After watching "The Variable" I had an epiphany. Dan is wrong....Jack does need to be there. Jack is "the variable" because he was NOT there the first time around when Eloise shot Daniel. In the "original" timeline, after shooting her son, Eloise probably did a bit of research to find out who came back in time with Daniel. Originally, Jack was probably NOT there. So sending Jack back in time was Eloise's attempt to change "what happened".
Bram and the lady who asked "what lies in the shadow of the statue" are working for Eloise. She is the leader of what Bram called "the winning team." She used Ben and his desire to return to find a way back to the island. She planted two or more of her people on the same plane to STOP Ben from doing whatever he wanted to do.
But here is WHY she pushed her son towards math and science and set him up to go: He DOES have the solution. He wrote the solution in the notebook that SHE gave him....and he brought it back in time with him.
So now there she is in the 70s with the solution in the notebook and a variable that may allow her or someone to change the future.
I know, I know....lots of whole and flaws. Please help me fill them in!
