Exodus Part 2


 

 The second part of the season finale picks up with Claire’s baby being cranky on the beach.  Claire complains to Charlie that she can’t handle being a mom.  Sayid gathers everyone to go to the caves for safety.  Charlie asks Sayid for a gun for safety for Claire and the baby in case The Others come.  Sayid tells Charlie to take her and the baby to the caves with everyone else.  Meanwhile in the jungle Hurley asks how the ship got into the jungle.  Arzt says a tsunami might have blown it there.  Danielle, having got them to the ship, leaves but Jack wants to know how they will get back to the hatch without her.  Locke says he can lead them back.

 


Jack, Kate, and Locke go into the Black Rock and find human remains.  Locke guesses that the Black Rock was a slave ship.  Kate finds a marked trunk containing the dynamite.  Arzt talks to Hurley and says he knows he isn’t cool enough for his little click.  Arzr complains about Kate getting favoritism, Jin not catching fish for him, and Hurley not having lost weight since crashing on the island.  Hurley tells him it’s all in his head.  Arzt shits a brick when he sees Jack and Locke carrying out the trunk containing the dynamite.  He carefully wraps the explosives in Kate’s wet shirt as he explains how dangerous it is.  He then blows up.  Hurley reacts with a classic Hurley “Dude.”.

 


Airport security allows Sayid to go catch his flight.  Jin, in the airport bathroom, meets an American who speaks Korean. He tells Jin that he also works for Mr. Paik.  He tells Jin he knows Jin is planning to run away from his boss once he gets to California.  He continues by telling Jin he will not get away.  He says Jin will never be free.

 

 

On the raft Michael and Sawyer see how big the island really is.  Sawyer sings some Bob Marley and Michael approves.  Back on the beach Sayid helps Shannon with her things which also include some of Boone’s things.  Sayid comforts Shannon and helps her carry some of her stuff.  In the jungle Hurley and Kate talk about Artz blowing up.  Hurley tells Kate it is his fault because he is bad luck.  Kate tells him it was an accident.  Jack and Locke wrap more dynamite.  They can’t even agree on how to do that, and it ends with Locke scaring Jack.  Jack asks if Locke likes to play games and Locke says yes.

 


Danielle makes it back to the beach and says she needs to find Sayid.  Charlie goes off after him leaving Claire and the baby with Danielle.  When Danielle asks to hold the baby, Claire remembers it was she that made the scratch marks on Danielle’s arms.

 

 

Charlie wakes up the morning of the flight with some floozy he spent the night with on a bender.  He tells her he doesn’t have any more drugs so she kicks his ass, but Charlie doesn’t let her have the drugs.  She takes a bottle of booze instead and leaves the hotel room.

 

 

Charlie finds Sayid and they hear Sun calling for help.  They find Claire with a bleeding head wound and the baby gone.  Charlie blames Sayid and punches him.  Sayid tells Charlie not to hit him again and the two of them will go look for Danielle and the baby.  In the jungle, Jack and Locke agree not to take more dynamite than they need.  The plan is to divide the dynamite between two backpacks that way if one person doesn’t make it; meaning blows up like Arzt, maybe the other one will.  Jack says he will take a backpack, and Locke says he will take one.  Kate says she is taking one, so they decide to pull sticks for it.  Jack is the odd man out.  Hurley tells Jack he has a little Arzt on him.  A funny scene my description doesn’t do it justice.
 


 

Back on the raft Sawyer reads the messages in the bottle and wonders who Hugo is and how does he have a hundred and sixty million dollars.  He also can’t keep straight who is still alive Steve or Scott.  Scott’s the dead one by the way.  Claire tells Charlie and Sayid she is going with them to look for Danielle.  Sayid suggests that Danielle is looking to trade her daughter for Claire’s baby.  Claire tells Sayid not to tell her what to do.  Claire tells Charlie to bring Aaron back.  The kid finally has a name.  Charlie tells her they will get him back.
 


At the airport Walt isn’t talking to Michael who goes to make a call.  He calls his mother and asks her to take Walt.  While he’s on the phone we see Locke get wheeled by.  Michael tells his mother that Walt was never supposed to be his.  Walt may or may not have overheard him and tells Michael he needs batteries for his hand held video game.

 


On the raft Michael lets Walt steer the raft for a little while.  Walt asks why Michael didn’t stay with his mom.  He says that they tried to work things out, but his mom took off and that’s why Walt didn’t see him for a long time.  Walt figures it out that maybe it wasn’t all his father’s fault and that his mom was wrong.  The rudder breaks off and Sawyer jumps into the ocean to retrieve it.  As the rudder begins to sink Michael and Jin throw a rope for Sawyer to tie around the rudder.  They pull both the rudder and Sawyer back to the raft.  Michael finds the gun that Jack gave to Sawyer and gives it back.

 


Jack and his group head back to the hatch with the dynamite.  They make sure to stagger their formation so only one person gets blown up if things go wrong.  The rest of the survivors gather at the caves.  Shannon looks at the makeshift bed Boone died on.  Sun says Boone died bravely.  Sun asks Shannon if this is all a punishment for not living good lives.  Shannon asks who is punishing them.  Sun guesses fate.  Claire says there is no such thing as fate.  Sayid and Charlie make their way towards the black smoke.  They rest near the Nigerian drug plane.  Sayid tells Charlie that the plane was loaded with heroin.  Charlie stares at the broken Virgin Mary statue seeing the little baggies of heroin.

 


On the way back to the hatch Hurley asks Locke what he thinks is inside the hatch.  Locke asks Hurley what he thinks might be inside.  After giving a laundry list of things that ends with Twinkies Locke agrees that he likes Twinkies too.  Hurley asks Locke what he really thinks is inside and Locke says he thinks that hope is inside.  A large bird takes off from a tree in the jungle and Hurley comments that whoever named the place the dark territory was a genius.
