I mean, you never say never, but it's surprising. Locke's slight shaking is a little odd, too. Though seizures can occur after a traumatic brain injury, this doesn't have any of the characteristics of seizures. And usually a true seizure is not seconds after injury, it is usually a little later.
Though I guess you can get some non-specific shakiness after a while after any injury. Getting hit by a car, and knocking your head hard enough to crack a windshield, could cause any number of injuries. Sattin says neurologists would have to look for brain herniation, or swelling of the brain, as well as bleeding in different parts of the brain.
To help Locke see the light. His intent was to lead Locke to have the same realization he had. My theory is this. Phase 2 of "Mission: Realization Initiative" Trademarked accomplished! Hurley was Phase 1 Hurley, check. Locke, check. Jack and Kate, check love again, bleh. Sun and Jin, check probably something to do with Sun's pregnancy.
Sawyer, check, as Desmond will somehow arrange for or get lucky enough to get Juliet in the same place at the same time as Sawyer so they can meet, rekindle, etc. Desmond watching the Swan Orientation film, after moving to The Swan. The half-conscious Desmond was dragged from the beach into the Swan , by a man in a biohazard suit who later identified himself as Kelvin Inman.
Inside the Swan, Kelvin tells Desmond that the outside environment is contaminated by a mysterious sickness , to which Desmond may have been exposed. Kelvin forcibly inoculated Desmond with a vaccine labeled with the Numbers. Kelvin instructed Desmond to inject himself with it every 9 days.
Desmond learned the "push the button" routine, and watched the Swan Orientation film repeatedly, which raised many questions in his head, most of which remained unanswered by Kelvin. After two years, Kelvin showed Desmond how to initiate the lockdown sequence, which Kelvin used to complete the invisible blast door map started by his previous Swan partner, Radzinsky.
One night later, while drunk underneath the Swan's computer room, Kelvin revealed to Desmond the nature of the Incident , and the function of the fail-safe key, which he carried at all times but was never able to find the courage to use. Desmond had lived in the station for three years, while Kelvin continually left the Hatch in his suit, under the pretense of analyzing the outside environment.
A hostile Desmond confronts Daniel Faraday on the Island. At an unclear point in the timeline, a group of survivors congregated at the rear door of the Swan. After the group received no response and left for the beach Daniel remained and continued to knock on the Swan 's rear door until Desmond, dressed in a biohazard suit and wielding a rifle, angrily burst out.
Desmond appeared not to recognise Daniel , and asked whether Daniel was his "replacement", much like Kelvin thought when he found Desmond. Daniel told a confused Desmond that he was "uniquely, and miraculously special", and that he was the only one who could save them. Daniel instructed Desmond to seek out his mother at Oxford in the event that the helicopter made it safely off the island. After this, Daniel disappeared in front of him.
However, it is yet not clear why Desmond remembered this years later, around , but this may be linked to the fact that, in linear "real time" this event happened after Desmond left the Island. Desmond, moments after stopping the electromagnetic anomaly from exploding. Kelvin never allowed Desmond to take a turn analyzing the environment.
However, on the day of Flight 's crash , Desmond noticed that Kelvin's suit was ripped, yet he continued his trips, leading Desmond to wonder if the sickness was a lie Kelvin made up to keep him in the hatch entering the numbers. Desmond had his first adventure in the jungle when he subsequently followed Kelvin. Desmond saw Kelvin taking off the biohazard suit before marching toward the cove.
At the cove, Desmond found his sailboat , apparently repaired by Kelvin, with which Kelvin seemed to be plotting his escape from the Island. Desmond confronted Kelvin, after realizing the charade to which he was subjected, and in the struggle that followed, he accidentally slammed Kelvin's head against a rock, resulting in Kelvin's immediate death.
After grabbing Kelvin's fail-safe key , Desmond ran back to the Swan , where he found the countdown timer had reached zero, and system failure messages were flowing across the computer screen. Desmond eventually managed to stop the system failure, although, unbeknown to him, his actions inadvertently released the electromagnetic charge that had built up during his absence from the Swan, which caused Oceanic Flight to break up in mid-air and crash on the Island. Desmond learns that he isn't alone on the Island.
With Kelvin dead, Desmond was now on his own, and he spent the next 40 days in the Swan in complete solitude, carrying on the duty of pushing the button all by himself. In a moment of despair, Desmond contemplated ending his life. Sitting down with a gun in his hand, Desmond questioned whether anything in his world is real. He moved to open his Dickens' novel, when a letter fell out of it: a hidden letter from Penelope, in which she encouraged Desmond to never give up, emphasizing her love and her decision to always wait for him.
In a fit of rage, Desmond started to sabotage the Swan 's contents, when he suddenly heard pounding on the Hatch above. Turning on the bright light, Desmond looked up as the traumatized Locke peered down in return, causing both men to regain their hope. Desmond recognizes Jack as the man he met in Los Angeles. After blowing open the Hatch and entering the Swan , Locke and Kate confronted the suspicious Desmond, who held them both at gunpoint. After Locke led Desmond into believing that Kate was more dangerous of the two, Desmond locked Kate in the pantry.
However, this gave Kate a chance to escape through the ventilation system, to later intervene with Desmond's holding of Locke, and Jack who joined them, consequently resulting in Desmond's accidental shooting of the Swan's computer.
After failing to fix it, Desmond decided to flee the station, claiming that everyone will die soon, but was followed by Jack. Upon their confrontation, Desmond recalled his off-Island encounter of Jack, and asked him about Sarah, before repeating the Numbers to Jack in case the computer was ever fixed.
Desmond apparently set off on the sailboat in an attempt to escape the Island. His attempt, however, was unsuccessful, and after two weeks the boat sailed back toward the Island.
When the boat emerged to the survivors , Jack, Sayid and Sawyer swam to it, only to find Desmond inside, who by then believed the Island to be the last thing left from a long-lost world. Desmond turns the fail safe key, triggering the discharge. Desmond was then approached by Sayid, who asked for his help in his plan of sailing to the Others ' camp , but he refused.
Desmond was sought out later by Locke, who brought him the Orientation video from the Pearl , debunking his whole conception of the Swan's function. Desmond then agreed to join Locke on his mission, to let the Swan's countdown end once and for all, without interference, and see what would happen. In their attempt, they locked Eko out of the computer room, using Desmond's experience in triggering the lockdown.
After reading the log, Desmond then connected the date of the plane crash to the earlier system failure he witnessed, leading him to conclude that he may have unintentionally caused the crash. Desmond then decided that the button must be pushed, but Locke , however, intervened and destroyed the computer.
With no other resolution, Desmond felt compelled to use the fail-safe key, and thus descended to the Swan's passageways to turn on the switch. With the words "I love you Penny," Desmond turned the key after making the sign of the cross , causing the discharge , and the unavoidable implosion of the Swan. Desmond after waking up when his mind traveled back to After turning the fail-safe key in present Island time, Desmond's consciousness re-entered his 's self.
He arrived at the time after falling off the ladder, while painting his flat. When Penelope tried to heal him, he thought that everything about the future had been a dream. Later that day, while preparing to go to the Widmore's Industries, he noticed his clock marked "", and these numbers were familiar to him. Penelope said that if he didn't get the job, that wouldn't be the end of the world. That phrase disturbed Desmond, and when hearing a beep that was like the one in the Swan, he was even more disturbed.
However, it turned out to be the microwave, and Penelope asked what happened to him. Before the meeting with Charles Widmore , he heard that a delivery man had a package for eight - fifteen. He noticed the numbers, and a flash of future events came momentarly to his mind.
Desmond recognizes Charlie from the Island. After talking with Widmore, he offered him a job in the administrative department, but Desmond revealed that the real reason he came was to ask not for a job , but for Widmore's permission to marry his daughter, Penelope. Widmore expressed his unfavorable opinion of Desmond, impressing upon him his valuation of Desmond as worth less than his MacCutcheon whisky.
Desmond left, crestfallen and angered, but when he saw a singing Charlie Pace performing on a London street corner just outside, he recognized him, and he said that all those events had happened before. Charlie didn't believe him, and when it started to rain, everybody on the street left, thinking he was crazy. Desmond went to see Donovan.
He was skeptical of Desmond's theory that he could be time-traveling, and asked him to predict what would happen next. Desmond foretold the outcome of a televised soccer game, only to be proven wrong. Later that night, he arrived in his flat and Penelope said she loved him.
She said that they would celebrate their love the next day. Hawking reveals to Desmond she knows about his fate. The next day, he went to the jewelry shop to buy a ring. This time, however, he wanted to buy it, but Ms. Hawking , the jewelry store clerk, revealed that Desmond was not supposed to buy the ring, that he was supposed to have second thoughts and abandon Penny. She further claimed to know that Desmond's future would involve going to the Island and pushing the button in the Swan.
She imparted some of her understanding about how the universe "course-corrects" to prevent people from straying too far from their fate. Desmond stayed in shock, and she asked him to go with her. During her discussion with Desmond, she predicted the imminent death of a nearby man.
Hawking claimed to be unable to ultimately prevent the death of the man, explaining that "the universe has a way of course correcting," meaning that if she saved him from that death, he would simply die another way soon after. Desmond kept the ring anyway, determined not to succumb to fate. He later met Penelope near the River Thames and they had their picture taken in front of a marina backdrop.
He told Penelope this, and she stormed off with mixed emotions of anger and sadness. In the end, Desmond made the decision predicted by Mrs. Hawking , and threw the ring into the Thames. Drowning his sorrows at a pub that night, Desmond realized that he was a day off in his prediction of the outcome of the soccer match.
He heard the song, " Make Your Own Kind Of Music ", and then he watched the same goal in the television, as in the original events. Knowing that he could change his fate, he prepared to leave the bar. However, Jimmy Lennon stormed into the bar, carrying a cricket bat and looking for the bartender. Desmond, knowing that the bartender would be hit, tried to prevent the altercation from happening the way he remembered it, but was hit with the cricket bat, sending his consciousness back into the future.
Desmond, returning to the present, comes across the imploded hatch. Desmond woke up, lying completely naked in the middle of the jungle with blood stains on his chest and body. As his memory returned, he realized that the Island and the events that had happened there were indeed real, and he began to cry and beg for another chance to change events in the past , to no avail.
He recollected himself and began to run around looking for help, and, unbeknown to him, ran past Locke, who was also waking up after the Swan implosion. He eventually found Hurley , who was on his way back to the beach after his encounter with the Others at the Pala Ferry.
On their way back, Desmond revealed his first premonition , while attempting to comfort Hurley over his worries about his captured group. To calm him, Desmond commented on Locke's intentions to go after them, and referred to Locke's yet-to-happen "speech. Desmond looks on as a lightning storm begins. Later, Desmond approached Claire , in an attempt to persuade her to move down the beach, to allow him to fix her roof, but Charlie intervened.
At his failure to convince them, Desmond borrowed a golf club from Paulo , which he used in constructing a lightning rod that he placed very close to the tent. Shortly after, the camp was caught up in a sudden storm , when a bolt of lightning struck the recently built lightning rod , on its way to the tent, leaving Charlie in shock, similar to that previously experienced by Hurley.
Desmond and Locke were later joined by Sayid , in a meeting to discuss a rescue plan for Jack and his group. Desmond explained to Sayid that the stations equipment could be used as well in communication, and thus they required Sayid's technological skills in helping them search for a station where Jack could be possibly be held captive. The three head to the Pearl , joined by Paulo and Nikki , where Desmond helped Sayid in patching the monitors with available feeds from other stations, leading to the temporal appearance of the mysterious one-eyed man on one of the screens.
Moments after, Desmond heard the Monster 's familiar sound, and hurried above with the rest, to witness the last moments of the dying Eko , where he was then left with Paulo and Nikki while Sayid accompanied Locke back to camp to get shovels for the burial. Desmond performs CPR on an unconscious Claire. When Charlie and Hurley met up with them, Desmond suddenly rushed to the beach and dragged a drowning Claire ashore and resuscitated her.
Charlie became suspicious and Hurley aided him in getting Desmond drunk on MacCutcheon whisky, so that he would divulge his secret. Charlie and Desmond got into a fight after Desmond was called a coward by Charlie. He jumped and strangled Charlie, claiming that Charlie would not want to know what happened to him when he turned the fail-safe key. After the fight was stopped by Hurley, Desmond apologized, and was carried by Charlie back to his tent. Then, Desmond revealed that when he turned the fail-safe key, his life flashed before his eyes, but after, the flashes didn't stop.
He has been getting precognitive visions , but they were to save Charlie, not Claire, and he is afraid that there are only so many times he can cheat fate before it catches up with Charlie, and causes his death. Later, he prevented Charlie and Claire from catching migrating seagulls , foreseeing that Charlie would die attempting to do so. He then caught one himself before being confronted by Claire and eventually telling her his secret.
Desmond later witnessed Nikki and Sawyer arguing, and told Hurley about it later while he was investigating Nikki and Paulo's apparent deaths. He appeared at Nikki and Paulo's funeral. Around Day 86, Desmond had another series of flashes which showed another instance of Charlie's death and something coming to the Island. Believing that Penny had found the Island and was on her way, Desmond gathered up all the people he would need for his mission that were present in his vision: Charlie, Hurley and Jin.
Desmond explained to Hurley that he saw what he referred to as "puzzle pieces" to a puzzle that had no picture on the front of the box.
Upon Hurley's further inquisition, he said that he couldn't divulge many details about what he saw, for fear of "changing the picture on the puzzle box. In his vision , Desmond once again foresees Charlie 's death.
With the assistance of Hurley's memory of the location of the cable and Jin's chance discovery of it in the sand as per the puzzle piece , the crew followed into the jungle for a "camping trip. Following his instinct and his half-assembled puzzle, Desmond led the group onward in the direction of the parachutist. On the way they found pieces of debris from the helicopter including a Portuguese language copy of Catch with a picture of him and Penny in it.
Despite his conviction that everything had to happen exactly as in his vision he nonetheless saved Charlie once again. When they find the pilot of the helicopter it turns out not to be Penny but Naomi. Naomi was injured in the crash, and Charlie , Hurley, and Desmond argued a bit on how to treat her. A call was answered after Hurley accidentally fires a flare gun, which ended up summoning Mikhail.
Desmond agreed to let him go if he helped save her life. With treatment, they removed a stick from her lung, and Mikhail said it would heal in a day, or a day and a half. Desmond allowed him to leave, despite Charlie's protests, but not until after they recovered the satellite phone Mikhail attempted to steal.
Believing that Jack was working with the Others , Desmond persuaded Jin, Hurley and Charlie to keep Naomi's presence in the camp a secret but it soon came out, first to Kate , then finally to Jack. Desmond's flash leads him and Charlie on a mission to the Looking Glass.
While Jack was revealing his plan to blow up the Others' raiding party, Desmond has yet another 'flash. This action, according to the flash, resulted in Claire and Aaron boarding a rescue helicopter. At first, Desmond hesitated to tell Charlie this, but later laid it out for him, explaining that Charlie must die if the group hopes to be rescued.
After it became clear that the switch from Desmond's premonition was inside the Looking Glass station , Charlie volunteered to swim to the station by following the underwater cable, and Desmond volunteered to accompany him. Once he and Charlie had gone out onto the water in the outrigger to the point directly above the Looking Glass, Desmond volunteered to take Charlie's place. Charlie at first seemed to assent, but then knocked Desmond unconscious with an oar and tucked his final message to Claire inside Desmond's shirt before diving into the water.
Desmond receives Charlie 's final messages regarding Penny 's boat. When Desmond woke up, he was immediately met with gunfire from Mikhail , who had arrived to stop Charlie. Desmond was forced to dive down, and arrived at the underwater station to help Charlie. As he and Charlie prepared to leave, Charlie communicated with Penny via a video feed.
As Charlie shouted for Penny's missing love, Desmond saw that Mikhail has vanished. Desmond ran to the communication room, noticing Penny on the monitor.
Charlie, acting selflessly, had no choice but to lock him out, after seeing Mikhail through the underwater window about to blow it open with a grenade. Desmond stared through the window on the locked door, trying his best to open the door, as the grenade exploded and the room filled with water. Charlie, in his dying moments, wrote a message on his hand in permanent marker for Desmond.
He continued to watch helplessly as Charlie drowned.
