From the last episode.

In the present
1. Locke and Hurley are hiding in the jungle near the orchid
2. Ben is with the mercenaries (unconscious) at the orchid
3. Jack and Sawyer are in the jungle headed to the orchid
4. Kate, Sayid, Richard and a group of rag tag others are tooled up possibly headed to the orchid.
5. Des, Michael, Jin, Sun, Aaron and a group of randoms are on a bomb riddled freighter
6. The `smoke monster` would appear to be loose and roaming the island.
7. Juliet, Miles, Charlotte, Bernard, Rose and other randoms are on the beach.
8. Daniel is on a boat heading to the beach.

In the future
1. A selection of people (the oceanic 6) who are all currently in different locations are `rescued`.
2. The survivors fortunes are somewhat mixed, ones in a loony bin, ones a drink / drug addict, ones confined to a particular state for god knows how many years with another one who is a baby and therefore proabably hasnt a clue whats going on, ones turned into a power crazed businesswoman and the others an assassin.
3. Ben is alive and would appear to have a free role in moving about to and from the island.
4. Someone with a link to the island is off it and unfortunately is dead.
5. Widmore has turned to drink, therefore the assumption would be his plan didnt work.

Its going to be interesting seeing how all these things come together :eek2: ....and that is why I love this show !!!

Very solid summary. Well done.

The best parts of LOST seasons are towards the end of the seasons. There's always SO MUCH goin on with multiple plots coming together.

Yeah great summary. I thought it was very suspenseful at the end how they were showing everyone walking to the Orchid Station. I can't wait to see how they all get out, who saves who, and their journey to the helicopter.

Wait.....who was in the library with the candlestick? That's no candlestick, it's a Jesus statue!
