Here's the freighter's communications/radio room. Minkowski leads Desmond and Sayid there so Desmond can call Penny. Someone wrecked the gear in this room after the ship anchored.
Mr. Charles Widmore bids on the ledger of the first mate from the Black Rock at Southfield's and wins it. We see a painting of the Black Rock along with the ledger by the ledger.
In the Find 815 game, Oscar Talbot mentions that his employers had the ledger. Talbot worked for a division of the Widmore Corporation.
Here we see the device Daniel Faraday uses to do "things that Oxford frowns upon." There are various shots of equipment as well as of Eloise, the rat, being subjected to the equipment set to the settings that Desmond gave Daniel. Unfortunately, Eloise dies of an apparent brain aneurysm, just like George Minkowski.
We finally put a face to the voice on the satellite phone. Desmond finds George Minkowski in the sick bay and unfortunately, he's dead by the end of the episode from an apparent brain aneurysm. Hopefully we'll see more of him in flashbacks and find out what exactly happened to him and his crew-mate Brandon.
When Frank, Desmond and Sayid reach the freighter, Keamy (top picture) and Omar (bottom picture) are there to meet them, Keamy in particular, seems quite pissed. Keamy is from Las Vegas and Omar is from Florida.
In "The Constant," we go back to Desmond's "past" when he was in the military. We meet his sergeant who gives him a hard time as he keeps flashing back and forth between 2004 and 1996.
Here's Daniel's "cheat sheet" (as Frank calls is) with the direction Frank should follow to get back to the freighter. I've also included some shots of the controls/meters in the helicopter including the dial that slips just over 31 as Frank flies into the thunder head. After it slips above 31, Desmond starts experiencing the "side effects."
