Ajira Plane: Frank starts it up and says they probably don't have the battery power for another go, if this one fails. Oh crap, we have to cut back to...
Glow Cave: As Hurley and Ben are gently lowering Jack to the Tubeyhole, there's another earthquake. Our big damn hero falls to the cavern floor, where he finds Desmond -- alive. Desmond explains what happened and adds, "It didn't work. I thought I'd leave this place. I'm still here. You were right, Jack." Jack: "Well, there's a first time for everything." Hee. Desmond wants to stay and finish the job since the electromagnetism will kill Jack, but Jack insists Des return to his wife and son. He wraps the rope around Des, who asks, "What about you, Jack?" Jack: "I'll see you in another life, brother." Gulp.
Hydra: Sawyer and Kate swim ashore and find Claire on the beach. After they ride out another tremor, Sawyer looks up to see more of Craphole falling into the sea. Meanwhile, Frank, Richard and Miles are revving up the plane. Kate runs to Claire and when Sawyer sees the plane moving some distance away, he hollers that they've got to go and get on it. Claire screams that she can't. "LOOK AT ME! This island's made me crazy. I don't want Aaron to see me like this. I don't even know how to be a mother anymore." Kate kneels in front of her. "Listen to me, none of us do, at least not at first, but you're not alone. Let me help you." Provided your mother doesn't shoot me on sight when I try to get within three continents of the tyke. Claire's finally won over. She, Kate and Sawyer rush toward the plane. It starts to move. Kate tells Sawyer to tell Frank they're coming. Sawyer's magically waterproof walkie talkie still works, but God has pushed Frank's walkie off the copilot seat. It's on the floor and with engines running, no one hears James' call. Just as the plane is ready to taxi down the runway Sawyer and Kate made all those years ago, Frank sees them run in front of the plane. "Boys, we've got some late arrivals, open the door."
Glow Cave: Jack makes it to the Tubey cork, manages to lift it and drops it into the hole. He drags himself to the edge of the empty pool and lies there panting, as nothing changes.
