*does Locke have a bandaged hand and a black eye?
The others beat him after blowing the sub up. Or better yet Jack smacked him around. When Ben and Richard took Locke to see his dad he was holding his arm/hand funny and he had a black eye.
*did the Others all put on gas masks outside if they were moving out right then and if only one person was tossing a gas can into Kate's room?
Sayid was tied up outside so they gassed him too. And supposably gassed Jack and Juliet too.
*were Juliet and Kate drug clear out into the jungle (at risk of running into Smokey) but Sayid and Jack were left at the Barracks?
Dunno.... just another crazy other mind game.
*were Jack and Kate groggy when they awoke from the gas attack, yet Juliet popped right awake?
Juliet is a super hero with ninja skills....
*was Jack knocked out for so much longer than Juliet and Kate?
No idea........
*did Juliet know the locations of Jack and Sayid at the village without searching around?
That is where they were before the gas attack, just assumed they would still be there. Or Juliet is part of a con and she knew.
*What is scattered all over the floor in front of Jack when he comes to with Kate? (and WHY was the house so messed up and the front door open?)
More other mind games. Reminded me of the way the Staff station looked when Kate, Claire, and Danielle investigated it.
