The Locke we saw tonight was certainly a different John Locke than we're used to seeing. Tonight he was assertive, confident, sure of himself, and most of all, he had a plan and a purpose...oh, and a pig. Locke took Richard and Ben to go find himself at the beechcraft, give himself the compass, and give himself the instructions that he knew he'd need in order to fulfill the remainder of his destiny. Kinda weird, huh? I know many of you are screaming paradox, but I hate that word, so I'll be referring to it as spontaneous happenstance from now on. To see the scene again, follow the jump!

LOST producers had to triple their guyliner budget for tonight's Richard centric episode, "Follow the Leader". But, will that manscara investment be a worthy payoff for fans? Richard has long been one of LOST's greatest enigmas: he is seemingly ageless, has kept the same look for the last 60 years (except that one day in the 70's where he hippied out), wears eyeliner, and leads the Others without really leading them. Is he an alien, an ancient Egyptian god or pharoah, Ponce de Leon, an island native? Tonight's episode looks like it may give us some hints, and at the very least, provide more mythology for fans to ponder heading into the two part season finale. It all goes down tonight on ABC! Follow the jump for more details and a preview of "Follow the Leader".

After tonight's episode, I think the word running through most people's thoughts was "wow". Next week's offering has a lot to live up to, and with a Richard centric episode, it just might deliver. Follow the jump to get a second look at the trailer for LOST Season 5 Episode 15, "Follow the Leader". Is Richard the leader, or the one following the leader(s)?

Kid Locke is asked by an immortal Richard Alpert to pick from a display of items objects which he already owns. This sort of test is used to pick a new Dali Lama when the current one dies. Is John Locke a reincarnation of sorts of the island, or Jacob? Perhaps his quest to find Jacob is sort of like Leroy Green's quest to find The Master in "The Last Dragon"? Sho' nuff! Locke fails the test when he picks the knife as being one of the objects he already owns. Other items present include a comic book, Book of Laws, a compass, and a vial with a coarse sand-like material.

Locke is given a special invitation to Camp Mittelos as a teenager, and we see clearly that Richard Alpert, and possibly the "savages" were searching for someone special for a very long time.
