Complete Episode Guide: Catch 22 Guide

Catch 22 Clues

  • The book Desmond found in the pack was titled Catch - 22 and was written in Portuguese, which is the language the two men that called Penny to say they found "it" spoke (Ep: 2x23, Live Together, Die Alone).

  • Even though Desmond now has both pictures of he and Penny, we haven't seen the two pictures together. (May not mean anything.)

  • When Desmond talks to Brother Campbell just before leaving the monastery, we see a picture on the desk of Brother Campbell with Ms. Hawking.

  • If you play one of Desmond's flashes backwards, you hear one of them say, "Hey, can you hear me?" (Lost Screencaps and Easter Eggs)

Questions Raised by Catch 22

  • Was the woman travelling to the island or did the helicopter just happen to crash near the island like Flight 815, Henry Gale's balloon, Desmond's sailboat, etc.? It seems she was heading to the island to find Desmond.

  • How are there two pictures of Desmond and Penny when only one was taken (Ep: 3x8, Flashes Before Your Eyes)?
