Lighthouse
Synopsis
Before you watch
Lighthouse aired on February 23, 2010. Jack Bender directed, and Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof wrote it.
Where things stand: the Man in Black has gone after Sawyer, a cave of names has turned up, and Kate has left the Temple to find Sawyer. The survivors still there are waiting to see what happens next, and the flash-sideways keeps showing familiar people in unfamiliar lives.
Jack and Hurley find a lighthouse, and Jack has to face up to his role on the Island. It is Jack and Hurley together for most of the hour, two people who have been through the whole show side by side. Jorge Garcia later told the official magazine that this shoot took him back to a clifftop spot he had not visited in three years. Hurley has always been the show’s reaction shot, the one saying what the audience is thinking, and that is worth remembering here.
