On the Island | Off the Island |
Intro: Back on the island, everyone’s tossed around after the explosion, and they’re in present day. It appears as if the explosion didn't work.
| Intro: It’s a brand-new Oceanic Flight 815! Almost all the crash survivors are onboard, plus a new one, Desmond, who sits beside Jack. We get a glimpse of the island, completely underwater, with no further explanation. It appears that this is what would have happened if the plane had never crashed.
|
Jack
| Jack awakes to find that his plan to blow jughead didn't work. He works on Sayid's wounds and can't save him. He helps take Sayid to the temple, and once again tries to save him when it appears that Sayid comes back to life in the healing waters.
| 
Kate
| Kate awakens from the blast in a tree. She helps get debris out of the way so that they can save Juliet. She tries to help Sawyer bury Juliet, and he refuses her help.
| 
"Locke"
| After Ben kills Jacob, Bram enters the statue and asks what happened to Jacob. Flocke tells him, and Bram and his men try to kill him. “Locke” transforms into the smoke monster to kill off Jacob’s bodyguards. He turns back into "Locke" and tells Ben "I'm sorry you had to see me like that."
| 
Hurley
| Jacob, now an hour dead, tells Hurley they have to take Sayid to the temple to save him. Hurley tells him he doesn't know where that is and Jacob replies "Jin knows. Tell him to take you to the hole in the wall where he was with the French team. Through that opening you can get him to the Temple. You still have that guitar case I gave you?" | 
Sawyer
| They hear Juliet’s voice and frantically try to get to her in the hole. When Sawyer reaches her, she’s despondent that the bomb didn’t work – she wanted him to have a life off the island. Soon, she dies, but later Miles “talks” to her to get her last words: “It worked.” | 
Sayid
| Sayid is bleeding to death from a gunshot wound, and the survivors take Sayid to the temple,. They are met by a large group of people. Their leader agrees to put Sayid in their healing pool after the contents of Hurley’s guitar case (a gift from Jacob) are revealed. At the temple, Sayid dies in the pool after being held underwater. Jack attempts CPR to no avail. Much later, Sayid comes back to life, but is it Sayid...? | 
Sun
| Sun asks Frank who the people from the flight are when they show up with Locke's body. Frank replies that they told him that they are the "good guys," but adds that he doesn't believe it.
| 
Jin
| Jin drives Sayid to safety because he is the only one who knows where the temple is. Jin knows where the temple is because he met Rousseau when he was time traveling, and saw the Smoke Monster drag one of Rousseau's fellow explorers down the hole under the temple.
| | 
Jack | Jack is on his way back from Australia on the day of his father's funeral. He saves and unwilling Charlie from choking on a baggie of drugs. When he lands, the airline informs him that they have misplaced his father's coffin. He meets Locke and gives him his card, saying that he is a spinal surgeon and [Locke's condition] is not impossible to fix.
| 
Kate | A fugitive from the law, Kate lands with the marshall in LAX. She fakes that she has to go to the bathroom, and the marshall accompanies her. She uses a pen to try and get out of cuffs, but no dice. Meanwhile, the marshall gets impatient. Kate kicks the crap out of him, steals his gun and escapes the airport into a cab that contains a very frightened Claire.
| 
Locke
| Locke meets Boone and has a conversation about how he just finished his Walk-about, which is most likely a lie. He also meets Jack at LAX after the airline has lost his luggage. Jack asks Locke what happened to him (to put him in a wheelchair,) and Locke doesn't answer right away. Jack apologizes, saying he's a spinal surgeon. Locke says that there's nothing that can fix him, but Jack gives him his card anyway. | 
Hurley | Artz approaches Hurley on the flight and asks him to do an impersonation of his commercial for Mr. Clucks. Hurley does it, and the guy asks him how he can afford a chain of restaurants. Hurley informs him that he won the lottery.
| 
Sawyer | Sawyer checks out Kate on the plane, and sits down next to Hurley. He overhears Hurley say that he's won the lottery. Sawyer tells him he shouldn't announce that because people will take advantage of Hurley. Hurley responds "Nothing bad ever happens to me. I'm the luckiest guy alive."
| 
Sayid | Sayid kicks the bathroom door open when the flight attendant gets nervous about Charlie being in there for too long. Sayid then assists Jack with Charlie when he is choking. Throughout the rest of the flight, he looks at a photo of Nadia.
| 
Sun | Sun is on the plane with Jin, watching Rose and Bernard. She comments on how in love they seem. Jin scolds her for having the top button on her sweater unbuttoned. When they land in LAX, Jin gets detained by customs agents. They ask Sun if she speaks English and she says "No English."
| 
Jin | Jin seems cold, like we've seen him in flashbacks. He's carrying a watch and more than $10K in cash, which gets him in trouble with customs. Neither he nor Sun are wearing wedding rings, and she uses her maiden name with the customs agents.

Characters that aren't in both places.
On the Island | Off the Island |
Ben | Ben confronts Fake Locke about being used to kill Jacob. Flocke tells him to go and get Richard, which he tries to do. Richard won't enter the statue, and Bram takes Ben in the statue instead.
Ben whitnesses Flocke turn into the smoke monster and back into Flocke. | | 
Charlie | Charlie is found unconscious in the bathroom. Jack saves him from choking on a baggie of drugs. Charlie asks if he's alive, Jack says yes, to which he replies "Terrific." Authorities detain Charlie after he lands in LAX.
| 
Claire | Claire is in a cab when Kate throws open the cab door and jumps in. Claire is visibly frightened when Kate puts a gun to the head of the cab driver and screams at him to drive.
| 
Boone | Boone confides in John that he was in Australia to rescue his sister from a relationship she didn't want to be rescued from.
| 
Desmond | Desmond sits on the plane next to Jack. At one point in their conversation, Desmond calls Jack "Brotha." Jack asks if they've met before, and Desmond doesn't seem to recall. Desmond disappears before the flight is over.
| 
Rose
| Rose talks to Jack at the beginning of the flight. The plane encounters turbulence, and it seems to be in trouble. However, the ride smooths out and Rose tells Jack that he can relax, they made it through.
[I think Rose should be moved to another category. Something like "Seen off island. Might still be on the island." Rose and Bernard might still be living in their retirement hut. Also Bernard should be added wherever Rose is too. He came back and sat next to Rose]
