Jack and Kate somehow get off the island and the ‘boat’ or helicopters or whatever they leave on takes them through some kind of time loop and something has gone wrong, the world either isnt the same or the people who left the island are getting sick or dying etc. Note Jacks line ‘Kate, we have to go back’ I think he means in time.
