Number 1: ‘The Constant’ (Season 4, Episode 5)
If this episode didn’t make you cry, I don’t know what will. The love story between Desmond and Penny was one of the purest and most powerful of the entire series.
It was also a great showcase of Lost‘s fascinating approach to time. When Desmond and other characters came “unstuck” in time as a result of the island’s strange electromagnetic properties, he had to find his “constant” — a person who exists in both his past and present timelines — or die.
Lucky for him, he got ahold of his long-lost love, Penelope Widmore. In a show that poses a lot more questions than answers, this episode offered at least a little very welcome resolution.
Honorable mentions: The Man Behind the Curtain (Season 3, Episode 20), Solitary (Season 1, Episode 8), Exposé (Season 3, Episode 14)
