After tonight’s episode, only the sixth of the still-young fall television season, ABC will take “Lost” off the air for 13 weeks. The show will return on Feb. 7 for a run of 16 or 17 new episodes that will carry viewers into late May.
The episode begins with Sayid, Desmond, and Frank Lapidus flying off the island on a clear day heading towards a threatening thunder cloud. Frank concentrates on specific bearings that were provided to him by physicist Daniel Faraday.
