Make sure to have some Kleenex handy in case you develop a nose bleed while reading the latest batch of made up insanely clever theories Stephen and I have cooked up have for the latest episode of "Lost," airing later tonight on ABC.
1. Katie And Sayid’s Desertion Will Have Terrible Consequences: Benjamin Linus was told that failing to gather all of the former Island visitors for whatever Ms. Hawking has planned would have dire implications. As we learned last episode, Ben was unable to complete this task; he only has a handful of the those he was after, but the ritual appears to be moving forward, regardless. What will be the consequences for Kate, Sayid and Hurley for running from their destiny?
2. Christian Shepard Is Not Who (What?) He Seems: "Lost" is doing a great job leading us to believe Jack’s father is a influential presence on the Island, but is really him? His line near the end of the episode “say hello to my son,” suggests so, but while we’re caught up in the sci-fi twists, what does this mean for all the backstory established when the show first started? What was Christian Stephard (Jacob?) doing off the Island? I just gave myself a nose bleed.
3. Sun Is Nice: I think we misread Sun. She seemed somewhat malevolent earlier in the season when she seemed to be seething during her conversation with Kate. But the anger last week that she harbored seemed only to be for Ben. So she's back to being a good guy as far as we're concerned.
4. Claire Is Coming Back: If Jack and his dad and his nephew are all key figures this season, then so must be his sister. We need her back. But when? How about this week? How? No clue.

Got any theories we missed?
