Catch-22

Desmond has a vision. A red parachute. A cable. A woman. And Charlie. Dead. Again. This time, an arrow through the throat.

Desmond organizes an expedition. Charlie, Hurley and Jin go with him. Every detail of the vision comes true. The cable. The rain. The arrow. Desmond must choose: let Charlie die so the vision fulfills itself, or save him and risk changing everything.

He saves Charlie. The parachutist falls anyway. Caught in a tree. They get her down. She opens her eyes. "Desmond?" She knows him. Her name: Naomi Dorrit. She comes from a freighter. And she was looking for Desmond.
