Complete story — includes the ending
The smoke monster attacks Rousseau's group and Jin jumps forward several weeks, where Rousseau kills her team after they contract an illness that makes them violent. After another flash, he reunites with the survivors. As the flashes render Charlotte immobile, she instructs Locke how to find the wheel if the Orchid has not yet been built. Before dying, she admits to Daniel that she grew up on the island and spent her life trying to return despite a man (who she believes was Daniel) telling her not to as a child. Jin gives Locke his wedding ring to convince Sun that he is dead and dissuade her from returning. Christian Shephard instructs Locke to bring the Six back and find Eloise; then Locke resets the wheel, stopping the flashes but trapping the remaining survivors in 1974. In 2007, Ben stops Sun from killing him by asserting that Jin is alive and giving her the ring as proof. She, Ben, and Jack meet Desmond as they go to see Eloise, who is revealed as Daniel's mother.
