What were Christian's shoes really about? What happened when Jack finally read Locke's note? And what about all the other people on Ajira Airways Flight 316?? There's simply too much to talk about this week, but we do our best. Also, Jeff Fahey joins us to talk about playing Frank Lapidus, the laid-back pilot who ultimately returns the survivors to the Island.

The big question this week: Why does Kate decide to raise Aaron, and claim that he is her child?

We're psyched for a Desmond episode, although we've got questions about his decision to go visit Charles Widmore — and about Daniel Faraday's decision not to tell Charlotte what's happening to her. We also interview prop master Rob Kyker, who tells us about creating the DHARMA vans and beer cans, his emergency glassblower and spray-panting bunny rabbits.

It's the Season 4 finale, so we've got some deep philosophical debates: Is Ben already plotting his return to the island? Is Locke really cut out to lead the Others? And who are this season's most and least valuable players? Plus we chat with Michael Emerson, who tells us what it was like to turn the Frozen Donkey Wheel and why he was always playing Ben's lines for laughs.

Finally, we see the Oceanic Six return to the real world, complete with a press conference. But back on the island, chaos reigns: Jack and Sawyer go in pursuit of Hurley, Desmond discovers explosives on the freighter, the Others capture Kate and Sayid, and still, Ben always has a plan. And actor Malcolm David Kelley calls into The Hatch for a conversation about what Walt, and Lost, meant to him.  Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/thehatchpodcast.

What is destiny, anyway? We try to figure out what it means for Locke and for Ben, as Locke attempts to save the island and Ben attempts to avoid grappling with his sins. Plus we welcome back Kevin Durand (Martin Keamy), who tells us about filming his epic fight with Sayid, getting stabbed by Ben and ad-libbing one of the show's funniest lines.
