Why do you guys think Ben's "daughter", Alex, gave Locke the gun in the first place? Is it possible that that she knows he is not her father? Or is is just a sick birthday gift to Ben?

Alex has helped out our Losties multiple times, so I assume she was just helping some more. On that island, you really need a weapon!!

Welcome to the boards!! *waves*

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Tessa is right. They have a bad relationship. She doesn't trust her father.

Alex knows how her father is. She did warn Locke about his power of manipulation, so why not warn him again with a weapon!

She probably suspected her dad would possibly kill Locke and gave it to him for protection. Knowing her dad is threatened by Locke's new role in the group.

But isn't this the same gun that Ben shoots Locke with? If you look at that scene where Ben shoots Locke, Locke pulls his knife out in response to being shot.
I am sure I am completely wrong. But I have never trusted Alex. I know, I know she has been shown doing nothing but helping the losties, but I just don't trust her. I think she gave the gun to Locke, but she was really giving it to Ben.

folie, I have to say I sort of agree with you. She seems very duplicitous, I can't tell what her angle is. She's kind of like those people who complain about their husbands/boyfriends etc, but as soon as you utter a word against them they are actually loyal them.

I also thought it was strange she thought Locke would need a gun against Jacob. Remember she says, with great confidence, if your going to see Jacob you'll need this, as if she knows Jacob. But if that is true why would she concluded a gun was needed?

I cant remember does she know that Rousseau is her mother?

I don't think she knows Danielle is her mother, yet.. But i too agree with you Folie, she comes around all too convienently, kind of like her mom, and I don't believe for a second it was coincidence that she gives Locke the gun that eventually puts a hole in his gut.

I third the opinion.. Alex = Bad other
