Another split season of the ABC hit series "Lost" concluded on Thursday night and the season has ended. It was a good Lost season finale and finally those that watch the show were shown the identity of the man in the coffin, referred to as Jerry Bentham. Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson) wants Jack (Matthew Fox) to return the island with all of the Oceanic Six, plus one.

The plus one is Jeremy Bentham or is this case John Locke. He is dressed in a black suit and is the man that is inside the coffin at the funeral home. Locke swore he would never leave the island, but there he is (apparently dead) in Los Angeles in the mysterious casket. Ben tells Jack he needs to collect the body and take him back to the island along with Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) and the baby (now roughly three years old, Aaron). He'll also need to round up Sun (Yunjin Kim) and convince her to return.

Jack tells Ben that sun "Blames him for everything". We lose Sun's husband Jin Kwon (played by Daniel Dae Kim) in the finale as he dies from a massive explosion of C-4 while still on the boat. The ship that many believed would get our castaways home was rigged with explosives and they were detonated when head mercenary Martin Keamy (Kevin Durand) was killed by Ben.

Lost, yet? The keys to the season finale in Reader's Digest form: Desmond and Penny are reunited. Penny's boat is the one that finds the Oceanic Six. Obviously Desmond makes it off the island and also making it out alive is the helicopter pilot Frank Lapidus.

The rest of the six then leave the comfort of Penny's luxury cruiser and sailed to an inhabited island where they will be discovered and finally return home and become the celebrities that are the Oceanic Six. During the middle of the episode Ben moves the island and it vanishes right into the ocean. Left behind on the beach are a shirtless Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell).

It is not revealed where the island was moved. What is next for season five? It appears there will be more flash forwards, flash backs and the entire mystery of time travel. All in all, a nice comeback for season four of Lost after a bumpy season three that was a turn off for many regular viewers. Bring on season five.
