First off, what a great episode! It was good to see old faces again like Alpert and Abaddon. Second only to Desmond, I'd say these two individuals have the most mysterious storyline right now!
This past episode, Cabin Fever, gave us a lot of insight to the Destiny of being the chosen one. We know now, thanks to Ben, that "destiny is a fickle bitch." Words to live by, no doubt. But we know that is true when it comes to the island's demands of an individual. This episode gave us a whole new spin on Ben's role on the island. Looking back, I really believe Ben didn't want to instigate the purge of DHARMA, but was forced into that situation due to his role as "chosen one." Like Ben, I'm certain Locke will be asked to do something that will be very questionable. I have no doubt this will tie the link between Locke and Ben even closer. Already we've seen Locke manipulate Hurley into situations - this is only going to go deeper! Before you know it, Locke's actions will be as predictable (or unpredictable) as Ben's. Even though we've all wanted to witness Locke finding his way - this is going to lead to not-so-happy ending for John.

Do you think Alpert and Abaddon may be both original island dwellers, not ageing, but used by Jacob to protect the island? Which brings up a question about Alpert: Why would Jacob need a “chosen one” if he has a person like Alpert to do his work? Mysterious individuals indeed!
Remember Jacob's "list"? Do you think Locke will be asked to wipe out individuals that are not on this list at some point. Whatever the task, I totally agree this will most likely be a major turning point in the life of John Locke, and I have a hard time seeing a fairy tale ending in this case as well!
Will there be any happy endings for the Losties?!
