Probably one of the best endings to a Lost episode this season, no wait… ever! Who saw that ending coming? I know I certainly didn’t!

So, it’s a Kate-centric episode and we learn that she was infact one of the Oceanic Six and everyone knows who she is and what she did and she is still wanted for murder, arson etc. etc. We see her on trial in her Flash Forward and from the charges it seems unlikely she’ll get let off, but we all know she does from her encounter with Jack in Through the Looking Glass. So from this we’re left wondering… how did she manage to get off?

On-Island Kate wants to speak to Miles and ask him if he knows who she is - if everyone on the outside world know that she’s a fugitive. He tells her he’ll tell her what he knows if he can have 1 minute with Ben. This may be a hard task as Locke has him locked up under “his” house.

Kate asks Sawyer for help and inturn both con Locke so that Kate can get Miles to see Ben. Miles tells Ben that he can tell his people that he was already dead when they got to the Island - in return of $3.2 million! How does Ben have so much money to play with? He certainly doesn’t hold down a full time job with benefits ;)

After Miles’ time with Ben Kate gets the information out of Miles that she wants. Everyone on the outside world does know who Kate is, and is still a wanted criminal! Oh dear Kate, what will you do?! Staying with camp Locke doesn’t seem such a bad idea now - although she has no choice but to go back to Jack because Locke has banished her from camp Locke as punishment for freeing Miles to see Ben! Locke seems to have lost the plot completely!

Back to the Flash Forward and we see Jack Shepherd as a character witness at Kate’s trial. Apparantly, according to Jacks statement, only eight people survived the crash and Kate was the one who rescued everyone! We didn’t get much else as Kate told him to stop! So, just why exactly have they lied about there being eight survivors? Only six got rescued so who where the two that “died”? Why were they lieing about what happened to them?

Seems like this lie has gone in Kates favour, however, as Kate’s mum isn’t going to testify against her and the courts aren’t going to go against someone who “rescued” people after a plane crash! So Kate gets 10 years probation and isn’t allowed to leave the state! She claims that she isn’t going anywhere… oh, and yeah, she has a son! Is it Sawyers? Did she really get pregnant on the Island and has somehow survived the third trimester (being if they were on the island that long), or had she delivered the baby off island after they where rescued?! So many questions!!

It isn’t long before we see her son though. She goes home and is reunited with her little boy. He looks around two years old, he’s blonde… blonde?! He must be Sawyers! Zoom in on them hugging each other, he’s clearly happy to see her as he says “Mommy”… and I’m like awww. And then boom - she’s says his name and it’s probably the most OMGWTF moment ever on Lost. She says “Hi Aaron”!

Well, we all know Aaron isn’t her son, so why is she claiming him to be? And what has happened to Claire?! This certainly puts a twist on the whole psychic telling Claire that no one else must raise her child! Is Aaron now in grave danger because he is being taken care of by Kate?

I think now we know why Kate wasn’t happy to hear Jack saying they need to go back in Through the Looking Glass, because if they were to go back and rescue the others everyone will know that she didn’t actually rescue anyone and she’ll probably go to jail - oh, and everyone will know Aaron isn’t her son if Claire is still on the Island!

Oh the mind boggles! Lost, I love you! ;)
