In his desperation to flee, he engages Jack in a fierce battle, severely injuring him. However, with Kate's assistance, Jack manages to defeat him. Coming to terms with his fate, Jack sacrifices himself to reignite the island's heart, enabling his friends to escape on the Ajira plane. Hurley steps up as the new protector of the island, appointing Ben as his advisor.
