Desmond goes to say good-bye to the Main Monk. He tells Desmond that he can get him a ride back to town if he doesn't mind some heavy lifting. Desmond loads a bunch of wine into a car driven by -- Penny. He tells her how he is an ex-monk as of yesterday. She laughs at him, and he says it's not that funny. He tells her that God has big plans for him. She giggles some more. They flirt for a while, which strikes me as a really odd thing to do with a recently ex- monk. Where's that damn flirtation expert already? Geez, While Desmond and Penny flirt in the flashback, Hurley, Jin, and Charlie hold out the parachute to catch the pilot, Desmond climbs up the tree to cut the pilot down. After she drops, Hurley announces she is alive. Desmond shoves everyone out of the way. In the flashback, Desmond and Penny introduce themselves and stare meaningfully into each other's eyes. On the Island, Desmond starts to remove the pilot's helmet. He is still apologizing profusely to Penny and therefore is not prepared for the shock when he removes the helmet and finds someone who is definitely not Penny. Unless Penny photographs as a blonde but is actually African-American. The pilot mutters "Desmond" and then drifts out of consciousness. Everyone looks confused.
