I have often thought that if *I* were an Oceanic Six, I would have probably ended up googling myself and the other people on the plane and *surely* the fact that one of the people on the plane had previously miraculously survived a fall out of eighth story window would have come up at some point, which would prove that John actually had grounds for believing what he did and that he wasn't batshit after all. But then, I guess in reality that's a bit of a long shot. :-P

Anyway, I really liked this. Lots of bits that ran true (
There was some statement by some guy named Randy Nations, who apparently had worked with John, something trite and generic about how he'd been a valued employee and would be sorely missed. Just the kind of thing he would have hated.) although the idea that Helen would conclude John had ended up dead because he'd gone back to working with his father after all broke my heart. (And made me hate Ben a little more, because dammit why couldn't someone have just been genuinely nice to John for once. :/)

I am also still pretty cross about them killing Helen for NO REASON so, yeah.

The part about her wondering if Locke was working with Cooper again was a bit of a strange one for me to write, because I didn't really like to think of her believing that, but I did have to consider that she probably would have had no idea what else to believe (given that by claiming she was dead, Abaddon had prevented them from having contact and giving Locke a chance to explain).

I know there was a theory at one point about the maps visible in Jack's room in Through The Looking Glass were somehow connected to the locations of the survivors before the crash. If there was anything in that, then maybe Jack did Google them too? Or maybe it's just another theory that won't pan out, who knows?

They should never have killed her!
