And this episode has a special place in our hearts because it guest-starred Michael “Benry” Emerson. Our favorite Lost villain played Amazing Andy – an insect expert who performed at Max’s birthday party. Andy, like Max, suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome. It was interesting to see Adam and Kristina interact with him, and Emerson did an amazing job as Andy – he was quirky and awkward, but not over the top. And he couldn’t be any more different than the much-missed Ben Linus. It’s a tribute to Emerson’s talent that it never occurred to us that he was secretly planning to kill everybody at the party, Benry-style. It’s also worth noting that Andy drove the sweetest insect-adorned van since Dale Gribble on King of the Hill. Not to mention the smiling stuffed cockroach Andy gives to all his clients to encourage repeat business.
