Pretty interesting episode. We saw that Jack got back with Kate in the future. We also see that Jack is beginning to have reason to believe Hurley about getting back to the island. What with his dead father appearing and all.

Claire’s disappearance has to be by the island and not due to those freighter A-holes. It’s probably the island’s way of saying, hey if you are going to leave I need insurance that you’ll be back. Which goes with the whole Aaron can’t be raised by others thing.

Interesting that the “smoke” detector went off with Jack’s dads visit. Smoke monster or misdirection?

Between Claire’s abduction and Jack getting sick where people do not get sick, it seems like the island is now taking an active hand in trying to keep them there.

And what’s with the Freighter A-holes? The smoke monster didn’t kill all of their asses?

All in all a pretty good episode that moved things forward and gave us some answers and clues. I think at the end of the season we are going to find out what the real consequences of the rescue were.

What did I miss?
