Complete Episode Guide: The Man Behind the Curtain Guide
The Man Behind the Curtain Theories
- Locke manipulated Ben into taking him to see Jacob by announcing to the camp that Ben was going to do so.
- Ben gave his father one last chance to redeem himself, but Roger didn't rise to the challenge, so Ben gassed him.
- We'll see the wooden Ben doll again.
Observations from The Man Behind the Curtain
- In the beginning, at least, it seems Roger really wanted the baby. He told Emily to hold him tight. Then, after Emily died, Roger had resentment towards Ben.
- Neither Locke nor Ben was raised by his mother and both of their mothers were named Emily.
- The person that checked Roger in to the Dharma Initiative was a nurse.
- Ben has daddy issues, just like so many of the crash survivors.
- Marvin Candle appears to only have use of one arm in this video as well as some of the other videos we've seen.
- The rabbit Ben used to con Sawyer appears to be the same rabbit he had as a pet as a kid.
- The gas came from the hostiles, which is why it didn't have a Dharma label. They used the same gas to later gas Kate, Sayid, and Jack.
