5x02 - "The Lie" Off Island

Prologue - Three Years Ago

1. This flashback takes place shortly before the emergence of the Oceanic Six.

2. Jack does have a point, the true story is a hard sell.

Present Day

The flashforward again takes place the day after "Because You Left."

Hurley and Sayid

1. Whoever was waiting at the safehouse did not want to kill Hurley or Sayid as they were armed with tranquilizer darts. Given the rift between Sayid and Ben, those people might have been in Ben's pocket.

2. So Hurley's seen Charlie, Eko, and now Ana-Lucia. She gives good directions. Why hasn't he seen Libby?

3. It's funny how Hurley claims he doesn't believe in lying. What has he been doing the past three years?

4. Seems that David Reyes is a fan of Expose. The tv series that N**** was a regular on.

5. Hurley's finally cracked. He finally told the truth.

Kate, Aaron and Sun

1. Kate pulled into the same gas station as Hurley and Sayid were pulling out. It's just like something that would happen in a FLASHBACK.

2. What brought Sun to LA? Is she the one filing the lawsuit against Kate and Aaron? Her timing seems suspicious.

3. Sun's waiting on the 31st floor. 3+1=4.

4. If Sun's right, then who is it that want's Aaron? Is it because he was born on the Island.

5. Sun's remark about Kate making "hard decisions when she has to" is a backhanded compliment.

Jack and Ben

1. Jack looks like he's already going through withdrawal. There's no way he was going to flush them away.

2. Jack has finally realized that there never was anything he had in his off Island life worth coming back to.

3. Why does Ben need to keep Locke's body safe?

Ben

1. Is Jill from the Island? Did she move the Island at one time?

2. Looks like Sayid's wound up right back in Ben's clutches.

3. How long has Ben been working for Ms. Hawking?

4. Hurley's decision to give himself up to the cops rather then go with Ben comes from Sayid's warning to "do the opposite" of whatever Ben tells you to do. What's really ironic is that scene has Ben at his most honest.

Mrs. Hawking

1. I like how her lab is in a church. It's a nice nod to the fact that science and faith have always collided on this show.

2. What happens if Ben can't get all of the six in 70 hours? Sounds like the end of the world.
