This is a chronology of the lives of the Flight 815 survivors who remained on the Island, as well as Juliet, Daniel, Charlotte, and Miles, after Ben moved the Island and "dislodged" them from time. According to what John Locke tells Charles Widmore in "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham," the time shifts apparently occur over the course of nearly a week, from the time Ben turns the wheel until Locke turns it, as Locke claims it was approximately four days for him from the point he saw young Widmore until he teleported off the Island to Tunisia.

Time shifts[]

Timeline

First shift: Between 2001–2002[]

"Because You Left"

  • The sky clears and Locke finds himself alone.
  • Daniel Faraday returns to the Island with the Zodiac raft. Bernard informs Sawyer and Juliet that the camp has disappeared. Daniel explains that it hasn't disappeared, but rather hasn't been built yet and asks to be taken to something man-made. Juliet suggests the Swan station.
  • On their way to the Swan, Sawyer demands answers from Daniel, who explains that the Island is skipping, like a record on a turn table, because Ben turned the wheel.
  • While climbing a hill, Locke sees the Beechcraft crash. He goes to inspect the plane and is shot off the cliff by Ethan Rom. As Ethan prepares to kill Locke, the sky lights up again.

Second shift: Day 4, 2007[]

"Because You Left"

  • The light clears and it's dark out. Locke notices that Ethan is gone. He hides by the burnt Beechcraft to check his wound.
  • Sawyer, Juliet, Daniel, Miles, and Charlotte arrive at the destroyed Swan station. Sawyer and Juliet want to see if they can warn Jack and the others not to get on the helicopter, but Daniel explains that they can't change anything.
  • Richard Alpert finds Locke and tends to Locke's bullet wound while the Man in Black posing as Locke and Ben look on. As per the MIB's instructions, he gives Locke a compass that he says Locke must return to him in another time. Richard tells Locke that the people on the helicopter are already back home. Richard also tells Locke that the only way to save the Island is to get his people back and that Locke will have to die to do that. At this point, the sky lights up again.

Third shift: Between 2001–2002[]

"Because You Left"

  • In the daylight Locke looks up at the Beechcraft and sees the engine smoking through the trees, showing that it has recently crashed.
  • The light clears and the group at the Swan find the Hatch, still buried. Sawyer knocks on the front door, trying to get the occupants to open the door and get supplies. Daniel convinces him that he can't get in. Soon after, Sawyer, Juliet, Charlotte, and Miles leave for the beach camp. Muttering to himself that he hope this will work, Daniel knocks on the door, and Desmond comes out wearing a HAZMAT suit, suggesting that this shift takes place before the day of the crash. Daniel tells Desmond that he's special and the rules don't apply to him. He then tells Desmond that if he ever gets off the Island, he must go to Oxford and find Daniel's mother. The flash occurs before Daniel can tell Desmond the name of his mother, Eloise Hawking.

Fourth shift: Late 1954[]

"The Lie"

  • At the beach, the survivors try to start a fire. Neil "Frogurt" complains, saying that they're wasting their time and they could move again at any moment. Daniel returns to the beach and explains that they can't leave the Island without a new bearing, which Daniel decides to start working on right away. Miles leaves to find something for the camp to eat.
  • At night, Bernard is still trying to start a fire. Charlotte tells Daniel that she's having a headache and that she forgot her mom's maiden name. She asks him if he knows what's happening to her. Miles returns with a dead boar and asks for a knife. Neil starts to rant and insult his fellow castaways and is suddenly struck by a flaming arrow. The camp is hit by a rain of flaming arrows and the survivors try to flee, many of them dying in the attempt. Later, Sawyer and Juliet trek through the jungle trying to regroup with the other castaways, but are captured by three men. As one of the men is about to cut off Juliet's hand, Locke intervenes and saves Sawyer and Juliet.

  • While Locke, Juliet and Sawyer are making their way back to the creek with Jones and Cunningham, Jones snaps Cunningham's neck before he can reveal where the Hostile's camp is and escapes into the jungle.
  • Locke tracks Jones' trail and finds the location of the Hostiles' camp anyway.
