The Ocean Six are finally confirmed and are welcomed home in a beautifully scored scene right at the beginning of the episode. Now back home, Jack says goodbye to his father, learns that Claire his is half sister making Aaron his half nephew. Kate and Aaron appear to be spending a lot of time with Jack and this must be all pre trial. Sayid and Nadia are reunited for the first time in years, and they appear to be very happy. Sun uses her settlement money but controlling interest in her father's company and confronts him with this information. Hurley seems to try and adjust, but the numbers appear on his odometer and he freaks. So things start out happy and from what the audience has learned earlier in the season, things take a turn for the worse with the Oceanic 6 and that will lead us brilliantly into Season 5 after two more parts of the finale.
If I remember correctly, this episode aired by itself originally while the the other two parts aired as a two hour season finale the following week. I only mention that as this episode, like others in the past, put the pieces aka the people into place for the events that will unfold all the while the audience knows the outcome of who is saved, but it doesn't appear evident at this moment HOW when everyone is spread out in different areas - Jack and Sawyer are at the chopper heading to the Orchid, at the Orchid are Hurley, Locke, and Ben, Sayid and Kate have been captured by Richard Alpert and a large group of Others, others are at the beach getting ferried to the freighter, Jin, Sun, Michael and Desmond are on the freighter, and the solders from the freighter are at the Orchid.
This was a great episode. The beginning was very moving and the secrets that were revealed made a lot of things make sense. And with the pieces in place, it's shaping up for a very excellent finale.
