I'm trying to sort this in my head with the flashbacks... I'm thinking - chronologically, Locke's flashbacks would be:

Deux Ex Machina when he finds mom and dad and gives up the kidney
Orientation - with Helen and Anger Management over the incident with his father (perhaps the "therapy" that's mentioned in this episode that he gave up?)
Lockdown - with Helen still, and dealing with losing dad
Further Instructions - had to come next, because he's not yet in the wheelchair.
The Man From Tallahassee - where we see him go into the wheel chair
Walkabout - in the chair, working at the box factory, off to Australia

(these are the only Locke epis, correct?)

Anyway... I'm curious.. what happened between Lockdown - where he was doing his inspection business, and I'm guessing the loss of Helen caused him to do the "pot camp" thing.. but even there he seems happy and sort of accepting... but the Locke in this weeks flashbacks was very depressed, loner, no nothing going on... doesn't even appear to have a job... the many faces of Locke.. :D

Don't forget we don't know how the whole pot thing ended. He had the gun on the undercover cop....

He was used again, according to the cop, becuase he was weak and an easy target...

That might have put him in a depressed state that he was finally at peace and excepting and then to be tricked once again...

I stumbled onto a thread a few days ago that "order" the episodes for each character in chronological sequence. Really pretty cool. It gives a different perspective on the characters as you see their lives unfold in the correct order.

Unfortunately, I can't find it again. :frown:
