CTV has pulled down that episode from their online line-up so I can't re watch it.
In the scene toward the end when Jacob and Ricardo have their discussion, does anyone remember if Jacob casually gave wine to Richard on-screen or if they were shown sharing a drink? Was the bottle he used in his explanation that the Island was like a cork stopping wine from spilling out of the bottle Mom's bottle of elixir of eternal life? I vaguely recall it was the same bottle and had more or less the same amount of wine in it, but I'm not sure.
That would open all sort of questions if he made Ricardo eternal and ageless by giving him some of the wine instead of through some other mean... (or perhaps Jacob just brought out the bottle because he was toying with the idea of making Ricardo his heir, before changing his mind?)

I just rewatched that part: First of all, they sit outside the foot of the statue and Ricardo nods at it, asking what's inside. Jacob answers: "No one comes in unless I invite them in".
They then share wine from said bottle in cups and Jacob explains that if the wine is hell, evil, darkness, then the cork is this island, keeping darkness where it belongs. He also explains why he doesn't help people he brings here: It's all meaningless if he has to force them, if they can't tell good from bad by themselves. Then he decides that maybe Richard can step in for him from now on. Richard wants forgiveness for his sins and when Jacob replies that he can't give him that, Richard says he wants to live forever. Then Jacob touches his shoulder and says: "That I can do."
Now, did it already happen through the drink? Or with the touch? What does that mean for the touch he gave the candidates?

Maybe MIB is special because Mother thought he would kill her.

Or maybe she felt Jacob was too good to do what had to be done to protect the island.

That's Jimmy Kimmel. I almost didn't bother to click because I thought it was going to be Fallon.
