Tonight’s episode on the hit ABC series LOST was called The Constant and is a Desmond centric episode.

This is a continuation of our series on the hit ABC series LOST. If you missed the first three installments, check here. Get caught up on previous seasons of LOST.

This week we rejoin Sayid (Naveen Andrews) and Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) that made it off the island in the helicopter with Frank and Naomi’s body. As they are flying to the freighter Sayid (Naveen Andrews) becomes worried as they appear to be heading into a thunderstorm but Frank reassures Sayid that everything will be ok.

Back on the beach, Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Jack (Matthew Fox) confront Charlotte and Faraday about why they aren’t worrying about how long its taking the helo to get to the freighter. Daniel tells Jack and Juliet that time doesn’t exactly work the same way on the island as it does in the rest of the world…so they shouldn’t worry. What the crap!?! All Frank has to do is keep the course Daniel gave him and all will be fine, otherwise…there may be side-effects.

Back on the helo it appears Desmond is experiencing some of those side effects. As they land on the freighter he says he know none of them and that he’s not supposed to be there. A couple of the freighters take him to the sick bay to see the doctor.

As his condition worsens we find out that he’s not having flashbacks as much as he is traveling in time between his military time in 1996 and the present. Des talks to Daniel back on the beach and Daniel figures out what going on so he tells Desmond to head for the train station and go to Oxford to find the 1996 Daniel.

Back on the ship, Desmond meets George Minkowski, the communications officer from the ship. (What was the name of the guy Hugo went to see in Australia?) Anyway, Minkowski is tied up and being sedated because he appears to be having the same time flashes as Desmond.

1996 Daniel tells Desmond he needs to find a constant, something or someone what is in both time periods that will ground him…give him an anchor. Of course, he chooses Penny.

Minkowski tells Sayid and Desmond that the others on the freighter have destroyed the radio equipment on the ship so they head to the radio room to fix it. While there Minkowski has an aneurysm…and dies. Just as Desmond’s nose begins to bleed.

So as Desmond is time jumping back and forth he’s meeting with Penny’s dad and ultimately Penny herself. He begs her for a phone number he can use to call her eight years later on December 24th, 2004. Sayid gets the phone working and hands the phone off to Desmond…SHE ANSWERS!!! (Yeah, we like her!) She still loves him and has been looking for him for the last three years. She knows about the island but static cuts them off as they both promise each other to never stop looking for each other. This appears to have quelled Desmond’s time jumps.

Back on the beach Daniel is looking through his journal and finds a note he wrote to himself…that Desmond Hume would be his constant if anything ever went wrong.

Next week, The Other Woman, a Juliet centric episode!

Man-Oh-Man!! Or should I say Kate-Oh-Kate. Tonight’s episode is Kate centric and a VERY interesting twist in the story line.

This is a continuation of our series on the hit ABC series LOST. If you missed the first three installments, check here.

As we rejoin our losties and freighters on the island, Locke still has Ben and is holding him prisoner in the basement of a house at the Barracks. Locke continues to ask who the mole is on the freighter and Ben continues to refuse to tell him who it is or why they’re looking for Ben and the island.

Meanwhile, Claire (Emilie de Ravin) and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) have an opportunity to chat about babies (interesting and important in just a bit!).

Kate keeps after Locke about Miles’ whereabouts but, as usual, Locke is pretty tight lipped. But that won’t keep Kate down will it! Nope, she work Hurley over to find out that Miles is in the boathouse…and off she goes.

Miles is cagey as ever. He blows off Kate’s questions and says he will continue until Kate gets him a meeting with Ben! So Kate sweet talks Sawyer (Josh Holloway) into occupying Locke so she can get Miles and Ben together where Ben confirms that he knows who Miles is and why he is there (although he doesn’t see fit to share that info with us!).

Miles then goes to work extorting $3.2 million in exchange for telling “everyone” that Ben is dead because he know who Ben really is! (What the crap?) And then…Ben agrees!!!

Apparently in exchange for keeping up her end of the deal, Miles answers Kate’s question: Yes, the freighters know about who she is and her record!

Locke finds out what Kate has done and bans her from his team. Oooooo….

Kate and Sawyer finally pick up where Sawyer left off last week when he asked Kate to stay on the island and start a new life with him…so of course Kate and Sawyer have sex! And how does she seal the deal? She tells Sawyer that she might be pregnant! Well…that doesn’t sit well with James and they break up (for good?). Hows that for some hot pillow talk!?

Meanwhile, back at Team Shephard… the helo that took off at the end of last week’s episode with Sayid and others still hasn’t arrived at the freighter. The Jack (Matthew Fox), the remaining islanders and Regina (on the freighter) are gettin a little worried. We however shouldn’t worry because we’ve already seen Sayid in a flash forward…so we know he makes it! Duh.

And in the flash forward…

Kate is arrested for the murder of her step-father…again! (remember the dude in Australia?) We see her getting out of a town car on her way into a courthouse, presumably for the trial. There are lots of reporters and cameras and protesters there to greet her (wow, her very own protesters!).

In the court, Kate is denied bail. Her lawyer want to yank at the jury’s heartstrings by bringing in KATE’S SON!!! Kate very clearly doesn’t want that so instead he calls Jack to the stand. Jack’s version of the “truth” has Kate being the heroine that saved the Oceanic 6 all on her own! After an emotional moment with Kate’s mom in the courtroom (didn’t she die in one of the flashbacks?) Kate makes a deal for 10 years of probation and walks.

Jack (Matthew Fox) is waiting on Kate (Evangeline Lilly) as she leaves the court. After some awkwardness there are a couple of smiles. Despite Kate showing some romantic interest in Jack there is another guy in her life now…someone who was on the plane…and didn’t have a ticket! Jack turns down her offer to come with her because of her son and help her into a cab (hey, what happened to the town car?) and he watches as she drives away.

We then see Kate arrive at home and cuddle her 3 or 4 year old “son”…Aaron, whom she is raising.

Wow!
