the episode starts off showing what happens to desmond after he is shot. they take him to the emergency room and while penny and charlie are waiting in the hospital mrs faraday walks up. she tells her that she is the reason desmond was shot but does not say anything about why or how. penny is probably just as confused as i am. then they show whats happening on the island and go back to show daniel faraday arriving on the island and talking to miles. he recognizes miles and starts talking to him again as if he had just seen him days before. he seems to be rushing and in a hurry to talk to jack and figure out how they all got back on the island. he then tells jack that his mother was wrong when she told them it was their destiny to go back and they dont belong there. it makes me think that she sent them back because she knew they would die when they got rid of dharma initiative and then they would no longer be a threat to her or keeping the secrecy of the island??
