Maternity Leave

So much freaky and disturbing new information!  A new hatch – that acts as a creepy medical facility!  A costume worn by Zeke – apparently to convince the castaways that he is an extra from the cast of Deliverance!  Vials of medicine – labeled with the Dharma Initiative logo – that were injected into Claire’s pregnant belly by none other than psycho Ethan dressed as a doctor!  Yikes!

Some quick thoughts – Mr. Eko is confusing but he rocks!  Why is he chopping down trees?  Why didn’t someone – Sayid maybe – go straight out to find Henry’s balloon and his dead wife’s body?  (looks like that will be covered in the next episode, but come on, what are they waiting for?)  Not that the Others wouldn’t be capable of staging that scene to cover for Henry – obviously, they are capable of just about anything, including decorating a nursery on a deserted island.  How creepy was the Oceanic Airlines mobile?  Why did Mr. Eko “confess” to Henry?  And why did Locke apparently let Henry’s obvious manipulation get to him?  (theory: Locke just did that to make Henry think it worked – he knew Henry could hear the dishes being smashed, and let’s face it, Locke is pretty good at a. seeing through people and b. keeping his cool.   Good that we found out what happened to Alex – and Danielle did too – obviously we’ll learn more about her.  I wonder if Zeke (he needs a better name now that we know what he really looks like) kicked her butt when he found out she helped Claire escape.  And, finally, I wonder who the heck the guy is that Zeke told Ethan would be mad.  Who is pulling all the strings here?  Can’t wait to find out more…
