My LOST theory is based on no spoiler knowledge except for the title of the episode for 4.25.09.

Things we know from prior episodes that are used in my theory:

• John Locke has been transported off the island and has taken the alias of Jeremy Bentham
• Abaddon convinced Locke to go on the walkabout that lead him to the island, and now holds some influence over John.
• Saiyd perceives the “Economist” as an enemy to himself and Ben
• Saiyd and Ben have a falling out at some point

Okay, here it goes…

Locke is transported off the island and once again comes in contact with Abaddon. Abaddon reminds Locke that he owes him for introducing the island to his life. Abaddon then convinces Locke that the best way to get everyone back to the island is by allying himself with his (and Widmore’s) team.

Meanwhile, Sayid wages war against Widmore’s team at Ben’s command. Sayid learns of the “Economist,” a man adverse to technology. The only other characters known to be adverse to technology are Jacob and John Locke. I believe John is the Economist.

Locke meets with Walt, Hurley, and Jack as his plans with Widmore’s team break down and he realizes that once again he is being played.

Sayid eventually succeeds in locating the Economist and kills Bentham/Locke. Once Sayid sees who he killed, he breaks from Ben’s manipulations.

This leaves us about where we are currently in the off-island story line.
