In a flash forward, Sayid kills a man outside of Hurley's mental hospital. He tells Hurley that he has to take him someplace safe. Hurley does not want to go, until he hears that Jeremy Bentham was murdered. Hurley, who was playing chess by himself, says "Checkmate Mr. Eko" and then leaves with Sayid. In the Orchid Station, Keamy’s dying words are that no matter where Ben goes, “he” will find him. He dies, and the light on the freighter bomb goes on. Michael’s freezing has temporarily worked, but he is almost out of liquid nitrogen. The helicopter arrives. Desmond tries to warn them, but Lapidus lands anyway. As they frantically work to put gas in the chopper, Sun looks for Jin. They force her on to the helicopter. Just as Jin runs on deck, the helicopter takes off. Michael’s tank runs out. He hears whispers, and then Christian Shephard appears telling him he can go now. The freighter explodes before they can get back to save Jin. Sun screams in horror. In a flash forward, Sun confronts Charles Widmore in London. She tells him that they have common interests, mentioning that they’re not the only ones who left the island. Sun hands him her business card from Paik Industries. On the beach, Juliet is surprised to see Sawyer swimming up from the ocean. He is surprised to see her drinking rum, until he sees the smoke coming up from the freighter out in the distance. Back in the Orchid, Ben has blown up the vault with the metal things he put inside it. He puts on a parka, telling Locke that he’s going someplace cold. He explains that whoever moves the island can never come back to it. It is the job Jacob has chosen for him while Locke is meant to lead The Others. Ben apologizes and says goodbye. Locke goes to meet The Others. Ben crawls into the hole made by the vault and arrives in a frozen area that has a giant wheel in it. As Ben starts turning the wheel, everyone on the island experiences a blinding flash of light. Just as the helicopter is about to land on the island, it disappears. The chopper then runs out of fuel and crashes into the ocean. They all jump on a lifeboat. In a flash forward, Kate has a dream where she gets a strange phone call and then she sees Claire telling her not to take Aaron back to the island. Back on the lifeboat, they see a rescue boat in the distance. Jack quickly tells them that they are going to have to lie about everything that happened on the island. The boat arrives and it turns out that it belongs to Penny Widmore. She reunites with Desmond and they kiss. She tells him that she found him thanks to his phone call and her tracking station in the Arctic. Jack decides to tell her about the lies they are going to tell. Penny takes them 3000 miles to the island of Membata. Lapidus and Desmond stay behind while The Oceanic 6 - Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, and Aaron – paddle their lifeboat to shore and are helped by the local people. In a flash forward, Jack goes back to the funeral home. He breaks in and opens up Jeremy Bentham’s coffin. Ben sneaks up behind him. Jack says that Jeremy told Jack and Kate that Ben was off the island and also let them know all the very bad things that happened after the Oceanic 6 left. Jeremy said that it was Jack’s fault and that he had to go back to make things right. Ben says that the island won’t let Jack return on his own – they "all" have to go back. Including Jeremy Bentham, who we see in the coffin is really John Locke.
