I thought of Claire's baby too when she said that. AND only 8 surviving..I think they are protecting the island that the rest that stayed there...maybe??
AND did you see where Ben and Sa'id worked together (in one of those "past" scene's)?? AND what happened to the helicopter? Did Sa'id purposely do something...is he still working w/ Ben?? I HAVE NO CLUE!
I NEED SPOILERS!!! Feel free to PM me!
