Lost episode 4.04 - Eggtown (Kate-centric)

This was probably my least favorite episode thus far this season, though I still enjoyed it. I haven't read any of the boards yet, other than the E! recap, but here are my thoughts so far. I may add more later. We'll see...

The big "wow" came on the last scene of the night, of course, with Kate picking up her "son"... who we didn't even know she had until the courtroom. All of us as viewers are sitting there guessing whether it is Jack's or Sawyer's... then assuming Sawyer's because it is blonde... then the bombshell is dropped at the end when the kid says "Hi, Mommy", to which she replies "Hi, Aaron"! As in Claire's Aaron?!? So did she steal him, did something happen to Claire, did Claire willingly send him or what?

Jack testifying a false story about the crash at Kate's trial about there only being 8 survivors of the crash, it being in water, etc. And what does that mean about the two who aren't part of the "Oceanic Six"?

Speaking of Jack, where does this place his flash-forward from last season's finale? Is drunken-scruff Jack AFTER this trial flash-forward? I'm guessing now the "I need to get back to him" exit Kate had in that finale is referencing Aaron.

What's up with Locke the tyrant? Severe frustration with Ben. Banishing Kate. Hand grenade in Miles' mouth!

As for Miles, what the heck was that about him trying to extort $3.2M from Ben? Are we to make anything of the fact that Miles had no concerns over Ben's current captivity in providing that amount? Or of his statement he'd "take care" of Charlotte?

We know Kate ends up off-island and on-trial... but why does she do that when she knows they know she's a fugitive? And what about her sentence of 10-years probation, with the agreement not to leave the state. That obviously sets up for interesting circumstances for her to get back to the island, if so needed/desired.

Does Jack really not want to see Aaron? Lest we forget, Claire is Jack's half-sister (though neither know it yet).

What's up with the scene with Daniel "only" correctly guessing 2 of 3 cards from the deck? Does he have some special power, too, much like Miles can communicate with the dead.


Next up: Episode 4.05 - The Constant (Desmond-centric)
Sayid and Desmond hit a bit of turbulence on the way to the freighter, which causes Desmond to experience some unexpected side effects.
