Or did she keep it all for Aaron? I was never impressed at how Claire would instantly want to inject her child with unknown 'vaccine' because of the possibility it 'might' cure a 'sickness' that may or may not even exist...

I don't think the "injections" do anything either and i don't believe that it cured Claire when Juliet injected her i am sure the implant in her is some kind of radio controlled chip and that Juliet either timed giving the injection with when the effects would have worn off anyway or someone else de-activated it remotely

As for Claire giving Aaron the "vaccine" she was pretty determined at one point that it was the only answer thats why she so desparately wanted to get back to the Staff hatch

I believe some of what Juliet said was true but I think she bent some of the truth to fit with need for Jack to trust her

Yeah she could have done, but in order to make her deception even more convincing I think she would have admitted to some of the bad things she and the rest of the Others have done...let Jack focus on them and her attempts to make amends for them and give him something relatively minor to blame her for, so that he doesn't spend a lot of time thinking up reasons to suspect her of anything worse. She'll admit to certain crimes in order to blind him and divert his attention from her greater ones.

You could be right Ki,that Juliets a devious one!

I re watched Maternity Leave last night and during the conversation between Ethan and Tom,Tom says "What the hell happened? You were supposed to make the list and then bring her in. Was I unclear?"Â*Â*While Juliet tells Kate and Jack that Ethan did it on his own.Im sure there could be reasons but it doesnt quite add up.

Spot on Ki! How does it go, "repent before ye shall be forgiven" - I think it's in the bible, or something?! :P

But yeah, to give the illusion that she is becoming 'one of them' she has to go through the motions; this fiendish plan has already created 'slight' trust between her and the Losties, no doubt we'll have Sun begging for the vaccine soon too, even if she's not showing symptoms - there's score two for Jules.

Ah yes I had forgotten. Ironic when you think about it, she was probably, technically, chasing down the 'sickness' and not the cure...
