I'm wondering why Alex (if that really was Alex) helped Claire. She was taken from her mother at a very young age, so she likely has known nothing but Dharma growing up. I would think that would make her more faithful to the Dharma cause. So why would she turn on them? The only reason I can come up with at the moment is that maybe she somehow knows, inherently, that what Dharma is doing is BAD. Dharma has done their best to brainwash her, but still some good remains.

Also, wasn't it an "Alex" that Zeke called on to bring out Kate during that confrontation by torchlight? How do you think a young girl like Alex could have the strength to manage Kate on her own?
