If you pay close attention to the episode you see that Smokey is stalking Eko before and after Yemi appears. Much like the Smokey manifestation of Alex in front of Ben in S5, we see that the Island is judging Eko to see if he is worthy to live. Obviously, he was not repentant, so he did not make it.loophole815https://www.blogger.com/profile/12962396418335448919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025276501437850375.post-2196765683689931192009-09-14T06:03:40.488-07:002009-09-14T06:03:40.488-07:00My observations on "Further Instructions"...My observations on "Further Instructions"... <br /><br />-The undercover cop at the commune said John was amenable to coercion.

Ben remembers the pretty blonde lady to helped save his life after he'd been shot by Sayid. If I remember correctly, there's a cute little moment between Juliet and Child Ben when she's setting up his blood transfusion.Ashleigh Rajalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949087490789030146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025276501437850375.post-6482051407601489612009-09-11T10:11:57.180-07:002009-09-11T10:11:57.180-07:00Look forward to your recaps for the rewatch!
