S4E1 · The Beginning of the End

Complete story — includes the ending

Desmond informs the survivors of Charlie's death and warning about the Kahana boat. The badly wounded Naomi Dorrit calls the Kahana before dying. Hurley gets lost in the jungle and finds Jacob's cabin, seeing Christian Shephard inside. When the survivors regroup, Jack attempts to kill Locke, who gathers a small group that includes the Littletons, the Rousseaus, and Sawyer. They head for the Barracks as Locke insists that everyone is in danger. After they leave, physicist Daniel Faraday parachutes down to the island and asks for Jack. In the future, Hurley voluntarily commits himself to Santa Rosa after being haunted by visions of Charlie, who insists that "they need you." Oceanic lawyer Michael Abaddon visits to offer Hurley assistance, though Hurley is unnerved by him. Jack visits and asks if Hurley is "going to tell," and insists he will never return to the island.
