Tonight’s episode on the hit ABC series LOST was called Ji Yeon and is a Sun & Jin centric episode.
This is a continuation of our series on the hit ABC series LOST. If you missed the previous installments, check here. If the whole LOST thing isn’t making much sense to you, you can get caught up on previous seasons of LOST here.
We open this episode by rejoining our losties on the freighter. Desmond awakes locked in the sickbay of the Kahana with Sayid (Naveen Andrews). Sayid is already working on his breakfast from a can as they see a note being tossed into the room (Ben’s man on the boat?). The note reads, “Don’t trust the Captain”.
When Desmond and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) do meet Captain Gault, they start to get a pretty good idea of the freighter’s mission. The Captain shows them the flight data recorder (the black box) from flight 815 (obviously fake because the real one is on the island with the actual wreckage) and tells them it was “obtained” by charles Widmore (Penny’s dad). He goes on to repeat the story told to the rest of the world about the wreckage being found in the Sunda Trench with 324 dead bodies aboard. Even the captain seems a bit awestruck by someone who would have the power to fake such a thing.
Remember, we learned last week in The Other Woman that the freighter controlled by Mr. Widmore who also bought the First Mate’s diary from the Black Rock and who, according to Ben, has been looking for the island for years. Apparently he knows a lot more about this island that we think. He also sponsored the boat race that got Desmond lost…was he doing so hoping one of the entries would find the island?
We see Sun and Jin sitting by the fire where Jin wants to talk about names for the baby. If it’s a girl he wants to name her “Ji Yeon”. Sun doesn’t want to think about (perhaps because she has been told by Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) that she will not carry the baby to term and will die). Sun says it’s a beautiful name and doesn’t want to jinx the baby. They make a deal to get of the Island first, before discussing it further.
Kate (Evangeline Lilly) tells Sun and Jin about Charlotte hitting her on the head. She explains that Charlotte and Daniel have turned of the poison gas factory and deactivated the gas, gaining some brownie points. She also says that Juliet lied about the Tempest being a power station, “probably out of habit”. Finally she reveals that the freighter-people have talked about a lot of things, but that none involved rescuing them.
We find Jin making breakfast and Jack (Matthew Fox)compliments him on how his English has improved. Jin tells Jack that Sun and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) have been teaching him…but Sun is the better teacher. Sun comes running up and pauses at the sight of Jack. Jack asks her about how she is doing and Sun says that the morning sickness has stopped. When Jack leaves them, Sun tells Jin to pack food for two days…they are moving to Locke’s group.
Kate (Evangeline Lilly) draws a map for Jin and Sun to Locke’s barracks and tells them that after giving them a good head start, she will have to tell Jack (Matthew Fox) that they have left. Sun and Kate agree that Jack wouldn’t understand why they are leaving. As they are saying goodbye, they are interrupted by Juliet who tries to stop Sun from leaving. She tells Jin that Sun is very sick and will die within three weeks if she doesn’t leave the island. Sun has made up her mind though and Jin says: “Where Sun go, I go”. In a last ditch effort to stop her, Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) tells Jin that Sun had an affair…well, that tactic worked, but Sun did get a good slap in on Juliet.
After a little calming time Jin comes back around settles down…and makes dinner for Sun. He forgives her and they make up. During Jin’s absence Juliet successfully convinces Sun to stay and protect the baby.
We also see a new “flash” device this week…not flash backs…not flash forward…but BOTH! Ultimately we find out that Sun is flashing forward and Jin is flashing back. In one of Sun’s flashes forward we find out that she is one of the Oceanic 6 (joining Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid). We also see in one of her flashes that she has a little girl.
Back on the freighter after Sayid and Desmond talk with the Captain, they are taken to new digs…digs that are still soiled by the apparent suicide shot to the head of its previous occupant. The doc who showed them the way calls over Kevin Johnson to clean it up and as he emerges out of the shadows we see that Kevin Johnson is none other than Michael!
And the at the very end Another Shoe Drops! Hurley visits Sun after the baby is born in Korea and they go to visit Jin…in the cemetery! JIN IS DEAD! It seems Jin’s flashbacks predate their flight on Oceanic 815. What we don’t know is how or when he died! CRAP!
And according to the trailer for next week…someone else is going to die!
