<\/a>[SPOILER ALERT] I was very tempted to call this blog post the \u201creturn of Adam and Eve.\u201d In tonight\u2019s episode we got to see once again\u00a0the cave, the skeletons, and the coffin from which Christian Shepherd\u2019s body was missing. We are being reminded, presumably because it is important. And Hurley himself raises the possibility that those skeletons could belong to them if they time travel again to the past.<\/p>\n

Jacob tells Hugo that he needs his\u00a0help bringing someone to the island. Hugo has to bring Jack and go through a secret passage in the temple. We could really do with some help with the hieroglyphics.<\/p>\n

<\/a>They eventually find their way to a lighthouse, and go up to shift the mirror to reflect the sun out towards the ocean. As they turn it past 23 degrees (aiming for 108 as per Jacob\u2019s instructions) Jack sees the house he grew up in. Their names are on the large gear that turns the mirror. <\/p>\n

The lighthouse didn\u2019t help ships, but helped draw people\u00a0to the island. And so the big question is who is at 108 degrees?\u00a0My guess is\u00a0the man who pushed a button every 108 minutes. <\/p>\n

There was also a very cool commercial for \u201cV\u201d in which Anna mentioned LOST!<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: On the ABC LOST discussion site, some are claiming that the name at 108 was Wallace and that it was already crossed off. It seems possible that perhaps the only<\/em> aim of the trip to the lighthouse was for Jack to learn how important he is \u2013 and presumably also that he has what it takes.<\/p>\n
