(One of the 13 special webisodes that aired before season 4)

Original Air Date: November 20, 2007
Summary: Ben and Jack play chess. Ben asks Jack if he would consider staying on the Island. Jack asks Ben if he intends to keep his promise to let Jack leave. Ben says that its not all up to him in that the Island will not necessarily let Jack leave. He also tells Jack that if he does leave, there might be a time when he would want to come back. Jack tries an aggressive move in the game and Ben immediately counters with another move (Castling). (lostpedia.com)

The special webisodes are only a few minutes long and are optional.  They aired 13 of them before season 4 started and each webisode filled in a narrative gap somewhere in the timeline from the first three seasons. They aren't necessary to understand or follow the show but it's really neat to see fun little fill-ins.

5 stars from me!

Dude, it's like Ben prophesized Jack's obsession with returning to the island. This was obviously right before Locke blows up the sub and Ben already knows about it. He's just playing with Jack in more ways than one.

Awesome!!! I know why I was holding back the 5 star rating on the webisodes before lol!

Even though Ben is willing to let Jack go, his smarty pants brain knows that Jack's chances are about to be compromised. I love Ben and his brain lol.
