LOST Recap: “There’s No Place Like Home” Part 1

The Oceanic 6 get off the island! Jack finds out that Claire is his sister! Sayid is reunited with the love of his life Nadia! But how is all of this possible? I’m on the edge of my seat and I can’t believe that I have to wait two more weeks until I find out how everything ends this season. Damn it!

Again, tonight’s episode was fantastic. I have been enjoying this season so much. But I still miss Charlie and wish that he could have been at Hurley’s Island-Themed birthday party his parents had for him after he was rescued. I miss the dynamic between those two so much.

Here are my personal favorite moments from tonight’s episode “There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1.”:

1. Watching Sun’s miserable face as she lands in Hawaii. All I could do was cry and wonder just how Jin died. I loved it that she turned the tables in the future on her a-hole father and bought out his company from under him. You go girl. Big clue- she told him that he was one of two people responsible for Jin’s death … do I dare speculate that Michael is the other one …
2. Sayid coming back for everyone on the small boat. God bless that man. He takes Jin and Sun and four other random nameless people to the freighter, where they run into Michael. But then the drama begins when the engine is found, and Desmond finds a rather large stack of dynomite. Is this the way Desmond dies, tragically, or is it Jin?
3. The flash forward at Jack’s father’s funeral, where Claire’s mom breaks the bad news to Jack that he’s left his sister back on the island. Damn …. now we know why he’s popping pills like crazy, the guilt is killing him.
4. The flash forward where Hurley’s dad gives him his birthday gift, the car that he fixed for him while Hurley was dead. Freaky moment when Hurley looks at the dashboard and those damn numbers are there. Oh, what do they mean?
5. I loved the press conference where we learn the approximate location where the plan crashed, and we learned it took them ten months to get back to the states. And it was great how the press was so damn suspicious of the Oceanic 6. They brought up a great point when they asked Kate was she six months pregnant when she was captured by the US Marshall in Australia …. Hmmm …. Claire was like eight months pregnant when they crashed … and Desmond and Sayid were at the freighter around Christmastime, which was only three months after the crash … what happens to them in the meantime? Weird island travel?
6. The Orchid … how will John Locke get the island to move? What will happen to Ben know that he has surrendered to Keamy?
7. Everyone all spread out across the island … and the frieghtor … Aaron and Sun are on the ship; Kate and Sayid are in the jungle; Hurley is with Locke at the Orchid; and Jack is with Sawyer and Lapidis at the helicopter? How will they all make it out of there and end up becoming the Oceanic 6?
8. Richard and The Others have surrounded Kate and Sayid … why, what do they want with them .. and how will they escape. How is this Richard? It’s killing me …
9. Previews for the season finale, Part 2 of this episode look fantastic … I see Kate and Sawyer on the helicopter, looking into each others eyes like they are going to die/or were still in love or something … does Sawyer die to save Kate? I thought he wasn’t ever going to leave the island?
10. What will happen to everyone else? Juliet, live or die? Do Daniel and Charlotte get to get it on? What about Asian Ghost Whisperer? And, like, everyone else? Who are the other two survivors that Jack keeps talking about? We know it’s not Jin … is it John Locke and Michael? And what about Ben?
