It's strange to see Ben showing any kind of positive emotion. Somehow, despite everything we know about him, he comes off as kind of pathetic in his attempts to woo Juliet. This episode has made him a slightly more sympathetic character.

At the same time, he's setting up Goodwin to die. That really isn't making him soft and cuddly.

Juliet is also about to get into trouble in the present.

If there's one thing I've learned from this show, it's that if you are looking for two people, you can't point a gun at one of them and not expect the other to come out of nowhere with another pistol.
