While in the machine, Desmond sees visions of his former life with Penny. They escape the car and are taken to the hospital where Desmond is placed into an MRI machine. While underwater, Charlie holds his hand up to the window, which causes Desmond to remember “Not Penny’s Boat” (Season 3’s finale, “Through the Looking Glass”). Charlie tells Desmond he has to show him something and he drives Desmond’s car into the bay (the same bay serves as the backdrop for the infamous Desmond and Penny photo). Charlie is in a strange mood, telling Desmond that before he almost died on Oceanic 815 he felt the love of a beautiful blonde woman (Claire, perhaps?). Widmore’s party.Ĭharlie and Desmond were close on the island, so it was a treat to see them together again. Instead, he is Charles Widmore’s right hand man (even drinking MacCutcheon Whiskey, which was once not good enough for Desmond to drink) and is tasked with getting Charlie Pace out of jail and making sure he is available to play at Mrs. After a few seconds a giant white flash send us to the flash-sideways world.ĭesmond was, in fact, on Oceanic 815 (not a strange vision by Jack) and he is now safely at LAX, where he is picked up by George Minkowski (the communication officer from Widmore’s freighter, who died in The Constant). So they tie Desmond to a chair and crank up the machine. But we know he is special, and Widmore needs to prove this in order to save the island. Widmore’s team are nervous about running the test, and after a team member is accidently fried by the giant electromagnetic force, things are looking dim for Desmond. Widmore tells Zoe (the Tina Fey look-alike) to take Desmond to the generator room where the test will take place. When he wakes up, Desmond is understandably upset with Widmore and attempts to knock him out with an IV pole. Apparently, this is when Widmore kidnapped Desmond, put him in a locked room on a submarine, and transported him to the island. When we last saw him, in Season 5’s “The Variable”, Desmond had been shot by Ben Linus and was in the hospital. Referred to as “ the package,” Desmond was brought back to the LOST island by Charles Widmore, against his will. “Happily Ever After” is the 11 th episode of LOST’s final season and after an extended hiatus, Desmond made his long-awaited return to the island. Well, add last night’s episode to the list of great Desmond-centered episodes. Past popular episodes include Season 3’s “Flashes Before Your Eyes” and Season 4’s “The Constant,” both of which explore Desmond’s special abilities. Some of LOST’s best episodes ever are based around everyone’s favorite Scotsman, Desmond David Hume. What follows is a recap of LOST Season 6, Episode 11: “Happily Ever After.” Lots of spoilers ensue.Ĭheck out the guest blogger’s LOST-themed blog at for daily LOST-related updates.
