Ben in London - lobby + elevator

Here's Ben arriving at Charles Widmore's building in London in a taxi. He walk through the a very grand lobby, past the doorman who he was prepared to use his club on if he had to. He picks the lock in the elevator to access the Penthouse level.

The smoke monster attacks Keamy's team

We got to see more of the smoke monster than we've seen before in "The Shape of Things To Come." Ben somehow summoned it to defend the barracks and we see it roll in like a freight train and swirl through the trees. Keamy's team can be seen/heard defending themselves, but their guns are useless. One guy gets dragged off by the monster, much like it attempted to do to Locke in the first season. I wonder if he ended up down a hole? What exactly did the monster do to Keamy's team? Also, did Ben just summon the monster or give it some kind of orders as well?

Sayid kills Bakir, Ben smirks

Ishmael Bakir corners Ben in an alley, then Sayid shoots him many, many times. Sayid then asks who's next. He's now out for revenge for Nadia's death. It would seem from Ben's smirk as he walks away, that Sayid's commitment to the cause was his plan all along.

Keamy kills Alex, Ben is stunned

Keamy threatens to kill Alex and Ben calls his bluff. The problem is, Keamy wasn't bluffing. Alex's death is the most cold blooded death we've seen so far on the show. Ben's response is "he changed the rules." What are the rules and why are they in place? Also, why did he (Charles Widmore) change the rules?

Nadia's funeral procession, Ishmael Bakir, Ben's press vehicle, Bakir traffic photo

Ben shows up in Tikrit, Iraq where Sayid is taking part in Nadia's funeral procession. We see a man carrying a picture of her as well as a casket with Arabic writing, presumably her name.

Ben arrives in a SUV with "PRESS" on it's windows. How exactly does he procure a press vehicle in a country with a war going on? He immediately goes to the roof of a building to shoot photos of Ishmael Bakir, an associate of Charles Widmore who may have been responsible for Nadia's death. Ben shows Sayid a picture of Bakir taken with a traffic camera in Los Angeles. Ben says he was speeding away from the scene of Nadia's death.

Ben in Tozeur, Tunisia + hotel clerk

Here's Ben in Tozeur, Tunisia. We he arrives at the hotel, he checks in under the name Dean Moriarty with the passport Sayid finds in "The Economist." He tells the clerk, Narjiss, that he's a "preferred guest" and then asks what day it is. It's October 24, 2005. Does Ben's means of travel also include time travel?

Keamy's team attacks the barracks - Claire survives

Here we see Keamy's team at the tree line attacking the barracks. First, they're just using guns, but then we see one of the guys use a rocket/missile launcher on Claire's house. Amazingly, she ends up being not only alive, but hardly hurt at all. Sadly though, in a state of shock, she calls for Charlie when Sawyer finds her.

3 background/redshirt losties killed

Keamy's team kills three background losties, sometimes known as redshirts, at the barracks including Doug (first picture) and Jerome (third picture). They are all shot in front of Sawyer while he is looking for Claire.

Ben makes friends in the Sahara

Here's the two armed horsemen that find Ben in the Sahara Desert. One quickly meets Ben's weapon of choice, the club then he shoots the other. The clubbed horseman is then knocked out with the butt of the gun.

Ben lands/arrives/appears in the Sahara Desert

Ben arrives in the Sahara Desert wearing a Dharma parka, known as a Dharka. The Dharka is complete with a new Dharma logo, most likely for the Orchid station. Also, the name Halliwax is on Dharka as well. In the Orchid orientation video footage, Dr. Marvin Candle uses the name Edgar Halliwax.
