LOST Revisited: Pre-Game for “Dr. Linus”

It’s worth noting that Sawyer doesn’t know that Look-a-Locke and Smokey are one and the same. He knows that this guy is something out of the ordinary, but there isn’t any reason for him to even believe that Smokey can take human form. Other than Benry, everybody who’s ever seen him pull that trick is dead. Since Sawyer and Jin aren’t Infected, it’s safe to assume they’d have some problems with throwing in with the Monster. Both of them have seen Smokey viciously attack people, and they are terrified of that thing. He seemingly can’t hurt a Candidate, and he wouldn’t want them to know his true nature, so he must have sequestered them.
