In the preview for next week Ben says something along the lines of "how far will a man go for his son?" So I'm assuming that Ben has Walt under some sort of watch, and Michael is doing his bidding so Ben won't hurt Walt (ala Syhid, if you want your friends safe you'll do my bidding).
I think the captain is so straight forward as if they Desmond or Syhid are Ben's people they know anyway. If they're not, what does it matter they have no power or control.
I missed the cell phone thing, and was trying to figure out what Jin was doing off the island if Sun was the 6th person. I assumed he escaped and wasn't one of the media spotlighted people. TV has us conditioned to think of a phone as mearly a prop as times and technology changes so quickly. We really have to remember what was common in 2004 and know that today's phones are the future and pre-2004 are the past. Just something to throw us for a loop I guess.
I liked the episode, wonder what's going on over at Loche's camp with Ben free.
Oh also loved the line about "not only did they have the money and resources to stage a fake plane crash, complete with 324 dead bodies, where'd they get 324 dead bodies? That why we want to find Benjermin Lynis" Loved that line . . . that and "Jin, Sun had an affair with another man" made my eyes open as wide as saucers and my jaw hit the floor for a good five minutes.
