The Others

  • Tom seems to be questioning Ben's recent leadership, when he points out several setbacks: the sky turning purple, the loss of communication, and Colleen in critical condition.
  • The fact that the Others have not yet used the defibrillator and Juliet has little or no experience with death, might have some connection with the Hanso Foundation's Life Extension Project.
  • Juliet is trying to seduce Jack so that she will become pregnant.
  • Jack's interactions with Juliet at the beginning of the episode show him beginning to play Juliet and Ben against each other, just as Ben played Jack and Locke against each other when he was their captive.
  • Jack is being forced to deal with not being able to save everyone. The Others do this by making him witness Colleen dying on the table, then forcing him to sit with her dead body in the surgery room for a period of time.
  • Sawyer was being forced to deal with his long-standing anger issues by learning ways to calm himself down in the face of conflict. The Others do this by telling him they installed a defunct pacemaker in him that will cause his heart to explode if his heart rate increases to 140.
  • Kate was being forced to deal with her emotional issues, namely, that she never shows any real emotion for anyone and that it appears she only expresses emotion to use people for her own gain. The Others force her to do this by beating up Sawyer in front of her and asking her specifically if she loves him.
  • When Jack is being transfered to the operating room, he is led in by Juliet, an unknown other and one man who appears to be Michael. Michael has not left the island at all but is now working as one of the others.

The intercom

Jack hears a voice over the intercom telling him to "let it go". The voice is that of his father, Christian, whose body may have been brought back to life by the same force as whatever healed Locke and Rose. See main article: the Hydra/Theories#Intercom
