Think the main thing about Flocke seeing the kid was that it was that it reminded people of something bigger at play that everyone seems to have fogotten - The Eyeland IS a character. All the little weird things and coincidences are attributed to something bigger at work than simply Jacob and the MIB. The Eyeland is reminding MIB that there are rules, and whatever game/situation the series is leading too, it's got something to do with the remaining survivors as being possible candidates. I think Ben and Widmore were candidates, but like MIB stated in season 5, 'they come, they destroy, the corrupt'. Hurley, Jack, Kate, Sun, Jin, Sawyer and Locke are Jacob's A team.
Even though Locke is dead, after seeing that episode, I just got this hella crazy John Locke type feeling that in the alternate timeline, Locke is going to call Jack, get his legs fixed, and end up back on the Island with the rest of them.
Thought the 'inside' joke pretty good. Like how it illustrates the 'dark' side is currently outweighing the 'light' side.
Very good episode.
Cannot wait to find out Richard/Jacob/MIB's stories.
