The episode expanded on Desmond, and his ability to "see the future". He talked about a flash back/time travel. Apparently, when he turned the key, he went back to his life before the island. He had fallen off a ladder and hit his head, so he didn't remember anything. The next day, he went to Penny's father to ask if he could marry her, and he said you are not worthy. When he walked out, he ran into Charlie playing his guitar for donations on the street, then it all started coming back to him. He talked to a friend about time travel, and asked if it were possible, then telling his friend about the soccer match on the tv, and someone that was going to walk through the door, but neither happened, and his friend was thinking he was mad. Desmond finally decided to buy a ring for Penny, when he got there, the woman told him that he wouldn't marry her, and all the things he had to do in the next three years, i.e. the island. He didn't believe her. He met Penny, and took a photo with her (the crumbled photo he carries), and just after that, he told her he couldn't do it. He then went to the Pub again, and his predictions came true, but when the guy came in to hurt the bar keep, he got hit instead. When he came to, he was back on the island, after the implosion of the hatch.
I'm sure I'm leaving something out.
