“He changed the rules.”
Well, I don’t know what the rules were before, but apparently, they did not include murder. And apparently, all bets are off on that account.

Alex is shoved down on her knees. A hand reaches in and yanks her blindfold off. Alex finds herself staring at the sonic fence surrounding the barracks. A voice orders her to turn it off and shoves a gun into Alex’s neck. Alex enters a code, and they continue forward.

Locke holds a group meeting in his house and promises there will be no more secrets. He brought Miles with him, and Miles tells the group that he was hired for one reason: find Benjamin Linus.

On the freighter, Keamy checks in with Lapidus and asks if he’s ready. Lapidus says he’ll be ready. Keamy warns him not to be late. Lapidus continues below where he runs into Regina, who is standing guard outside sick bay, where Sayid and Desmond are.

Juliet gets a surprising visit from someone from her past. She is given orders to stop Charlotte and Faraday from doing what they have set out to do. Back at the Barracks, Ben offers Locke an enticing deal.

As Sayid, Desmond and Frank head towards the freighter, they experience some major turbulence.
Is Desmond able to time travel? If you remember that bizarre season three episode, Desmond time traveled back to Penny. Apparently, in this episode Desmond’s ability will take him back to a place where Daniel Faraday is a Physics professor.

Kate goes to Sawyer for help with getting Miles a minute alone with Ben.
When Miles meets up with Ben, he blackmails Ben for $3.2 million! In exchange, Miles agreed to tell his employers that Ben is dead.

Who are the Oceanic 6? So far we know it’s Jack, Kate and Hurley – but we’ll learn who the fourth is during this episode. Any guesses? This one is almost too easy – it’s Sayid!

As the four “rescuers” arrive on the island, Jack and Kate begin to wonder whether they are really there to rescue them or if they have a more sinister plan.
