What Season 6 of Lost

Season six opens with a narrative twist, the flash-sideways, which shows a different reality. In it, Oceanic Flight 815 lands in Los Angeles without suffering the crash. On the island, Jack's group, led by him, splits into factions. Some follow Jacob, while others join the fake Locke, who recruits survivors for his cause as black smoke spreads across the territory. Sawyer escapes from the temple, and Kate and Jin go after him. Widmore, for his part, wants to use Desmond as a guinea pig. The season consists of 18 episodes.
