Season 5 Season Finale Part 1 The Incident

I would have to say that I loved the incident probably even more than the other season finales. I really feel like Juliet made this episode, her acting was wonderful and it was her realistic emotions that made me cry during the episode.

This is my first blog about an episode so if you are reading this please realize that I have never tried this before and may seem scattered and nonsensical at times but bear with me. My layout will start with how I much enjoyed the episode and then I will go scene by scene.

Okay, here I go.

I think it was obvious right at first that this was Jacob, but who is this other man? Jacob is wearing white and his "enemy" is wearing black so, we see the continuation of white vs. black. I have heard a lot of people refer to this other man as "Esau". I don't think he is an Esau figure. Even though in the Bible Jacob betrayed his brother and took everything that meant something to him away he truly did love him and when they met up again Esau loved him too. I simply think that this other man is Evil incarnate or the devil and that Jacob is good and love and maybe God.

I think I will just call this other man the evil guy. What does the evil guy tell Jacob he is wrong about? I believe that Jacob believes that the people he brings are inherently good even if they have done bad things and the evil guy is sure that whoever comes cannot be truly good and save the island from evil.


Here we see Katie and Tommy and it doesn't seem hard at all for Kate to do something wrong even at a young age. She gets what she wants, and she wants a NKOTB lunchbox, lol. She gets caught by the clerk but here comes Jacob and I believe that he sees the good in her as God sees the good in us and he "chooses" her.

We also see that Jacob touches Kate as he touches all the people we see that he encounters in the real world. I also found it cute that even as a child she is wearing pretty much what she wears on the island, jeans, t-shirt, and a backpack.

Sawyer and Juliet and Kate are on the sub. Kate is trying to convince them that they need to get off the sub to stop Jack. Poor Sawyer, all he really wants is to be happy. Kate is worried about all the people on the island dying but is she really worried about being caught?


Jack is on a mission and is determined to follow Faraday's plan. The thing I don't understand is that energy cannot be destroyed, it can change but it cannot be destroyed. Even when someone dies there is a energy that cannot be destroyed.

Sayid is working feverishly to get the core out and make it so it will detonate as soon it hits the bottom but they only have 2 hours.

We go back to 2007 and Locke and Ben and Richard and the others are heading to find Jacob. Where are Cindy and the children and the people we see at the book club. Are they still at the temple somewhere?

Ben explains that there is a difference between being in charge and being the leader. In the Bible we had lots of leaders over the course of thousands of years just as I think it is on the island.

I think it's obvious that Locke isn't Locke as this point. Why would he want to get rid of the Ajira passengers. If he was truly Locke how would they be a threat to him? As the evil guy they are a huge threat, they know that he isn't who he says he is and they are followers of Jacob and I truly believe they are the "good" guys.

llana and company are in the boat with the box and discussing Lapidus. Ilana says even though he doesn't know the answer to the question that doesn't mean he's not important. I think this shows that these followers of Jacob also know who are good, but what exactly could he be a candidate for? A true follower of Jacob, someone who does his work, like a disciple?

Here we have the second flashback. Poor Jimmy is starting to write The Letter but runs out of ink. I'm interested to go back to season one and see if the letter looks the same at that spot. Jacob comes again and I believe he also chooses Sawyer because he knows his true potential, what kind of person he could be and the things he can overcome. Again, Jacob touches Sawyer as he hands him the pen. We also see how Sawyer feels about destiny, he doesn't talk destiny, he believes what is done and done and cannot and should not be changed.

We see Sayid and Jack back underneath the temple and Richard asks Jack if he knows Locke and Jack tells Richard not to give up on him. At this point more than ever Jack believes in Locke even though he is gone but maybe he believes if Richard doesn't give up on him things will be even better.

In this scene Ben tells "Locke" that dead Alex who was also the evil guy tells him to do whatever Locke tells him to do and "Locke" tells Ben that he is the one that is going to kill Jacob.

The third flashback is Sayid with his wife Nadia. Jacob asks Sayid for directions and Nadia walks into the middle of the street and is hit. That was so hard to watch. Here again we see that Jacob touches Sayid and chooses him. How is it that Jacob sees so much good in Sayid that he chooses him? He just knows and I believe he knows everything. Even in the Bible there were people who had done horrible things but God still chose them to be leaders and great men that ended up doing good things.

Richard helps Jack and Sayid get through to the other side but doesn't want Eloise or him to going any further. He says he is protecting their leader. Does he mean Eloise or the baby she is carrying. Are we to believe that it is Faraday that she is carrying or someone we don't know of yet?

Jack and Sayid decide to hide in plain site to get out of Dharmaville. Sayid puts on Horace's jumpsuit. Where was Horace in this episode? Was he working on the cabin possibly? I very much doubt that but it was something that crossed my mind when I remembered him in cabin fever with the blood running out of his nose. Either way I would really like to know where he was and what he was doing.

Unfortunately Ben's Dad recognizes Sayid and shoots him right in the gut, it's not looking good for our Sayid.

Jacks facial expressions when someone hurts a person he loves is priceless and we see this again when Sayid is shot and Jack goes commando.

Here comes Hurley with the van again saves them for now.

Sawyer, Juliet and Kate are heading back. Juliet knows that whatever she had hoped for with Sawyer is over as she sees the sub sink back into the water, so sad.

Oh Vincent! I love that dog and he looks just like my Bella but I guess most yellow labs look a like but if my dog had been a boy I would have named it Vincent. Anyway, it was so cute to catch a little nit pick as Sawyer gives Vincent a treat.

Rose and Bernard head out of the Jungle and aren't too terribly happy to see the three. Are we to take from their conversation that Jin knew they were in the jungle and didn't say anything?

Jack, Sayid and Hurley and Miles and Jin head to the Swan site. Sayid is bleeding bad and Jack tells Jin that he thinks he has found away to get him back to his wife. Was it just me or did Jin not look ecstatic about that idea? I think he must know that their time on the island together saved their marriage and that if they go back to pre 815 the love they have know will be lost.

Back in the Jungle with Rose and Bernard they explain that they are retired and make a good point that no matter what is happening in the jungle they would still be trying to find ways to fight with each other. Sawyer knows she is right. What would make them stop fighting, the more they fight the more they prove the evil guy right.

As the three amigo's leave Rose and Bernard, Bernard asks Juliet if she wants to stay for tea. You also see that Juliet is lightly holding her stomach, does Bernard know what's going to happen
to her?

Ilana has her group show Lapidus what is in the box and honestly I didn't make the connection but whatever it was it was to show Jacob what he was up against. Here Bram tells Lapidus that they are the good guys and I believe that.

They find the cabin and Bram notices right away that the ash is broken. Apparently Jacob hasn't been staying in the cabin because the evil guy has been staying there and when the ash was broken he got free reign. It reminds me how God has allowed satan to have so much freedom until he will be gone forever.

Here we have the fourth flashback and it is Ilana very injured and bandaged up so you can hardly see her face. I have no idea how she got in this condition but hopefully we will found out next season. Jacob comes and asks for her help. We don't actually see Jacob touch her but if he didn't I believe it's because she's already been chosen and there is no need to physically touch her.

Ilana is in the cabin and figures out that Jacob hasn't been using the cabin and finds his message that he is in the statue which seems to be his home so why was he ever staying in the cabin and was he ever staying there?

We have the 5th flashback and we see Jacob sitting on a bench with his back against the building that Locke falls from. Jacob knew that this would happen to Locke and made a b-line to resurrect him because he sure looked dead to me.

Now we see "Locke" and the others come upon the Losties old camp, "home sweet home". You can see for Sun that seeing the old camp and Aaron's cradle brings on a lot of emotions and I'm sure she is thinking of her little one as she sits by the cradle. And we finally see someone finding the ring, I can't believe it's been two seasons since Charlie left it in Aarons cradle.

"Locke" interrupts Ben's alone time and asks him if remembers where they first met. Ben finally admits that he has never met Jacob and is embarrassed that he has never actually seen him but lying is what he does.

"Locke" is still working on getting Ben so he can get him to kill Jacob and make it so it is his decision. I believe the evil guy's loop hole is to get someone to decide to kill Jacob of their own free will and not because they are told to. "Locke" reminds Ben of all the horrible things that have happened to him in the name of someone he has never even met. That conversation is something that we tell ourselves all the time when we think of believing in someone higher than ourselves that we can't "see". "Locke" has put some serious doubt in Ben's mind that Jacob never had his good in mind.

In the 6th flashback we see Jin and Sun's wedding and Jin tells Sun that they will never be separated because to be separated is to mean that the sky is separated from the earth. What an accurate way to describe how they are separated now. We also see that the wedding dress she is wearing is not the same as the one we've seen in their previous wedding flashback.

Jin and Sun are in their receiving line and a lady asks them when they are going to have kids and Sun says "maybe on their honeymoon" which is kind of how it happened for them. Then we see Jacob come and he touches them both and I believe he chooses them because he sees how deep their love can be and love like that is good and pure.

As we near the end of part one we see what the stops van. Sawyer, Juliet, and Kate.

If you have read this whole thing, that's an accomplishment because I'm sure it was hard to read, it was hard to write. I'm not a writer, the last writing course I took was 6 years ago. I'm just an avid, avid fan of the best show ever created and I hope I get better at this.
