I think it is time for Locke to face his faults. He is gulible, overly sensitive, and easy to distract. He has many positive traits, but being a leader is not one of them.
He should go back to Jack and say, "Jack, I am with you. Tell me what you think I could do that would be the best help for everyone else."

Locke has got to get to that point in life where he understands the famous words of the famous Harry Callahan, "A man has to know his limitations."

This works well in real life also. How many of us would be better people if we stopped trying to always, "Be the smartest person in the room?"
