S4: The Economist

The linear story line on the island continues as Sayid makes a power play to get on the freighter.  He promises to get Charlotte back, which he does, but he trades Miles for her.  The episode ends with Lapidus taking him, Desmond and the late Naomi to the freighter.

Off island we get another flash forward and learn that Sayid is a member of the Oceanic 6 and that he's working for Ben to protect his friends.

Overall, I remember this episode being huge back when I first watched it because it was fun seeing a bad ass Sayid.  It was fun again but knowing the surprises wasn't fun so the episode fell a little flat for me this time.  I did enjoy the scene as Sayid watched Elsa die.  A part of him fell for her while he used her...poor Sayid continues to be love less in his life while trying to pay for his sins.

Oh and who's the Economist?  It's whomever Elsa works for when that person is in Berlin.  Could it be Mr. Widmore?
