The most recent photo she has (which she shows to Kate) is when Ji Yeon is a newborn (and from what I know about new parents, they have eleventy-billion pictures of their kid).

How can MysteryMan be "Locke" and Christian Shepherd at the same time? He is showing Frank and Sun around the old Dharma house, while NotLocke is on the other island with the rest of the 316 passengers.
