Post #36 LOST Revelation Thursday...

This is a pretty lengthy post, my apologies.

Last night’s episode: “The Little Prince”
Primary Focus Character: Kate/Aaron
Secondary Focus Character: Jack/Sawyer

On Island:
Sawyer, Locke, Juliet, Miles, Charlotte, and Daniel are in the field where the "Others" 1954 camp was before the most recent flash. Charlotte is revived and Locke suggests that the group head to the Orchid station. In order to save time he suggests heading to the beach camp and using the zodiac. After dark, while traveling through the jungle, they see a beam of light emanating from the ground. Recognizing it as the light he saw the night Boone died, coming from the Hatch, Locke takes them in a different direction. Miles notices that he has started having a nose bleed. Sawyer hears screaming and finds Kate assisting Claire as she gave birth to Aaron. The events surrounding the LOSTies originally occurred on November 1, 2004. Sawyer is obviously overwhelmed; the scene ends with another time flash.

After the flash the group makes its way to the beach. It has been ransacked None of the remaining survivors are in the camp and the zodiac is gone. There are a pair of canoes, one containing a water bottle with an Ajira Airways label. The group takes a canoe and makes their way toward the Orchid. The soon realize their are being pursued. As the other boat closes in, and shots are being fired at the LOSTies, another time flash occurs. Because the beach camp had been built, the time of this flash is post-Oceanic crash. However, the time is not easily identified.

The group finds itself in the middle of a storm and makes their way to shore. There they find debris from a recent shipwreck. Juliet realizes that she is now experiencing a nose bleed. Meanwhile, a French-speaking group is seen in an emergency raft fighting the storm. They see someone floating in the water and rescue....dum, dum, dum...Jin. They finally reach the beach and a woman in the group identifies herself as...dum...dum...dum...Danielle Rousseu.

Off Island:
Kate leaves Aaron with Sun at the hotel. Sun receives a package from an unknown source. The package consists of a surveillance report, a box of chocolates with a hidden gun inside, and photos of Jack and Ben in front of the Hoffs-Drawlar funeral home.

Kate meets with the lawyer who came to her house, volunteering she will provide her blood and Aaron's if he will tell her who his client is. He says that she is in no position to bargain and that she will lose custody.

Meanwhile, Jack and Sayid are in the hospital waiting for Sayid to regain his strength. Jack leaves the room to be chewed out for being irrespondible. A nurse comes to give Sayid medication, but Sayid recognizes this as an ambush and moves from the hospital bed just as the nurse attempts to shoot him with a dart gun. After disabling the gunman and choking him, he demands to know who sent him. The man tells him there is an address in his pocket. Sayid then shoots him twice with the dart gun.

Jack's phone rings - Hurley, who is at the county jail in an orange jumpsuit, is very happy. Jack assures him that Sayid is okay. Hurley says to tell Sayid he followed his advice (In "Because You Left", Sayid cautioned Hurley to do the exact opposite of whatever Linus requested of him.). Ben arrives. They get the piece of paper from the attacker's pocket. It has Kate's address. Jack calls Kate and persuades her to tell him where she is. He goes to meet her.

Kate and Jack follow the lawyer from his offices to a motel near LAX. Concluding that his mysterious client must be there, they watch as he goes to a room. When the door opens they see Carol Littleton inside. Concluding that she intends to gain custody of Aaron, Kate attempts to flee, but Jack convinces her to allow him to talk to Ms Littleton. When he does so he discovers that Littleton has no knowledge of Aaron's existence and was in town to settle a lawsuit against Oceanic Airlines. Upon learning this, Jack and Kate go to rendezvous with Ben, unbeknownst to Kate that the lawyer is actually Ben's lawyer as well.

Ben and Sayid meet the lawyer in the police garage where he informs Ben that the charges will be dropped against Hurley and that he should be out by the next morning. When Sayid asks who the man is, Ben says he is his lawyer.

Jack, Kate, Ben and Sayid meet up, but when Kate sees Ben she looks very disturbed. Jack then tells her that Ben is with him and that Ben is there to help them and everyone they left behind. Kate then accuses Ben of trying to take Aaron, Jack dismisses it, but Ben quickly says that Kate is right and apologizes to Jack. Kate then asks Ben why he doesn't just leave her and her son alone, Ben responds to that with 'Because he's not your son, Kate'. It is then revealed that Sun is observing them from a car with Aaron sleeping in the back and her surveillance photos in the passenger seat. She then gets her gun and steps out.

Big Reveals:
Jin is alive.
We see a young Danielle Rousseu and her team.
The name on the side of Ben's van, "Canton Rainier" is an anagram of "reincarnation."

Big Questions:
* What is the nature of the "time sickness"?
* If the "sickness" first strikes individuals who have spent more time on the Island, why are Charlotte and Miles affected?
* What is Ben's motive for separating Aaron from Kate?
* Who were the pursuers in the other boat?
o Were they responsible for ransacking the beach camp?
o What happened to the rest of the survivors?
o When did these events take place?
* Who sent the package to Sun?
* Who was Sayid's assailant at the hospital and why did he have Kate's address?
