yeah, it all seems to be coming full circle, the flash sideways.
rose works for hurley, hurley knows locke, locke knows jack, jack knows charlie, charlie is in sawyers jail, sawyer knows kate. kate knows claire. sayids brother is in jacks hospital, and sayid knows jin who is married to sun. jack also mentioned going to the dentist, just a hunch, but bernard is a dentist.
locke also knows ben, and jack knows desmond.
