Ana Lucia wasn't one of my favorite characters at all and can't say I felt bad about her death. But I think her flashback story allowed plenty of insight on her psychology- she was a cop, ridden with the guilt that she failed twice (couldn't avoid the murder of her partner & her revenge plot lead to loss of job..lots of disillusionment). Consequently, she was extremely anxious about losing control again on the island where she felt the well-being of tallies depended on her. So she seemed despotic and most aggressive but not because she was some monster.

Judged by the island...
In my theory the island performs judgement after a triall period witch everyone on the island undergoes. Exept for the people on Ben’s initial list, because these individuals were “good guys” to begin with.
When the phrase comes up that someone “still has work to do” it means that that individual’s trial is not over yet and is therefore not supposed to die yet. ( Jack after falling form the airplane, John’s remarkable fast recovery after a near fatal gun shot, Michael not being able to commit suicide)
My theory popped up after the episode were ekko gets killed by Cerberus. Just before that he latterly is judged by the island who took the form as his brother. The Island gives him the chance to show that he has remorse for his passed crimes. Ekko denies that he has committed any crimes. After that his “brother” reveals to Ekko that he is not his brother and cant be persuaded by the arguments his brother might have felt for.
Judgement: “bad guy” . Trial period over and Cerberus takes him away, contrary to what we have seen before: ceberus looking Ekko in the eye when his trial was not over yet.
Any thoughts on this?
