On Island Events: The Season 5 finale begins with Jacob working with some thread. Then, he goes outside, sits on the beach, and watches a ship (most likely the Black Rock) sail towards the island. Another man joins him and says that Jacob brought the people on the ship to prove him wrong. Then, the man says that he wants to kill Jacob and that one day he will find a "loophole." The man walks away, and the camera zooms out, revealing that they were sitting next to the four-toed statue.

In the submarine in 1977, Kate tells Sawyer and Juliet what Jack's about to do. Juliet, Sawyer, and Kate find the captain and force him to take the submarine up to the surface. When they get to the beach, Vincent runs out of the jungle, followed by Rose and Bernard. Rose and Bernard show them their hut, and then they tell them which direction the Barracks are.

Meanwhile, Sayid removes the explosive part of the hydrogen bomb so they can move it across the island faster. Then, Richard breaks down a wall. Behind it is a Dharma basement. Richard knocks out Eloise and takes her back to the Others, and Jack and Sayid go upstairs. Sayid puts on a Dharma uniform to "hide in plain sight," and they go outside. As the walk through the town, Roger notices Sayid and shoots him. Jack shoots at Roger, and some Dharma members start shooting at Jack.Then, Jin, Hurley, and Miles come in a Dharma van and rescue Jack and Sayid.

While driving to the Swan construction site, Hurley stops the Dharma van because Sawyer, Juliet, and Kate are blocking the road. Sawyer asks to talk to Jack for five minutes, so they go into the jungle. After a brief discussion, the begin fighting each other. Juliet stops the fight and takes Jack's side. Jack goes back to get the bomb from Sayid and takes it to the Swan site.




In 2007, Ilana and her people arrive at the main island. They go to Jacob's cabin and discover that he hasn't been their for a long time, but someone else has been using it. They burn the cabin and begin walking to the four-toed statue.

Meanwhile, during their journey to see Jacob, Locke tells Ben to kill Jacob for him. Because smoke-monster-Alex told Ben to do whatever Locke said, Ben agrees. They arrive at the four-toed foot, and Richard tells them that's where Jacob lives. Locke and Ben go in the foot and meet Jacob. When Jacob sees Locke, he says "You found your loophole." Then, Ben stabs Jacob and "Locke" kicks him into the fire.

Outside the statue, Ilana and her people arrive. She asks Richard that famous question- "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" Richard replies with "Ile qui nos omnes servabit" which is latin for "He who will save us all"They open the silver box, tip it over, and Locke's body from the coffin falls out.

Off Island Events: In the first flashback, young Kate is trying to steal a lunchbox. The store owner catches her and is about to call Kate's mother and the police, but Jacob comes and offers to pay for it. In the second flashback, young Sawyer is at his parents' funeral. Once the mourners are gone, he begins writing his letter to the real Sawyer. Jacob walks up to him and gives him a pen. In the third flashback, Sayid and Nadia begin to cross a street, but Jacob comes and asks Sayid a question. Sayid leaves Nadia in the street, and she gets hit by a car. Other flashbacks show Jacob meeting Ilana, Jack, Hurley, Sun, and Jin.


OMG Moments:

• We see Jacob for the first time.
• The four-toed statue was shown from yet another angle.
• Locke's body was in Ilana's silver box.
• Ben killed Jacob.

New Clues:


Questions:

• What happened after the hydrogen bomb exploded?
• Jacob said "They're coming!" Who's coming?
• Did the hydrogen bomb actually explode?
• Is the man in the black shirt who wanted to kill Jacob - and who took the form of Locke - the Smoke Monster?
• A- Maybe, I think he may have been punished in a past life and became the smoke monster. he then took the form of Alex to tell Ben to listen to John, and then took form of John to tell Ben to kill Jacob

Trivia:


Theories:

I think that the guy in the beginning of the episode ( that they didn't say the name of) that wanted to kill Jacob but couldn't found his loop hole. He posed as Locke and told Ben to kill Jacob since he wasn't allowed to for some reason. Because it was someone else, Jacob died. And that might prove that Jacob was sort of an angel that got everyone to go to the island and the other guy was a devil that wanted death. After Jacob was killed anything could happen even if it wasn't "meant to be".
