Continuity: When Desmond is speaking with Mr. Widmore in the restroom, Widmore washes his hands by grabbing a towel from a tray to the right of the sink. He leaves the water running and leaves the restroom. Desmond then flashes back to the boat. When Desmond flashes back to the restroom it is obvious that the tray is to the left of the sink that was left on by Mr. Widmore in the previous scene.

Quotes:

Penny Widmore: Hello?
Desmond Hume: Penny?
Penny Widmore: Desmond?
Desmond Hume: Penny... Penny, answer. Answer, Penny
Penny Widmore: Des, where are you?
Desmond Hume: I'm... I'm on a boat. Um... I've been on an island, and - - Oh, my god, Penny. Is that really you?
Penny Widmore: Yeah! Yes, it's me!
Desmond Hume: You believe me? You still care about me?
Penny Widmore: Des, I've been looking for you for the past three years. I know about the island. I've been researching and then when I spoke to your friend Charlie, that's when I knew you were still alive. That's when I knew I wasn't crazy. Des, are you still there?
Desmond Hume: Yes, yes, I'm here! I'm still here, can you hear me?

Best Episode this Season

This is an episode that keeps your attention the whole way through. I can say, for me, without a doubt this is the best episode this year and probably the best episode of the entire series. I recorded it and will keep and watch it over and over. This episode sheds light on some of the questions I have had since the beginning of the season. It will be interesting to see where the writers go from here. Will they go further down the rabbit hole? Will they skew off into another direction? I can't wait to watch the next few episodes. I'm as excited as ever to be a Lost fan.I wont give away any details. Just pay attention and enjoy the show.

Thumbs up! Way up!

10/10 for sure
