What Happened On Lost: Eggtown

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!

Yeah, it was a shocker all right. And there was one more thing that I missed! When Jack was testifying he said the 8 people survived the crash...but they are called the Oceanic 6! What happened to the other two? WHO are the other two? And next weeks looks pretty shocking too. Can't wait!
