Ben puts on Dharka, apologizes to Locke

Ben puts on the Dharma Dharka we first saw him wearing in the desert in "The Shape of Things To Come" when he arrived in the Sahara. Ben tells Locke that he's "going somewhere cold" and that Locke should go two miles east of the Orchid find Richard and the other others/natives. They'll be waiting Locke him to lead them. Ben says that Jacob wants him to suffer the consequences of moving the island because whoever does, can't come back.

In a moving moment (thanks to the brilliant acting of Michael Emerson), Ben apologizes to Locke saying "I'm sorry I made your life so miserable." Ben then tells Locke "you'll find your way John, you always do."

Sawyer makes it back to the island, Juliet drowns her sorrows

Juliet drowns her sorrows with a bottle of Dharma rum as Sawyer makes it back to the beach. He strolls up cocky as ever and finds Juliet slurring her speech and staring out at the smoke rising where the freighter used to be. Both Juliet and Sawyer most likely think that everyone is dead.

Ben causes an explosion in the vault

After seeing Ben load as much metal as he can into the vault, he finally turns it on, causing a contained explosion. He and Locke duck behind a desk for cover. The scene ends with Ben saying, "I'd better change."

Sun has a cryptic conversation with Charles Widmore

In this flash forward, one of two filmed in London, Sun approaches Charles Widmore as he's coming out of Le Pont de la Tour restaurant with some associates. She introduces herself as Mr. Paik's daughter and the managing director of Paik industries and Widmore immediately acknowledges that he knows Mr. Paik. It would seem that Paik and Widmore have does business together before, which many have suspected for some time. The tone shifts when Sun asks "Are you really going to stand there and pretend you don't know who I am?." He plays it off but Sun says that he knows that they are lying about where they were and what happened while they were there. Sun tells Widmore that they have "common interests" and when he's ready to discuss them to call her. She hands him her business card which has her name, position in the company and the Paik logo on it. Then she says, "As you know, we're not the only ones who left the island." Is she referring to Desmond or Ben? That would seem to be the people Widmore would be most interested in. Widmore asks "Why would you want to help me?," but Sun just walks away.

The freighter blows up, sinks

Here's the freighter, Kahana, blowing up and then sinking. Jin can't be seen on the ship when the bomb explodes, so there's a good chance he made it off in time. Sun, in the helicopter, assumes Jin is dead and sobs uncontrollably as they hover over the water.
