Best episodes
The Constant: An episode that shows how the power of love can save a person. With just a few words, Penny brought Desmond alive again physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Ji Yeon: The rare episode of flashbacks and flash-forwards that combined to make a cohesive narrative.
Meet Kevin Johnson: Michael had an interesting journey off the island. Consumed with guilt over murdering Ana-Lucia and Libby, Michael tries to take the easy way out by killing himself, but the island still has a grip on him. And won’t let go until he pays his debts.
The Shape of Things to Come: Alex pays the price for Ben and Charles Widmore’s long-standing feud.
There’s No Place Like Home parts 1-3: The overall plot, acting, and music felt more like past seasons than the majority of season four.
