Ok, first of all...PLEASE TELL ME PENNY IS OK! When Ben said that he had a loose end to tie up, I had an incredibly bad feeling. Then he calls Jack from a payphone by the water all bloodied - not a good sign! We know that Ben vowed to kill Penny because Charles Widmore's men killed Alex. I really really really hope I'm way off base here, or that Desmond beat the crap out of Ben and he and Penny boated away safely.
So now Ben does actually get to go back to the island? I thought the person who moves the island doesn't get to go back? I can understand the exception for Locke because he is dead, but Ben? Maybe it's because he wasn't supposed to move the island in the first place? Or maybe he was just lying to Locke because he wanted the honor of moving the island.
What in the world did Sayid get arrested for? Did they figure out he was responsible for killing all the guys that they thought Hurley killed?
What happened to Aaron? We know that Claire told Kate not to bring Aaron back to the island last season. Did she leave him with Claire's mother, since we know she's in LA? And why did Sun leave her daughter behind?
I LOVED that Frank was the pilot - I was actually sad because I didn't think we'd be seeing him again. Hopefully he survived the "crash" and we'll be seeing him again soon. The other two new cast members (the air marshal and the guy who spoke to Jack in line at the airport) should be interesting as well.
Overall, I thought this episode was really great. The opening scene blew my mind! I'm so glad that they're back on the island, I thought the writers were going to drag this whole thing out much longer. As for the preview for next week, I can't really say I'm absolutely captivated by the whole Locke thing, though I'm hoping there will be plenty of scenes from the island. The reunion with Jin was awesome and I'm hoping we'll get to see more reunions next week!

Oh no - I never even thought about Ben going after Penny! I almost forgot he swore he'd kill her. I bet there will be people lining up to take credit for beating Ben! Great recap!
I think Widmore's goons probably beat up Ben. I think Widmore lied to Desmond when he said he didn't know where Penny was- it wouldn't be like Widmore to lose track of his daughter, especially when he knows Ben wants to kill her. Great post. 316 was a terrific episode.
Like you I was thrilled to see them back on the island - I really thought we'd get to the end of this season and still have them trying to get there.
I'm definitely feeling a little dense now because the whole Ben killing Penny thing totally slipped my mind...but it would make a lot of sense. Ugh! This episode made my brain hurt, and I loved it. Can't wait for next week.
I'm so hoping Penny isn't dead, but I agree that it does seem likely. Hopefully, Bed didn't succeed in tying up his "loose end". It also annoyed me that Sun just left her daughter without even a word. I was so happy to see them back on the island. I posted my recap too...
