Things actually move pretty fast in this episode. Turns out Widmore isn't mad at the Losties; he's trying to protect them. He puts them in the cages and has the electric pylons surrounding them. Moments later, Sayid takes out the power, and the Smoke Monster goes on a rampage. Jack shows up and frees his friends and they head towards the plane. Locke/MIB gets there first, finds a bomb and uses this as an opportunity to convince everyone to take the sub. At the sub, Locke/MIB pulls the old switcheroo and gives Jack his bag with the bomb in it as everyone save for Locke/MIB and Claire end up in the sub. Sayid surprisingly sacrifices himself allowing everyone to escape except for Sun and Jin. We don't see Lapidus escape, but we'll find out what happens to him later. On the beach the survivors weep for their friends, and Locke/MIB declares that he has unfinished business. I think he's talking about Desmond.
Off island, Jack is primarily featured as he wants to fix Locke so he can walk again. He interacts with Claire, Bernard, and Helen. He learns that Claire and Bernard were also on the same flight, but he doesn't dwell or see the significance at the time. He's pretty blinded on wanting to fix Locke who refuses Jack twice in this episode.
It's pretty clear that Jack was Locke/MIB's last recruit in the previous episode and he's also the most likely candidate in this episode as he is the only one who does NOT want to leave. He makes a lot of assumptions on the sub that he appears to pull out of his ass, but he just so happens to be right so we'll see how this all pans out very shortly. With the sub officially sunk, the only way off the island for everyone is the plane.
