Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg? Nobody knows. Lost seems to have put a new spin on that question with this episode.

Which came first…?

RICHARD: Why did you do that?

ELOISE: He had a gun on you.

RICHARD: He wasn’t gonna shoot me, Eloise.

FARADAY: Eloise. [Gasping] You knew. You always knew. [Panting] You knew this was gonna happen. You sent me here anyway.

ELOISE: Who are you?

FARADAY: I… I’m your son. [Gasps]

So, in 1977 Eloise shoots an old Daniel Faraday who comes into their camp armed with a gun. Seems like a reasonable thing to do given that he seems threatening. As he lays dying he tells Eloise that he is her son and she sent him there knowing full well that she’d shoot him.
