What Kate Did

...was not a whole hell of a lot.  At least not from what I gathered.  Got away from the cops, took alter-Claire to the hospital....  Went after Sawyer...  and uh, well....

Sorry, guys, didn't get a whole lot out of this one.  Maybe its just me.  Here's what I did get, though.

Island Claire
Claire's on the island.  Although its not spooky-attitude Claire from the cabin.  Looks to be a rather Rousseau-esque version of Claire.  Rather deja-vu don't you think?

LA Claire
Kept Aaron from escaping, and uh, met Kate.  Didn't get to give up baby for adoption.  And... sent the cops away, helping Kate out.

Sayid
Alive! Or is he?  So what-in-the-bloody-hell.  "Infected?"  By smokey?  By Jacob? Whose side are these guys on, anyway?!  Why the you-know-what would Jacob send him to the temple to be "cured" if this would happen?  And why would Dougen want him dead?

Dougen
Going to spell it that way.  In Japanese its either the name of a Zen Buddhist monk that lived c. 1200, ??.  Who interestingly enough penned a little book called Shoubougenzou, or "Treasury of the Eye of the True DHARMA."  Yeah, nice.  More on the monk Dougen at Wikipedia.

Or it means "the same origin", ??.  The same as what?  I might be missing something as it could just be a name, but since when is a name just a name around here?

Ethan
Posing as a doctor in LA going by the name of Goodspeed.  Nice bit of juxtaposition given his OTHER involvement with Claire...  Unknown if DHARMA even still exists in this timeline, or if he's got any sort of intentions, etc.

Other than that...  Auto shop guy ring any bells for anyone?  Didn't here.  Hopefully the events of this episode prove to be vital connecting glue later on, or I'm just missing something.  Please correct me brutally in the comments!!
