Yeah it was an answering episode for sure. Told us what Sawyer said, what happened with his kid, what happened to Aaron, why Kate decided to go back.
Hurley as always is awesome! Not sure about the excuse of "he will forget this ever happened" for explaining Ben's lack of memory with Sayid, but I did like the way they had Hurley trump Miles' explanation and then get rid of that trump in the same episode, to basically say "Miles' reasoning is correct".
