...still makes no sense.

He needed a spinal surgeon to save him...so as he tells Juliet in the Pearl, he has concocted a plan to lure Michael to come for Walt...

Then as we saw, he would arrange a swap...Walt for his surgeon and friends...fair enuff. So, they communicate by computer, posing as Walt and off goes Michael, and all seems to be going according to the plan...soon he will see his Walt, they will exploit his fatherly instincts, and they will give him a list, and his much needed surgeon will come running.

SO WHY DID BEN THEN GO AND GET HIMSELF CAUGHT, AFTER THEY ALREADY TOOK MICHAEL INTO CUSTODY???

I'd say these writers got themselves painted into a corner, when they decided that 'Henry' was gonna be 'Ben'...
