“Destiny Calls” aired during ABC’s coverage of the 2008 US Presidential Election on Tuesday night.

Due to the effect of the Writers Strike, the ‘lost’ hours will be placed as 1 extra episode each into seasons 5 and 6 of Lost.

With the good news that Lost will be receiving an extra episode this year to bring the total of Seasion 4 to 14 hours - there’s the bad news that the return will be delayed by 7 days for Sky viewers.
According to Sky Programme Information, Lost will return on May 4th, which will means UK viewers will be two episodes behind the American viewings until the two hour season finale (May 29th, US - June 1st, UK) where they will make the extra week up with a double episode finale.

It has been confirmed today that Lost will be getting an extra episode, bringing the total for Season 4 up to 14 episodes. So after all the fears due to the writers strike, we are actually only getting two less than was originally planned! Sure 14 episodes is still quite a lot less than previous series, but I hope you’ll agree with me that so far the quality has been much higher per-episode than previous seasons. Only 12 more days until Lost returns to Sky One!

According to a source that contacted the spoiler website DarkUFO, Michael Emerson (who plays Ben) and Yunjin Kim (Sun), along with director Jack Bender landed at Heathrow Airport on Thursday morning to shoot scenes for an upcoming episode of Lost.
The source speculates the scenes that are going to be filmed over the next few days will be scenes for this years finale, based on the fact that Jack Bender has directed Lost’s season finale for the past 3 years.
