We open with Jack and Kate from years ago (we know this because Jack's lame beard is gone)...It's right after they were rescued by Penelope...Kate tells Jack Claire was going to give Aaron up for adoption...This is where Kate decides to tell everyone that Aaron is hers...Jack's okay with this despite knowing that Kate is a convicted felon...Jack then gets Kate to go along with his "master"lie...The plan that will ultimately lead to the undoing of the island, and all of mankind, and what's left of my six brain cells...
Flash ahead to today...Kate is staying with Sun, who gets a delivery of a box of candy...Only it's not just candy, there's a gun hidden in the second row where the crappy dark chocolates usually are...Millions of people scream at their TVs, "Shoot me, Sun, put me out of my misery!!!!"
Juliette confronts Faraday about whether he knew this time warp thing was going to go down, and dragged innocents like the viewing audience into hell for no reason...He whispers something incoherent...Charlotte continues the world's longest nose bleed...Did the Dharma Initiative not have any tissues?
Kate confronts the people who want a DNA sample from Aaron...She demands to know who put them up to this...They say "neener neener we don't have to tell you" but in a real adult way...Kate says she needs to know who's doing this to her and her son, dammit!!
Back at the island, Locke tells Sawyer he has to bring the oceanic 6 back...Sawyer looks at him like he's crazy...But then he says "you want HER back don't you?" Sawyer gets wood.
Charlotte comes to and I notice somebody wiped her nose. But she has no clue who Faraday is. Neither do I.
Jack has taken Sayid to the hospital despite being suspended from medicine. Jack calls Hurley in lock up (who knew they had size XXXXXXXXL orange jump suits?). Hurley tells Jack Ben won't find him in the looney bin.
A strange visitor tries to kill Sayid, but the Iraqi strangles him with his IV line and asks who sent him. The guy says the address is in his pocket. Sayid then shoots him with a tranquilizer gun and gets the address, it's KATE'S!!!
Jack and Ben rush to get Kate and Sayid goes to get Hurley. They're going back to the island!!!
Back on the island, Locke steers the posse away from a strange light. I know this references a past show, but I'll be damned if I can remember what one.
Faraday asks Locke a great question for time travelers "Do you know WHEN we are?" Try asking that to your drunk friends this weekend, chances are they will punch you in the head.
Saywer stumbles upon Claire giving birth to Aaron with Kate's assistance. Clearly it's four years ago. Then the white light comes and takes them to another time. Sawyer wistfully tells Locke it doesn't matter what he saw because he ain't getting any tonight unless Locke wants to be the catcher.
Back in now, Kate compliments Jack for shaving the goofy beard. She tells Jack what's going down with all the DNA testing and what not. She tells Jack to get in the car because "she's gotta go" to follow the lawyer.
Locke presses for more info, but Sawyer twists it on him and asks "How come you know what time it is?" Locke's answer confuses Sawyer and me, but I'll pretend I know what it meant tomorrow at the water cooler.
Miles gets a mystery nose bleed but tells Faraday not to tell anyone else so as to save them a "freak out".
The island posse comes upon some outrigger canoes on the beach...They take them out on the ocean for some purpose unclear to me...Sawyer starts to reveal to Juliette what he saw in the jungle when someone starts shooting at them...Luckily a time warp comes and Sawyer yells "Thank the Lord", but the time warp takes them to a tropical storm in the flimsy outriggers in the ocean. "I take that back"...
Kate follows the lawyer to a hotel where she finds out it's Claire's mom who's responsible for seeking out the DNA test. This really isn't an "a-ha" moment, because for the first time, a chain of events on this show makes perfect logical sense. Your pregnant daughter is in a plane crash. Survivors are found, including a kid who would be the exact age as your daughter's kid, and it looks just like her. Yeah, I think I would order a DNA test too. Or at least try and get on the Maury Povich Show.
Jack says he'll go talk to Claire's mother and come clean about the whole situation. Keep in mind, Jack's father and Claire's mother were doing the nasty, resulting in Claire. Claire's mom knows nothing about the kid. (Creepy music sting). WTF???? I'm about to go Christian Bale at this point.
Ben is driving with Sayid in a van down by the river. I believe it's the MIX van and they're going out for a remote at a gas station. Ben meets with the nebulous lawyer that was seeking the DNA. He's also working with Ben to get Hurley out of the slammer. His master plan to get everyone back to the island is in full effect...
Back on the island, the posse comes across wreckage that has French writing on it...Juliette presses Sawyer to tell her about seeing Kate. (CUE WISTFUL NEW AGE MUSIC) Sawyer says he was close enough to touch her when he notices her nose is bleeding...Damn it. can we get some Kleenex please?...
Switch to some survivors floating in a life boat, they are speaking French (which leads one to believe they're tied in to Rousseau somehow)...They see some flotsom on the water...A body is floating on it...They get closer and turn him over ...It's JIN!!! Holy Hell!!! He's been floating in a different time!!! Or continually time travelling while half dead on a board...
back to today, Kate asks Jack why he came to her place...He tells her what's going on with Sayid and Hurley...She gets out to see Ben walking along the dock...Kate is stunned to learn that Jack is with Ben and they're together...Kate figures out that its Ben who's trying to take Aaron away from her...Sun pulls up in a car with Aaron, she has a gun...
Back on the island, the French quiz Jin about his origins, he notices the French girl is pregnant, she tells him her name is ROUSSEAU!!!! The music swells as if we didn't figure that one out already....
Things ar eplace for a kick ass reunion of everyone. Well, everyone except Eko, Paolo and Nikki. Those are characters that are never coming back because they were created before this show had a point, thus confusing us even further...
As always, love to hear your thoughts, and I'll be back again tomorrow wfter I watch the show again and let it all sink in...UNTIL THEN, HAPPY TIME TRAVELING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the light that Locke saw was when he was at the Hatch and Des turned on the lights on him. Then Locke thought it was the sign from the island that he needed to get in there.
I can't wait for the time jumping to die down. While I find it interesting, it's pretty annoying at times. Last week they spent most of the episode in one time but this week they jumped, what four times? And if they keep jumping, all of them are going to have Massive Nose Bleeds From Hell.
I still am loving this season and can't wait to see how everything pans out.
