Claire woke up, not sure what she had just seen. She's had dreams about the island before - they plagued her almost every night - but this one was not a memory. It hadn't happened. Which meant it must be a message. She remembered the dream clearly: Hurley had appeared and told her to bring all the children related to the island - he'd called them the Lost Children - and bring them all to one place. Except for Walt, who was already on the island. Claire knew what she had to do, but she didn't know how to do it. There were probably kids she didn't know about, and there were some she did that would be rather hard to get. She decided to start with the ones that were close by. She went to Ella's room. She remembered when the plane had landed, and Ella had been there. Zack and Emma had told her who Ella was, and then Claire had remembered. Ella was her daughter. And Charlie's daughter. And those horrible Others had made her forget that Ella existed. After Ella woke up, Claire got Aaron. She and Kate alternated who Aaron stayed with; right now he was with her. She put the kids in the car and drove to Kate's house.
"Kate!"
"Claire! What are you doing here?!"
"No time to explain - I had a dream - just watch the kids. I have to go do something."
"Claire? What... what did you see in your dream?
Claire turned around to look at her. "I saw Hurley."
...
James looked at the clock. 7:00 a.m. Who knocked that early? He went and opened the door. It was Claire.
"Claire?"
"James."
"Why... why are you here?"
"I had a dream. Just... it doesn't matter. Is Clementine with you?"
"Yeah, her mom dropped her off last night."
"Good. Bring her to Kate's house."
"Why?"
"Because, I told you, I had a dream."
"Who was in it?"
"Hurley."
"Hurley?"
"Just bring her to Kate's!"
"Allright! Where are you going?"
Claire paused for a second before answering. "Seoul."
Then she ran out the door.
...
Kate was extremely confused. Claire had just shown up, and dropped off her kids. Now Kate had to watch 9 year old Aaron, 8 year old Ella, and 5 year old Mary. That was a lot of kids to watch. And as if it weren't enough confusion, a knock came on the door. It was James.
"Hi, James."
"Hey, Freckles."
Kate smiled sadly at the old nickname. "What's going on?"
"I don't know. Claire came and told me to bring Clementine here." He moved aside, revealing the 11 year old standing behind him.
"Hi, Auntie Kate!"
"Hey, Clementine." She then turned to James. "Did Claire say where she was going?"
"Seoul. You have any idea why?"
"Yes. Ji Yeon is there."
"What does she want with Ji Yeon?"
Kate suddenly felt stupid for not realizing it before. "She wants to bring all the children related to the island together."
"Well, what do we do?"
"We help her."
Kate called Miles and convinced him to bring Nathan over, and James tried to track down Richard and Ana. He eventually got a hold of them and convinced them to come over.
"Who else?"
"Well, the last time they were here, Desmond and Penny said they were going to dock in LA next week."
"Right."
"So we'll get Charlie then."
"Is there anyone else?"
"Yes", said Richard, standing in the doorway. "Julian Carlson."
"Who?"
"Rachel's son."
"Who's Rachel?"
"Juliet's sister."
Kate saw the look on James' face when he heard Juliet's name. The next thing he said was almost in a whisper.
"She... she has a sister?"
"Yeah. She does."
"Well, how do we get her nephew to come?"
"No idea."
"I'll do it", said James. They looked up Rachel's number, and he called. Kate wasn't sure what he said, but it worked. They would be arriving the next day.
"Who else?", asked James.
"Megan. Megan Pace."
...
Claire arrived at the address, not sure what to say. She knocked, and a Korean woman answered the door. Come to think of it, Claire wasn't sure if she understood English.
"Are you... are you Mrs. Paik?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"I'm a friend of your daughter's."
"Sun? Where is she?"
"She... she's dead."
"But... you said..."
"We were friends a long time ago. I'm here because I need to bring her daughter to Los Angeles."
"Why?"
"Because if I don't... Ji Yeon will die."
"Why?"
"I don't know, exactly."
"Well, you can't have her!"
"Mrs. Paik, please."
"Fine. But if you don't bring her back, my husband will kill you."
"I'm well aware."
...
"Des?", asked Penny, nervous.
"What is it, Pen?", Desmond replied.
"Where's our son?"
"He's on deck."
"No, he's not."
"What? Charlie! Charlie!"
They looked, and eventually they found their son by the dock, playing with some local kids.
"Charlie Hume!"
"Oh, hi, mum! Hi dad!"
"Charlie, you worried us sick!"
"Sorry!"
"Charlie, we have to leave now."
"Where are we going?"
"Los Angeles."
"Oh, I love LA! That's where everyone else is, right?"
"Yes. It is."
...
Liam answered the door. "Uh, hi Claire." Liam hadn't seen Claire since shortly after she'd returned from the island, when she'd come to give him back the Drive Shaft ring Charlie had given her son.
"Hey. Can I borrow your daughter?"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Megan. Can I borrow her?"
"Why?"
"Because I need to bring together all the children who are connected to the island - The Lost Children."
"Why?"
"Hurley said to. In my dream."
"Who's Hurley?"
"He was Charlie's friend."
"Allright, but, my wife won't be happy."
"I'll bring her back!"
"Really?"
"I hope."
"That doesn't sound confident."
"Well, don't you want Megan to meet her cousin?"
"Fine."
...
"I'm back!", said Claire a few days later as she entered Kate's house. She saw Richard there with Ana, Miles with Nathan, Zack and Emma, some woman and a boy she didn't know, her own two kids, Mary, James and Clementine, and Desmond and Penny with Charlie. "I got Megan and Ji Yeon."
"Great", said Kate, "We're all together. Now what?"
