultrasound machine and the jelly she needs to rub on Sun`s stomach. Sun pulls up her gown… and as Juliet applies the jelly, something starts happening to Sun. Juliet places the ultrasound wand on Sun`s belly — and FLASH! Sun sees herself and Juliet in the medical station on the island as Juliet performs the ultrasound.

FLASH! Sun blinks. She turns to Jin and says she remembers. Juliet smiles and says there`s their baby. Sun and Jin turn to the monitor — and FLASH! Quick moments of Sun and Jin on the island, then — FLASH! Jin reacts, and a dawning realization crosses Sun`s face. She asks if Jin saw, and he can only nod. They are overcome with emotion.

WHOOOSH to the island as Locke, Desmond and Ben trek to the bamboo forest. As they enter a clearing, they see Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley on the other side. Suddenly — BANG! BANG! BANG! Kate strides towards Locke firing slugs into his chest. You killed them, she screams. Locke is completely unharmed. He suggests she save her bullets and turns his attention to Jack. So it`s him. Jack says yeah, it`s him. Locke expected to be surprised. Jack is the obvious choice, isn`t he? Jack says he volunteered. Locke assumes Jack is there to stop him, but Jack says he can`t stop him. He wants to go with him. He knows Locke is heading for the far side of the bamboo forest because he thinks he can destroy the island, but Jack isn`t going to let that happen. Jack is going to kill Locke. Locke asks how he plans to do that, but Jack says it`s a surprise. Locke is undaunted and says okay, let`s get on with it. They`ll see which one is right.

“If I can fix you, Mr. Locke, that`s all the peace I`ll need.”

WHOOOSH to St. Sebastian hospital. Jack checks in with Locke before they start the anesthesia to see if he`s okay. Locke asks if this will work, and Jack says he`s confident it will. There`s a chance that Jack could kill him, but he`s trying to make him feel better. And it`s a rare joke from Jack as he cracks a smile. Locke smiles and says let`s do it. Then he asks Jack if they ever found his father`s coffin. Jack says he got a call from Oceanic that morning. It might even already be in LA. Locke hopes it gives him some peace. Jack says if he can fix Locke, that`s all the peace he needs.

Out in the hallway, Jack runs into Juliet and David. Jack has their tickets for the concert that evening — and we realize Juliet is David`s mom! That means Jack and Juliet were married in the sideways. Jack suggests they give his ticket to Claire. Juliet says sure. She`s curious to meet this mysterious sister of Jack`s. Jack tells Juliet she`ll love Claire — she`s very pregnant. Juliet smiles and wishes Jack good luck for the surgery.

WHOOOSH to Miles and Alpert as they reach the Dharma docks and untie an outrigger. Thunder rumbles, and Alpert says it`s going to be a hell of a storm. Miles notices something on Alpert and says welcome to the club. Miles reaches up and plucks a hair off Alpert`s head. Alpert got his first grey hair. Alpert reacts, emotional, realizing what it means and that he wants to live.

“In case you didn`t notice? I`m a pilot.”

They get in the outrigger and paddle across towards Hydra island. Suddenly, they hit something and Miles reacts. It`s the sub`s captain. Then they hear someone shouting for help. They look over and see Frank Lapidus clinging to life preservers from the sub. Lapidus explains what happened and asks what they are doing. Alpert tells him they`re stopping Locke from leaving the island by blowing up the plane. Lapidus asks them why they`d want to do that? If they leave, Locke won`t have a plane anymore. Alpert asks how they`re gonna do that? Lapidus says they`ll fly it off this damn island. In case they didn`t notice, he`s a pilot.

“Jack, I believe in you, dude.”

As Jack`s group treks through the jungle, Sawyer asks Jack what his surprise is for Locke. Jack says Desmond. He thinks Desmond is a weapon. They reach the edge of the bamboo forest, and Locke says it should be just Jack, Desmond and him. Jack agrees, and before he leaves, Hurley tells Jack that he believes in him.

“I think you`re a good guy, Sayid. I know a lot of people have told you that you`re not… Maybe you`ve heard it so many times that you started believing it. But you can`t let other people tell you what you are, dude. You have to decide for yourself.”

WHOOOSH to a street outside a bar where Hurley and Sayid wait. Sayid wants to know what they`re doing there, and Hurley tells him to trust him. The doors burst open as a fight spills out into the street. A woman rushes out trying to stop it, yelling not to hurt her brother. She pulls her brother away, but this makes the bigger guy angry and he backhands her. Sayid doesn`t even think — he is out of the Hummer and across the street. He grabs the bigger guy`s arm and drops him with a quick combo. He then crosses over to the woman to help her up, and it`s Shannon! The moment they touch — FLASH! A quick cacophony of images of the two of them from the island. FLASH! They stare in amazement, recognizing each other and falling into each others` arms.

WHOOOSH on the island as Miles tries again to reach Ben on the walkie. This time Ben answers. Ben tells Miles not to blow up the plane — Locke is going to destroy the island. Miles says Lapidus is going to fly the plane off the island, so everyone needs to get over there now. But then Claire steps out firing her rifle. Worried, Kate shouts into the walkie asking what`s happening. Claire is afraid Locke sent them to kill her. Alpert explains they`re not with Locke, but Claire doesn`t believe them. Alpert says they have a chance to get off the island and go home, and he invites her to come with them. Claire considers it but then says no and walks away.

“There are no shortcuts. No do-overs. What happened, happened. Trust me. I know. All of this matters.”

Locke leads Jack and Desmond to the stream that runs underground into the heart of the island. Desmond tells Jack that none of this matters. When he goes down into the light, he`ll be in a place where everyone they`ve ever lost is alive again. A place where they can be with the ones they love and not have to ever think about the island again. Jack is there and seemed happy. They met on Oceanic 815, and it never crashed. Maybe Desmond can find a way to bring Jack to that place. Jack shakes his head and says there are no do-overs. What happened, happened.

“You disrespect his memory by wearing his face, but you`re nothing like him. Turns out he was right about almost everything. I just wish I could`ve told him that while he was still alive.”

Locke secures a rope to a tree and ties the other end around Desmond. They wade into the alcove and begin lowering Desmond over the rushing waterfall into the light. Locke asks Jack if it reminds him of anything — Desmond going down into a hole in the ground, and maybe if there`s a button there they could fight over pushing, it`ll be just like old times. Jack turns to the thing in back of him and says he`s not John Locke and he disrespects Locke`s memory by wearing his face. Locke turns out to have been right about almost everything. And Jack wishes he could`ve said that to him while he was alive. But the Man in Black tells Jack that Locke was dead wrong. And when the island drops into the ocean and Jack along with it, Jack will finally realize it. Jack is undaunted and says they`ll have to see which one is right. Then suddenly the rope goes slack. Desmond has reached the bottom.

WHOOOSH to the concert check-in area. Juliet, David and Claire are at the front check-in area when Juliet receives a text on her phone. It`s the hospital. David understands and tells her to go ahead. Juliet promises to come back as soon as she can.
