The sight of baby Aaron, who Kate raised for three years off the island in Season 4, is enough to awaken her, while Claire and Charlie come to at the sight of one another. Their dialogue about Claire being scared to push and Kate admitting she was scared too was word-for-word from the same scene in the first season, another reminder that we've (sort of) been here before. A still-pregnant Claire goes into labor at the event and Kate follows her backstage, where she delivers the baby, just as she did in Season 1. Many of the other revelations occur at a benefit concert for a local museum, which, conveniently, everyone was either invited to or was able to crash. For John, being able to walk was the one thing he loved and needed the most.
That small feeling is enough to make him remember the island, and how it gave him the ability to walk again. Almost immediately after surgery, John wakes up and is able to move his toes. John's awakening also came at the hospital (seriously, is there only one hospital in all of Los Angeles?), after Jack operates on him in hopes of fixing the spinal injury that confined him to a wheelchair. Their reunion was one of the best (and most tear-inducing) parts of the show. He's not in the dark for long, however - a chance encounter with Juliet at the hospital vending machine brings everything back, including Juliet's death on the island at the end of Season 5/beginning of Season 6. Sawyer, a LAPD cop in the sideways world, ends up at the hospital to check on Sun - the giddy looks she and Jin (aware of the other timeline) give the confused detective (still clueless to it) is sweetly hilarious. Suddenly, they remember each other's names, and what they meant to one another in the other timeline. Hurley brings Sayid to Shannon, and memories of their relationship on the island come pouring in. Sun and Jin are awakened by the sight of their unborn baby's ultrasound - conducted, of course, by fertility expert Juliet. Desmond and Hurley, awakened to their alternate universe memories by Penny and Libby, respectively, begin to bring the other survivors together in order to help them remember. In the sideways world, both timelines begin colliding - and all because of love. Flocke stabs Jack in the stomach and begins to cut his throat (we see the stomach scar - which Jack believed was from getting his appendix out as a child - and the unexplained neck injury on him in the sideways world), but Jack overpowers the former Man in Black and throws him off a cliff to a very painful-looking death. The Jack/Flocke battle in the rain begins. So, when the two squared off and we weren't even an hour into the finale, I knew I'd like where this was going.
The epic battle-to-the-death came early, and I was glad for it - so much of the criticism of the show's later seasons (from fans and professionals alike) was that the drama's mind-bending plot twists and beloved characters seemed to be boiled down to a generic good-versus-evil showdown. Seeing him moved to tears by a gray hair was sweet and satisfying. Richard, Jacob's immortal second-in-command, can now age again. That wasn't the only thing that happened when Desmond turned out the light. But then Jack punches him in the face, and he bleeds - turns out Jack was right, and with the light out, Flocke is now mortal. Flocke smirks - he was right, he says, and the island and everyone on it will soon be at the bottom of the ocean (as we saw in the sideways world at the beginning of this season). Suddenly, the light goes out and the entire island begins to shake. Desmond is lowered in, and removes a large stone from the spring where the light comes from. The three Island Wonder Boys enter the cave, which leads to a long, deep hole. Flocke, Jack and Desmond head to the cave that houses the light at the heart of the island.
