QUICK THOUGHTS:

KATE
Whatever happened with Aaron may have involved some of the other Oceanic 6 — or perhaps in the course of her day away from Jack, she learned some crucial intel on everyone's motivations. That's my explanation for her line on the plane: ''Just because we're on the same plane doesn't mean we're together….''

BEN
When Ben told Jack he was going to attend to an errand — a promise to an old friend — I think what he meant was that he was going to go kill Penelope, per his pledge to Widmore. But clearly, something either went horribly wrong or horribly right, judging from all that blood that was covering Ben.

JILL THE BUTCHER
I get a Juliet vibe off her. What do you think? Also, I noticed her shop was called ''Simon's Butcher.'' Which reminds me of my favorite Paul Simon lyric: ''Faith! Faith is an island in the setting sun/But proof! Proof is the bottom line for everyone.''

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BEN'S THOMAS THE APOSTLE SPEECH
Ben seemed to have someone in mind when he was ruminating on poor, misunderstood Thomas. Who?

MS. HAWKING
She said that unless the circumstances of the original flight were replicated perfectly, ''The result would be unpredictable.'' What did you make of that?

Sorry for the delay on posting this, folks. I was up all night with both some sick children, as well as this noodle-cooker. To make it up to you, I have something cool: An easter egg of exclusive Lost content — an interview with Lost exec producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, discussing this season's creative direction and a hint of how next week's episode fits into the master plan of the season. Start looking for this bonus bunch of fun in our message boards around 4 PM Eastern Time. If you like, and you think it's cool, we'll see about doing more each week.
