A Departing Thought
In another flash forward, a boozing, pill popping Jack is at a funeral parlor where a man named Jeremy Bentham has been laid to rest. Ben shows up and Jack tells him that Bentham told him that he had to go back to the island before he died. Ben says he's right, but he can't go alone. They all have to go back, even the guy in the coffin. We finally get a look at just who it is they're talking about. The man in the coffin looks an awful lot like John Locke.
