After watching the end of the episode, I got goosebumps! Did you??? I thought the writing and how the storyline was revealed was excellent.
Our question of why Kate wasn’t in jail was answered. And we know that she’ll always be in CA. (I mean who would leave that nice nanny and spacious house in the O.C.?) We also find out who “he” is.
We also find out that in addition to the Oceanic 6, there were 2 that also survived the crash (in their fabricated post-island story).
Kate may be snuggling with Sawyer, but she loves Jack back. She went back to the barracks to see what life lie ahead of her if she went back with Jack. That leaves the question… what happened to cause Kate and Jack not to end up together post-island?
From the look on Jack’s face after being invited to the house, he is haunted by Aaron. I’m guessing that Aaron’s “rescue” was a result something he did not agree with – either he was taken against Claire’s will or Claire died. I’m also guessing that Kate doesn’t want her mom to meet Aaron for fear she might know it’s not really Kate’s baby (assuming it isn’t Kate’s baby, but Claire’s).
The helicopter hasn’t arrived. Much like Desmond’s boat never left the island. However, I think Desmond’s boat has more to do with the magnetic pull (pre-violet sky). The island seems to be on a time delay, so there is still a physical anomaly with the island.
In the previews, we see there is a “storm” that the helicopter must enter. I wonder if that is what Juliet slept through on her way to the island. Like there’s some Bermuda Triangle properties going on. (I don’t read the forums or spoilers, so I’m sure this theory has come up before.)
Good stuff & observations
- Show opens with a close up of John’s eye (What is up with the eye motif? The island eye sees all? LOL)
- It’s morning and we also see Locke in the kitchen preparing food and pulling something from a bookshelf. A play off of the season 2 premier of Desmond in the hatch and season 4 with Jack in his L.A. kitchen.
- Underground tunnels in Ben’s house which probably connect to other areas of the island.
- Ben’s in lock down again. Even more interesting (and foreshadowing) is John making himself at home in Locke’s house and becoming more Ben-like…
- I need to get a Dharma coffee mug!
- Kate is still calling Sawyer by his real first name, while Sawyer is calling her Freckles again.
- More one-liners from Hurley
- No one of the Oceanic 6 ever answers direct questions from people
- Sawyer becoming the island poster child for literacy and lenscrafters

Questions
- What little memory experiment were Daniel and Charlotte doing with the cards? (I think they were sent to test/compare the physical properties of the island)
- Wouldn’t it be completely odd to move into The Others’ barracks? Didn’t they just disappear? I assume John knows where they are (and presumably The Others trust him).

- Why wasn’t the freighter answering the satellite phone?
- Why does Kate have Aaron? Especially after being reluctant to hold him.

- Jack, Hurley, Kate, Aaron… Who are the other Oceanic 6?!?!
