The Last Recruit
Synopsis
Before you watch
The Last Recruit aired on April 20, 2010, the last new episode for two weeks. Stephen Semel, who edited episodes early in the show’s run, directed his second episode, and Paul Zbyszewski and Graham Roland wrote their third and final script.
Where things stand: Hurley has taken on a leadership role, and Desmond is acting with purpose in the flash-sideways. Widmore’s package is on the Island, and the Man in Black keeps gathering people. There are five episodes left after this one.
The setup is short: alliances shift fast, and the groups come together for the endgame. Eight people share the centre this time, so it plays as an ensemble hour, pulling threads from the whole season into one place. This is a good moment to check you remember who is with whom. The run from here to the finale is tight.
