The last installment of Luci's 3-part "Lost" finale recap (read  part 2):

SPOILER ALERT

A taxi arrives at a church. It's Real Locke in WITPDCAR. He gets into his wheelchair. He sees Ben outside. Ben apologizes for everything. "I was selfish. Jealous. You were special, John. And I wasn't." "Ben, if it helps, I forgive you." Ben chooses to stay outside even though everyone else is inside. (A self-imposed penance perhaps?) Ben tells Locke he doesn't need the wheelchair anymore and Locke walks into the church on his own two legs.

More from Luci Chavez on last night's "Lost" finale (read part 1 of recap here):

Juliet, Claire and David (Dylan Minnette) are walking into he concert in WITPDCAR. Juliet has to go back to the hospital, I presume. Charlie is passed out in the green room until the lovely Charlotte wakes him. "I got shot by a fat man." Daniel Farraday/Widmore (Jeremy Davies) is in the green room, too. He and Charlotte meet.

Outside, David and Claire sit at Table 23 with Desmond and Kate. (The producers think they're so cute.) Dr. Chang is emceeing the event. It is his museum after all. Daniel Widmore is going to jam with Drive Shaft while playing classical piano. Highly unlikely in real life because, in my mind, Drive Shaft is basically Oasis but I don't even care because there is Charlie with his bass looking just shy of sober! Yeah!!!!

  The latest recap from our "Lost" blogger, Luci Chavez.

If there's a cure for this, I don't want it. And by "it" I mean my super-sized obsession with Desmond Hume episodes on Lost. What's not to love when I'm guaranteed to hear the lonely, achingly lovely cello that unhinges me every single time?

This one also featured — because, apparently, I have been a very good girl — my beloved Charlie, that silver fox Charles Widmore, and the lovely Penny.

In this case, love has got a lot to do with it. And by "it" I mean the convoluted mess we know as Lost mythology.  SPOILER ALERT! 

Lost lost its damn mind on Wednesday in a Daniel Farraday episode called The Variable.(The last time an episode was named after Farraday shenanigans was that incredible Desmond-Penny episode last season — "You answered, Penny. Penny, you answered." — called The Constant.) This is a day late because it took me two days to get over it.

Welcome to the jungle, my friends.

WARNING. WARNING. YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN. SPOILER ALERT.

I like math as much as the next person but could we ease up on all the numbers, Lost boys? The time-jumping has me frazzled. I figured I'd ask. So Carlton Cuse says no but he'll make it up to me with a Matthew Fox-centered episode? Well, OK, if he must.

Here's a look back at "316." Careful. Spoilers after the jump ...
