-==Synopsis==
-===Flashback===
-[[Image:3x17 BloodyDesmond.jpg‎|thumb|left|Desmond apologizes to Brother Campbell after Derek's violent visit.]]
-[[Desmond]] is in a monastery in Eddington, Scotland in 1995. He is visited by [[Brother Campbell]] in his quarters, who tells him that Desmond's vow of silence, a test to become a monk, has ended successfully despite the Brother's doubts. He tells Desmond he is "[[One of Us|one of us]]" and says, "Welcome, Brother."
-Some time later Desmond and Brother Campbell talk while putting labels on the [[Moriah Vineyard]] wine bottles they make at the monastery, and packing them in crates. Desmond remarks on how Moriah is an odd name for a Monastery wine since it was the location where Abraham was asked to kill Isaac in the [[Bible]]. Campbell reminds him that God ended up sparing [[Isaac]]. Desmond says that God could have not asked for the sacrifice to begin with, but Campbell counters that it was necessary as a test of faith and a lesson in the value of sacrifice. [[Brother Martin]] tells Desmond that someone is looking for him. The [[Derek|man]] enters the room and punches Desmond in the face, bloodying his nose, apologizes to the Brother, and leaves.
-[[Image:3x17 DesmondAndRuth.jpg‎|thumb|right|Desmond tries to explain himself to Ruth.]]
-Desmond visits and knocks on the door of a house and [[Derek]], the man who punched him the other day answers. Desmond asks to see Derek's sister but is told to leave. The sister, [[Ruth]], lets him in. They sit down, drinking tea. Desmond explains that he is still a novice at the monastery but she cuts him off and asks curtly why he is there. Desmond felt he owed her an explanation after his initiation. She wonders how he could explain leaving her one week before their wedding and disappearing. He says that he had a calling but she claims his only religious experience in their six years of dating was "[[Celtic FC|Celtic]] winning the [[wikipedia:Scottish Cup|cup]]". He tells her he was scared and got drunk, and asked God if he was doing the right thing. He then woke up on the street and a man asked him "Can I help you, brother?" Desmond says he realized he had to sacrifice everything precious to him for a greater calling. Ruth snidely remarks that it was a good thing he wasn't found by a [[Shephard|shepherd]] or he'd be "off with the sheep". She tells Desmond that next time he breaks up with someone, he should tell the girl it's because he's scared instead of running off to a monastery.
-[[Image:3x17 DrunkDesmond.jpg‎|thumb|left|A drunk Desmond is caught by Brother Campbell.]]
-At night, [[Desmond]] is found by [[Brother Campbell]] singing "[[The Celtic Song]]" and drinking the monastery wine. Campbell tells him the wine sells for over 100 quid and they've only bottled [[108]] cases that year. Desmond remarks that it's good they've taken a vow of poverty, to which the monk tells him they've also taken a vow of charity. Desmond gives him the bottle, which he pushes gently away on the table, telling Desmond he isn't cut out to be a monk. Desmond apologizes and offers to do penance, but the Brother says that it's too late for that. Desmond asks if he is being fired and the Brother says he is, and that although he "heard the call," the Abbey isn't where Desmond was meant to end up. God has bigger plans for him, and he's spent too much time running away to realize what he is running towards. Desmond asks what he should do now, and the Brother replies, "Whatever comes next."
-[[Image:3x17 MeetPenny.jpg|thumb|right|Penny and Desmond meet each other.]]
-Desmond enters Brother Campbell's office the next day to say goodbye and return his habit. Campbell says Brother Martin can give him a ride into town if Desmond helps load some wine crates into a customer's car. Outside, the Brother talks with a female customer about her father's donation as Desmond wheels the crates out. Desmond and the customer's eyes meet for the first time--she is [[Penny]]. They joke with each other and flirt. He reveals that he is a recently fired ex-monk, and that God allegedly has bigger plans for him. She suspects he doesn't believe that and he agrees. Penny offers to bring him along with her to [[World locations#C|Carlisle]]. He jokes he doesn't get into cars with strangers, so she introduces herself as Penelope, then Penny. He introduces himself, and they smile at each other and laugh.

-===On the Island===
-[[Image:3x17 DeadCharlie.jpg‎|thumb|left|Charlie dies by being hit with an arrow in one of Desmond's flashes]]
-[[Charlie]], [[Hurley]], [[Jin]] and [[Desmond]] trek through the jungle in the [[rain]] while Hurley and Charlie playfully argue over who would win in a footrace: [[Comic book|the Flash]], or Superman. Charlie steps on a [[traps|trigger thread]] and lifts his foot, activating an arrow which impales his neck. They try to help him but Charlie [[death|dies]]. There are [[Desmond's flashes|flashes]] of different images: a reverse version of Hurley pulling the [[cable]], a blinking red light behind dark clouds at night, the [[Desmond's photo|photo]] of Desmond and [[Penny]], next an image of [[Jin]], [[Charlie]] and a set of hands holding a parachute, the feet of a [[Naomi|person]] in gear hanging from a tree, the helmeted head of the same person and a fast image of the face of [[Penny]] with a green backdrop which might suggest the [[Island]].
-Desmond looks up, startled from his [[flashes]] of imminent future events. He drops his fishing pole and runs up to Hurley to ask him about the [[cable]]. Hurley resists, so Desmond, recalling his flash, tells him it's important and that someone is coming.
-[[Image:3x17 AfternoonDelight.jpg‎|thumb|right|Sawyer walks in on Kate as she dressed up.]]
-They go to see [[Jack]], who lends them a medical kit, under the pretense that Desmond has a twisted ankle. Hurley suspects Desmond has had another vision and asks if someone is going to get hurt. He refuses to help him without an explanation. Desmond compares his flashes to puzzle pieces, claiming not to know what picture the pieces form, but that Hurley and the cable is the first piece. He can't tell Hurley the rest without compromising the [[Desmond's flashes|vision]]. Remembering himself [[kissing]] [[Penny]], Desmond admits to Hurley that the end result of this vision is something he wants to ensure and not prevent.
-[[Sawyer]] enters [[Kate]]'s [[tent]], catching her in the middle of getting dressed, and is speechless as he looks her over. He asks if she told [[Jack]] about her and Sawyer. She reveals that she didn't but that Jack saw them on camera at the [[Hydra]]. Sawyer comes on to her but she rejects him; he jokingly asks her if she needs a mix tape.  She leaves the tent and Sawyer behind.
-[[Image:3x17 ConvincingCharlie.jpg‎|thumb|left|Desmond tries to convince Charlie on joining them for camping.]]
-[[Desmond]] brings [[Hurley]] to enlist [[Jin]] for the journey, remembering a flash of Jin helping pull on the cable with Hurley. Desmond isn't sure how to break the communication barrier but Hurley manages to convince Jin, with his limited but improving English, to come along on a "camping" trip. Next, Desmond tries to recruit [[Charlie]] alone. Charlie knows it isn't a camping trip and suspects another vision of his [[life and death|death]]. Desmond reveals someone is coming to the Island but won't give him details. Charlie is worried about the danger of someone dying but Desmond says that won't happen. Charlie asks if he can bring his [[Charlie's guitar|guitar]] and Desmond, seeing Charlie with his guitar in the flash, agrees.
-The foursome walk the beach, all but Desmond whistling the "[[wikipedia:Colonel Bogey March|Colonel Bogey March]]," and Hurley recognizes the spot where the cable should be, and where [[Numbers (episode)|he entered the jungle]] and encountered [[Rousseau]]'s [[traps]]. He and Jin pull the cable from under the sand, and Desmond decides they should set up camp before it gets dark.
-[[Image:3x17 Jin'sGhostStory.jpg‎|thumb|right|Jin tells Hurley and Charlie a Korean ghost story.]]
-At night at the camp, [[Kate]] eats oatmeal and tries to make conversation with [[Jack]], who is merely polite. Kate mentions how strange it is to be back in the camp and she doesn't know what to do with herself now that she no longer has to worry about escaping a cage. Jack asks for a spoon and she licks it clean before giving it to him. Jack says goodnight and meets [[Juliet]]. Kate watches sadly as Jack and [[Juliet]] eat and laugh together. Kate goes to Sawyer's tent. She pushes him to the ground, crying as she kisses him, and tells him to just shut up and give in.
-[[Image:3x17 DesmondRemembersPenny.jpg‎|thumb|left|Desmond tells Charlie about the woman in his picture.]]
-At the cable, Charlie plucks his guitar strings as Jin tells a scary story in Korean with a flashlight shining under his face. Jin gets to a particularly scary part of the story and shouts, causing Hurley to get scared and yelp. The three laugh while Desmond stares at his photo at a distance. Hurley remarks on the part of Jin's story he thinks is about a bird, (indicating his growing understanding of Korean) and then starts his own story about the [[wikipedia:Chupacabra|Chupacabra]]. Charlie offers Desmond some [[food]] and asks about his picture. Charlie asks why he left his girl behind, and Desmond says it's because he was a coward. He had run away, but she had tracked him down--and maybe she is still looking for him. Suddenly, they hear a sound like a [[helicopter]] in the distance and Jin thinks it might be a rescue attempt. They hear screeching noises and a helicopter crashes far out into the water. Hurley says they should swim out, but then they see a red flashing light through the dark clouds.
-[[Image:3x17 PingPong.jpg‎|thumb|right|Jack and Sawyer's Ping-Pong match]]
-They argue over who it might be. Desmond prepares to find the [[Naomi|parachutist]] but Charlie wants to wait until it gets light in two hours to avoid Danielle's traps. Desmond insists but Charlie refuses so Desmond, afraid to lose Charlie's piece of the flash puzzle, agrees to wait until first light.
-The next day at the beach camp, Sawyer interrupts Jack and Juliet building something for her tent. He challenges Jack to a game of [[ping pong]], joking that if they don't play every [[108]] minutes that the Island will explode. Sawyer is happy to be beating Jack the first round and states how strange it is to be back on the Island. Jack mentions a conversation he had with Kate the night before, and that she had said the same thing. Sawyer asks if they ate together, but Jack reveals he ate with Juliet instead.
-[[Image:3x17 Ardil-22.jpg‎|thumb|left|Desmond finds a copy of [[Catch-22 (book)|Catch-22]] in a foreign language]]
-In the jungle Charlie complains about not getting enough information from Desmond, who retorts that saving his life three times should buy him some trust. Hurley stops to rest and Charlie finds a hula doll. Desmond looks up and sees a backpack in the tree. He climbs up by stepping on Hurley's shoulder to retrieve it and spills out the contents, which include a Portuguese version of the book ''[[Catch-22 (book)|Catch-22]]'' and a [[satellite phone]]. Hurley turns on the phone, but it quickly dies out. In the book, Desmond finds a printout of the photo of him and Penny.
-At the beach camp, [[Sawyer]] hands [[Kate]] his "mix tape", a cassette of "The Best of Phil Collins" he stole from [[Bernard]]. He asks her why she "[[sex|jumped him]]" the night before, if it had anything to do with her seeing Jack and Juliet together. She denies it, but he says sadly that she doesn't have to use him, she only has to ask.
-[[Image:3x17 CharlieSurvives.jpg‎|thumb|right|Charlie realizes Desmond saw his upcoming death.]]
-In the jungle, Charlie asks if Desmond thinks the parachutist is [[Penny]], and Desmond says he is certain now. He says he didn't want to tell Charlie so that nothing would change. Charlie says if they knew Desmond would be reunited with Penny, they would have helped him willingly. Desmond sees the [[flashes]] of Charlie's death again and it starts to [[rain]]. Hurley makes a comment about Desmond not warning them to bring an umbrella.
-Jin asks who Penny is, and Hurley explains that she's Desmond's girl. Jin doesn't understand but Hurley says it wouldn't make sense in Korean either. Hurley and Charlie start arguing about the Flash and Superman and Desmond remembers this from his flash, realizing Charlie's death is imminent. Desmond spots the arrow and the trigger line. Charlie steps on it, lifts his foot, and Desmond, after a moment of deliberation, yells for Charlie to duck, pushing him out of the way of the arrow. Desmond looks up, afraid that he has destroyed his chance to see Penny.
-[[Image:3x17 MeetNaomi.jpg‎|thumb|left|Naomi wakes up, calling out Desmond's name]]
-Later, [[Jin]] and [[Desmond]] argue about which way the beacon is. They decide to split up, and [[Charlie]] insists on going with Desmond. Charlie confronts Desmond about knowing Charlie would be in danger and not telling him, as well as accusing Desmond of planning to sacrifice him to find Penny. Desmond explains that if he doesn't follow the flashes, the overall picture changes. Desmond wonders out loud if saving Charlie does any good since he keeps getting into danger again; maybe he is being tested by God like Abraham, but so far has failed the test. They hear Jin shout and follow his voice to a parachutist hanging from a tree, not moving. Desmond, believing the parachutist to be dead, says, "Sorry, Penny".
-Desmond climbs up the tree and cuts the parachutist loose, who falls into the [[parachute]] the others are holding to catch her safely. [[Hurley]] hears the parachutist moan and announces that she is alive. Desmond runs up to her and removes her mask but it isn't Penny, it's an unknown [[Naomi|woman]] who says only "Desmond" before she passes out again.

-==Trivia==
-===General===
-[[Image:camhawk.jpg|thumb|right|[[Brother Campbell]] with [[Ms. Hawking]] in a picture on his desk.]]
-* A "Catch-22" refers to a no-win situation or a double bind. In [[wikipedia:Joseph Heller|Joseph Heller's]] novel, the only way to get out of a dangerous mission is to plead insanity, but pleading insanity in order to be exempt from a dangerous mission is proof of sanity. Sane or insane, you have to go on the mission. In ''Lost''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''Catch-22'', Desmond's vision suggests he cannot find the parachutist without Charlie; but if Charlie comes along he will be killed by one of Rousseau's traps and they won't find the parachutist.
-* The hula doll found in the jungle looks like Hurley's doll in his [[Automobiles|Hummer]].
-* The satellite phone's menu icons in order from top left to bottom right are: GPS, "Home" symbol, Files, Clock, Phone, Settings, Mail, and Uplink. Below that is a hazard sign that says: "INTERNAL ERROR". (More details on the [[satellite phone]] article).
-* [[Naomi|The parachutist]] was wearing a pressure-demand oxygen mask, as opposed to a continuous-flow mask. Continuous-flow masks (such as of the kind released in airliners during emergencies) are typically used in unpressurized aircraft that fly between 12000 and 25000 feet, and do not make an airtight seal around the mouth. Pressure-demand oxygen masks like the one worn by the parachutist make an airtight seal and allow for flight at altitudes up to 50000 feet (if the aircraft is pressurized and the composition and pressure of the oxygen can be controlled). Flight above 50000 feet typically requires an astronaut-like pressurized suit. While some helicopters have flown to 40000 feet for the sake of claiming records, few helicopters can fly higher than 20000 feet, and most operate at 10000 feet or below (and thus are not pressurized).
-* Desmond and Penny speak of Carlisle, a city in the northwest of England near the Scottish border. The homophone ''Carlyle'' was [[Boone]]'s surname.
-* Charlie has a [[Pearl]] station notebook.
-* According to the label, the wine is a 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon, limited production of 500 bottles, grown and bottled by Moriah Vineyards, Eddington, Scotland, UK, 75cle.
-* Desmond's flashback shows Charlie getting shot with the arrow but later shows Charlie holding the parachute in the flashback.
-* The arrow pierces Charlie's neck in the flashback, while the actual arrow pierces the neck of [[Charlie's guitar]].
-* In Desmond's flash just after they've seen the crash and the parachute, a voice shouting "Hey, can you hear me?" can be heard in reverse.  This is most likely Hurley's voice as he says this later when they cut the parachutist down.
-* In "real-time" Charlie says "Kryptonite BALLET SLIPPERS" before setting off the trap, while in the flash he stops at "Kryptonite".
-* Jin's Korean language ghost story translates as: "And the girl turned to the man who saved her and said, 'Thank God. I was afraid you were the Hook Man.' And the man looked at the girl with a smile and said, 'Don't worry, little girl. My hook is....STILL IN YOUR FATHER'S HEAD!" [http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/2007/04/jins-ghost-story.html Dark UFO's blog]
-* Sawyer mentions he took the tape he gave to Kate from Bernard. This is the first mention of Bernard this season, ruling out the theory that Rose and Bernard had been replaced by Nikki and Paulo. Rose and Bernard would finally return in {{ep|3x21}}.
-*[[Hurley]] says that Flash would beat Superman in a race. The [[Green Lantern and Flash: Faster Friends No. 1|comic]] which features the Flash was brought onto the plane by Hurley. Furthermore Superman and the Flash have raced each other a number of times before as detailed on this [http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/races.html website].
-*During Desmond's flash back when Charlie is just about to step on the wire, you can hear someone mention Superman. Superman flew around the world to go '''back in time''' to save Lois Lane. Also during another mini flashback of the previous premonition you can only hear the word SUPERMAN prominently.
-* The Flash could be a reference to Desmond's flash, thus turning the race between the Flash and Superman (who went back in time to save Lois Lane) into a metaphor for fate versus free will.

-===Production notes===
-[[Image:3.17-TheFlash.png|right|thumb|150px|The Flash]]
-*[[Ben]], [[Claire]], [[Locke]], [[Sayid]], and [[Sun]] do not appear in this episode.
-*A podcast rehash for the episode was released on April 20th, 2007. {{crossref|Official Lost Podcast/April 20, 2007}}
-*When Hurley tells Desmond he can't move much faster because he's "not exactly [[wikipedia:The Flash|the Flash]]", a [[wikipedia:lens flare|lens flare]] briefly appears on screen at exactly the same time the word "flash" is said. {{crossref|Official Lost Podcast/April 30, 2007}}
-* This was the first episode available for download on iTunes in a widescreen format.
-===Bloopers and continuity errors===
-* The vintage of the wine bottles and Ruth's mention of Celtic winning the Cup date this flashback to 1995 or later, where he first meets Penny. Desmond's later flashback where he breaks up with Penny takes place in 1996. Normally wine is dated based on the date of the grape harvest, and Cabernet Sauvignon is usually aged in barrels for years before being released, so the date on the bottle is likely a production error meant to show the date of the flashback and not a realistic vintage date.
-*Also note that the year stamped on the box the bottle comes from is 1989.  This may be an intentional reference to the time "shifts" that Desmond has experienced throughout the series.
-*Although Desmond tackles Charlie onto his back (while trying to save him from the arrow in the jungle), Charlie's guitar is totally unharmed.
-*The flashback should have taken place in 1994, because in {{ep|3x08}} Desmond says to Mr. [[Widmore]] that he and [[Penelope]] have been together for 2 years, yet that conversation occurred in 1996 which is only one year later.
-=== Recurring themes ===
-{{NavMinor-RecurringThemes}}
-* Sawyer calls the Others "perverts" and Kate "Freckles", claiming she is exempt from his agreement not to use nicknames, and Ben "Bug-eyed Freak". {{crossref|Nicknames}}
-* It starts raining both in Desmond's premonition and when the search for Penny is coming to a climax. {{crossref|Rain}}
-* [[Brother Campbell]] tells Desmond that they have only made [[108]] cases of wine. {{crossref|The Numbers}}
-* The whole story of Desmond's "call" and his final dialogue with Campbell brings up the question of Desmond's "fate" being imposed over his "free will". {{crossref|Fate versus free will}}
-* Desmond goes to talk to Ruth in search of redemption for his mistake (leaving her before the wedding). He doesn't get it from her. {{crossref|Redemption}}

-* '''''[[Catch-22 (book)|Catch-22]]''''': The title of the episode is the name of a book by [[wikipedia:Joseph Heller|Joseph Heller]]. In the novel, Heller initially uses "Catch-22" to describe a [[wikipedia:no-win situation|no-win situation]]. (A bombardier is told he can only avoid flying more missions by pleading insanity, but attempting to preserve his own life by pleading insanity is proof of sanity, meaning he must continue to fly missions.

-** Charlie mentions [[wikipedia:Kryptonite|Kryptonite]]. The material has detrimental effects on Superman. The word kryptonite is used in speech to describe someone's or something's weakness.
-* '''[[wikipedia:Scottish Cup|Scottish Cup]]''': According to Ruth, the closest Desmond had come to religion until he disappeared was "[[wikipedia:Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] winning the cup".  The cup win Ruth refers to occurred on May 27, 1995. Celtic hadn't won the cup since 1989.  Significantly, Celtic is supported by the Catholic community of Glasgow (the Protestant team is Glasgow Rangers). {{crossref|Games|Religion}}
-** '''''[[wikipedia:The Celtic Song|The Celtic Song]]''''': Desmond sings this theme song for the Celtic football team, which is sung to the tune of [[wikipedia:Pirates of Penzance|Pirates of Penzance's]] "With cat-like tread, upon our prey we steal". {{crossref|Music}}

-** '''[[wikipedia:Moriah|Moriah]]''': (Hebrew: מוריה, Moriya = "ordained/considered by YHWH") The [[Moriah Vineyard]] shares the name given to a mountain range by the book of Genesis.

-* '''[[wikipedia:Arrow of time|Arrow of time]]'''. [[The Arrow]] that was first seen in Desmond's glimpse of the future killing Charlie, and later missed killing Charlie through Desmond's intervention, might be representative of the ''Time's Arrow''. This is an idea which was first brought up by British astronomer [[wikipedia:Arthur Eddington|Arthur Eddington]], and made popular by [[wikipedia:Stephen Hawking|Stephen Hawking]]'s [[wikipedia:A Briefer History of Time (Hawking and Mlodinow book)|A Briefer History of Time]]". There has been a [[wikipedia:Time's Arrow (novel)|novel]] of the same name written by [[wikipedia:Martin Amis|Martin Amis]], as well as an episode of the Sci Fi shows "[[wikipedia:Sliders|Sliders]]" and [[wikipedia:Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek:TNG]]. The idea behind "Time's Arrow" revolves around the movement of time in one direction, but allowing it as well to move in the completely other direction. Originally when Desmond saw the arrow kill Charlie, he saw that he would be reunited with his love Penny. That was Desmond's driving force behind looking for the parachutist. When Desmond stops Charlie from getting impaled by the arrow, he changed time, or changed the direction of "Time's Arrow". Considering Desmond may have affected time before, this representation may be accurate.
-* '''[[wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]]'''. Printed on Charlie's [[T-shirt]] is what appears to be [[wikipedia:J. R. R. Tolkien|J. R. R. Tolkien's]] [[wikipedia:White Tree of Gondor|white tree of Gondor]].

-* [[wikipedia:Predestination paradox|Predestination paradox]] — Desmond instigates the mission after seeing flashes of it; without those flashes of the future, the future wouldn't have happened. This is different to Desmond's previous flashes: Charlie struck by lightning, drowned, or smashed against the rocks would all have happened without Desmond's flashes; but the trek to find the parachutist would not have happened without Desmond's flashes of it.
-* In a flashback, Desmond meets Penny for the first time.  In the next scene, he yells her name, thinking she is the parachutist.  {{crossref|Juxtaposition}}
-* For the entire episode, Desmond prepares to meet the woman he loves, Penny.  When he finally finds "her", he pulls off her mask, and is desperately disappointed to find a [[Naomi|different woman]].  This sudden reversal of Desmond's fortune is called [[wikipedia:peripeteia|peripeteia]]. {{crossref|Plot twist}}
-* When the parachutist wakes up, she looks at Desmond and speaks his name.  No information is provided to the viewer to ascertain how or why she knows Desmond's name.  This plot twist can also be categorized as a [[wikipedia:cliffhanger|cliffhanger]]. {{crossref|Cliffhanger|Plot twist}}
