LOST Revisited 6-9 “Ab Aeterno”

We’re not going to find out this week, because Richard never gets the chance to get stabby. Once Jacob spots him, he beats Richard silly. And yeah, for a minute that lent credence to the claim that he stole that body – you don’t really think of Jacob being a guy who’d kick somebody’s teeth in like that. After disarming him, Jacob proves to Richard that he isn’t dead by holding him underwater. Sort of like a baptism, really. But, you know, an angry baptism. Finally, Richard calls out that he wants to live.
