"Eggtown" is the fourth episode of the fourth season and 76th episode overall of the ABC's serial drama television series Lost. It was aired on February 21, 2008, on ABC in the United States and on CTV in Canada.[2] It was written by supervising producer Elizabeth Sarnoff and script coordinator Greggory Nations and directed by co-executive producer Stephen Williams.[3] This is the first episode written by Nations.
The episode's island plot takes place in late December 2004, 90-plus days after the crash of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815. Flashforwards show Kate Austen (played by Evangeline Lilly) on trial for her numerous pre-island crimes, after her escape from the island.[4] "Eggtown" was watched by 15 million people and received mixed reviews from critics. The cliffhanger was generally praised, but the slow pace was criticized.
