Somehow, Ben needs to get all Six back to the island.
Jack - He's on board already because of Locke's death (which could have been set up by Ben)
Kate - Ben sent those two "lawyers" to her house. My original assumption was Widmore, but thinking back on it, what better way to get her to change her mind about going back than making it unsafe for her off-island?
Sayid - Ben had Nadia killed. Sayid would never voluntarily go back and give up his true love, and Ben knew this. How convenient it was for Ben to be right there at Nadia's funeral ready to give meaning and purpose to Sayid's life now that Nadia died?
Sun - She wants to get back because I think she wants to look for Jin. She doesn't believe he's dead and is using her "common interest" with Widmore (aka killing Ben) to get back there.
Hurley - Not sure how Ben's going to convince him, seeing how he's in jail. (DO'H!)
Aaron - Will he need to go back? Ben didn't list his name when saying how he was going to get them all back to the island. Then again, maybe he assumed that wherever Kate goes, Aaron goes.
So Ben is a tricky dude, but we knew that. However, this still leaves me with some questions:
If dead Locke has to go back to the island, do dead Michael and Jin as well? What about Walt? What about Ji-Yeon? She was technically on the island as well and left.
