In this episode of Lost, Ben has to confront the beast a.k.a. the smoke monster and ultimately ask for forgiveness. One of the things that he has to be forgive for is letting his daughter, Alex, die. Alex was taken from her mother about 20 years prior to the present time. Ben raised her as his own and when it came time for him to leave the island. He let the army guys, Charles Widmore sent, kill his daughter in front of him.
The flashbacks throughout the episode all center around Ben and his daughter. I thought that it was really neat how they incorporated the flashbacks into his asking for forgiveness. Even though, Ben is an awful man, the viewer can see in his eyes that he feels bad for what he did. Ben really loved his daughter.
I feel that the writers did a good thing, letting Ben ask for forgiveness. Now, Ben is forced to stay and help Locke. If he doesn't, the consequences will be deadly.
I don't really have any predictions for the next episode, but I have a feeling that Sun will be reunited with her husband, Jin, soon.
Since there isn't a lot happening in LOST... next week I'm thinking of talking about the show WEEDS.
