Desmond in his infinite wisdom has decided to take the bold step that the writers have hinted at but are too panty-waisted to take. Yes, he has decided to kill off Charlie. Or at least not to get in the way when Charlie bites the big one, despite the fact that his vision spells out the exact location, time, and costume choice of Charlie's gruesome demise and Desmond therefore could totally prevent it. Why has he forsaken his role as Charlie's personal savior? Because Charlie's life is nothing compared to the chance to save Penny, who, Desmond is convinced, has parachuted onto the Island and is in desperate need of rescue. When Desmond finds a copy of Catch-22 with his photo in it, he is pretty darn sure he is right. So why does he change his mind and save Charlie? Well, it turns out Desmond has a pretty strong religious streak, what with being a monk and all. What's that you say? Yes, apparently even though Eko is gone, the Island is still lousy with clergy. Via a flashback, it is revealed that Desmond spent some quality time in a monastery after running away from his Scottish fiancée. Now that we know he is Brother Desmond, at least we have a reasonable explanation for all that "brother" nonsense. Still, it's a good thing there's a preacher on hand, 'cause with all the illicit nookie going on, someone is bound to get hitched. Or at least get hurt and maybe need last rites. So a monk will definitely come in handy.
Oh, and the parachuter? Totally not Penny.
