LOST Season 3, Episode 9 “Stranger in a Strange Land”
Episode blurb (in white)

<font color="white"> Jack recalls his vacation in Thailand where the secret of his tattoo is revealed. He falls in love with a mysterious woman named Achara (Bai Ling). His curiosity leads him to find the answers he is looking for but not without crossing the line with her brother, Chet (James Huang). </font>

Quick Recap **Spoilers if you are not caught up through tonights episode**

The Others Camp

1.) Kate and Sawyer have escaped The Others and are on their way back to the main island.

2.) Jack has completed the spinal surgery on Ben.

3.) In exchange for her cooperation, Ben has agreed to let Juliette leave the project and return home.

The Survivors Camp

1.) According to Desmond, the button was in place to periodically expel electromagnetic energy that builds up in the island. He also claimed that the plane crash was the result of him not pushing the button. When Locke refused to push it at the end of season 2, Desmond was forced to go under the hatch to flip a failsafe switch that would destroy the hatch (and everyone in it) as it expelled the energy. Locke, Ecko and Desmond were in the hatch when he pulled the switch.

2.) After the hatch “imploded” Desmond awoke in his own past in the few years leading up to his crash on the island. When he tried to make decisions that would avert this, he was told that the universe is ‘self-correcting’ and that trying to avoid his fate on the island was futile.

3.) After being jolted back to the ‘current timeline’ Desmond can now see flashes of the future. As a result of this he saved Charlies life twice, but told him that because of the self-correcting nature of the universe that he could not save him from this fate.

4.) Desmonds ex, the daughter of Charles Windmere, has located the island via the electromagnetic pulse.

5.) From within another hatch, Locke and the others have picked up a surveillance feed from another station housing a man with an eyepatch.

6.) Sun, Jin and Sayiid lost Desmonds sailboat to the others, in the process Sun shot and killed a woman.

<font color="red">The Spoiler Rule

1.) Any discussion of any confirmed material/storylines that have not yet aired as part of network programming, no matter how trivial, are to be put in white.

Personal speculation on what will happen in future episodes? Not a spoiler.

Speculation on future episodes based on or influenced in any way by ‘insider’ information - podcasts, info from writers/producers, material from “The LOST Experience” or other similar sources? Spoiler.

If you are unsure about something, please err on the side of caution </font>

If they had told me it was going to be fifteen years, would it have been easier to endure?
