Sidebar 3 of 3: It seems significant to me that Ford is the one who arrested Sayid. I don't think any one Lostie can automatically serve as any other Lostie's constant. But I'm thinking that each time one Lostie encounters another -- makes a connection -- they get a little better look in that second mirror. During/since the flight, Sideways Jack and Sideways Locke have made a lot of connections. Jack has encountered Rose, Cindy, Charlie, Sayid, Dogen, Desmond, Ilana, Claire, Locke, Bernard, and Kate (eye contact when she was cab-jacking). Locke has encountered Boone, Frogurt, Hurley, Rose, Ben, Arzt, Desmond, Sun, Jin, Jack. Other than Desmond (and probably Bernard) Jack and Locke seem to be the ones most aware that something spectacularly weird is going on. They keep catching sight of themselves in that second mirror.
Islandways; Ajira 316 Landing Site: Faucke approaches the plane. Two Widmorons stand guard. The poor fools shoot at Faucke, but he's the new Man of Steel and walks right through those bullets. He breaks one guard's neck like he's fricking Angel, then shoots the other one, and, curiously enough, grabs his digital watch.
Inside the plane, Faucke finds wires rigged up to something hidden in one of the overhead baggage compartments. His face curls into a snarl as he removes the mysterious object.
Outside, the Losties arrive at the plane. Frank: "Alrighty, let's see what it will take to get this baby to fly." Everyone smiles, except Jack, and possibly Hurley. Then they stumble across the dead Widmoron guards. As Sawyer sonovabitches, Claire grabs the rifle from corpse #1. Sayid: "His neck's been broken." Faucke appears at the plane door. "That's because I broke it." Back on the ground Faucke says that Widmore knew those guards would be killed. "They were only guarding the plane for show. If Charles had really wanted to keep me from actually getting on board he wouldn't have moved his little fences." Hurley: "Wait? Now he wants us to leave the island?" Faucke says no, what Widmore wants is to get them all in a nice confined space they have no hope of getting out of, and then he wants to kill us. Sawyer says: "Kill us with what?" Faucke slides off his backpack and shows the gang the four bricks of C4. He tells them where he found them and says they were wired to the electrical systems of the plane. "If we would have turned it on -- BOOM."
