Synopsis: A delirious Eko wrestles with demons from his past, while Locke and some of the other castaways head back to The Pearl -- one of the Dharma Initiative's island stations -- hoping to find a computer that they can use to locate Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Meanwhile, Jack doesn't know whom to trust when two of "The Others" seem at odds with one another. This week a major character not named Sawyer will join the dead lostaways, you won't believe who it is. (ABC Press Release)


Flashback: Eko

OMG Moments: Eko is killed by the black cloud.


New Clues:


Questions: Don't you think it seems like a lot of the Others don't seem to get along with each other often and they take their frustrations out on the people they kidnap?

-No, I think thats just acting on the part of the others.
--Producers have already confirmed that there are at least two factions of "Others." It just remains to be seen who is on the same side as whom.

Trivia:


Theories: The reason why the Others kidnapped Jack is because he's a spinal surgeon and Ben has a growing tumor on his spinal cord that is going to kill him unless it is removed.

THEORY: The Others in general need the survivors for a collective and indivdual purpose. The survivors are not simply meant for capture, the Others are trying to make them conform -- in Sawyer's case, Ben wants him to admit that he needs someone to survive (i.e. accept that he is a father and/or in love with Kate). The overall theme of Season 3 seems to emphasize survival between the captives, the Others, and (soon-to-be) the remaining survivors. The tumor, for instance, could be any one of the Others or some other captives that we don't know about. But, how did that tumor get there? If so, how do the Others have the medical resources to help it? Could the tumor be the real Henry Gale before he died? Another issue involves Desmond, Locke, and Eko, how is it possible that all three could survive the "imploded" explosion? Was anything scattered around them when they awoke? No. All we knew were the positions of Desmond and Locke, which seemed eerily planted? Either way, I am beginning to see the importance of the Others in terms of their involvement with our beloved characters. Something that a show like LOST could only pull off.

- I like that theory
