"The Little Prince" is the fourth television episode of the fifth season of ABC's Lost.

The episode opens with a flashback of Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) and Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) on Penny Widmore's (Sonya Walger) boat, following their rescue in early January 2005. Kate convinces Jack that once returning home that they should claim that Aaron (William Blanchette) is Kate's biological son, while in fact his mother is Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin). In late 2007, Kate leaves Aaron in the care of Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim) in order to confront attorney Dan Norton (Tom Irwin), who is pursuing a maternity test for Kate and Aaron. Norton tells Kate that he is going to meet his client later and Kate decides to follow him. 

Meanwhile, Ben Linus (Michael Emerson) meets up with Jack and Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) at the hospital. An orderly attacks Sayid, and when he finds Kate's address in his wallet he, along with Ben and Jack, suspects Kate is the next target. The three decide to split up ,with Jack going after Kate, and Sayid and Ben going to the prison where Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia) is being held, following his arrest in "The Lie". Jack and Kate follow Norton to a motel where he meets with Claire's mother, Carole (Susan Duerden). 

Once Norton leaves, Jack confronts Carole, who is only in Los Angeles to sue Oceanic Airlines and has nothing to do with the maternity test. At the prison, Ben meets with Norton, who is also acting as Hurley's lawyer and is confident that he can have Hurley released the following morning. Ben and Sayid meet up with Jack and Kate, where Kate figures out that Ben has hired Norton to do the maternity test, while Sun, armed with a gun, watches the conversation from a car with Aaron.

On the island, following the latest time jump at the end of the previous episode "Jughead", Charlotte is still unconscious. She eventually wakes up and the group of her, Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies), Miles Straume (Ken Leung), John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) and Juliet Burke (Elizabeth Mitchell) leave to travel to the Dharma Initiative Orchid Station, where Locke believes he can find a way to leave the island. 

Along the way, two time jumps occur, one which brings them to November 1, 2004, the night Aaron was born and Boone Carlyle (Ian Somerhalder) died; and another which brings them to the future. At their beach camp, they find a canoe which they use to sail to the other side of the island. They are attacked by unknown assailants and another time jump brings them to 1988, in the middle of the storm that caused Danielle Rousseau (older: Mira Furlan; younger: Melissa Farman) and her research team's boat to crash on the island. Her science team, led by Montand (Marc Menard), find Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) unconscious floating on driftwood.
