LOST: The Little Prince

And it's back to the Ocean Six. Well, most of them.

The fourth episode of Lost's fifth season brought these characters one step closer back to the island. Jack tried to convince Kate they had to go, while Kate followed the lawyer who threatened her (Angela Chase's dad!) to a hotel where the found... Claire Littleton's mother. It turns out, she knew nothing about the threat of a blood sample, and later Ben fessed up to sending the lawyer after Kate.

Meanwhile, Sun babysat Aaron (bad choice, Kate) and received a package in the form of a gun in a box of chocolate (sweet revenge! Get it?). By the end, she took Aaron with her in the car and looked like she might blow someone's head off.

Back on the island, the Losties left behind jumped around in time three different times. They went back to the night Boone died, Claire gave birth to Aaron and Locke was lit up by Desmond's hatch light. They went (forward?) to a time on their way to the Orchid where they got shot at in the water. And then they went back again to 1988, where Jin washed up on shore (he's alive!) and was rescued by a French crew led by... a young, preggers Danielle Rousseau.

My favorite part of this episode was Sawyer's view of Kate aiding Claire in birthing her son. It was like he was seeing Season One Ghosts, and it was a poignant moment when he realized interacting with Kate, as much as he wanted to, was not a good idea.

I think it's important that Charlotte was not the only one to suffer from Bloody Nose Syndrome. Miles got it too, and then Juliet. Are we to think that the amount of time one has spent on the island relates to how "sick" he/she gets from jumping around in time?

Next week will apparently focus on Sun and Jin's child, Ji Yeon. What do you think - is it weird that Sun has left her behind in Korea? Will she go back to the island without her? And is it Ben Sun is after, or Kate... or Jack? Talk amongst yourselves. A-
