This week we get to know everything about Michael , where he has been and what he is meant to do now. Michael is in terrible psychological state and tries to kill himself by car , and by a gun that has been loaded up with 6 rounds , a revolver that he got from a pawn shop , putting it to his head and *click* .. nothing happens , and one time again... The Island wont let Michael to die , he has a upcoming purpose now - given a mission from one of the others that is also on land , to get on a ship where there are a man that has the intention to get Ben Linus off of the Island and kill all the other that is still alive. This makes Michael to think of all his friends over there and takes the job on the ship with another identity and becomes the ships deck-man. All undercover he gets a phone call from Walt he believes but it is Ben that phones this ship and really Need! to speak to Michael about how the plan is going to be.. So now we know the mystery about Michael and his son Walt - they DID get off the island safe , but got into a family disaster when Michael comes forward to tell Walt that he killed 2 women on the island for the sake to get away from it.

This episode is nothing like the other 6 episodes on the fourth season , this one has a plot and a good one , enjoyed the whole 50+ minutes and wanted to see more when it ended as it got the rhythm in it as a Lost episode should have. Several Season 4 episodes has been a total failure in my opinion as they zikk-zakk whissshh woosshh , from time to time and back and forth in time... it is NOT fun to have these flashes of the future, Get back to the writing and give us the Season 1 and 2 atmosphere which was a total Winning and entertaining series.

8/10 (for the Michael story)
