It's Dr. Linus to you buddy!

Ben teaching European history. Talking about Napoleon and the loss of power, "He might as well be dead."

Oh look it's Arzt... the last time we saw him he was blown to smithereens by unstable dynamite at the Black Rock.

The "Substitute" Locke tells Ben, "Maybe you should be the 'principal'." If the man in charge doesn't want to listen, maybe it's time for a change. [ a theme of overthrowing the crown ]

Ilana says, "Jacob was the closest thing I ever had to a father."

Wow, in the LAlternaverse Ben's dad is still alive. They did go to the island but left. (but it's now underwater, so what gives?) Ben's dad,"Who knows what you would've become." So creepy.

Alex is a student at Ben's school.

There are six candidates left: Hurley, Jack, Sun, Jin, Richard and Miles?

Richard shows up to meet Jack and Hurley and takes them to the Black Rock.

Miles tells Ben, "Jacob was hoping he was wrong about you."
Ilana makes Ben dig his own grave, while chained to a tree.

Lapidus tells Ben he was supposed to be the captain of 815, "Imagine how different my life would be." Ben, "The island still got you in the end."

Hurley asks Richard about why he seemingly never ages. Richard, "No I am not a cyborg." [ hilarious ] Richard says Jacob, "gave me a gift." and tells Hurley, "whatever he told you, don't believe it." then tells both Hurley and Jack he is "going to die."

Arzt to Ben, "Linus, you're a real killer."

At the Black Rock Richard says that he had been there before, but it's the first time he's been back. [ remember MiBLocke said to him, "it's good to see you out of those chains." ]
Richard explains that the reason he wants to die is because he dedicated his life to serving Jacob, believing he would be rewarded and now that Jacob is dead, his life has no purpose.
But he can't kill himself so he needs Jack to light the fuse on the dynamite.

Jack lights the fuse, putting Hurley is a tizzy, but sits down and says, "now we can talk." [ superpimp move Jack ]
As the fuse burns, Richard gets worried for Jack's safety but Jack tells him what happened at the lighthouse saying, "I know Jacob wanted me to see what was in those mirrors and that he's been following me my whole life, so I don't think I meant to die sitting here with you." Sure enough the fuse burns out before it reaches the stick. Jack, "You want to burn another one?"

MiBLocke shows up and frees Ben from the chains, telling him he's taking his troops to the Hydra island and leaving. Plus he wants Ben to be the new guardian of the island.

Ben and Ilana have a heart to heart about why Ben killed Jacob. Ben says, "No one will have him." Ilana says she will, meaning she will have him on her team to battle MiBLocke's others.

Ben chooses Alex's success over his own.

Miles digs up the diamonds buried with Paolo and the girl.

Sure enough Jack, Hurley and Richard stroll down the beach to join Sun, Ilana, Lapidus, Miles and Ben.

So there is team Jacob.

And team MiB is Locke, Kate, Sawyer, Claire and Sayid.

Somewhere out there is Jin.

And approaching from the water in a submarine is Charles Widmore, who if you believe what he told Locke in Tunisia, would be on team MiB.

So the only ones missing are Desmond, Faraday, Charlotte, Ana Lucia and Mr. Ecko and possibly Juliet.

There is a theme of role reversal for sure both on the island and in the LAlternaverse. And the way Richard was talking about Jacob, it was as if he were a religious man who had dedicated his life to God only to find out that God doesn't exist.
