What they discover in this week's episode isn't really a hatch, per se, but it is another underground-hole-hideout-thing.

Friendly Mr. Zeke may have something in common with Tobias Fünke [from Arrested Development]. Zeke has hair plugs? You are sorta, kinda on the right track.

Guest starring are M.C. Gainey as Mr. Friendly, Mira Furlan as Danielle Rousseau, Michael Emerson as Henry Gale, Tania Raymonde as young girl and William Mapother as Ethan.

Are we about to meet Rousseau's never-before-seen daughter, Alex, on Lost? I'm thinking yes since 17-year-old actress Tania Raymonde has just joined the cast. You may remember Raymonde as Frankie Muniz's on-again off-again crush on Malcolm in the Middle.

A desperate Claire, along with Kate and Rousseau, attempts a return to the scene of her kidnapping where she believes she might find the cure for Baby Aaron's mysterious illness. Meanwhile, Jack and Locke must keep their prisoner a secret from the rest of the survivors.

Big, huge, huge stuff coming up with Claire and the baby. She has a flashback ep coming up, and in it, Aaron is going to take a turn. Claire is going to start remembering. She's going to go places.

You will be learning more about Claire, her baby, AND Danielle in the coming weeks. And although I can't guarantee that nothing bad will happen to any of them -- without real jeopardy, there are no stakes in this story -- and the chance that people we care about will come to harm, well... isn't that why we all keep watching in the first place? I wrote the next Claire episode (along with Dawn Kelly) and I know I can speak for both of us when I say that we hope you enjoy it.

We have another new survivor. In episode 2.15, we will be introduced to Jessica, 16, who is described as smart, strong, attractive and will be found on the island. She is also described as being "one with nature." They are looking for 18-20 year olds to play her.

Bonjour, New Hatch...or are you!?! (My comical premonition of the new "hatch"):

Kate: Why didst though lead me to the home of Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit, esquire?
French Lady: They speak in whispers...dark and diseased...corrupt...the Ringraiths. Even though I'm crazy and stereotypical, you still trust me over the innocent man I captured earlier today. Gollum! My Preciousss!

Claire: It's beautiful!
Kate: It's just a shed.
Claire: Should we open it?
Kate: Naw! Let's wait another three weeks of suspense and then open it.

Claire: What's Chuck Norris doing here?
Kate: If I hear one more Chuck Norr...hey it really is Chuck Norris...or no! That's Desmond!
Desmond: Haha! Fooled ya! It was all one big reality show!
(Meanwhile, French Lady does nothing, because she seems to have disappeared from the scene.)
