Des mans up and travels to the museum grounds where the event is being held. As a mysterious man in a black hat plays Chopin's "Fantasie Impromptu" like all the cool kids on this show, Desmond meets Mrs. Widmore and she is none other than Eloise Hawking, only with fabulously poofy hair, that makes me miss Alice Horton -- or would had Alice ever been this bad a day in her life. Eloise is totally fine with Desmond's disappointing news, which seems weird after seeing both Charles and George quake in their boots at the very idea of disappointing her. And it seems weird because it is. On his way out of the venue, Des overhears some employees reading off the approved guest list. The name Penny Milton is the one that catches his ear, but when he stops to inquire about her, the previously oh-so-cool Madame Widmore won't let Des find out one detail about Ms. Paradise Lost Milton. She runs him off, telling him that what he's doing is a "violation" (hmmm, of whose rules and from which reality) and that he needs to stop looking for whatever it is he thinks he's looking for. When Des asks how she knows what he wants, Eloise says, "Because I bloody do." Des wants to either see the list or know why he can't. Eloise: "You're not ready yet, Desmond." Magnet-free resonance for the win!
