So who was the woman w/ Ben at the end? Are we supposed to remember her?

[Norman Conquest]

The woman at the end was Miss Hawking, the woman Desmond tried to buy the ring from in the episode where he became unstuck in time (Flashes Before Your Eyes). She also has some connection to the head monk in Desmond’s monastery.

Best line of the night: Ana-Lucia to Hurley. “Libby says hi.”

[Lucky9teen]

She was the lady in "Flashes Before Your Eyes", that Desmond had gone to, to buy a ring for Penelope.


The jewelry lady? I think she has knowledge of everything that will happen and she knows that trying to stop it is futile, as "the universe has a way of course correcting."


After she spells out for Desmond everything he will do (the boat race, reaching the Island, entering the numbers, turning the key in the Hatch), she says, "And if you don't do those things, Desmond David Hume, every single one of us is dead."

[MomwithHope]

She was in an earlier season with Desmond, would not sell him an engagement ring she owned the jewelry store. I remember a “pearl” a picture on the counter of her with her son but I can’t remember who he is, someone recognizable from the show.
