"'''Through the Looking Glass'''" is the 69th episode of ''[[Lost (TV series)|Lost]]'' and the last episode of the [[Lost (season 3)|third season]], written by [[Carlton Cuse]] and [[Damon Lindelof]], directed by [[Jack Bender]], and first aired on [[May 23]], [[2007]]. It was aired as a two-hour special episode, and is centric to [[Jack Shephard]]. The title is an allusion to [[Lewis Carroll]]'s novel ''[[Through the Looking-Glass|Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There]]'', and also a reference to [[DHARMA Initiative stations#Station ?: The Looking Glass|the DHARMA Initiative station]] found in the [[Greatest Hits (Lost)|previous episode]].


The episode begins on [[December 22]], [[2004]], ninety-two days after the crash of [[Oceanic Airlines]] Flight 815. The survivors have still not been rescued. The battle between the crash survivors and the dangerous and mysterious island inhabitants referred to as "[[Others (Lost)|The Others]]" comes to a head as ten of the Others ambush the surviors' camp and are subsequently killed. Meanwhile, most of the survivors go to the island's radio tower to communicate with a nearby ship. This is the first ''Lost'' episode to feature ''[[flashforward]]s'' throughout the episode, as opposed to the customary ''[[flashback]]s''. The flashforwards show the life of series protagonist [[Jack Shephard]] (played by [[Matthew Fox (actor)|Matthew Fox]]) in ruins after he has escaped the island.

The episode starts with the survivors leaving the beach to trek to the radio tower, with the exceptions of [[Sayid Jarrah|Sayid]], [[Bernard Nadler|Bernard]] and [[Jin-Soo Kwon|Jin]], given the task to shoot the dynamite-rigged tents when the [[Others (Lost)|Others]]' team arrives to kidnap the women. As the Others arrive, and approach the tents, Bernard and Sayid both manage to trigger the dynamite successfully, killing several of the Others on the beach. However, Jin, armed only with a handgun, misses the dynamite. A shoot-out ensues, resulting in the deaths of seven Others (including those killed in the explosions) and the capture of Jin, Sayid, and Bernard.


===DHARMA mass grave===
=== Background ===
[[John Locke (Lost)|Locke]] is shown alive, still in the DHARMA mass grave he fell into [[The Man Behind the Curtain (Lost)|two episodes previously]]. He tries to stand up, but finds that he has lost movement of his legs again. Distraught, he attempts to kill himself with a gun previously owned by one of the corpses, stops when he suddenly hears a whispering around him and then sees [[Walt Lloyd]], who despite Locke's protests, tells him to get up as he has work to do.

===Trek to the communications tower===
The survivors, led by [[Jack Shephard|Jack]], make their way toward the radio tower, but are worried that something has gone wrong because they only heard two explosions. To verify and possibly help, Sawyer and Juliet turn back, and Hurley tries to join them. Before leaving Juliet kisses Jack, when Kate is watching. Soon after Jack sees Kate sitting on a large rock trying to get a rock out of her shoe, after briefly talking he tells her he loves her. Sawyer rebuffs Hurley, telling him that he'll only get in the way.

Later, Jack's group is intercepted by [[Benjamin Linus|Ben]] and [[Alex (Lost)|Alex]], which Ben has brought with him to deliver her to "her new family" because of her betrayal to him and his group. Ben asks to speak to Jack, and they move apart from the group. Ben informs Jack that [[Characters of Lost#Naomi Dorrit|Naomi]] is not who she says she is, and that if he is successful in making contact with her boat, it will be disastrous for everyone on the island, including the crash survivors. Ben tells Jack to get Naomi's phone, or the surviving Others at the beach will shoot their detainees. Jack does not comply, and, after his minute is up, hears three gunshots. Distraught, Jack beats Ben severely, and brings him back to the group. Rousseau and Alex meet, and Ben tells Alex that Rousseau is her mother.

===The Looking Glass station===
Charlie, captured by Greta and Bonnie, is tortured until he gives details on how he was able to locate and find the station. After some time, he complies. Greta and Bonnie then contact Ben, who charges Mikhail the task of killing all three people in the station to preserve the signal jamming. Mikhail promptly does so, and after reaching the shoreline, shoots at Desmond's boat, making Desmond dive into the water and the station to take cover.


⚫
=== Ambush on the beach ===
Mikhail emerges and tells Greta and Bonnie to back off of Charlie, whom they are holding captive. Mikhail asks where Desmond, whom he followed underwater into the facility, is; the women aren't aware that he is there, Desmond is hiding in a nearby locker. As ordered by Ben, Mikhail kills Greta and fatally wounds Bonnie. As he is about to finish her off, Desmond emerges and shoots Mikhail in the chest with a spear gun.


⚫
The survivors leave the beach and begin their trek to the radio tower, with the exceptions of [[Sayid Jarrah]] ([[Naveen Andrews]]), [[Jin-Soo Kwon|Jin Kwon]] ([[Daniel Dae Kim]]) and [[Bernard Nadler]], who are given the task of shooting the dynamite-rigged tents. As the Others arrive, and approach the tents, Bernard and Sayid both manage to trigger the dynamite successfully, killing several of the Others on the beach. Jin, armed only with a handgun, misses the dynamite. A shoot-out ensues, resulting in the deaths of seven Others (including those killed in the explosions) and the capture of Jin, Sayid, and Bernard by the remaining Others: [[Tom (Lost)|Tom]], [[Characters of Lost#Ryan Pryce|Ryan Pryce]] and Jason.
⚫
Charlie is able to convince Bonnie to give him the code before she dies. She tells him the programmer was a musician &mdash; the code is the numeric tone equivalent of the [[The Beach Boys|Beach Boys]] song, "[[Good Vibrations]]", on a computer keypad. Charlie enters the code, disabling the signal jammer, as Desmond goes to get scuba gear. Charlie is contacted by [[Characters of Lost#Penelope "Penny" Widmore|Penelope Widmore]] via a video transmission. Charlie asks about the boat located off shore; Penelope, confused, says that she is not on the boat that Naomi claims to be from, and does not know who Naomi is. Mikhail appears outside the window holding a grenade, so Charlie locks the door to keep Desmond out (away from Penny on the screen) and to keep the water in the small room with him. Before drowning, Charlie writes "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand and shows it to Desmond through the window. He then makes the [[sign of the cross]] as he drowns.

=== Trek to the communications tower ===
===The Beach and Radio Tower===
⚫
At the beach, Tom reveals that the shots were fired into the sand, and none of the three survivors were killed, but are still in captivity. Unarmed, Sawyer and Juliet are watching from the trees, and much to the surprise of everyone, Hurley drives the [[Volkswagen]] van found in "[[Tricia Tanaka Is Dead]]" onto the beach, killing Ryan, the leader of the attack party. With the survivors gaining the upper hand Sayid breaks the neck of an Other, and Sawyer shoots Tom, saying it was for "[[Exodus (Lost)#Part 2|taking the kid off the raft]]". Hurley contacts Jack, verifying the deaths of all members of the attack party and the survival of the three captives.

⚫
Meanwhile, the trek party, able to now get a signal, arrive at the radio tower. Rousseau disables her distress signal, freeing the frequency for Naomi, who, unable to get a signal for her phone inside the tower, moves outside where she is successful. However she is stabbed in the back by Locke, who claims that Jack shouldn't make the call, or he'd kill them. Jack invites him to do so, but Locke is unable to. Against the wishes of Ben and Locke, Jack communicates with Naomi's boat, who tells the survivors that they will be sending rescue.
⚫
Jack leads the survivors toward the radio tower, but they worry that something has gone wrong when they hear only two explosions. Hoping to help, [[James "Sawyer" Ford]] ([[Josh Holloway]]) and Juliet turn back. [[Hugo "Hurley" Reyes]] ([[Jorge Garcia]]) tries to join them, but Sawyer tells Hurley that he will get in the way because of his obesity. Before leaving, Juliet kisses Jack, when [[Kate Austen]] ([[Evangeline Lilly]]) is watching. Soon after Jack tells Kate that he loves her. Later, Jack's group is intercepted by Ben and Alex. Ben speaks to Jack alone and tells him that Naomi is not who she says she is and that if he is successful in making contact with her boat, it will be disastrous for everyone on the island. Ben tells Jack to get Naomi's phone, or the surviving Others at the beach will shoot their detainees. Jack does not comply and hears three gunshots. Distraught, Jack beats Ben severely. Rousseau and Alex meet and they tie Ben up.


===Centric scenes===
=== The Looking Glass ===
⚫
The story central to Jack shows him depressed, unshaven, addicted to [[Oxycodone]], and heavily drinking. After finding a newspaper clipping, he attempts to commit suicide, but is prevented by a woman, distracted by Jack, crashing her car. Jack, revitalized, saves the woman and her son from the burning wreckage, branding him a local hero.


[[Image:Glass-promo53.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Charlie enters the code to disable the system jamming outgoing transmissions from the island.]]
His next scenes deal with his addiction to medication, alcohol, and his suicidal tendencies. Jack attempts to claim more Oxycodone, first claiming that he has one refill left, then using a new prescription he claims has his [[Christian Shephard|deceased father]]'s name, but is denied it. Jack then turns to stealing the medication, but is caught by Hamill, the new Chief of Surgery, who inquires to how and why Jack was able to save the woman so fast. Jack refutes any claims about any addiction, and challenges Hamill to bring Christian Shephard down - if Jack is more drunk than him, Hamill can fire him on the spot.
After diving down into the Looking Glass, Charlie is captured by the Others [[Characters of Lost#Greta|Greta]] and [[Characters of Lost#Bonnie|Bonnie]]. After ben hears this news, he charges [[Characters of Lost#Mikhail Bakunin|Mikhail Bakunin]] with the task of killing all three people in the station to preserve the signal jamming. Mikhail promptly makes his way to the station and shoots at Desmond, making Desmond dive into the water from his boat. Desmond goes down to the Looking Glass and hides in a closet. Mikhail arrives and kills Greta and fatally wounds Bonnie. As he is about to finish her off, Desmond emerges and shoots Mikhail through the chest with a spear gun.


⚫
Bonnie gives Charlie the code to switch the jamming off before she dies. Charlie enters the code, disabling the signal jammer. Charlie is contacted by Penelope via a video transmission. Charlie asks about the boat located off shore; Penelope, confused, says that she did not send the boat that Naomi claims to be from, and does not know who Naomi is. With a grenade, Mikhail blasts the window of the jamming room, and Charlie locks the door to save Desmond from drowning with him. Before he drowns, Charlie writes "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand and shows it to Desmond through the window.
Jack, stricken with grief, goes to the memorial service in a [[ghetto|predominately African-American neighborhood]], only to find that there had been no other visitors. The undertaker asks if Jack is friend or family, to which he responds "neither", and whether he would like the coffin opened, which he declines.


=== The beach and the radio tower ===
⚫
Throughout the back-story, Jack attempts to contact an unseen character, finally succeeding near the end of the episode and arranging a meeting near an airport. There the unseen person is seen to be Kate, revealing to audience that this period of time is actually a flash-forward rather than a flash-back as usual. Jack explains to her that he has been using his free pass to fly across the [[Pacific Ocean]] during weekends, wanting to return to the island; he tells her that they "were not supposed to leave." Kate rejects this, and drives away, leaving Jack to shout "We have to go back!" as the episode ends.

"Through the Looking Glass (Lost)"

"Through the Looking Glass" is the 22nd episode of the third season of the ABC television serial drama drama series Lost and the 69th episode overall. It was written by co-creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse and directed by executive producer Jack Bender.[1] The episode first aired on May 23, 2007, in the United States and Canada and was watched by an average of almost 14 million American viewers.[2] Like the previous two season finales, it was two hours long with commercials—twice the length of a normal episode, causing the episode to be aired in two parts in some countries.[3] Reviews for the episode were universally positive and the episode has been nominated for three 2007 Primetime Emmys.[4]

The episode begins on December 22, 2004, ninety-two days after the crash of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815. The survivors have still not been rescued. The battle between the crash survivors and the dangerous and mysterious island inhabitants referred to as "The Others" comes to a head as ten of the Others ambush the surviors' camp and are subsequently killed. Meanwhile, most of the survivors go to the island's radio tower to communicate with a nearby ship. This is the first Lost episode to feature flashforwards throughout the episode, as opposed to the customary flashbacks. The flashforwards show the life of series protagonist Jack Shephard (played by Matthew Fox) in ruins after he has escaped the island.

Plot

Background

No "previously on" segment begins the show; however, many important events led up to this episode. Nine days prior, the Others sent one of their own as a mole to live with the survivors.[5] The mole, Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell), decided that she is now working against the Others and befriended the survivors' leader Jack.[6] Juliet was told by the Others' leader Ben Linus (Michael Emerson) to mark any of the survivors' tents that are owned by pregnant women, such as that of Sun Kwon (Yunjin Kim).[7] The Others will send ten of them to ambush the survivors' camp and kidnap the pregnant women for scientific research.[8] Jack and Danielle Rousseau, a woman whose boat crashed on the island sixteen years prior[9] and had her daughter stolen from her by the Others,[10] have devised a plan to blow up the ambushing Others with dynamite.[11]

Five days prior, a parachutist named Naomi Dorrit crashed on the island.[12] She claims to be working for Penelope Widmore, island resident Desmond Hume's (Henry Ian Cusick) girlfriend who is in search of the island.[13] Naomi has a satellite phone, but she cannot communicate with her nearby ship, because the signal is being jammed by an underwater Dharma Initiative research station called "The Looking Glass." Additionally, the survivors' camp is not close enough to the island's radio tower, which is where a signal can be sent out strongest.[11] Desmond, who can see glimpses of the future,[14] has told the survivor Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) that he must swim down into the Looking Glass and die to save the survivors.

One of the survivors, John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), was shot earlier in the day by Ben and has fallen into a ditch.[15] When Locke is about to commit suicide with a gun, he is stopped by what appears to be Walt Lloyd, who tells Locke that he has work to do. Meanwhile, Ben tells Richard Alpert to lead the rest of the Others to "The Temple." Ben is now going to see the survivors with his adopted daughter, Alex (Rousseau's daughter),[16] to persuade Jack not to call Naomi's ship for rescue.

Ambush on the beach

The survivors leave the beach and begin their trek to the radio tower, with the exceptions of Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews), Jin Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) and Bernard Nadler, who are given the task of shooting the dynamite-rigged tents. As the Others arrive, and approach the tents, Bernard and Sayid both manage to trigger the dynamite successfully, killing several of the Others on the beach. Jin, armed only with a handgun, misses the dynamite. A shoot-out ensues, resulting in the deaths of seven Others (including those killed in the explosions) and the capture of Jin, Sayid, and Bernard by the remaining Others: Tom, Ryan Pryce and Jason.

Jack leads the survivors toward the radio tower, but they worry that something has gone wrong when they hear only two explosions. Hoping to help, James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) and Juliet turn back. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia) tries to join them, but Sawyer tells Hurley that he will get in the way because of his obesity. Before leaving, Juliet kisses Jack, when Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) is watching. Soon after Jack tells Kate that he loves her. Later, Jack's group is intercepted by Ben and Alex. Ben speaks to Jack alone and tells him that Naomi is not who she says she is and that if he is successful in making contact with her boat, it will be disastrous for everyone on the island. Ben tells Jack to get Naomi's phone, or the surviving Others at the beach will shoot their detainees. Jack does not comply and hears three gunshots. Distraught, Jack beats Ben severely. Rousseau and Alex meet and they tie Ben up.

The Looking Glass

File:Glass-promo53.PNG
Charlie enters the code to disable the system jamming outgoing transmissions from the island.

After diving down into the Looking Glass, Charlie is captured by the Others Greta and Bonnie. After ben hears this news, he charges Mikhail Bakunin with the task of killing all three people in the station to preserve the signal jamming. Mikhail promptly makes his way to the station and shoots at Desmond, making Desmond dive into the water from his boat. Desmond goes down to the Looking Glass and hides in a closet. Mikhail arrives and kills Greta and fatally wounds Bonnie. As he is about to finish her off, Desmond emerges and shoots Mikhail through the chest with a spear gun.

Bonnie gives Charlie the code to switch the jamming off before she dies. Charlie enters the code, disabling the signal jammer. Charlie is contacted by Penelope via a video transmission. Charlie asks about the boat located off shore; Penelope, confused, says that she did not send the boat that Naomi claims to be from, and does not know who Naomi is. With a grenade, Mikhail blasts the window of the jamming room, and Charlie locks the door to save Desmond from drowning with him. Before he drowns, Charlie writes "Not Penny's Boat" on his hand and shows it to Desmond through the window.

The beach and the radio tower

The first appearance of the radio tower in the series.

At the beach, it is revealed that the shots were fired into the sand, and none of the three survivors were killed, but are still in captivity. Unarmed, Sawyer and Juliet are watching from the trees, and much to the surprise of everyone, Hurley drives the van he found[17] onto the beach, running over Ryan. Sayid breaks Jason's neck and Sawyer shoots Tom in revenge for taking Walt off the raft. Hurley uses Tom's walkie-talkie to contact Jack and tells him what happened.

The trek party, now able to get a signal, arrive at the radio tower. Rousseau disables her distress signal, freeing the frequency for Naomi. Naomi is stabbed in the back by Locke, who claims that if Jack makes the call, Locke will kill Jack. Jack invites him to do so, but Locke is unable to. Against the wishes of Ben and Locke, Jack communicates with Minkowski on Naomi's boat, who tells the survivors that they will be sending rescue.

Flashforward

File:Suicidal Jack.PNG
Jack stands on the edge of a bridge and prepares for his suicide.

A secondary storyline shows Jack depressed, unshaven, addicted to Oxycodone, and heavily drinking. After finding a newspaper clipping about a death, he attempts to commit suicide. As he is about to jump off a bridge, a woman, distracted by Jack, crashes her car. Jack, revitalized, saves the woman and her son from the burning wreckage, making him a local hero. Jack, stricken with grief, goes to the memorial service for an unknown person to find that there had been no other visitors. The undertaker asks if Jack is friend or family, to which he responds, "neither."

Jack attempts to get more Oxycodone after he runs out, first claiming that he has one refill left, then using a new prescription he claims has his deceased father's name, but is denied it. Jack then steals the medication, and as he is leaving the hospital he runs into Rob Hamill, the new Chief of Surgery. Hamill confronts Jack about his attempted suicide, but Jack refuses to talk, saying Hamill cannot help him, and leaves. Jack attempts to contact an unseen character, finally succeeding and arranging a meeting near an airport. There the unseen person is revealed to be Kate, revealing to the audience that this period of time is actually a flashforward rather than a flashback as usual. Jack explains to her that he has been using the free pass from Oceanic Airlines to fly across the Pacific Ocean during weekends, wanting to return to the island; he tells her that they "were not supposed to leave." Kate rejects this, and drives away, leaving Jack to shout "We have to go back!"

Production

Actors Jorge Garcia (Hurley) & Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) with executive producers Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse & Bryan Burk.

The title is an allusion to Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There[18] and also a reference to the fictitious 1980's DHARMA Initiative research station found in the previous episode. Although it was not named or explored until the previous episode, the Looking Glass, was first alluded to when Sayid found its cable in the first season[19] and later when it was seen by Locke on the blast door map in the second season.[20]

While filming mostly took place on Oahu, Hawaii, some scenes were shot in Los Angeles.[21] The hospital scenes were filmed in the same sets used for the ABC show, Grey's Anatomy.[22] Shooting began on April 13[23] and ended on May 7, 2007.[24] Post-production wrapped on May 21, 2007, only two days before it aired on television.[18] The dramatic score was composed by series musician Michael Giacchino, while popular music was also featured and referenced throughout the episode. While Jack drives to the funeral parlor, he listens to "Scentless Apprentice" by Nirvana. The code that Charlie disables the jamming in the Looking Glass is to the tune of "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys.

Despite not being mentioned in the official press release,[1] Malcolm David Kelley returned to reprise his role as Walt Lloyd with the credit of "special guest star." While the 10-year old[25] character had left the island 16 days previous to the events of the episode, the now-15-year old[26] actor had not filmed Lost in one year. In his single scene, Walt is visibly taller, has physically aged and has a deeper voice.[27] Although uncredited, show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse lent their voices for the unseen roles of the flight captain and newscaster, respectively.[28]

This episode concluded the story arc about Charlie's death that began earlier in the season, when Desmond prophesied Charlie's death.[29] Throughout the season, Charlie escaped death.[30] Desmond told Charlie that he had to die this time for his girlfriend Claire Littleton to get rescued from the island.[11] The storyline of Charlie's death was conceived while producing the latter part of the second season after the storyline of Charlie's drug addiction finished.[31] The news of his character's death was broken to Monaghan two episodes in advance.[32] Monaghan felt "relief" for knowing the future of his job on the show.[33] On the night of Monaghan's second last day on set, he was presented with a canoe paddle that had been made by the cast and crew and then took part in a gambling party.[34] Monaghan hopes to return to Lost as a guest star in flashbacks.[35]

Like the other Lost season finales, the cliffhanger final scene was given a codename, "The Rattlesnake in the Mailbox," and kept top secret.[36] After Lindelof and Cuse wrote the scene, only Matthew Fox (Jack), Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Jack Bender (executive producer/ director) and Jean Higgins (co-executive producer) were given copies of the script. Despite the security measures, a complete and detailed episode synopsis was uploaded online over a week before the episode aired.[37] Disney investigated the leak[38] The leak combined with the cliffhanger prompted Lindelof and Cuse responded by entering "radio silence," which was be broken at Comic-Con International 2007.[39] The funeral parlor that Jack visits is called "Hoffs/Drawlar," which is an anagram of "flashforward."[40]

The final scene was called "a great twist," by the San Francisco Chronicle,[56] "shocking" by BuddyTV,[57] "mind-blowing" by E![49] and Entertainment Weekly said that the cliffhanger "[revealed] new dimensions to [Lost's] creative world."[58] Matthew Fox's lead role acting was also praised, his performance being called "Emmy worthy" by BuddyTV,[52] "excellent" by IGN[59] and TV Guide,[55] "fearless [and] balls-to-the-wall"[60] and "tour-de-force",[61] by another TV Guide writer, while another TV Guide critic wrote that Fox has "stepped it up again."[51]

The episode has been nominated in the categories of "Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series," "Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series," and "Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series" in the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards.[4] The season finale was also submitted for Emmy consideration in the category of "Outstanding Drama Series;"[62] however, it was not nominated.[63] "Through the Looking Glass" was the AOL primetime poll winner[64] and editors' pick for "Best Season-Ending Cliffhanger."[65] Furthermore, it was voted the best Lost episode of the first three seasons after over 200 000 votes in a series of polls run by blogger DarkUFO.[66] "Through the Looking Glass" is currently nominated for "Drama Episode of the Year" in the 2007 Gold Derby TV Awards, in which anyone can vote.[67]
