LOST Rewatch: Homecoming

LOST Rewatch: Homecoming October 24, 2014

Claire returns but doesn’t remember anything after getting on the plane. Ethan finds Charlie and threatens to kill one person every night until he brings Claire to him. And so they set traps and post sentries. But someone named Scott Jackson is killed, even so.

CharlieDilemma1x15In flashbacks, Charlie copes with the apparent death of Driveshaft and the need for drugs by trying to find an opportunity to steal something from a rich family. When talking to the father in that family, he learns that he had been in a band called the Protestant Reformation. Charlie remembers being in withdrawal, trying to do a job presentation and vomiting. It parallels Charlie feeling useless in the present, unable to protect Claire.

Near the end of the episode, we see Charlie remembering the girl from whom he had tried to steal, saying “You’ll never take care of anybody.” And then we understand how his past is shaping him in the present.

And so, although they want to capture Ethan, Charlie shoots him dead.
