"Eggtown"... Doug's thoughts
Ok, here's what I'm thinking about "Eggtown" (4.4):
1. The OMG moment: who saw the Aaron revelation coming?! I love these kicks in head at the end of each episode this year.
2. Why was Jack reluctant to see Aaron? Is Aaron Jack's baby half-brother?
3. What's going to happen to the helicopter? Will it fly into a time warp or crash and kill someone?
4. Why did Miles want the money from Ben? Why did he ask for such a precise amount? Where is Ben going to get the money?
5. Now we know who the "he" is that Kate spoke of at the airport meeting with Jack at the end of Season #3.
6. What did the guy yell at Kate when she was entering the courthouse?
7. Why did Jack say there were only 8 survivors of 815? As Kate points out, he's telling a story or lying... right? Who were the other 2?
8. As our mystery friend reported... the book shows up!! James had it!!
9. Will Miles blow up? Will Kate's mom die? Who will "Scooby Doo" Hurley again?

My responses to some of your thoughts:
2) It has to be some guilt of some sort...Aaron IS Jack's nephew. And he does indeed know it's not Sawyer's kid. My guess is that Jack feels responsible for the reason that Aaron is not with his natural mother Claire.
(Doug note: I KNOW! I messed up... CHILL!)
3) We know at least Sayid will survive anything that happens to the chopper...so I'm not too worried. It is probably delayed due to a time-shift.
4) The whole $3.2 million in exact change thing is interesting. Remember how he gave the grieving grandmother a "rebate" after his ghostbuster stint?
XX) we find out from Miles that Ben has an ability to "do" special things...but I'll save this for my blog later today.
Just FYI, if your sibling has a child, then that child is not also your sibling; it is your niece or nephew. Wow.
(Doug note: I know, I know! I got the storyline confused in my brain!!)
