Jin made a mistake giving his ring to Locke as “Proof” that he is dead. The only thing that the ring could prove is that he made it back to the Island.
And of course, the ring is used to prove that Jin is still alive. And Locke didn’t even have to break his promise. He let Ben do the proving.
Just as I suspected, Faraday’s mother is Mrs. Hawking, the woman who spoke with Desmond about time. Desmond recognized her, but I didn’t see any recognition on her face, so maybe their meeting is in her future. One observation that I would like to make about that: Mrs. Hawking had told Desmond that you can’t change the past. If you prevent someone from dieing one day, they will just die the next. And true enough, Desmond kept saving Charlie’s life, only to have him facing death again. And eventually, Charley did die. But not before turning off the radio jammer, which allowed the boat to come and get the 6 off the Island. And that, therefore, is why they were not supposed to get off the Island. If Charlie had died earlier, like he was supposed to, they never would have gotten off the Island. So Desmond IS different. The rules don’t apply to him (as Faraday said), and he can change the past. But should he?
We saw how Danielle killed the rest of her party. We were told earlier that they were affected by a sickness. Now we saw that they were brought down a hold, and were changed by that. It seemed to be the same hole that Locke was almost brought down. Now I have more questions about that. How does that change them? If Locke had been dragged down the hole, would he have been changed? Why, if Locke is so important to the Island, did it want to pull him down there? Why didn’t it try again later? Is the smoke monster even affiliated with the will of the Island? And why does the smoke monster smash some people, and drag others?

Well, shoot, this episode was a week and a half ago. I can't remember the details! And I can't answer any of your questions.
I thought it was a pretty interesting episode. Learning that Charlotte grew up on the island. Learning that Faraday was who she saw many years before on the island (so he's not aging just like Richard?).
I just don't understand why any of those people, including Jack, will have anything to do with Ben. Are they nuts?
Roy, go write about this week's episode. I have questions and I have comments.
At this point, I am more inclined to to say that Faraday will jump into the past, and see Charlotte as a young girl, rather than saying that he is not aging.
We already know that Faraday was in the past since he was one of the workers in the tunnel when that doctor in the Dharma videos goes down there to look at what they found.
I know when I was watching the episode I saw someone pass by the camera that I thought was Sawyer...but I though "naw" so now I may need to undelete the episode from TIvO and look at it again.
