My initial instinct, connecting this episode with that, is that Ben might have been told to kill his father, indirectly leading to the death of Dharma, by the island through dreams, as Locke is being led now, which is why he does not attribute the deaths of the bodies in the ditch to himself. Also, that episode introduced a Horace (yes, that Horace) that apparently a young Ben had a lot of respect for, which is why he looked a little startled when Locke picked that particular body.

He was directly involved in the killing of them but I don't remember the rationale. If I recall correctly from last season, Ben was the son of someone in Dharma.

He indeed is an important character, with so many connections to the main characters. Thanks for the info! He indeed is an important character, with so many connections to the main characters.

The orderly is none other than Abaddon, the man who (in a flashback early this season) recruited Naomi and the rest of the gang for the freighter mission. He also briefly appeared at Hurley's asylum, in a scene which I think ultimately contributed to Hurley going totally off the deep end. Thanks for the review – great episode!!
