Complete Episode Guide: The Economist Guide
The Economist Clues
- The cabin was not where it should be. Ben has already said that Jacob summons you, and only certain people can see him.
- The contents of the secret room, clothing, passports, a suitcase, all point to the fact that Ben has been off the island several times.
- Elsa was wearing a bracelet like Naomi's.
- It took the rocket an extra half hour to reach them, and the clock had a different time than the time on the island.
- Daniel tells Frank to follow the exact same bearings that they came in on.

- Why was the time different on the clock from the rocket, and why did it take the rocket so long to get there? Time travel?
