"Lie to them, Jack"

You thought John Locke was going to give it all away.

I know I did.

I waited there during the pregnant pause.

"This isn't an island, Jack," Locke said.

Well then what is it? In my head I said, "It's a hole in the space-time continuum."

No.

"This is a place where miracles happen," Locke said.

Come on, man. That was cruel.

This last segment was largely devoted to Locke trying to tell Jack that he shouldn't leave the island, that he was going to have to hide everything that happened on the island -- from last week's episode we can see him as the leader of the Six's story, reminding everyone that they didn't have to answer any questions they didn't want to.

"Lie to them, Jack," Locke said as he descended to the Orchid. "If you can do it half as well as you lie to yourself, they'll believe you."
