LOST Revisited: 6-7 “Dr. Linus”

In Timeline X, we open on a picture of a boat that looks a heck of a lot like the Black Rock. Benry is helping Alex study, and she’s freaking out – for him it’s just a test, but it’s her entire life. You know, like when Keamy tried to use her to lure Benry out of his house. Benry has the great, ambiguous line “I don’t worry about your future at all”. Alex mentions that Principal Reynolds is a pervert, and Benry immediately assumes a worst case scenario. Fortunately, that’s not the case. She did, however, spot the married principal hooking up with the school nurse “in the room where they give hearing tests”. Hee. Man, that kind of indiscretion nearly ended Principal Skinner’s career. I think you can see where this is going. She also mentions needing a letter of recommendation for Yale, and the only alumni she knows is the old perv.
