Episode 216 - Secret Clue

This week's episode, The Whole Truth, saw a lot of the story moving forward as well as giving us some fantastic small clues about what might being happening on this crazy island. Sun is pregnant, but we were left with the question of who the father is - did she sleep with former flame Jae Lee, or could Jin have been healed by the same forces that have healed Locke's legs?

Did you notice the cereal that Locke passed Henry? Instead of featuring a known image, the box was plain white with a Dharma logo and the serial code D1 9FFTR731. If you've read last episode's secret clue, you'll know that barcodes are important. Well, all the food items in the hatch are marked with the exact same code - except for the Apollo Bars, those delicious chocolates that tempted Hurley into hoarding. In fact, it seems that the only times we come across a brand name, it means something a lot more than what we first think.

Kate asked the right question - "Who flies with a pregnancy test?" Watch this week's clue and you'll notice the name WIDMORE LABS on the pregnancy test Sun holds. Once again, a name casually thrown out has deeper meaning. We've seen a WIDMORE CONSTRUCTIONS banner before, on the Pink Floyd building in Charlie's flashback, so they're obviously important. I'm going to have to send you to The LOST Ninja for deeper answers on the entire WIDMORE INDUSTRIES, as more has been revealed online. He knows a lot more about Widmore - both of them, in fact.

The question is who is behind all of this? We're learning more about the Dharma Initiative each week and we've also heard of Alvar Hanso, their benefactor. He just so happens to be the head of The Hanso Foundation, a group supposedly "building towards a better tomorrow" through all sorts of experiments. The Ninja has been working with other truth seekers in the US and UK, all massive fans of LOST, and working with the hacker Persephone, they're finding out more about this mysterious man's foundation all the time.

In case you were wondering what Jin was hearing when Bernard and Sawyer were discussing his newfound fatherhood, their speech was reversed - Sawyer was refusing to tell him, as he wanted to "Let Sun-shine tell him!" He was also reading Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, a book that's ridiculous for him to be reading. It's about a young girl buying her first bra, liking boys and other un-Sawyer-ly material.

And finally, Henry Gale tried to help with clearing his name by drawing a map to where his hot air balloon crashed for Ana-Lucia. Now, he's a creepy enough guy when he's just sitting still, but that final speech with Locke and Jack, about leading their friend's into a trap, is all the more creepy when you realise - Sayid carried his unconscious body all the way from Rousseau's trap, far from the hatch...
