Update: 16:20 Thanks to Kevin for sending in this other synopsis for tonight.
Episode starts directly after the last one ended with Faraday being shot. Jack and Kate talk about what they should do now but are then captured by Widmore. Eloise looks at Faraday's journal and sees the note she wrote. She says to put Jack and Kate into a tent and she would talk to them. They have a discussion about going through with Faraday's plan and Kate doesn't want to be involved. Jack convinces Eloise that Faraday was her son and that she needs to show him where the bomb is. She helps but, just like future Hawking, seems strangely eager to help them make her fade into non-existence. So Jack, Kate, Eloise, Richard, and some other guy head to the bomb. Richard seems like a big pacifist for some reason. They keep talking about the plan and Kate becomes more and more convinced that she doesn't want to be involved. She attempts to leave but other guy won't let her and says he will shoot her if she does. For a split second I thought Kate had been shot but it was actually SAYID who shot other guy. Sayid joins the little group and Kate leaves. Hawking, Jack, Sayid, and Richard go underground into a tunnel and come out into what looks like an old ruin (temple-esque) and the bomb is there. It's also RIGHT UNDERNEATH Dharmaville.
Meanwhile Locke is taking full control of the Others. He arrives back to the camp in 2008, much to Richard's surprise. He says he has a task for Richard and that Ben should go ahead and come along as well. Then after they finish the task he says they are going to see Jacob. Richard doesn't seem that thrilled. They go to the drug plane and Locke just looks out eerily. He then gives Richard a kit to get bullets out of people and says that he needs to help whoever comes out of that jungle in a second, and also to tell him that he needs to get everyone back to the island and that he will also die. Of course this scene leads into when Locke was time-jumping earlier this season but the way they do it is just awesome. I have no clue how Locke knew he would be coming out at that exact moment.
After Richard helps time-skipping Locke they go back to the camp. Locke is still eager to see Jacob and Richard says they can go tomorrow morning but Locke insists that they go now. He then asks Richard if he can talk to the rest of the camp. He says that there is a man named Jacob who is their leader but no one has ever seen or talked to him but Ben, and Locke even doubts that Ben ever talked to him. This is a whole new Locke obviously. He finishes the speech by inviting everyone to go with them to see Jacob. Richard seems very uncomfortable with this.
This whole time Sawyer and Juliet are being interrogated by Radzinksy and Phil. Sawyer refuses to tell them where Kate is. A guy comes in and says that Jack and Kate were on the sub manifest, but also a guy named Hugo Reyes. Hurley is getting food for their new camp during his escape but is followed by a curious Pierre Chang. He finds Huley, Jin, and Miles all with guns and asks them straight up if they are from the future or not. They all deny it but then Chang starts asking Hurley questions (what year he was born, etc.). I won't spoil this because it was by far the funniest part of the episode.
Hurley admits they are from the future and Chang now believes what Faraday said. He goes to Horace and Radzinsky to get them to help him evacuate the island but Radzinsky doesn't believe him. Sawyer backs him up however and says that he would give them any information they wanted if him and Juliet could get on the sub. They accept but Kate ends up coming back on her own anyways. Near the end of the episode both Sawyer and Juliet happily go onto the sub so they can go to the real world and live happily, and then right before they leave the Dharma guys say there is one more passenger and it is Kate of course. The sub leaves.
The episode ends with Locke, Ben, Richard and the Others walking to see Jacob. Richard tells Ben that Locke could be trouble. Ben approaches Locke and says that Richard is a little uncomfortable with him taking charge so quickly, and if he is really ready to talk to Jacob. Locke says that he doesn't want to talk to Jacob, he wants to kill him...
THE END.
Update: 14:30 Thanks to Andy, who was at the event, for sending us this update which makes a couple of changes/corrections to the original synopsis.
Yeah, they're accurate, but with one pretty critical exception in Christian's synopsis. Unless this poster knows something about the finale, there is no indication that Ben is going to kill Jacob. The episode ends with Locke leading Richard, Ben, Sun, and the Others to go to Jacob (which is, btw, very reminiscent of Jack leading the survivors to the radio tower in TTLG, with similar music, shots, etc.). Earlier in the episode, Locke reassured Sun that Jacob could help reunite them with the 1977 Losties, and in this last scene, Ben questions Locke about this. Locke replies that he knew what he told Sun, but that wasn't why they were going to see Jacob. Locke then declares that they were going because he, and not Ben, as the poster incorrectly stated, was going to kill Jacob. The camera stays on a shocked/bewildered Ben for a couple of moments before cutting to the closing credits.
Update: 14:10 Thanks to Stephanie who attended the event and screening and confirms the spoilers and it's her videos that we have shown below. She has also a couple of photos from the event. Update: 12:15 Thanks to Christopher who was also at the event for these additional snippets.
- There are no flashbacks, only flashes between 1977 and present time on the island. - Richard is skeptical and impressed with the new Locke(we sort of saw this from the sneak peeks) and his assertiveness. Ben seems to be trying to weasel in between their relationship to cause problems. - We don't find anything new in regards to Richard, Ben makes a comment, but we already new the answer. - Locke gives this speech to his "people" since he's their leader now. He talks about how if a people have a leader, they should know who he is, and that they should be able to see him. Then they start the march to the cabin. He only tells Ben that he's actually going to kill him(Jacob). - Jack is basically trying to do what Faraday set out to do, which is detonate the bomb(which we already knew). - Some people in DHARMA are evacuating the island, as per Faraday's recommendation to Chang, Sawyer and Juliet are with them. - We don't really learn anything new about Widmore. He's not much of a leader during the 70s period.
Update: 11:15 Added 2 more videos below of the event. Update: 10:40 Here is the video of the event last night to show that this event really did happen. This is the portion of the event with Carlton Cuse discussing Lost. We're still trying to find out just how accurate the transcript is (DarkUFO)
Hey All, Apparently yesterday at Ohio St. University Carlton Cuse was at an event where they screened Episode 5x15 Follow the Leader.
There is NO way for me to confirm this because I have not seen the show, but many of the details do line up with the spoilers and sneak peeks. We are checking with our sources, but in the mean time I am placing the synopsis behind an "Are You Sure" button.
Here is a link to the event at OSU for the event called How I Produced LOST!
