Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Flashback

The glass ballerina incident shows that Sun is willing to see others get hurt in order to protect herself.
Sun knows that Mr. Paik was behind Jae's death, and may suspect her husband was directly involved. She has deduced it from seeing blood on Jin's hands, as in previous flashbacks, or Jin may have told her. This provoked her to try to escape her husband in "House of the Rising Sun".
Her conversation with her father at the funeral implies that she knows the real circumstances of Jae Lee's death.

Ben's statement to Juliet that "You never made soup for me," implies that either Ben and Juliet had once been in a relationship, or that Ben was once Juliet's prisoner.

For theories on Ben not related to this episode, see Benjamin Linus/Theories.

Sun shot Colleen accidentally, because she was startled by the sound of the engine.
Sun shot Colleen intentionally, because Colleen was coming toward her.

Kate and Sawyer are meant to be guinea pigs in medical experiments.
- Kate was brought to Hydra Island in order to choose a mate (either Jack, or Sawyer) and conceive. Due to the fact that, according to Juliet, mothers who conceive off the Island (The Main Island) survive the delivery of their child.

The Others learned from the outside world that Sawyer and Kate should have been in prison, had they not crashed. Imprisoning them on the Island therefore seems appropriate, if not fair. The Others may be putting all of their captive into their real-world roles: Jack as the Others' surgeon, the children in school (Walt said they made him take tests), and the criminals behind bars.

TV #4 displays static. This TV may have previously been used to surveil events in the Swan, and gather information about the survivors. Sawyer, Jack, Kate and Hurley were all in the Swan at some point, which would allow identification based on photos that were gathered by the Other's presumed outside contacts.
The Hanso Foundation gathered information about the survivors through many different channels. For example, James Ford's picture and information was taken from the Australian police.
