Sayid comes back to life at the temple

At the temple, Lennon comes and asks Jack to come with them to talk. As Jack struggles with two of the others, Sayid slowly sits up, leaving everyone looking shocked. Sayid asks "What happened?"

And that's the question we'd like an answer to. I'll cover this a bit more in the upcoming posts from the episode "What Kate Does."

Locke/Smokey knocks out Richard, tells everyone he's disappointed in them

At the four-toed statue, Richard and the others see the signal from the temple explode in the air. Richard is clearly very worried and then turns to see Locke/Smokey and Ben emerge from the statue. Locke immediately walks towards Richard, who tells every one "Don't shoot him!"

Locke says to Richard "It's good to see you outta those chains." Richard only replies "You?" and Locke knocks him out and throws him over his shoulder. Locke tells the rest of the people that he's disappointed in them and leaves. This sentiment is also seems directed towards Ben too, who just helped him by killing Jacob.

So what is the Smoke Monster's history with Richard and in what form did he take when it occurred? And what exactly did he expect of the others that led to his disappointment? Did they choose to follow Jacob instead of him?

Jack wants to fix Locke + Oceanic loses Locke's knives

After Jack is presumably talking to him mother on the phone about Christian's coffin being lost, John Locke rolls into the Oceanic office because they lost is case full of knives.

Locke tells Jack that Oceanic didn't lose his father, "they just lost his body." This seems to comfort Jack a little. Locke then tells him about them losing his knifes prompting Jack to ask him if he's "some kind of salesman." Locke replies "Something like that."

As Locke's about to leave, Jack asks him why he's in his wheelchair, and Locke says that surery won't help him because his condition is irreversible. Jack replies "Nothing's irreversible" which causes Locke to give a slightly intrigued look on his face. Jack then gives Locke his card and offers him a free consult.

Locke seems a bit like his, cocky, smoke monster persona. Is it possible in this timeline that Locke is a bit smokey? When he uses the word "irreversible," it seems like when Smokey Locke was talking to Ben and called John Locke "irreparably broken." This scene seems like it could be guide point to this season's story, but we'll have to wait to see how it plays out.

Miles can't get a read on Sayid's body

At the temple, Hurley leans over Sayid's body to tell him that if he ever wants to talk, he's around. Miles, who is sitting on the other side of Sayid's body, looks puzzled. Clearly, he can't get a read on Sayid's body like he normally can with others. This is the point it became clear that Sayid is not dead.

The smoke monster/Locke wants to go home

At the four-toed statue, Locke/smoke monster is moving bodies around the room. I guess he wants it to be a little neater before he leaves.

Ben is staring at him and asks "What are you?" Locke says that he's "a who" not "a what." When Ben says that he's the monster, Locke says "Let's not resort to name calling."

Smokey Locke then tells him that the last thing that John Locke thought as Ben was choking him was "I don't understand." He said that Locke was irreparably broken, but he was admirable because he's the only person who didn't want to leave the island.

Ben then asks Smokey Locke what it is he wants, and Smokey says that he wants to go home. Where exactly is home for the smoke monster? Is/was he human at some point and brought or came to the island? The questions are seemingly endless here.
