Handlung
Rückblende
1977
Charles Widmore spricht zum ersten Mal mit Benjamin Linus.
Ein Mann kommt reitend in das Lager der Anderen. Er springt von seinem Pferd und sucht sofort Richard auf. Er ist entsetzt, dass Richard einen von ihnen gerettet hat. Richard erwiedert, dass Jacob es so wollte. Daraufhin betritt der Mann das Zelt, in dem sich Ben befindet. Ben ist immer noch verletzt durch die Schusswunde, die Sayid ihm zu getragen hat und fragt den Mann sofort, ob er bei ihnen bleiben kann. Der Mann sagt, dass die Insel ihn gerettet hat und er bald zurück zur DHARMA Initiative gehen muss, ob er will oder nicht. Doch Ben ist fest davon überzeugt, dass er bald einer von den Anderen sein wird. Ben fragt schließlich wer der Mann sei, mit dem er spricht. Er stellt sich mit Charles Widmore vor...
Gegen 1989
Ben and a young Ethan stand outside a camp, watching a tent. Ethan Rom attempts to convince Ben to let him take charge, but Ben tells Ethan to be quiet and enters the camp alone. Inside the tent is a sleeping Danielle Rousseau. Ben lifts his gun to kill her, but her baby (Alexandra) awakens and begins crying, and Ben knocks over Rousseau's music box. Rousseau questions Ben about what he is doing there and assumes that he is a carrier for the infection. Ben takes the baby in his arms, firing a shot into the sand and telling Rousseau not to move. He tells her that the child will be safe with them and that she should consider herself lucky to be left alive. He then tells her that if she ever hears whispers, she should immediately run away. Ben leaves the tent and the beach with the baby and Ethan.
Upon Ben's return to camp, he is angrily confronted by an aging Charles Widmore, who demands to know why Ben is holding a baby. Ben is angered that Widmore had not informed him of the baby prior to his accepting this mission. As such,Ben is unwilling to kill her. Charles demands that Ben kill her, claiming it to be the will of Jacob. Ben refuses, instead he proposes that if it were indeed the will of the Island, Widmore should be able to do it instead. Scoffing, Charles turns his back and leaves Ben holding the baby.
Nach 1992
Ben is pushing Alex on a swingset when he is approached by Richard. Richard informs Ben that the submarine is about to leave, but that Ben does not need to see its' passengers off if he does not want to. Ben feels he needs to, however, and goes to the dock, where he sees a handcuffed Widmore being led into the submarine. Ben speaks to Widmore, who feels Ben has come to "gloat" about his victory in having Widmore exiled. Widmore has been exiled for "breaking the rules"; namely, for regularly leaving the island, and for having a family off the Island. Widmore scornfully tells Ben that he will have to one day choose between Alex and the Island. He is then put into the submarine and exiled.
2007
After leaving Jack and the others in LA, Ben is walking along a marina and calls Charles Widmore, informing him that he is going to kill Widmore's daughter, Penny, who is also at the marina. As he approaches to do so, he is met by an arriving Desmond, unloading groceries from a car. When he asks Ben what he is doing there, Ben shoots him, though only hitting the grocery bag. Desmond falls to the ground, unconscious. Ben then continues on to the boat, where he holds Penny at gunpoint. Though Penny maintains that she has no relationship with her father, Ben prepares to shoot her until he sees Penny and Desmond's son, Charlie. Ben then lowers his gun, but is tackled and severely beaten by Desmond, who throws him off the dock and into the water.
On the Island
Ben drinks some Ajira water
Ben awakens to find Locke sitting over him. Ben exhibits surprise that Locke is alive, but tells Locke that he expected his resurrection. Ben then travels out to the beach, where several survivors, including Bram and Ilana, are trying to open a crate filled with what they call necessary supplies. Ben speaks to Caesar about Locke, telling him that he doesn't believe that Locke was on the plane. Ben feigns ignorance when Caesar informs him that Locke believes that Ben killed him, saying that Locke is deranged and dangerous. Caesar tells Ben that he "has his back," and shows him the shotgun he had taken from Ben's office earlier. Ben then picks up an Ajira Airways bottle of water and takes a drink.
Ben and Locke prepare travel to the outriggers, intending to take one of them to the main island in order for Ben to be "judged" by the monster. Suddenly, Caesar and three other survivors appear, and confront the two. Caesar asserts his position as the leader, and forbids the two to use the outriggers to go anywhere. Locke refuses to listen, and Caesar attempts to draw his shotgun, but it isn't there. Ben reveals that he has it, and shoots an unarmed Caesar in the chest. He then tells the three remaining survivors to go away. He and Locke then set sail for the main island.
Upon arrival, they rest for a moment at the dock, and Locke tells Ben that he believes Ben is only seeking forgiveness for the death of Alex. Ben does not confirm or deny this. They travel on to the Barracks, where they see a silhouetted shadow pacing in the window of Alex's old room. Upon investigation, Ben finds that it is Sun. Frank is also in the house, and they tell Ben that a man named Christian told them to wait there for John Locke, who they discover is standing just outside. Sun shows Ben the photo of the Dharma class of 77, and expresses surprise that Ben doesn't know that their friends were in the Dharma Initiative.
The four speak for a moment, and then Locke reminds Ben of the reason they are there. Ben then retreats to the secret room hidden in his closet behind the bookcase, where he drains a pool of muddy water in an attempt to summon the monster. He says aloud, almost as an afterthought to the hole "I'll be outside." He then goes outside to wait with Sun, and reveals to her that he had no idea that Locke would be resurrected; he had never seen the Island perform such a miracle. Frank leaves to return to the Hydra island after failing to convince Sun to come with him.
The monster fails to arrive, and Locke tells Ben that they need to go to the monster. Ben claims that he does not know where the monster lives, but Locke tells him that he does. Ben and Sun follow Locke to the Temple walls. Locke then reveals that they are going to be entering through a hole in the earth. They do so, though Sun remains outside.
Locke looks down at Ben
Once underground, Locke and Ben light torches. Ben tells Locke that he believes that Locke's reasoning was right, and that he is seeking penance for Alex's death. Soon afterwards, the ground underneath Ben gives way and he falls into another level of the Temple. Locke tells Ben that he will go get something to help Ben back up, and leaves, ignoring Ben's commands not to.
Ben is surrounded by the monster
Ben then journeys on, looking at columns covered in hieroglyphs. Upon pausing to observe a mural covered in Egyptian drawings, he hears the trademark noises of the monster, and witnesses it rise out of a grate in front of him. The monster surrounds Ben, swirling about him. He is faced with memories of Alex and Widmore, including Alex's death at the hands of Martin Keamy. After showing these images to Ben, the monster abates, reappearing moments later in the form of Alex. Ben attempts to apologize to Alex, but she pins him up against a nearby column. She informs Ben that she is aware of his plan to kill Locke again, and makes him promise to follow Locke's leadership or she will "destroy" him. Ben promises, and Alex disappears. Ben journeys back to the hole, where Locke has managed to procure a rope. He pulls Ben up, and Ben tells Locke that the monster "let him live."
Meanwhile, Frank arrives back at the Hydra Island in the outrigger. He is soon approached by Jed, who warns him that Ilana and a few other survivors have weapons. Frank, cautious, walks into camp, where he is suddenly held at gunpoint by Ilana and Bram. Ilana asks Frank "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" When Frank is unable to answer, she knocks him out with the butt of her gun, and tells Bram to tie him up and take him with them.

Bloopers und Drehbuchfehler
- Danielle has a brief conversation with Ben; in "Solitary" Danielle claimed she had never seen any of the Others, though this could be attributed to the fact that she is insane.
- Also, the pillar of black smoke which Danielle claimed to have preceded Alex's kidnapping was not shown, although it was seen the day she shot the members of her science team.
