I liked the episode as the writers are connecting the dots of the umbrella stories. I thought the freighter was Widmore's operation and when he purchased the journal from the Black Rock; I assumd that he was searching for clues to the location. Tovard Hanso is related to the captain of the Black Rock , which is land locked and one of his relatives helped in the formation of the Dharma Initiative. I'm fascinated at how the writers have taken great twists from other books and incorporated them in a massive big story.

It is a fact that the parallel worlds exist and there is a portal in between the two. I think Ben's spy is Ben and he is able to skip over into the other world when the need arrives. We know he is in the future after the Oceanic 6 escaped or rescued.

Ben has control over Locke as a keeper of the island. He doesn't want the masses trying to find the "Paradise of Your mind". Widmore, the economist is searching for the Dharma location for business sense. Can you imagine what the world would be like if all disease's could be cured, it would alter the business world and job markets.

Our introduction to Juliet in the beginning was one of an innocent care taker. Last night's show exposed a few of her flaws. I was happy to see that she wouldn't kill for Ben. To me, Juliet know the extent of Ben's ruthless ways and she is fearful or playing the innocent one for Jack. Jack is a little behind the eight-ball since he doesn't have a clue to the two parallel worlds.

Loved the dash of humor from Hurley and Sawyer when they saw Ben carrying his fresh linens and clothes to his house. You have to figure their trust in Locke went out the window.
