In last night's episode, when Ben began to leave after the group met with Faraday's mother in the church, Jack asked him where he was going. Ben said he had some unfinished business to take care of before they got on the plane.

Penny ain't dead. My guess is yes, Ben intended on killing her, but after he saw little Charlie, he couldn't do it.

Oh, and Penny is smoking hot.

I just wanna watch it in HD again. I could care less about basketball this season as compared to Lost.

Has there ever been any evidence of Ben showing any consideration or morality in the past. Heck he just told Jack he didn't care if the rest of the passengers died in getting him back to the island!

I agree, Penny isn't dead, but I don't see Ben having a change of heart. He is a sadistic person. Who do you think kicked his butt?

Exactly! If Ben saw little Charlie, it would have been more in Ben's character to kill Penny and take Charlie as his own son. I don't think he killed Penny though.

I don't think Ben killed Penny. Penny was not in LA. I think his unfinished business might have been with whoever tried to kill or attack Sayeed or his new wife.

I think he clearly went after Penny once he new Desmond was in town. He even mentioned something about not only unfinished business but following up on a promise to someone. He promised Whiddmore he'd kill Penny.

Desmond probably - he was in the military you know.

Unfortunately, I think I agree with you.....

Exactly. He also attacks Keamy when he was wearing the heart monitor bomb device. And John says something like "you've just killed everyone on that boat" and Ben says "that's not my problem".

Didn't Penny and Charlie (their son) go to LA with Desmond? They just weren't with him when he went to the church.

EDIT -- I don't think the woman with Sayid was his wife. It looked to me like she was escorting him in handcuffs. I could be wrong, but I thought that's what I saw.

MINOR SPOILER IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE PROMO FOR NEXT WEEK...

She's shown talking to Locke in the promo for next week's episode, so we'll probably find out more then.

I think they did. I think Penny said she would go with Desmond to take care of this. Once Ben saw Desmond, he probably figured Penny would be around.

I still don't think Penny was killed, could be wrong though. I don't think Penny could have wounded Ben that bad. Ben could have just shot her due to lack of time. I think something else happened that we don't know.
