Flash occurs (5th) Losties are transported to November 1st, 2004

Everything material disappears from the Other’s 1954 tent camp, except for Locke, Charlotte, Faraday, Sawyer, Juliet, and Miles.

Charlotte develops a nosebleed and collapses into Faraday’s arms. Charlotte is very sick.

On Island- Sawyer, Locke, Faraday, Miles, and Juliet gather around Charlotte, as she is unconscious with nosebleed. Faraday to Juliet concerning nosebleeds” I think its neurological. Our brains have an internal clock, a sense of time; the flashes throw the clock off, like really bad jet lag.

On island- Locke- “We have to go back to the Orchid.” Ben used the Orchid to leave the island, and if I can do the same thing “I believe I can save us.” This is all happening because they left. I think it will stop if I bring them back. Sawyer tells Locke that the Losties aboard the helicopter are dead. Locke tells Sawyer they are not dead, but does not explain how he knows this. All that matters is that they come back, even if it kills me.

Charlotte wakes up. At first she doesn’t recognize Faraday, but then feels better.

The group then leaves for the Orchid.

On Island- Locke, Sawyer, Faraday, Charlotte, Juliet, and Miles are moving toward the beach camp. As the group moves toward the beach camp, a light from the Swan shines toward the sky. Locke tells them to steer clear of the light. The group moves around the Swan. Charlotte feels better. Faraday tells Charlotte after they reach the beach, they will take the zodiac around to the other side of the island, and she can rest. Miles develops a nosebleed. The group hears screams. Sawyer investigates alone and sees Kate delivering Claire’s son, Aaron. Just at this time flash six occurs.

On island – Day- Locke tell Sawyer about the light shining from the Swan. Locke tells Sawyer he didn’t try to influence his earlier self because he needed to go through the pain to be where he is now. Miles tells Faraday about his nosebleed. Miles tells Faraday he shouldn’t be getting a nosebleed as he was only on the island for two weeks. Faraday answers, “ Are you sure about that?” The group then finds the beach camp.
The camp is deserted and the zodiac is missing along with Rose, Bernard, and Vincent. They find two outrigger boats. One has a bottle of water with an Ajira label on it.
The group takes one of the outrigger and paddles toward the Orchid. Because of Charlotte's weak condition, Locke decides to take an easier path to the Orchid. This path involves traveling south by cannoe from the beach camp, going around the island, landing on the east coast where they can hike through the east mountain range, and approaching the Orchid from a gentle slope. Traveling north would have been a direct and quicker route, but would have involved a steeper mountain approach.

As they are paddling Sawyer says to Juliet "I saw Kate last night in the jungle, just before the last flash.  She was delivering Claire's baby." Juliet responds "That was two months ago". Sawyer says "Time travels' a bitch."
 Another outrigger appears behind them and starts shooting at the group with a rifle. Juliet returns rifle fire. Flash seven occurs.
