On the island, Jack has appendicitis and Juliet saves the day. But we spend most of this episode discussing the flash-forward, in which Jack and Kate appear to be happily raising Aaron together until Hurley and Christian Shephard fan the flames of doubt within Jack, starting him down the path that leads back to the Island.

We're back for season four, folks! "The Beginning of the End" picks up right where season 3 left off. It's the first season premiere to focus on anyone but Jack, choosing Hurley instead.

We learn so much about Ben this week: He wasn't really born on the Island, his leadership of the Others is more precarious than we thought, and he's been lying about his relationship with Jacob — a lie that Locke calls him on to dramatic effect.
