* JustFollowingOrders: Richard justifies the Others killing the members of the military who brought the Jughead bomb to the Island by stating that he was ordered to kill them, implicitly by Jacob.

'''Daniel:''' Yeah.\\
'''Richard:''' Yeah, well, so do I.


Added DiffLines:

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Averted. Ellie deduces that Faraday is not who he claims to be because of the unlikelihood of Charlotte, a British woman, and Miles, who has Chinese ancestry, being members of the United States Military in the 1950s.

Added DiffLines:

* EmergencyTemporalShift: Daniel's plan is to use the time flashes to his advantage by stalling after being captured by the Others and waiting for a flash to take the group to a time when their camp is not around. Unfortunately, the flash comes at the wrong time for Locke, as it stops Richard from telling him how to leave the Island.


Added DiffLines:

* RedShirt: The last remaining unnamed Oceanic 815 survivors who survived the flaming arrows attack in the previous episode are killed when they set off some landmines at the creek and are blown up.

** Locke refusing to shoot the young Charles Widmore ensures that he lives long enough to send the freighter to the Island, which causes Ben to move the Island, resulting in Locke being sent back in time in the first place.
** Invoked by Daniel, who advises Ellie to bury the hydrogen bomb specifically because he already knows that the Island is still standing fifty years later, and therefore the bomb can't go off in that time.

'''Season 5, Episode 3'''

!Jughead
In the Philippines, Desmond finds a local doctor, who helps Penny give birth to their son.

Three years later, Desmond and Penny arrive at Oxford. Penny is worried about what her father will do if he finds out they are there, but Desmond insists that he has to do what he can to help Faraday and everyone else. Desmond goes to Oxford University, but they have no record of Faraday having worked there. Desmond finds Daniel's lab, and a janitor explains that the university covered up his existence after one of his experiments went wrong. He visits Daniel's ex-girlfriend, Theresa Spencer, who has been left partially comatose by his experiment. Her sister explains that Charles Widmore has paid for her treatment ever since. Desmond goes to see Widmore, who tells him where to find Daniel's mother in Los Angeles, and warns him to deliver his message and then go back into hiding, or he risks putting himself and Penny in danger.

On the Island, Miles, Charlotte and Daniel are captured by the Others in 1954, who believe that they are members of the United States Military, come to retrieve a hydrogen bomb that they left on the Island. Sawyer, Juliet and Locke have captured two Others, but one of them, revealed to be the young Charles Widmore, kills the other and escapes. Locke tracks him back to his camp, and meets Richard, who does not recognise him. Daniel admits that he is in love with Charlotte. He tells an Other named Ellie that he is from the future, and that if they bury the hydrogen bomb, everything will be fine. Locke asks Richard how to get off the Island, but there is another time flash before he can tell him, and the Others' camp disappears. Charlotte suddenly collapses, with blood gushing from her nose.
