LOST Pre-Game: “What Kate Does”

Remember, when Jack comes back from the bathroom, Desmond is sitting next to his seat, and he hadn’t been there before. (He claims that he moved because the guy next to him was snoring.) And then later, there’s no sign of him at all. Now, it’s possible he moved back to his old seat. But since Locke’s knives and Christian’s body disappeared from the plane, Desmond X might have disappeared as well. Or, just as Desmond tends to come unstuck in time, maybe our Desmond ended up in Timeline X. And since this could be a timeline where he never met Penny, or she doesn’t even exist, he may have a vested interest in changing things back. Remember, in the past, White Oracle took action to make sure that the timeline worked the way it was supposed to. If she died when the bomb went off, that might be Desmond’s job now.
