Sneak peeks at 5.07: 'Jeremy Bentham'

This week's episode is "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham." And just from the title, Losties know it's all about what happens to John Locke after he adjusts the Frozen Donkey Wheel and sends the surviving Strandaways into one more timeflash (which apparently leaves them stuck back in the Dharma Initiative era).

Presumably we'll see how Locke ended up in that coffin. Maybe we'll even find out what happened to his corpse when Ajira 316 passed over the Island last week and the Oceanic 5 were, apparently, timeflashed right out of the airplane.

Of course, this being Lost, one must ask: Is Locke really dead? Ben certainly avoided answering that question when Jack asked. Surely it can't be a coincidence that Locke's face looked more whiskery last week, in the butcher shop's meat locker, than it did at the Hoffs-Drawlar funeral parlor. We're guessing the late Locke's about to join his pal, Dr. Christian Shephard, as a reincarnated inhabitant of Craphole Island.

If you're spoiler-ready, check out the three sneak-peek videos that were released today in advance of the show (airing Wednesday on ABC, 8 p.m. Central).
