So Sayid did not get possessed by Jacob when he woke up from the dead. But Japanese leader Dogen thinks something dark and dangerous is growing in him. So dangerous that he wants to poison our favorite Iraqi.

The Others still claim that they took the Losties with them as protection against Smokey. When Sayid was close to dying they were terrified and insisted on his importance. And now he is infected with evil? Hmmm. What physical reaction did they expected from a tortured person?

Dogen also says the same happened to Jack's sister, Claire.
Who is the new Rousseau, as it seems. She obviously meant to help Jin, but looked mighty confused when he addressed her with her name. What the heck has she been up to?

As for the "plane never crashes"-reality: Claire and Kate had a little contractions adventure there. Most shocking news: Dr. Ethan Goodspeed is going to deliver the baby.
Back then, he was never on the plane, only claimed he was. So, like Desmond last time, he is another example of changed reality moving around quite a lot of chess figures on the board.

I still like to think that what we see happening on the Island will lead into the events of the plane landing safely in LA. However that's gonna work.

Also, imdb.com scheduled episodes for next Tuesday and the 23rd as well. No Olympics break after all?
