Locke visits Walt in New York, Ben watches from a distance

Next John Locke goes to New York City to see Walt Lloyd. Before Locke talk to Walt, he has a conversation with Matthew Abbadon where he asks him to track down his old girlfriend Helen Norwood. The bell rings at the Fieldcroft School that they are watching and Walt is among the students leaving for the day. As Locke and Abbadon sit across the street watching Walt, Abbadon says "So that's Michael Dawson's son. Boy's gotten big."

Walt looks across the street and sees Locke sitting there. Walk walks over to Locke and Locke notes that he doesn't seem surprised to see him. Walt then tells him that he's been having dreams about Locke. He says "You were on the island wearing a suit and there were people all around you. They wanted to hurt you John." Locke shrugs it off saying that they're just dreams, but Walt seems to understand his own "ability" and knows it means more. Walt asks about his dad and Locke says last I heard your dad was on a freighter near the island, even though he most likely knows that Michael is dead. When Walt asks Locke why he came to see him, Locke just says "I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Walt then leaves without Locke asking him to go back to the island. Abbadon asks him about it and Locke says "Boy's been through enough." Abbadon heckles him saying he's "0 for 2." Locke says that he only needs to convince one person to come back and if he does, they all will.

We then see the point of view of someone watching Locke and Abbadon. It is revealed to be a very dapper looking Ben Linus.

Has Matthew Abbadon seen or met Walt before seeing as he mentions how big Walt has gotten? It's good to see Locke legitimately happy and smiling which he does when he sees and talks to Walt. It shows the stark difference between him and Ben that he chooses not to ask Walt to come back to the island.

Also, what is up with Walt's dreams? Are these premonitions of things to come? Will Caeasar, Ilana and the other Ajira 316 survivors deem Locke a threat or an enemy?

Something else that stands out is that when Walt visits Hurley at Santa Rosa in "There's No Place Like Home," he refers to him as Jeremy Bentham even though Locke never tells Walt during the New York conversation that he is using that name. How did Walt know that he was using that name? Could it relate to the dreams he's been having?

Walt visits Hurley at Santa Rosa

Walt's grandmother/Michael's mother brings Walt (who has done some serious growing) to visit Hurley at Santa Rosa. When they arrive, Hurley is opening a Molly Fisher Fruit Roll-Up (it's a little random). Walt's grandmother wants Hurley to assure her that he won't do anything crazy if she lets Walt talk to him. Walt and Hurley have a conversation about why no one visited him after the Oceanic 6 returned. Walt also tells Hurley that Jeremy Bentham came to visit him. Walt wants to know why everyone is lying about what happened and Hurley tells him it's to keep those who were left behind safe, like his dad (Michael). Hurley doesn't seem to know that Michael died.

Also, in the second screen, there are letters on the wall. Some have wondered if it's an anagram. The Letters are Y M O H K E U T 7. It appears that there are at least two more letters on the wall that are obstructed by people. Care to come up with a possible answer? Leave a comment at let me know what you think.

Walt in the window and Michael's mom

Here we see young Walt in the window at Michael's mother's house. We also see Michael's mother for the first time.

Michael's apartment + photo of him and Walt

Here's Michael's apartment in New York after he leaves the island. It's a bit of a wreck, but as we saw in the episode, life isn't going too well for him. Also, I've included the picture of Michael and Walt that we see a number of times throughout the episode. Walt's still a baby in the picture.

"Walt" returns to help Locke

Here are screens from the scene of Locke in the mass grave about to commit suicide. Walt appears before he pulls the trigger to inform him that he still has work to do. What work? Putting a knife in Naomi's back? We'll have to wait and see.
