Meanwhile, Jin is taken by Keamy to a restaurant where he ties him up before tending to other business. With Jin not understanding English, Keamy tells Jin he feels bad for having to kill him and that the $25,000 he was supposed to deliver was, in fact, for his own execution.

Episode 6x11 "Happily Ever After" - Desmond-centric

Desmond wakes up groggily and asks Widmore what happened to him; Widmore explains they are back on the island and tells him the Island isn't done with him yet. Widmore tells Zoe to set up "the test" and Desmond is placed between large coils in a building with a generator. Desmond is told he needs to go through this test because he is the only person to survive a massive electromagnetic event. As the generator powers up, there is a flash and Desmond is suddenly in the airport, apparently in the sideways timeline after the landing of 815.

Desmond briefly encounters Claire and Hurley in the airport before being picked up by his driver (Minkowski from the freighter). He is taken to Charles Widmore's office in LA where Widmore welcomes him with a hug. Widmore asks Desmond to help get Charlie Pace to a musical collaboration with his Widmore's son. Widmore and Desmond share a glass of McCutcheon's. Dessmond picks up Charlie at the police station. Charlie walks into a bar and is joined by Desmond. Charlie tells Desmond that he has seen the real truth, seeing a brief glimpse of love with a blonde girl when he almost died on the airplane. In Desmond's car, Charlie steers the vehicle into the harbor. Desmond save's Charlie from drowning, but sees "Not Penny's Boat" written on Charlie's hand for a brief moment.

Desmond is taken to the hospital and is given an MRI. During the MRI, Desmond sees flashes of his future (or main timeline future) including Penny and his young son. He gets out of the machine and looks for Charlie, briefly encountering Jack. Desmond finds Charlie and asks who Penny is and Charlie says he "saw it."

Desmond arrives at the planned concert to tell Mrs. Widmore (Eloise Hawking) that Charlie will not be performing and she is understanding. Desmond overhears the name "Penny" on the guestlist and asks to see it. Eloise stops him and says that something has affected how he sees things and that it is a "violation" and tells him to go on his way. On his way out Daniel Widmore (Faraday) knocks on the car window and asks to speak with him. Daniel shows Desmond a drawing he made that is an advanced physics equation, but he doesn't know how he did it as he is a musician, not a physicist. He tells Desmond that this wasn't supposed to be their lives and thinks that he already "set off a bomb" that changed all of their lives. Desmond asks about Penny and Daniels says that Desmond "felt it" and tells him that Penny is his half-sister and that Desmond can meet her. Desmond goes to a stadium and sees Penny running the stairs and introduces himself. She agrees to go to coffee with him. In his limo, Desmond asks his driver for a manifest from Flight 815.

Back on Hydra Island, Desmond emerges safely from the generator room and says he understands what he's here to do and asks when they start. While the group walks through the woods, Sayid overtakes Widmore's people and Desmond agrees to go with him.
