 Desmond brings Hurley and Charlie to a secret meeting with Locke and
Sayid.Locke tells them Eko died, that he was killed by the
"island."Locke doesn't want to cause a panic in the camp and needs
their help keeping the calm.
Suddenly,
Desmond takes off running back to camp.He sprints to the ocean and
dives in.Charlie, Hurley, Sayid and Locke follow and see someone in the
water.The person Desmond saves is - Claire! Desmond brings her back to
the beach and resuscitates her.
Charlie demands to know how he
knew she was drowning, and Hurley tells him Desmond can see the
future.Charlie is disturbed by Desmond's behavior.He doesn't buy
Hurley's precognitive theory and plans to get Desmond drunk to get the
truth.
They offer him whiskey from Sawyer's stash.They get good
and drunk, but Desmond won't talk.Charlie calls him a coward.Enraged,
he attacks Charlie, screaming they don't want to know what happened
when he turned that key.We WHOOOSH back to the final moments of the
hatch ripping apart as Desmond frantically climbs down to the fail safe
switch, inserts the key and turns it - FWOOOM!
In a room.Of his flat.In London.But it's not blood - it's
paint.Disoriented, Desmond tries to get his bearings.A woman runs to
his side to help him - it's Penny! She's moving in with him, and he
fell off the ladder while painting the room.Desmond's happy to see her
but can't shake the feeling something's wrong&
Later,
Penny helps Desmond with his tie.She tells him he doesn't have to go to
the job interview with her father, but Desmond insists.He wants
Widmore's respect.Then& Beep.Beep.Beep.A sound so hauntingly
familiar of a time pushing a button every 108 minutes& Desmond
tenses but is drawn to it.He follows it to the kitchen - where Penny
stops the beeping.It was just the microwave heating his tea.However
Desmond can't help feeling a strange moment of déjà vu.
At
Widmore Industries, Desmond checks in with the receptionist.A delivery
man walks up and says he has a package for 815.Desmond reacts, sees
flashes of a computer, an execute key, and the numbers 4& 8&
15& He can't shake the feeling those numbers mean something to him.
