In the season 3 episode 21 of Lost titled "Greatest Hits," the focus shifts to one character in particular - Charlie Pace. Throughout the season, Charlie has been dealing with his own inner demons, as well as trying to keep up with the rest of the survivors on the island. This episode allows viewers to see into his mind, and the choices he has made throughout his time on the island.

The episode starts with Charlie recording a message inside a DHARMA station. He explains that he has been given a list by another survivor, Desmond, of the five moments in his life he considers to be his greatest hits. Along with this, Desmond has told Charlie that he will die in the near future, and that he must fulfill his purpose before he goes. As the episode progresses, the focus shifts to each of these "greatest hits," and Charlie's reactions to them.

The first moment takes us back to Charlie's past, before the island. He was in a band, DriveShaft, with his brother, Liam. Their song "You All Everybody" became a hit, but their subsequent lifestyle and drug use destroyed their relationship. This moment allows us to see the before and after of Charlie's life. He realizes that he has not been living a life he is proud of, but rather one that has been dictated by his addiction to drugs and his desire for fame.

The second moment is one that takes place on the island. Charlie is with Claire, a fellow survivor who he has grown quite close to. She reveals to him that she is pregnant with his child, and he realizes that he has a responsibility to be there for the mother of his child. This moment gives viewers a glimpse into Charlie's softer side, and his realization that the island has given him an opportunity to start over and be the person he wants to be.

The third moment takes place during Charlie's time on the island, and it involves the others - a group of people who have been living on the island for much longer than the survivors. Charlie and Claire are kidnapped by the others, and Charlie is forced to make a decision - save himself or save the woman he loves. This moment is a turning point for Charlie, as he sees that his own life is not as valuable as those around him. He decides to sacrifice himself to save Claire, and this act of bravery is what leads to his ultimate redemption in the eyes of the other survivors.

The fourth moment is another one that takes place on the island, and involves Desmond. Desmond tells Charlie that he has had a vision of Charlie's death, and that it will happen soon. Charlie doesn't believe him and sets out to prove him wrong. This moment is one of determination and courage, as Charlie refuses to accept his fate and tries to find a way to change it.

The final moment takes us back to the present, where Charlie is back in the DHARMA station recording his message. He has fulfilled his purpose, and is resigned to his fate. He reflects back on his life and the choices he has made, and realizes that he is at peace with them. This final moment is a powerful one, as it shows Charlie coming to terms with his own mortality and the impact he has had on the people around him.

Overall, "Greatest Hits" is a powerful episode that sheds light on one of the most complex characters in the show. It allows viewers to see into Charlie's mind and experience his journey of self-discovery. It also sets up the final episodes of the season, which promise to be full of action and surprises. Fans of the show will not want to miss this episode, as it is one of the most significant ones in the series.
