I do! It was a really good episode. A good place to get a recap is at televisionwithoutpity.com. They are very detailed and VERY funny. The recap for the last one isn't posted yet, but they have a thumbnail sketch to hold you until the recap goes live. Here's what it says:
"Thank god we open with Sayid, Charlie, and Ana-Lucia finding Henry Gale's balloon, since ABC kind of blew that for us in the previews. But, as suspected, things aren't quite what they seem. We'll come back to that.
Henry continues to worm his way into Locke's good books by driving a wedge between him and Jack. And when a mysterious and garbled radio transmission is followed by the sealing up of the hatch (pinning Locke's legs underneath when he foolishly thinks a toolbox can hold up these massive steel doors), Locke needs a little help from the man who calls himself Henry Gale, who makes Locke promise to protect him from the avenging Lostaways, "no matter what." No, that's totally not suspicious or anything. Alarms sound, and the lights go out, and Locke sees a large black-light map of what looks like the island hatches on the steel door pinning him down, but just for a second.
Jack finally realizes that maybe it's not a good idea for the island con artist to hoard all the medical supplies, especially when the going rate for a tube of Neosporin is ten loads of laundry. Luckily, the Texas Hold 'Em fad has somehow even permeated Craphole Island, and Jack acts like he's a master player, because skill is what gets you pocket kings. And he gets the medical supplies back.
At night, Jack and Kate see a flashing strobe light and find what appears to be a shipment of Dharma supplies (there's mac and cheese, at any rate). Big deal, since they still have lots of food, apparently, even after Hurley's big food orgy.
Back in the hatch, Locke now trusts Henry, except turns out that in the grave that Charlie found? Henry's wife wasn't buried there. A man named Henry Gale was.
The flashbacks? Oh, Locke's dad fakes his death, and he needs Locke's help to get some money he conned from these two thugs (we never get to that particular fireworks factory). Locke does it, for some reason, and Helen leaves him, engagement ring in hand, because he needs his dad's love more than he needs Helen's. It's not like we didn't know this. "
