After the flash Locke saw that it was now raining and that there were no Others around him. The people on the Zodiac were confused by what happened and Daniel understood that they were still within the radius. Charlie and Claire were confused by it with Claire asking, "what was that light".

Charlie said "I don't know but I've only been on this island a week and every second is making me more confused".

Claire said "we have to get back to the beach, we have to get off this island before something else happens".

Charlie said "right with you".

Sawyer and Juliet were confused and saw that the boat was no longer there, when they heard Bernard looking for Rose. Rose found him and was at the Church when it happened. Bernard told them about the camp being gone and showed them everything but them being gone. Daniel came back and informed them that the camp isn't gone, they just haven't built it yet. Daniel insists they go to the Hatch to see it, on their way Daniel tells them that they or the island is moving through time. Daniel asks "and everyone in your group, they're all accounted for, right".

Sawyer sighs before saying "Charlie went after Claire and there also is Locke".

Locke sees the Beechcraft plane crash and, on his way, finds a Virgin Mary statue, he then sees it crashed in the tree and after climbing to try and get to it, is shot in the leg by Ethan and falls to the ground. Ethan demands to know who he is, Locke tries to convince him not to shoot when the island flashes again. Locke sees that it's now night and Ethan is gone. The group on their way to the Hatch realise this and Daniel informs them that they are either in the past or the future. Claire and Charlie realise this and Claire questions "it's night, how is it night, it was day a second ago".

Charlie shouts "this fucking island, can not a single thing be normal".

The group arrives at the Hatch and see that it's exploded, which Daniel understands that when they are is after the crash. Sawyer attempts to go back and possibly warn the helicopter about the boat. Daniel informs them that they cannot change time because whatever happened, happened. He also tells them that they cannot stop what's happening to them. Locke then sees Richard and he patches Locke up before telling them that he has to convince the people who left to come back and to that; he will have to die. Another flash happens and at the Hatch they realise that it's no longer exploded, and Juliet digs to see that the Hatch hasn't been uncovered yet. Sawyer tries to go to the other entrance to talk to Desmond and get supplies from him but after trying to get Desmond's attention Daniel stops him. Daniel then realises that Charlotte's nose is bleeding and tells her that she is fine. Daniel goes back to the entrance and gets Desmond to come out before telling him that he is Daniel Faraday, and he needs to find his mother at Oxford university because he and everyone else that they left behind is going to die. When they get back to camp rose and Bernard are trying to start a fire while Juliet informs Sawyer about the Zodiac staying with them. Daniel returns and explains that they can't leave until he calculates a new bearing. Charlie and Claire return to the beach and Sawyer approaches them happily exclaiming "thank god you two are here" before giving both of them a hug.

Claire asks "what's happening Sawyer, why is day turning into night and where's my son because Charlie gave him to Sun to look after until he found me".

Sawyer sighed "Claire I'm so sorry but something happened to the freighter".

Claire pleaded "what happened, where's Aaron; where's my baby".

Juliet said "we don't know exactly but it exploded, while your son was on it".

Claire fell to the ground in anguish sobbing "Aaron, Aaron". Charlie tried to comforted her, but she stayed still sobbing at the loss of her son. Juliet helped her up and said "I'll take her to get some water, Sawyer tell Charlie what's happening".

Sawyer said "sorry mate about the kid, none of this should have happened".

Charlies responded "I know it's just that I gave him to Sun, to take onto that boat".

Sawyer said "we've got bigger problems, the flashing and day turning in night, well that's us or the island moving through time".

Charlie exclaimed in surprise "what were now moving through time".

Sawyer answered "yes".

Charlie angrily "what in hell is wrong with this island".

Sawyer said "I've been thinking the same thing for four months but what happened to Claire why did she leave Aaron in the jungle".

Charlie said "as I said some monster on this island and it was taking the form of her father Christian. It put Claire in some trance because she remembers seeing the creature and it holding Aaron but then she blackout until she awoke with me in the jungle after I saved her from this Cabin".

Sawyer asked "you think it was the same Cabin that Locke and Ben went to".

Charlie answered "I don't know but I shot it, and it did nothing, I then knocked Claire out because in her trance she was quite happy to stay. I grabbed her and shot at the thing while escaping, it got mad and tried to attack but I fled with Claire".

Sawyer remarked "great another thing on this island we need to worry about".

Charlie asked "so how do we stop moving through time".

Sawyer answered "we can't but we can leave this island and to do that Daniel need to find another leave bearing".

Charlie listened and said "well let's hope he hurries up because I can't stand another second on this island".

Charlie left to find some fruit and came back to see Bernard failing to make a fire. He went to Claire who was far away from everyone staring out at the ocean and walked past Charlotte who was going to talk to Daniel about the affects the flashes seemed to be having on her. Charlie gave Claire a mango. Charlie tells her "I'm here for you if you want to talk or have someone to just sit next to".

Claire numbly said "you don't have to, I'm fine alone".

Charlie said "if you ever need someone; I'm here for you".

Claire responded "if it meant Aaron would still be alive, then I wish you stayed dead".

Charlie got up to leave understanding that she was really hurting, and he wasn't helping. Charlie began to walk back to camp when he saw Miles bring back a dead boar and Neil yelling about fire. A fire arrow immediately struck Neil, and everyone was in shock and ran away. Charlie ran back from Claire who seemed to be unaware of what was happening around her and he reached her saying "we got to go". Claire was numb as he dragged her into the nearest bit of jungle watching as many cam members were struck by fire arrows and a couple firing near them. Charlie was thankful that they appeared to not be targeted as he dragged a numb motionless Claire to the dense jungle. Sawyer and Juliet were walking through the jungle when they heard noises and hid from the approaching people who when they walked past; had no idea who they were. They were caught by the men, and they wanted to know what Sawyer and Juliet were doing on their island when they were saved by Locke. Charlie continued to run until he thought it was safe and said "were safe now".

Claire responded "doesn't matter we're never safe on this island".

Charlie replied "it's okay Claire. I won't let anything happen to you".

Claire retorted "you can't say that, and even if you could, you shouldn't because you've known me a week. You can't care or love me".

Charlie answered "I can because I may not know what I did, or my time with you but it was still me; just like if I lost my memory. I'm still Charlie and I feel the love that you give me and the love that I have for you. So, I will do everything I can because I will not lose you".

Claire told him "it doesn't matter if we die or more specifically if I die because I have nothing to live for and I don't want to after I failed Aaron".

Charlie told her "it wasn't your fault. A monster took you, you had no control".

Claire said "I should have been stronger and if I had. My son would be alive".

Charlie rejected this "no, we most likely would have gotten on the Zodiac together and the three of us; would have died together".

Claire proclaimed "that's the point, I should have died with my son. Keeping him safe for as long as I could and the last thing, he would have felt was that his mum loved and protected him. Not fuck off in the middle of the night abandoning him".

Charlie told her "I technically only knew you two a week, but Aaron couldn't have asked for a better mum. He always felt it and knew that you wouldn't unless you were forced to".

Claire asked "you really believe that".

Charlie told her "I do and what we'll do is wait until the next flash and then return to the beach. There we'll wait for the others and get off this island".

Dnaiel, Charlotte, and Miles walked through the jungle until Miles noticed some claymores; he shouted for everyone to duck, and they all did with two camp members getting killed in the explosions. They were then set on upon by the same group of people that attacked Sawyer and Juliet. They were taken and led to Richard which meant that these people were the past version of the Others. Daniel spoke to Richard; telling them that they were sent to retrieve the hydrogen bomb on the island. Richard allowed Daniel to go after he said that he loved Charlotte. Sawyer, Juliet, and Locke then realised this when they spoke Latin. Juliet tried to get the Others to take them to their camp and see Richard but when one was about to, the other; snapped his neck and ran back to his camp. Sawyer ordered Locke to kill him, but Locke refused. Locke, Sawyer, and Juliet followed the guy back to camp. They saw the camp and Daniel being led away from it into the jungle and while Locke went to talk to Richard. Sawyer and Juliet went to save Daniel. Daniel made it to the bomb and informed the Other with him to bury the bomb underground to keep it and them safe. Sawyer and Juliet arrived to safe Daniel when they noticed the bomb. Locke entered the Others camp and got Richard to talk to him by telling him that Jacob had sent him. Locke informs Richard that he is their leader and wants to know how to get off the island. Another flash hits them and Locke, Miles, and Charlotte are all now standing in an empty field. Daniel, Sawyer, and Juliet aren't far by and see them, Daniel goes to Charlotte to see and once he unbinds her, she starts bleeding from the nose before fainting. They try to help Charlotte and Daniel tells them that it's because of the flashes but doesn't know why it isn't happening to the rest of them. Locke tells Sawyer about his plan to stop the flashes by bringing Jack, Kate, Sun, Sayid, and Hurley back to the island. Charlotte awakes not knowing who Daniel is but comes arounds and tells her that it was because of the flash. Sawyer informs them that they are going to the Orchid. Charlie and Claire make their way back to the beach and await for the rest to return because that's the most likely place they'll go. Sawyer led the group to the Orchid, and they then saw a light coming into the sky which Locke insisted that they stay clear of it. Charlie and Claire see that their camp is mostly back but with a few things not built yet Claire then looks at how no one is at camp and both how her tent has a crib but no her. She then looks at the state of the raft and starts to panic "no, no it can't be tonight. Please let it not be tonight".

Charlie held her and asked "Claire what's wrong, what about tonight".

Claire said "I know what night it is, why no one is here, why my tent has a crib, and the raft. Tonight was the night that I gave birth". Charlie held her as she cried.

Sawyer in the jungle heard screams and when he went to investigate saw Kate and past Claire. Sawyer saw them as Kate was delivering Aaron and as Kate began to hold Aaron, they flashed again. Locke wanted to know if Sawyer saw something, but he refused to say. Sawyer then wanted to know how Locke knew when they were, and he told Sawyer that it was the night Boone died, and he was at the Hatch banging it. Miles then told Daniel about how he just had a nosebleed. Daniel suggested that it might be related to time spent on the island, but Miles rejects this insisting that he has never been on this island before two weeks ago. Daniel asks if he is sure that it was true, and Miles thought about it. They made it back to what appears to be a destroyed camp and at the destroyed kitchen see Charlie and Claire. Sawyer hugs them exclaiming "you two have one hell of a knack for survival".

Charlie responded, "I just wish there weren't so many things that we needed survival from".

Sawyer went to check the beer, but all the cans were empty.

Locke tell them "Charlie, Claire it's good to see you safe and well. We are just going to stop these flashes by going to the Orchid and moving the island again".

Charlie responds "moving the island again, is that what caused this".

Locke answers "yes and I've been told to fix it we need to bring everybody who left back".

Claire questions "left who left the island".

Locke answers "Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, and Sun".

Claire asks hopefully "Sun had Aaron; would he also be off the island".

Locke told her "yes Claire, he will be off the island alive and well".

Claire screamed in enjoyment "Yes". she then hugged Charlie before saying "My baby's alive". She then said "I'm sorry I said those things, I was just upset, and I didn't mean them".

Charlie responded "I know you were just upset but like how I came back, so did he". Locke wondered how long it's been like this when Charlie asked "Locke how do you know that we need to move the island to stop this, and that people had made it off the island".

Locke answered "I found out about those who left from Richard but the man that told me to move the island was in the cabin that Hurley and Ben went with me to".

Both Charlie and Claire were in shock and Charlie asked "was this man, was his name Christian".

Locke answered "yes".

Charlie insisted "we can't do it; we can't listen to that man".

Sawyer questioned "why not".

Charlie answered "he's the thing that took Claire, he's not a man but a monster that could take bullets like it was nothing. He put Claire in whatever state she was in, and we were lucky to make it out of there".

Locke said "I understand Charlie, but we have to bring them back".

Charlie said "we can't trust it though; it took Claire and made her leave Aaron in the jungle".

Locke said "we don't have a choice because if we don't, we are all going to die and I promise you Claire that when I leave, I'll bring Aaron back to you".

Claire answered "no, leave him where he is. He will most likely been given to my aunt Lindsay back in Australia. She's the only family I have left because my mother is in a coma and my dad, well he was the monster that you were talking to".

Daniel realises that the Zodiac is gone, and Miles suggests it was because of the people that came in the outriggers. They decide to use them, and all get into one and paddle towards the Orchid. Miles begins to complain about the distance they have to travel. They begin to be shot at, and Locke orders "move".

Charlie exclaims "can't a single thing on this island be easy".

Claire says "it's gotten far worse since you arrived on the helicopter".

Charlie responds "thank you love, thank you".

Miles asks "these your people".

Juliet responds "no they yours".

Sawyer shouts "shut up and keep paddling". Juliet begins to fire back at them and Sawyer shouts "paddle harder they are getting closer". They are then struck by another flash and Sawyer proclaims, "thank you Lord", it ends, and they are now in a storm. Sawyer shouts to the sky "I take that back".

Charlies says "Sawyer did you have to say something".

Locke tells them "Everybody paddle, head for the shore".

They paddle back to the island and when they do Sawyer talks about Kate to Juliet. Sawyer then realises that Juliet is bleeding from the nose. Charlotte notices there is some wreckage, and they all look at it to see that it's from a ship called the besix douze. The people from the ship are drifting in the water and see Jin floating in the water. They drag him onto their raft and head toward the island. The people on the raft talk to Jin in the basic English that he knows, and the woman of the crew gives Jin water and reveals herself to be the past version of Danielle Rousseau who is currently pregnant with Alex. The crew go try and find the radio tower and Jin agrees to help them go to the radio tower because he knows the way back to camp from there. They go into the jungle but are soon attacked by the monster, it takes one of them to a hole in the ground besides a wall and they all enter but Jin insists Rousseau stays above ground. Jin is then struck by another flash and finds himself alone. He makes his way back to the beach where he finds a makeshift camp and a lot of bodies. He then sees Rousseau aiming a gun at the Robert the man she loves and the father of Alex claiming that he is sick, and the monster did something to him. Robert pleads with Rousseau to not shoot him, and she hesitates but then he tries to shoot her, but the gun jams and she goes to shoot him, but Jin tries to stop her as she fires and strikes Robert in the head. Rousseau then sees Jin and tries to kill him claiming that he is sick as well, Jin flees until he is struck by another flash and falls into a small pit. Sawyer comes up from behind and holds a gun to him not recognising that it's him until he turns around, they are surprised to see each other and hug. Jin wants to know about Sun and Sawyer tries to explain what is happening to them. Jin talks in Korean but because they don't understand gets Charlotte who Jin knows can speak Korean to translate. She does and that he wants to know how they know Sun is off the island. Locke insists that he is sure and that they have to get to the Orchid and bring those who left to come back. They are hit with another flash and a second one only seconds later; this really affects them all and Charlotte faints.

Sawyer, Locke, Charlie, Jin, and Claire all have bleeding noses. Charlie exclaimed "great fucking fantastic".

Daniel said "wow the effects seem to be confirmed to be for how long you've been on the island for".

Charlie responds "I've only been here no more than two weeks".

Daniel tells him "must be because of the paradox you fixed".

Charlie responded sarcastically "great get that but not the memories".

Charlotte can only speak in Korean before speaking in English that Jin can't bring Sun back because this place is death. Charlotte begins to ramble and not talking sense, when Locke insists that they go now because the flashes seem to be getting closer together. They are then struck by another flash. Charlotte insists that they leave her here but tells them that they will find it at the well, Daniel refuses to leave her but insist that the rest go ahead. They leave and soon make it to the Orchid and Juliet remarks that they are here when it is, they are then struck by a flash and see that the Orchid is now gone with Sawyer commenting on her having to say something. They check nearby and see a well and know that this is there way because of Charlotte's remark. Charlotte tells Daniel that she remembers that she lived here when she was little but when she went back to England her mother said that wasn't real. She then said that a man told her to leave and never come back to the island or she would die, and that man was Daniel. Locke says his goodbyes and begins to go down the well when Jin stops him and tells him to not bring Sun back and if she asks to say that Jin is dead and gives him his wedding ring to prove it to Sun. Locke climbs down when they are struck by another flash and Locke falls to the floor and at the top, they realise that the well is no longer there. Daniel stays with Charlotte until she dies and Daniel cries over her body. Locke's leg is injured, and Christian comes to help him the rest of the way. "Locke asks why should I listen to you, you took Claire and put her in a trance".

Christian said "it was only to keep her calm while we did what we need to do, to get your friends back".

Locke says "you forced her to leave Aaron".

Christian said "he's fine and alive isn't he and if we do this, she will be able to see him again and Aaron most likely won't even know she's gone". Locke listens as Christian tells him that he had to move the island. Locke is unsure about what to do but Christian tells him that he has to figure it out but a woman in LA named Eloise Hawking will help him back to the island. Locke agrees and goes to the wheel which Christian tells him to push and as he does and light streams from the hole where the wheel is, Chistian says to Locke say hello to his son and as Locke asks who his son his, he leaves the island.
