PREVIOUSLY ON LOST: In a rare, genuinely dramatic moment in U.S. Customs history, a Customs agent at LAX confiscates the $25,000 Sun’s father gave Jin for some shady cross-continent “business” dealings — the details of which we’re still not completely clear on (though we ARE clear on the fact that when I put “unnecessary quotes” around words I’m not just defying grammar, respected manuals of style, AND common sense, but also being “annoyingly sarcastic” on purpose, just to torment others) — because the money was “undeclared.” (Listen Customs dude, that money isn’t just “undeclared” — it’s so off-the-grid it’s, like, one laundering away from becoming INVISIBLE.) Hurley told Richard that, DUDE, your wife told me that you can’t let Faux Locke get off the island or DUDE, we’re all going to Hell and DUDE, I SEE DEAD PEOPLE. Faux Locke sent Sawyer on a recon mission to Hydra island, where he met Charles Widmore and in short order promised to deliver Faux Locke to Widmore provided Widmore gets the remaining Losties off the island (of course, true to form, Sawyer had already struck a similar deal with Faux Locke, so it’ll be interesting to see if/how this little scheme of his doesn’t backfire, go nuclear, and end in a mess of fiery rubble and bodies… uhh fingers crossed?). BOOM!
