The orientation video in the Pearl about the psych experiment was older
than
the orientation video in the Swan. It was BEFORE the incident not AFTER.

Thats a good point. Desmond pointed out that maybe it was the other way
around, that the Pearl, was the experiment and not the Swan...maybe thats
it...but you do have a good point.

Ok, I'm confused. I ass-u-me you were referring to Juliet's sister who got
cancer while Juliet was on the island? Ben told her that Jacob himself
would
take care of it and took her to the Flame where she saw her sister in the
park.
If that is what you are refering to, then like I said, she could not leave
the island because Ben would not let her.
