S3: The Cost of Living

Mr. Eko and the Smoke Monster duke it out in this episode.  Unfortunately, for Mr. Eko, the Smoke Monster wins.

A recovering Eko who was attacked by a bear has visions of his brother and heads to the plane where his body was buried/burned.  Locke, who had a plan to use the computer at The Pearl in an attempt to contact another Dharma station, turned out to be heading to the same location as Mr. Eko.

Eventually all converge on the same location.  Locke, Sayid, Desmond, Nikki and Paulo contact a station where a man with an eye patch shuts off the camera, while above Mr. Eko meets his demise.  I don't know if the Smoke Monster is testing him to see how easily he can be manipulated, but Mr. Eko does not apologize or ask for forgiveness and suffers the consequences almost if the Smoke Monster was the final judge and jury.  It was sad to see him go and it just felt too soon.  Mr. Eko's final words to Locke:  "You're next."

On the other side of the island, nothing much is happening that I can recall.  Ben asks Jack to the do the surgery and Juliet reveals her intentions that she wants Jack to not fix Ben and have something go wrong in the surgery.  So there are a lot of story-lines being set up that will hopefully lead to some exciting conclusion.
