John Locke's dead body is in the crate, Richard reveals 'What lies in the shadow of the statue'

At the remains of the four-toed statue, Richard offers Sun some water and she asks him if he has any alcohol. Richard says "No, but I sure wish I did."

At that moment, Ilana, Bram, Frank and the others come walking towards the statue with the crate. The others all pull weapons on them and Ilana tells them it's okay and puts her gun down. Ilana then asks "Which one of you is Ricardos?" Richard steps forward and says "It's Richard actually."

Ilana asks him the big question, "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" Richard answers in Latin "Ille qui nos omnes servabit" which translates to "He who will protect/save us all." Ilana and Bram look incredibly happy to hear the right answer.

Ilana tells Richard she has something he needs to see and tells her people to open up the crate. The others steady their guns again, but Richcard tells them it's okay. The crate is flipped over and it is revealed that the body of John Locke is inside. Richard asks where they found him and Ilana says that Locke was in the cargo hold of the plane in a coffin.

Sun then asks the million dollar question. She says "I don't understand. If this is Locke... who's in there?" Ilana and Richard both looked very, very panicked.

So in this scene we come to learn why Locke has not seemed very Locke-like since his faux ressurection? The question is, who is using Locke's form? There is also still a big question mark over Ilana. Who is she and how does she know Richard as Ricardos?

It's worth noting that this is the second season finale in a row where Locke's dead boby has been revealed inside a box. I don't think we'll be seeing it in the series finale though.

Ilana leads Bram, Frank, the rest to Jacob's cabin, the ash is broken

Back with Ilana's group, Bram and the others are still carrying the Ajira cargo crate through the jungle. Frank tells Bram that he wishes that they hadn't show him what was in the box and then asks what they're going to do with it. Bram says that they need to show it to somebody so they'll know who they're up against. Frank asks what they're up against and Bram says "Something a hell of a lot scarier than what's in this box Frank." Bram tells Frank that as long as he's with them, he'll be fine. Frank says that would be reassuring if he knew who they were leaving Bram to say a familiar line "We're the good guys." Frank says that the people who go out of their way to say they're the good guys are usually the bad guys.

Ilana stops and tells the rest of the group "We're here." They have stopped at Jacob's cabin. They examine the circle of ash surrounding it and Bram points out that the circle has been broken. Ilana looks worried and tells the rest of the group to wait there as she heads towards the cabin.

So who broke the ash at the cabin? Was it Jacob's enemy who is posing as Locke? That might explain where he went while Ben and Sun waited at the barracks.

Ilana shows Frank what's inside the box, is Frank a candidate for something?

Ilana, Bram and the other mysterious Ajira folk make their way to the shore on the canoe with the large crate still in tow. Frank is still appears to be knocked out from the rifle to the head, though he's just pretending to be.

Bram asks Ilana why they bothered to bring Frank and Ilana says that they might need him. Bram says that he didn't even know the answer to the question and Ilana tells him that it doesn't mean that he's not important. Bram asks is she thinks Frank's "a candidate." Ilana then points out that Frank is awake. Bram asks how long he's been listening to them and Frank says "Long enough to wonder what the hell I'm a candidate for." Frank then asks "Who the hell are you people?" She says that they are "friends" and only knock the people out that they like.

Bram and the other guys lift the crate from the canoe promting Frank to ask what's in it. Bram says it's Ilana's call whether they show Frank what's inside and she decides to show him. Frank looks insdie the crate and says "Terrific."

So if it wasn't clear before, it's clear now that Ilana is 100% in charge of this group. The big question is, what is Frank possibly a candidate for? Does Ilana sense something about Frank that made her decide to bring him along? Very odd.
