If you did not see last week’s episode, do not read ahead or use peripheral vision. SPOILERS BEWARE.
Daniel Faraday is dead. What? He’s also Charles Widmore’s son. What…?!? Last week, we followed the story of Daniel Faraday in the episode “The Variable”, in which he believed that not only did constants exist within the channels of time, but also variables. Faraday theorized that by detonating the hydrogen bomb, (last seen in the episode “Jughead”) he could prevent the construction of the Swan Station. He confirms the danger of the project by disguising himself as a Dharma Initiative worker and heading down to the dig site, which was last seen in the season premiere.
To recap future events, the Dharma Initiative workers continue to dig deeper towards the island’s magnetic field, realizing they have to encase the station in concrete. They also set up a computer system which contains the field by the push of a button every 108 minutes. Desmond neglected to push the button once, resulting in the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 on the island. Capiche?
Faraday’s plan was, however, foiled when he was shot dead by a much younger Eloise Hawking. We then realize that old grey-haired Hawking had anticipated Faraday’s death all along, as he went to work for Charles Widmore, who would eventually send him to the island. An exchange between Hawking and Widmore finally takes place, where Faraday is revealed to be their son.
Boy, Lost is sure hard to explain! If you haven’t seen the show, I think you’re better off watching it from Episode 1 onwards rather than wondering what the hell I was just talking about above. Anyways, we’ve got 2 more episodes of the season left of this amazing show. There’s a recurring theory that the female skeleton last seen lying in a cave in the first season could be none other than Kate Austen, as Evangeline Lilly has stated that she has other projects lined up in the coming months. Who could the other skeleton be? I suppose we’ll find out these next two weeks.
