[S5E8] Lost Found

A woman is killed with a silencer outside a nightclub. First suspect is the husband who checked into a hotel, but he is found dead. A young witness to the suspected contract killing of the woman must be found and protected.

Having lost Charlotte Lewis in the time flashes, James "Sawyer" Ford, Juliet Burke, Miles Straume, Jin-Soo Kwon and Daniel Faraday realize the time flashes have stopped, and they find themselves in 1974. Sawyer then perpetuates a lie to the DHARMA Initiative to protect themselves from mistakes of the past.

Three years later, the survivors have joined Dharma and are living in the barracks. Sawyer is the well respected head of security, while Jin (who is now fluent in English) continues to search for those who left the island. Amy is pregnant with Horace's baby and due to give birth in two weeks. Following an argument between them, Horace gets drunk and hurls sticks of dynamite at trees and Amy goes into early labor; Juliet successfully delivers the baby, the first that survived in all her time on the island. Horace believes that Amy is not yet over her deceased husband, however Sawyer reassures him by stating that three years is enough time to get over someone, referring to his relationship with Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly). Sawyer returns to his home, where he lives with Juliet, with whom he is now in a relationship. The next morning, he receives a call from Jin, who has found Kate, Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox), and Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia) in the jungle.[N 4] Sawyer secretly meets them far from the barracks, where they are reunited.

Suddenly, the alarm sounds and everybody takes cover in their houses. The group is brought inside one of the houses where an armed woman is to look after them. As Sawyer and Juliet start to look out of a window, a man with a burning torch, revealed to be Richard Alpert, strolls into the middle of the compound. Horace goes to speak to him, then returns and anxiously asks Sawyer and crew how well they buried the bodies. Sawyer says the bodies may be found if searched for thoroughly enough, then goes outside, ignoring Horace's objections, and tells Richard that he is responsible for killing the two men, then asks him if they buried the bomb. He mentions Richard's meeting with Locke twenty years earlier and tells him that he and his people aren't with the Initiative, meaning that DHARMA's truce with the Others hasn't been violated. After getting the story of what happened to his people, Richard tells Sawyer that they still require justice.

Horace wakes to find a bespectacled Sawyer watching over him. In a reversal of roles, Sawyer asks Horace how his head feels leaving Horace to respond "It hurts." Sawyer informs him that he missed the birth of his son and inquires about the fight between Horace and Amy that led Horace to pass out in a drunken stupor. Horace had found the ankh necklace which had belonged to Paul among Amy's things, leading Horace to question Amy's love for him. Horace is unsure whether three years is enough time for Amy to get over Paul.

A pile of ashes and a human foot are found on a bed at a house that has been put up for sale. The team talks with Katie, a real estate agent who discovered the ashes, and Howard, the owner of the house. There is a birthday cake on one of the tables in the house. Brennan uses hairspray to keep the victim's hand from crumbling completely into ash. Booth wonders if the victim died from spontaneous human combustion, but Brennan is skeptical.

The mattress is taken to the lab, and Hodgins also believes that the victim was taken by spontaneous combustion. But Brennan and Clark think that the victim was set on fire post mortem because there is no evidence of thrashing and flailing. Cam mentions that the body did not contain alcohol or drugs. Clark believes the victim to be female because of the foot showing signs of deformity due to badly fitting shoes. There is too much ash to come from an average person's body, so the team suspects that the victim was obese. Meanwhile, some type of orange sticky substance is found on the mattress by Hodgins.

Booth finds out that Hank was found in the park by a police officer who claims that he was disoriented. Booth is going to pick his grandfather up from the park, but then the real estate agent arrives and gives Booth a list of the individuals who would have access to the house. Booth picks up Hank, and then he realises he has to stop by somewhere else to follow up on those names. Hank suggests that if Booth wants to bring Brennan over some night, he could leave and go somewhere else. Booth insists that he and Brennan are not in a relationship. While Angela makes a 3-D computer generated recreation of the victim's hand, Hodgins suggests that the orange substance he found earlier was polyester, and probably from a wig. Angela figures out that it was actually a vest used by workers from a store named PriceCo.

Booth goes to PriceCo with Hank. Someone thinks Hank is a greeter for the store and asks about where to get electrical tape. He manages to get her to the right section. One of the employees, Meg, hasn't come into work, and when Booth tries to find Hank again, he finds his grandfather wearing an orange employee vest. Apparently, he was so good at greeting people that he was actually given the job. Considering the amount of ash found at the scene, Brennan suggests that there were two victims.

Brennan, Booth, and Hank discuss the case. Hank suspects PriceCo's store manager, who hasn't been treating him well. He also complains about having to take so much medicine, that it was simpler fifty years ago. Brennan points out that drugs have improved a lot over the past fifty years, which heartens Hank. He tells her that he likes her. Booth answers a call and finds out that Stephanie (Meg's roommate) has been brought in for questioning. He goes to talk to her. Meanwhile, Hank tells Brennan about Booth's past, and about how he kicked Booth's father out of the house after he found out that he was physically abusing Booth. Hank thinks it's his fault that Booth grew up without a father.

Stephanie finds out about Meg's death from Booth. Stephanie and Meg were trying to lose weight together, and Meg lost more than Stephanie did. Stephanie tells Booth about Club Jiggles, which catered to large women and men who prefer them, especially those with fetishes about eating food off each other's bodies. Stephanie claims that she was at a party the night Meg died, so Booth asks her for names to prove her alibi. Angela manages to reconstruct enough of the victim's leg bone to figure out that the victim was 5'5" and weighed over 260 lb.

Booth and Brennan go to talk to the real estate agent and Howard. Howard explains that the house is going to be foreclosed if he couldn't sell it. Brennan notices that the name Hugo is on the real estate agent's list, and the agent recalls him as a large man who was looking at the house. They now think that he was the victim. Clark has found that the teeth in the ashes belong to Hugo and confides in Cam about his own grandfather, who never lived to see how accomplished Clark became. Cam insists that his grandfather would have been proud of him.

Booth speaks to Hugo's roommate, and it didn't look like Hugo was in any sort of trouble or had anyone who might want to retaliate against Hugo. Brennan gets an invite to dinner from Hank. The team has found a gastric banding device melted into the mattress. Hodgins finds out that the band was paid for illegally with Stephanie's insurance. Hank has set fire to Booth's apartment, burning the kitchen. Booth worries about leaving Hank alone. Booth brings Hank to the lab, and tells Sweets to keep an eye on him. Stephanie is shocked to find out that Meg used her insurance to get the gastric band (Stephanie gave Meg permission to use her insurance), as that was the reason why Stephanie was denied the procedure later on.

Clark discovers fracture signs on the bones. And there is a resin melted onto one of the bones which is identified as teak. The images of the home on the real estate website show the master bedroom, with finials shaped to look like the heads of Howard and his dead wife mounted on the bed. The victims must have been beaten up with the head. What if Howard found the pair having sex on that bed and killed them in rage? Howard admits to the crime.

As June and Luke (O-T Fagbenle) learn from Mark (Sam Jaeger), the USB they recovered from Gilead contained a video of Hannah. It shows her on a bridge in a school building before she looks right at the camera. This reassurance that their daughter is not only alive but can be found only revitalises their discussion about getting to her.

At the station, Jane and Frankie try to piece the crime together but run into dead ends. Frankie tried calling the husband and got no answer. Jane got a warrant for his credit cards and found out he stayed at a downtown hotel last night. She wonders if it might be to establish an alibi.

Outside Linda's room later, Modell is being wheeled out in a stretcher, and Scully follows it. Scully asks Skinner if Modell tried to speak with him, and Skinner replies that he said that "we got our man". Mulder comes running, and asks what happened. Skinner tells him that Modell had a gun, but Scully says that they haven't found a gun yet. Mulder then says "He said he had a gun.". Skinner agrees, then excuses himself. Mulder claims that Modell was actually unarmed and that he got Skinner to shoot at him on purpose in order to protect Linda Bowman. Scully doesn't believe him, as usual. Mulder asks where Linda is, and Scully says that they've taken her home as there was no need to keep her in protective custody anymore. Mulder then says he's going to the hospital to talk to Modell if he makes it through surgery. Scully tells him that talking to Modell has already done him enough harm. Mulder, annoyed, asks Scully to give him a call when she thinks he's come to his senses, before leaving. 781b155fdc
