Jack and Kate follow Dan Norton, approach Carole LIttleton

Kate and Jack follow Dan Norton to a motel where he goes up to a room to meet Carole Littleton. Kate and Jack both fear that Carole is the one trying to take Aaron, but when Jack goes to talk Carole, he finds out she's just there to settle a lawsuit with Oceanic Airlines. As Carole's sitting on the bed before Jack knocks on the door, she's looking at a photo of Claire.

It's not a coincidence that Dan Norton happens to be Carole's lawyer? Was Ben involved in Dan Norton having Carole's case?
