Charlie then asks if he can hear the lightning too and reminds him of the lightning rod he put up outside Claire's tent before the storm hit. Desmond doesn't answer. He just gets up, gives Charlie back the bottle and tells him thanks. As he's walking off, Charlie wants to know what he's up to. Charlie says he's no hero just because he turned a key. Charlie then calls him a coward. In response, Desmond turns and jumps Charlie. He grabs his chin and pushes his head into the sand as he shouts that he doesn't want to know what happened to him. From ABC Promo 2/10/07: Desmond returns to the beach camp, comes upon Hurley and Charlie and wants both of them to come with him. Hurley wants to know if they found Eko. Back in the jungle, Charlie asks Locke what happened [to Eko] and Desmond starts acting strangely. He takes off running and the others chase after him. When they reach the beach, Desmond is rescuing Claire. Hurley comments that Desmond sees the future. From CTV Promo 2/3/07: Speculations based on the promo pics: [(Referencing the pics in order on the link below)
Pics 1 & 2 look to lead into the Lost Moment where Desmond rescues Claire who was drowning.
In Pic 3, Hurley is likely questioning Locke about Desmond's behavior.
In Pics 4 & 5, Desmond visits an antique shop and shows Mrs. Hawking a ring.
In Pic 6, Desmond is dressed sharply in a suit likely paid for with the money from selling his ring. He's visiting someone in the Widmore Industries building.
Pic 7 shows that the meeting didn't go so well.
Pic 8 involves one of those rainstorms that having meaning on the show.
Pic 9 has Mrs. Hawking and Desmond talking on the street. They are likely near the construction site accident that he predicted. The constable can be seen taking interest. Perhaps the accident is blamed on Desmond and that's how he ended up in jail.
No idea of the significance of Pic 10.]
