We know what Juliet wants most - to get off the island. I think she's playing all sides to figure out her best way off. She knows Ben just dangles the carrot before her. Maybe the very thing that cures cancer also causes it. We know about the strange electromagentic properties of the island. What if it can heal and kill all at once. All I know is it was nice to see Sawyer size up Ben properly. Bug-eyes bastard indeed. @Sean – You did indeed call Juliet as a ’spy’ so there’s one point for you already.

Lazy in that I don't care to go back and read them to find out if I'm lying. I'm sure y'all will call me out on it if I am. Anyway, I agree with Ed in that even though she was planted there as part of a plan, we don't know that she'll follow thru with it. Maybe she's playing her part too well, but I believe she's more interested in being with Jack than following anything Ben tells her. Out of all the Others, she hasn't once uttered anything about a List or any kind of devotion to Jacob. I think she's realizing she'll be better off with Jack than back with Ben, especially with the sub all swiss cheese -like at the bottom of the cove. We'll see how it plays out over their week. Oh, she's now my favorite island hottie by far, but she did make me puke in my mouth a little bit by being in bed with Goodwin. Interesting spin on Ben. I was figuring he wasn't a man-made man after we find out he's been on the island long before Juliet arrived. You do have an interesting idea in that he's a clone (or something) and that's why he'd get cancer while others do not. I did have one other thought on it though, what if he has cancer and can't cure it because it wasn't what he wanted most? You have to figure that Locke and Rose arrived on the island wanting to be cured of their afflictions most, so that's what happened for them, sort of along the lines of Ben's description of the magic box. However, it doesn't hold much water when you figure most people would now want off the island and that hasn't happened for them, yeah? So, then I brought in the idea that since island women's body's are essentially treating pregnancy as some sort of virus or disease that must be purged, that the longer you are on the island, the better your immune system becomes and that's what causes things like cancer to not occur? But, that wouldn't explain the quick healing of Locke. As for why Juliet has been inserted, I think it is just to get closer to Claire. This seems to be their biggest cause of concern... the inability to come to term. If they wanted to simply kill Charlie, they could have done that long ago.
