In classic Lost style, just when you start loving a character is when they become earmarked for death. Desmond sees a flash that Charlie will have to die to save his friends. Currently the Looking Glass Dharma station is blocking all signals off the island, save for one that the Other's use. Speaking of the Other's, they are on their way to steal all the pregnant woman a day earlier than expected. The plan is two fold - while Charlie swims down to the station to turn off the jamming signal, Jack marches all the Losties to the tower to turn of Rousseau's broadcast and attempt to contact the freighter that Naomi came from that is supposedly there to rescue them. While that is happening, Sayid, Jin, and Bernard stay behind to shoot the dynamite by the tents to blow the Other's coming for the pregnant women.
This episode is a really good Charlie episode since, as an audience member, you begin to like him if you didn't. He remembers the top 5 best moments of his life with meeting Claire as his number one item. And I believe they kiss for the first time in this episode. Thankfully, he's not dead yet, but he certainly runs into a few surprises when he reaches the Looking Glass. This episode is a setup episode for the two part finale but it was written in such a way that it doesn't feel like it.
