July 1977
Day 1
"316"
- Jack, Hurley and Kate wake-up to find themselves on the Island near a waterfall.
- Jin arrives in a DHARMA van, surprised to see his old friends.

"Namaste"
- Sawyer prepares the three to become DHARMA Initiative recruits, while Jin drives to ask Radzinsky at the Flame if he has any information about the plane, hoping to find Sun.
- When a motion sensor is activated near the Flame, Jin finds Sayid walking in the jungle with handcuffs. Jin treats Sayid as a Hostile because Radzinsky follows him.
- Jack is assigned as a Workman, Hurley a Chef, and Kate to the Motor Pool as they take their Orientation.
- Sawyer and Phil lock Sayid in a cell until they decide what to do with him.
- Jack asks Sawyer what he plans to do while a young Ben Linus brings Sayid a sandwich.
Day 2
- Sayid is separately visited in his jail cell by young Ben, Horace Goodspeed, Sawyer, and Roger Linus.

- After refusing to say anything of his origin or purpose among the DHARMA Initiative, Horace brings him to Oldham who gives Sayid a truth serum and interrogates him revealing his future origin and knowledge of some of the DHARMA stations and the Purge.
- Juliet talks to Kate about her relationship with Sawyer at the motor pool while Sawyer brings the captive Sayid to the Barracks.
- After several DHARMA folk vote to execute Sayid, Sawyer tries to let him escape, but he refuses.
- While Sawyer asks Kate why they came back to the Island, Ben sends a burning DHARMA van into a house as a distraction to break Sayid out in hopes he will take him with him to the Hostiles. Instead, after leaving the Barracks, Sayid jumps Jin, takes his gun, and shoots Ben.
- Jin puts Ben in his van and drives him back to the Barracks to be put under Juliet's care.
Day 3
- Despite Juliet's best efforts, young Ben is losing too much blood. She requests Jack's help since he is a surgeon. When he refuses, Kate offers to give blood to help. Meanwhile, Miles tries to explain time travel to Hurley.
- As a last resort, Juliet tells Kate to take him to the Others. Sawyer catches up to her just inside the Sonar fence to help her save young Ben.
- They bring him to Richard Alpert who takes him to The Temple, but first warns them that this will make Ben become one of them.
- A 40-year-old Charles Widmore tells young Ben he is one of the Others now.
- Sawyer tells Miles to erase the security footage that shows he and Kate taking Ben across the border. Before Miles is able to do so, Horace asks him to deliver something to Radzinsky at Grid 334 in Hostile territory.
- Miles delivers the body bag in which Radzinsky puts Alvarez's body. Miles discovers he died from a filling being dislodged from a tooth and blown through his brain which Pierre Chang believes to have been caused by the electromagnetism.
- Horace then tells Miles to take the body to Chang at the Orchid. Hurley insists they carpool since he was going to deliver sandwiches. Hurley sees the body and when Miles explains, Hurley realizes he can talk to the dead and confesses he can too.
- Meanwhile, Kate returns and so does Roger. Juliet tells him he left when she stepped out. When Kate tries to talk to him, he gets suspicious of her. He asks Jack about her.
- Chang threatens Hurley to keep quiet, and Miles tells Hurley that Chang is his father, but doesn't want to say any more. Chang gets Miles to drive him back to Radzinsky which Hurley recognizes to be the Swan.
- Upon returning that evening, Hurley tries to convince Miles to get to know his father and Miles discovers Hurley is writing The Empire Strikes Back.
- Jack tells Sawyer that Roger is suspicious and Phil tells Sawyer he knows he took young Ben.
- After watching Pierre, Lara, and his 3-month-old self through the window, Chang asks Miles to drive him to the dock where scientists from Ann Arbor are arriving, including Daniel Faraday who has been gone for a long time.
Day 4
- Early in the morning, Daniel discovers from Jack that he, Kate, and Hurley have returned by plane according to Eloise Hawking's instructions, and tells Jack that they were not meant to be there.
- When Jack tells Sawyer that Daniel has returned, Sawyer tells him he is busy with Phil tied up in his closet.
- Meanwhile, Daniel has Miles drive him to the Orchid where he awaits and follows Pierre Chang down the elevator.
- During construction of The Orchid, workers discover an underground chamber containing the frozen wheel that Pierre Chang warns them not to open because of the energy inside. Daniel Faraday clandestinely observes.
- Daniel tells Chang to evacuate the Island because of a greater amount of energy about to release under the Swan station in six hours. When asked how he knows this, Daniel tells he is from the future.

- Four hours before the Incident, Daniel reaches the Hostiles' camp seeking out Eloise and holds Richard Alpert at gunpoint. Eloise shoots Daniel from behind.
- Younger Widmore and another Hostile find Jack and Kate watching in the bushes and put them in a tent where Eloise asks why Daniel needed the bomb. Jack explains he can change things by detonating it.
- Radzinsky, Phil, and Horace hold Sawyer and Juliet in the security station demanding to know where Kate is. Radzinsky beats Sawyer but he refuses to talk.
- Mitch discovers Jack, Kate, and Hurley were last minute entries to the sub's manifest. Meanwhile Hurley gathers food for he, Miles, and Jin to escape to the beach. Dr. Chang follows him and when he discovers they really are from the future, he evacuates the Island.
- Eloise, Erik, and Richard take Jack and Kate to Jughead. Sayid shoots Erik and joins the rest to the tunnels below the waterfall to Jughead. Kate refuses to join them, and returns to DHARMA.
- When Chang gives the order to evacuate, Sawyer demands to be put on the sub, then he will tell them what they want to know. Radzinsky gets Sawyer to draw a map of the Hostile's camp.
- The evacuees board the sub including young Charlotte with her mother, Lara Chang with baby Miles, and Saywer and Juliet. Kate boards the sub after getting caught coming back in. The sub prepares to depart for Ann Arbor.
- Kate convinces Juliet and Sawyer that they need to stop Jack from detonating a hydrogen bomb on the Island.
- Two hours before the Incident, Jack and Sayid dismantle the hydrogen bomb in the tunnels under the DHARMA Initiative's Barracks, in order to remove its core. Richard breaks a hole in the basement of one of the houses, then knocks Eloise out to prevent her traveling with them to detonate the bomb because she is pregnant.
- Roger Linus recognizes Jack and Sayid sneaking across the compound and begin shooting at them before they escape in a van driven by Hurley, along with Jin and Miles.
- Kate, Juliet and Sawyer take a raft back to the Island and reunite with Rose and Bernard who have been caring for Vincent and living near the beach in their own cabin for the past 3 years.
- Hurley drives to the construction site of the Swan station, while Jack treats Sayid's wounds, however they are stopped by Juliet, Sawyer, and Kate.
- Jack and Sawyer get into a fist fight, which is broken up by Juliet, who now agrees with Jack that they must detonate the bomb. Juliet then breaks up with Sawyer, claiming that although they love each other, they are not meant to be together, and that if they never meet then she will never have to lose him.
- Before the survivors arrive, Phil radios Radzinsky warning of their arrival. A massive gunfight ensues, wherein the survivors gain the upper hand, allowing Jack to drop the bomb into the pit at the same time that the drill hits the energy source. The strong magnetism draws all metallic objects towards the drilled hole. Phil is stabbed by a rebar, Dr. Chang's arm is crushed and Juliet is dragged into the chasm by a metal chain.
- Sawyer grabs her hand, but is unable to save her; she falls to the bottom of the pit, and Sawyer cries. Severely injured, Juliet hits the hydrogen bomb with a rock 8 times until it detonates.
