It's Wednesday, which means it's time to start thinking about Thursday's episode, titled "Eggtown."

Here's ABC's preview:

Kate's need to get information out of the hostage may jeopardize her standing with Locke -- as well as with Sawyer.

That's about all the Lostpedian's have posted, too.

So what's going to happen, and what, exactly, is "Eggtown?" Will we find an answer to any of the big questions from last week? Post your thoughts below.

I was two for seven in last week's pre-show predictions -- and that's not bad, considering all of the craziness packed into that one hour of television.

Let's see if I can do any better this week. Here are my best guesses:

- Sawyer is revealed as the fifth member of the Oceanic Six.

- Kate gets medieval on Miles, who is now a prisoner in Locke's camp.

- Daniel Faraday gives us another hint about the characteristics of the island during another experiment.

- Something is going to go terribly awry as Sayid and Desmond fly to the ship.

- Ben is struck five times. (This didn't happen last week, so he's due. I might have to go back through and see exactly how many times he's punched in the face.)

- We will find out who the people on the boat are.

- The show ends with another ominous shot of Ben in a position of power on the mainland.

What are you predictions? Post a comment below.

Just a reminder: I'll be blogging live during commercial breaks.Log in to "Get Lost" just before tonight's show and refresh for my reactions to each segment. Post a comment and get some feedback at the end of the program.

Well, Kate has a son. First thought -- it's not her son, it's Aaron. Second thoughts, it's Ben's son. Remember when he made her eat with him on the beach at the beginning of last season?

These first two segments are also proof that all the money in the world can't always get a great defense attorney. In our flash forward we see Kate facing charges she killed her step father, among other charges.

She'll beat the charges, I'm sure.

We also see an increasingly frustrated Locke (was the blood on his hands really a chicken's? Or was it Ben's?)

Also, if you noticed Daniel Faraday's half-grimace when Jack talked about the people on the boat rescuing the survivors of Flight 815, you'll know where this is heading.

Second reaction -- Kate's son is Aaron. If the, "you should try it sometime," line from Claire isn't a moment of foreshadowing, I don't know what is.

Then again, I'm always wrong.

We also see Jack and Kate's strained post-island relationship and get some idea of the story they've been telling the media -- which is, by the way, all over the tale of the Oceanic Six. If the Six are telling people that eight of them survived the crash, there must be two other people who made it back to the mainland, if only for their funeral rites.

My guess for the next flash forward: Sawyer takes the stand.

... because they're actually bullet proof, if you believe the old commercials. I mean, security is important when you have your apparent nemesis locked up in his own basement.

The questions in this section come almost entirely from Ben and Miles's conversation. Who is Ben and what can he do? Who is the "he" that Miles works for? Why does Miles only need $3.2 million?

We also know that Kate obviously ignores Miles's advice to just stay on the island, but why? What makes her leave the island?

Also, this could be the beginning of the end for Kate and Sawyer. Kate's relationship with Sawyer and Jack has always been a big element of the show, but now it's actually driving the plot forward. Just where does Sawyer's loyalty lie right now?

Any thoughts? Post a comment.

You knew it wasn't going to be as easy as getting in a helicopter and flying to the boat off shore. The helicopter is missing -- maybe, just maybe we'll get an explanation this episode. Who knows, it might be fine and just stuck in some wrinkle in existence.

Other interesting parts of this segment:

- Kate's confrontation with her mother. Kate looks like the bad guy here. This episode won't end without finding out about her son, though.

- The son may be Sawyer's, after all.

- Daniel Faraday's memory is somehow impaired. When we were first introduced to him we see his caretaker, and we see just how bad it is with the card game. Is this the effects of an experiment gone wrong?

Maybe the others were right all along: Kate isn't a good person.

Through the entire episode she gets progressively worse, even to the point of being creepy. She betrays Locke, uses Hurley, and apparently uses Sawyer, too. Then we see her in court, refusing to talk to her mother and telling her that she doesn't want her son to meet her.

Then she kind of gives a worn-down-looking Jack the cold shoulder.

Oh, and don't forget she stole a baby.

All this while we find out the Oceanic Six's story is that Kate saved them all, that she was the big hero.

This episode didn't have a big plot push or a lot of unanswered questions, instead it sets us up for what comes next. We change our opinion of Kate now so that we have some idea -- or at least think we have some idea -- what she'll do as the conflict with the people on the boat heats up.

My gut reaction is her next move isn't a noble one.

What's your gut reaction to this episode? Post a comment.

A few days and a few conversations after my gut reaction, I may have a different feeling about Kate's role in the show.

I think that it is possibly that she took the baby from Clair because Clair asked her to take him -- but the question remains why Kate continues to refer to Aaron as her son.

The story the Oceanic Six tell when they return to the mainland -- the one where there are eight survivors and Kate plays an island-bound Florence Nightingale -- includes Clair surviving the crash and giving birth. Then, in the story, she dies. In reality, she is hiding at the same "temple" Ben told Richard to lead the "Others" to.

Clair had to be one survivor who didn't make it back because I think most of the public would know that Kate wasn't pregnant when she got on the plane -- that has to be in her arrest record. So Clair had to, in the story, survive the plane crash and give birth before she is killed, either in the story or in reality.

Aaron has to count as one of the Oceanic Six.

But who do you think the other non-Oceanic Six survivor is? Post a comment.

Be sure to read over the insanely-detailed contributions of the Lospedians in their group-edited entry about "Eggtown" here.

If you ever doubt the devotion of the Lostpedians, well, just read this:

The flash forward takes place between November 3, 2006, and November 1, 2007, because Aaron was born on November 2, 2004. The credits credit him as a 2-year-old boy. It can also be assumed it took place before Jack goes crazy and grows a beard, so really between November 4, 2006, and about March 2007, taking into consideration the time it took Jack to grow the beard.

Wow.
