So Micheal shot himself...And for those who are confuse to whether or not he died then the answer is NO. Look at the previews for the next episode, it shows Michael in a splint.

So if you use your storyline puzzle skills you will assume that Michael shot himself in the arm.

I know most of you know that, so to make sure this thread is not a complete waste...What was your first thought when Michael shot himself.

I thought he was going to make it look like Henry shot him so Jack et al wouldn't know he shot AL and Libby.
Then the more I thought about it (and someone posted the idea) I thought
maybe it went beyond covering his tracks - he let Henry go on purpose.
I assumed he was going to kill Henry at first, not for revenge but on the orders of the Head Honcho.

I thought he killed himself at first. So who is he going to blame for the shooting???

and maybe then he would have gotten Walt back....hmmmm

But why would he kill Ana after even telling her that he was going to kill "Henry".

yeah i seriously bet it was premeditate. probably a bribe if henry was let go, walt would be "let go."

Oh that's good. I was just thinking maybe they had just managed to brainwash him into believing their cause was just. But the switching Walt
thing makes sense. They know the camp will trust Michael.

I like that theory... Michael is REALLY selfish when it comes to Walt, he'd do anything. Changes how the finally might turn out though... I really think he's been duped - they'll NEVER give him Walt!

he made it look like AL shot Henry, and he tried to stop her. Remember when Locke said "theres something I need to tell you" to Jack? They will find the scene in the hatch and Michael will be off the hook, and Henry Gale will be on the loose because Michael set him free...
