Thankfully the Temple is not shown but only talked about in this episode. There is some great stuff that happens in this episode and a huge question is answered - why is everyone on the island.
The answer - Jacob brought them there. They are a candidate to take over protecting the island. Protecting it from who? From what? More answers will come.
This episode treats us to flash sideways Locke who is going to marry Helen, loses his job, but gets a better one, and it's mentioned that his father will be coming to the wedding. More importantly, he's happy, not miserable, and he doesn't need to walk, nor does Helen need him to walk, to be happy. He's pretty much the exact opposite of the Locke we knew in the flashbacks.
On island, Locke/MIB reveals to Sawyer about the candidates and that he has three choices - do nothing and see what happens, become the protector, or leave the island. He chooses three which seems to make Locke/MIB happy.
Everybody is happy! I'm happy because this was a great episode. It was cool seeing Hurley and Rose again just for a moment to help put Locke on his path. Also Ben being a school teacher where Locke is substituting was a very nice touch.
